Chasing The Rejected

Chapter 21 

-CLARA- 

J 

After that, things just became worse between Damon and I but this time, it didn’t bother me because I was done trying to see if he and i 

could work. 

I still acted like a caring wife in front of his family and Pack but when we were alone, we were strangers. 

Soon, it was the day of Liam’s and Veronica’s wedding, I wasn’t excited to be back at that pack but I was excited to see Aunt Amelia again. 

The make up artist and hairstylist finished their magic on me and like last time, I couldn’t recognize myself. My blond hair was slicked back on a bun and the no makeup look was done splendidly. 

Delilah came in later and helped me get ready and I was in awe of the dress Damon had gotten for me and I couldn’t lie, he had style. 

“This green dress brings out the slight green in your eyes. You look beautiful, Clara” She complimented and I smiled. 

Despite how crazy she was most of the time, Delilah and I had gotten very close and it was nice having a friend besides Aunt Amelia. 

“I can’t help but notice you and my brother are having issues” Delilah suddenly uttered and i turned to her with wide eyes. I thought Damon and I were acting out the living couple perfectly? 

“Why would you say that?” I questioned and she smiled. 

“I know my brother and he’s been more moody than usual and I had a feeling it had to do with you. Did you guys fight? Look Clara, my brother is a good guy, he…” Unable to stop myself, I let out a scoff and she halted her sentence. 

“Can we not talk about this, please? I just want to get this day over with” I murmured and she nodded slightly before leading me out of my 

room. 

Just like last time, Damon and Luca were waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs. 

I took a deep breath before walking down the stairs and even though I wasn’t looking at him, I could feel Damon’s eyes on me. 

“You look gorgeous, Madam Clara” Luca complimented and I smiled at him. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Let’s go” Damon uttered then turned around and immediately walked away without glancing back. 

“Don’t mind him. Let me escort you” Luca uttered and I smiled slightly as he led me out of the house. 

Soon, I was inside the car with Damon, the driver and Luca sitting in the front seat. 

The tension in the air was almost unbearable and I was tempted to say something but I kept it to myself. 

Luca tried breaking the awkward tension by cracking a few jokes but Damon ignored him and I did too so he eventually gave up. 

I didn’t sleep the whole way there because Damon’s Aura was blatantly too suffocating and soon enough, we got to Liam’s pack gate. 

The guards at the gate came over to run their usual protocol but when they saw Damon, they immediately stepped back and let us through.

As we drove in, a frown appeared on my face when I saw the decorations. I remember discussing this with Liam a year ago about how I wanted our wedding to be like and he did it for Veronica? And I thought my mood couldn’t get any worse. 

We got to the hall where the wedding was being held and the ache in my heart knew no bounds. Liam was shameless for giving Veronica 

the wedding of my dreams. How dare he? 

“Let’s go” Damon uttered as he opened up his door and I shook my head then turned away from him, I couldn’t let him see me cry. 

“Just give me a minute” I murmured and I expected him to just yank me out but Damon just nodded his head and closed the door behind 

him. 

I was alone in the car since they had all stepped out and I took a few deep breaths to calm my nerves. 

“Clara, get a hold of yourself. You just have to get him to reject you and then you can move on with your life” I muttered to myself with my 

wolf trying to calm me down as well. 

After taking another deep breath, I climbed out of the car and immediately went to Damon’s side. He glanced down at me like he was 

making sure I was okay but I just ignored him. I wasn’t going to be fooled by him again. 

“Let’s go in” Damon uttered then grabbed my hand as we walked into the building. 

Everyone’s eyes immediately turned to us as we walked in and I noticed the way Liam’s eyes widened when he saw me. 

He was standing at the a 

altar with Veronica and it seemed like they had been reciting their vows. 

“Good day, Alpha Damon” Everyone immediately simultaneously greeted, even Liam and Damon gave them a curt nod. 

“Proceed” And the wedding immediately went on. He wasn’t even the Alpha King and his power was already this intense. 

We got to our designated seat and I couldn’t help but notice Liam stealing glances at me from time to time. 

Aunt Amelia immediately made her way to me and to say I missed her was an understatement. I immediately got up to hug her tight and ! wished she would just follow me back. Living with Damon would be much more bearable. 

We exchanged some pleasantries and she had to go back to her seat. 

I sat back down and noticed Liam was still staring at me and it seemed a few people were beginning to notice as well including Damon. 

As soon as I sat down,he placed his hand on my thigh and gave it a little squeeze which forced my eyes to him. 

“If he keeps staring at you, I’ll gouge his eyes out” Damon muttered nonchalantly but I could see he wasn’t joking. I could hear the threat 

In his tone 

“And do you, Alpha Liam Whitlock, take Miss Veronica Dunlop as your lawfully wedded Wife?” The priest questioned and we all turned to Liam who seemed to be hesitating and then he turned to me. 

“If Clara agrees to marry me now then no, I will not marry Veronica because I love Clara and want her as my wife” Liam uttered and everyone gasped while I stared at him with wide eyes. 

I noticed the way Damon’s fingers almost painfully got tighter on my thighs but I was too speechless to turn to him. 

Liam suddenly got off the stage as he walked towards our table.

“I’m sorry for what I did to you and I know now it was awfully wrong and I know I don’t deserve your forgiveness but I’m willing to make it right. The love we shared wasn’t in vain and I love you beyond any mate bond. Will you marry me now, Clara?” Before I could utter a word, Damon suddenly leaped up from the seat and pounced on Liam. 

Everyone Immediately got up and I was about to rush to them but Luca held me back. 

“You’ll get hurt,” Luca uttered but I didn’t care. I glanced down at Liam and it seemed like he could die at any second. 

“Stop it Damon, you’ll kill him!” I screamed and Damon’s list paused mid air. 

“How dare you disrespect me by asking my wife to marry you? You insignificant bastard!” Damon screamed and everyone immediately 

went silent. 

I don’t… care if… if you married her, she loves me… and I love… I love her too” Liam struggled to say and I could see his words were making Damon angrier. 

Damon got off him and roughly pulled Liam up from the ground before turning him to me. 

“Reject her now” Damon uttered and my eyes grew wide. 

“I… I won’t” Liam uttered. Despite his current state, he was still being stubborn. 

Damon suddenly drove his hand into Liam’s chest and everyone screamed including me 

“Damon!” I screamed as fear enveloped me. 

“If you don’treject her, I’ll kill you and your mark will inevitably disappear so do you want it the hard way or the easy way?” Damon uttered threateningly and the only thing that could be heard were the cries of everyone around, especially Liam’s mother’s. 

Liam pursed his lips as he stared into my eyes and the tears dropped before I could stop myself. 

“Liam, reject me. It’s okay I murmured and he shook his head. 

“I love…” Damon shook his hand further into his chest and Liam groaned in pain before spitting out blood. 

“Damon!” I cried out. 

“Say it!” Damon muttered through clenched teeth and I grabbed onto Liam’s face. 

“It’s okay, reject me. Do it now Liam I urged and he let out a sigh before bowing his head. 

“I, Alpha Liam Whitlock, reject Clara as…” 

“Clara Donovan” Damon growled and I clenched my fist. 

Clara Donovan as my chosen mate” As soon as Liam said that, pain shot through my whole body and I fell to the ground instantly. 

er to me and immediately, Liam’s family ran up to him and rushed him out of 

Damon removed his hand from Liam’s chest as he walked over 

the hall. 

“I hate you” I muttered softly while clenching onto my chest with tears running down my cheeks.

Damon didn’t bother replying and just carried me in his arms as he walked out of the hall…
