Chasing The Rejected

-CLARA-

Before I could utter a word, Damon pulled me away from behind then landed a punch on Dimitri’s jaw.

“What the f**k are you doing here?!” Damon growled and would have pounced on him if I wasn’t holding on to

him.

“Damon!” I heard Delilah yell as she ran up to us and immediately helped Dimitri up from the ground.

“You haven’t lost your touch brother” Dimitri uttered then spat out blood before flashing Damon a smile which

only seemed to make him angrier.

Luckily Luca arrived and was able to hold Damon down with me.

“Why is he here?!” Damon questioned as he turned to Delilah.

“I know we have our differences but I’m your brother, Damon. You didn’t think to tell me that you had gotten

married to such a beautiful lady?” Dimitri said with a smirk and I frowned when my eyes met his.

Why was he intentionally trying to pi** Damon off?

As if on cue, the Alpha King appeared and stood in front of Dimitri.

“1 gave

him the permission to come, Damon” The Alpha King informed, earning a scoff from Damon.

“And why in goddess’ name would you do that? I specifically said he couldn’t come back” He muttered through clenched teeth and my hold on him tightened. I knew he was this close to pouncing on not only Dimitri but the Alpha King as well.

“You seem to be forgetting but I’m still the Alpha King till you assume the position so therefore, I don’t have to go through you” The Alpha King replied, earning a threatening growl from Damon and everyone immediately shook with fear including the Alpha King which/surprised me.

“Look, your mother wanted to see him, I wanted to see him. He’s our son as well and we know what he did was wrong…” Dimitri suddenly scoffed, interrupting the Alpha King’s words.

“I stayed away just like you asked and I won’t have come back but I found out mother was sick so I had to come see her. When she’s better, I’ll get out of your hair alright?” Dimitri uttered with a bored tone as he wiped away blood on his mouth.

Did you f**g forget what you did? Aurora Is here and…” As soon as he said that, I glanced around a

was nowhere to be seen..

“She’s gone” I told Damon and he immediately glanced around.

“S**t!” He muttered and I didn’t miss the way Dimitri rolled his eyes.

“I’ll go look for her” I murmured as I detached myself from him.

“Are you sure?” He questioned and I nodded.

“Finish up here and you can come find us” I told him then placed a kiss on his cheek before running away to find

her.

I briefly turned around and could still see Damon arguing with them but luckily, Luca was still holding him down.

I turned around and ran into the house, following Aurora’s lingering scent. The maids told me she had gone

upstairs and I didn’t need to be told where she was.

I walked into the room and the minute she saw me, a frown appeared on her face.

“Are you okay?” I questioned but she ignored me and kept staring at the door which made me frown.

I cleared my throat as I walked closer to her and sat down on the bed.

“I know Dimitri’s arrival might be triggering but…”

“You do know we are not friends right?” She interrupted and my eyes widened slightly.

“Excuse me?”

“I don’t like you because you stole my man” She revealed and I scoffed. Her man?

“But I’m willing to tolerate it because Damon seems to like you so don’t try to be buddies with me because l don’t like you” She uttered and I was about to say something when Damon walked into the room. He was covered in dirt which made me believe he had thrown a few more punches at Dimitri after I left.

“Damon!” Aurora cried out and I was shook when I saw her crying. The girl that had just been talking to me coldly now seemed so weak and fragile.

She stood up from the bed and ran over to Damon, throwing herself in his arms.

His eyes immediately flew to me and I could see the panic in his eyes so I just smiled and nodded.

He patted Aurora on the back slightly then pulled away.

“Why is he here, Damon? What if he does it again? Can’t he be sent away?” She cried and I almost began to feel sorry for her till I remembered how she had spoken to me earlier.

“My mother wants him here but don’t worry, He’s not going to come close to you, okay? You don’t have to be afraid of him” Damon assured her and at that moment, I realized how much he had changed.

The Damon I first met would have been thrown off by her tears.

“He came here because of me, I just know it. He’s going to come for me again but if I’m close to you, he won’t tr

anything” She said and I frowned.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“Let me stay here with you and Clara. I’m sure Clara won’t mind right?” She questioned then turned to me and should have said no, I should have said I didn’t want her anywhere near Damon but I found myself nodding befor

I realized it.

“See? She doesn’t mind” Aurora uttered as she turned to Damon and he stared down at her with a frown before

turning to me.

“She does mind and you can’t stay here. This is my matrimonial home with Aurora and I don’t intend on sharing it with you” He uttered and happiness swelled up in my heart.

I smiled at him and he smiled back.

“Ohh… can I at least be here during the day? I don’t trust Dimitri. Please Damon” She pleaded and he sighed.

“Okay. Now if you’ll excuse me…” As he said that, he moved away from her and walked towards me.

“I believe I’m owing you lunch, wife” He murmured then outstretched his hand and I smiled brightly.

“I believe you are, husband” I responded as I placed my hand in his and stood up.

Despite not looking at her, I could feel the sinister aura coming from Aurora and for some reason, I was starting to

get scared…

NOTE:

I’ve changed her name back to Aurora and I know some of you are still seeing the mistakes but it takes time for the changes to reflect so please be patient with me. Things are about to get messy!
