Chasing The Rejected

-CLARA-

Dimitri didn’t seem too keen on my idea but he understood that it had to be done if we wanted to get rid of Aurora. We had no proof against her and she had managed to brainwash Damon and everyone else into thinking she was a good person so without proof, our words were baseless and with Dimitri’s bad reputation, no one would believe a word he said.

After discussing with him, I immediately went back home because I knew if Damon saw me with him after our argument, all hell was going to be let loose.

I was so lost in thoughts, thinking over the plan that I hadn’t even known Damon had walked into the living

room.

“You’ve got something on your mind?” His voice snapped me out of my thoughts immediately. I turned to him and smile immediately appeared on my lips.

His hair was disheveled and he looked like he hadn’t slept in weeks but despite that, he was still the most handsome man I had ever seen.

“How long have you been standing there?” I questioned as I stood up and ran into his arms, inhaling his addicting scent. “Wasn’t too long, I just got here. May I know what’s going on in that pretty head of yours?” He questioned and I glanced up at him before shaking my head.

“It’s nothing. I just missed you, you’re neglecting me these days Damon” I said then pouted and he chuckled.

“Because of your advice the other day, I’ve finally decided to take over as Alpha King” He informed me and I gasped with my eyes wide.

“Are you serious? That’s great news!” I exclaimed and he chuckled as he reached out to caress my face.

“Yeah but I’m not Alpha King yet so don’t get too excited. There are some things I need to take care of first” He told me and I nodded.

“Your father must be happy. Now he can spend more time with your mother” I said and he scoffed.

“That old man has already offloaded all his work on me despite me not being the Alpha King yet. Such a slacker” He muttered and I giggled before taking his hand.

“Would you like to eat dinner first or eat me first?” I questioned and I grinned when he let out a deep growl.

“You already know the answer to that” He muttered and I squealed as he threw me over his shoulders and rushed me upstairs.

By the time we were done, neither of us were hungry for real food so we just decided to stay cuddled in bed together.

I traced the tattoo on Damon’s abdomen as I laid my head on his chest.

“Does your Tattoo have any meaning behind them?” I questioned softly.

“Not really, I was just a rebellious kid. The tattoo on my back though was what gave me the name death viper” He told me and Inodded slowly.

“I thought they called you that because you were a bringer of death or something” I commented and he chuckled.

“That too” He replied and we went quiet for a while, just enjoying each other’s company.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

“I want to tattoo your name on my body, Clara” Damon suddenly said and my eyes widened in shock.

“What?” I questioned as I turned to stare up at him. He took my hand and placed it on his chest.

“Right here, I’ll tattoo your name right above my heart. If I could tattoo it on my heart, I would because it belongs to you” He murmured and I shrieked.

“You don’t have to be so cheesy, Damon” I said and he rolled his eyes.

“You’re so unromantic, I’m not doing it anymore” He uttered then scoffed as he turned away from me and I sighed as a small smile played on my lips.

“I’m sorry and I love that you would want to tattoo my name on your body. It means a lot to me so don’t be mad, hmm?” I said as I caressed his face but he still refused to look at me.

He was such a big teddy bear sometimes.

“How about I tattoo your name on my body as well?” I tittered and he immediately turned to me with wide eyes.

“Really?” He questioned and I nodded before pointing at the spot above my breast…

“Right here near my heart. Would you like that?” I questioned and he immediately nodded before wrapping his arms around my body.

“I would love that but only if you really want to do it and not just because you want to make me happy” He murmured and I rolled my eyes.

“Now who’s being unromantic?” I questioned and he chuckled before peppering my face with kisses.

“I love you so much” He murmured against my skin and I smiled.

“Do you trust me Damon?” I questioned suddenly and he immediately turned to stare at my face.

“Of course I do, Clara,” He said.

“Will you always be on my side? Will you always hear my side of the story before concluding, hmm?” I questioned and he frowned.

“Why are you asking such a question, Cl…”

“Just answer me, Damon. I need to know” I said softly and he stared into my eyes for a while before nodding.

your

side,okay?” He

“I’ve told you before that I’ll always be on your side and I meant every word. No matter what, I’ll take assured me and I smiled then nodded before resting my head on his chest as I let out a sigh of relief.

I hoped he would stick to his words because my plan was going to test if he trusted me or not.

“You know you can always tell me if something is bothering you right? I’ll listen” He said after a while and I smiled.

I know he would listen but he wouldn’t believe me especially because he had a level of trust for Aurora.

I know I should have probably just let Damon banish her out of the pack but I wasn’t just thinking about Damon and I

anymore.

My hand immediately trailed down and I let out a sigh as I caressed my stomach.

I was thinking of our unborn child as well and in order to keep our baby safe this time, Aurora needed to be gone for good.

Even if I had to risk everything, I had to get rid of her…
