Chasing The Rejected Luna's Heart (Clara and Liam)



-CLARA-

I scoffed at his words.

"Damon doesn't fucking care about me so why should I put him first? He threw me away so I'm going to pick my uncle's side over his" I told him and a look crossed over his face which made me narrow my eyes suspiciously at him.

"Why do you have that look on your face?" I questioned and he let out a nervous laugh.

"About that..." He trailed off and I frowned before grabbing onto his shirt.

"Please tell me you didn't lie about that as well" I uttered as I stared at him but the look in his eyes already told me all I needed to know.

"If I didn't say all that, if you didn't believe Damon threw you away, you wouldn't have come with me" He explained and I stared at him in disbelief. "What exactly did Luca tell you, Dimitri? Speak!" I yelled and his eyes immediately widened.

"Damon only asked you to be escorted out of the pack to his safe house because he was scared my father or Delilah would hurt you if my mother was proclaimed dead. He never abandoned you, as a matter of fact, despite knowing the truth, he still didn't want to get rid of you, he just wanted you to be safe" As Dimitri explained, I could feel my heart racing.

"And the baby? Did you tell him about the baby?" I questioned and when he shook his head, I lost it and punched him in the eye.

"Fuck! I know you're mad but..." Before he could complete his statement, I landed another blow on his cheek.

He was wrong, I wasn't mad, I was fucking livid and I wanted nothing more than to hurt Dimitri.

"Clara, please can you calm down and let's talk?" Dimitri asked as he grabbed onto my fist to try and stop me from punching him again but I just pulled back my foot and kicked him as hard as I could by the side.

He cursed as he doubled over and I smiled when I saw the bruise on his cheek.

"You had the chance to talk to me but yet you decided to deceive me! You bastard!" I screamed in his face and he sighed.

"I know what I did was wrong but it was the only way. You would have never gone with me if I hadn't said that. I'm sorry, I really am" He said and I could see the sincerity in his eyes but I didn't believe it.

He has been lying to my face and made me believe Damon had abandoned me and his child.

"Hand me your phone now, I need to speak with Damon" I told him as I stretched my hand towards him.

"No, I can't risk you telling him where we are and ruining everything" He said to me and I scoffed.

"I'm not playing any more games with you. Give me your phone, I need to talk to my husband" I roared before trying to reach for the phone in his pocket but he swiftly moved away, stood up and took a few steps away from me.

"I can't let you ruin everything, Clara. I promise you, it will be over soon and I'll return you safely to Damon. If you tell him where you are and he comes to get you, everything will be in vain and Damon will still be in trouble so please Clara, just drop it" He pleaded with me and I frowned.

"How do you feel knowing your brother, whom you're fighting so dearly for, didn't even know I'm with his child yet I shouted at him over the phone and even told him I hated him? We lost a child once and that broke both of us. He must be thinking he has lost me and our child and I cannot even describe how he must be feeling right now. I need to talk to him, Dimitri" I tried to reason with him but there was an adamant look in his eyes.

"Clara..."

"I won't mention my whereabouts to him. Heck, I don't even know where we are so please let me talk to him and put his mind at ease" I interrupted his words and we both had a stare down for a while before Dimitri eventually gave up.

"Fine but not a word about the plan or anything of that sort. You have only ten minutes to talk to him, I don't want him tracking down my number" He said to me and sighed when he saw the stubborn look on my face.

"You have to promise me or I won't give you my phone" He uttered and I rolled my eyes.

"Fine, I promise! Now give me" He stared at me for a while before reaching into his pocket. He brought out his phone, unlocked it and dialed Damon's number before handing the phone to me.

Damon picked on the third ring.

"You bastard! I'm going to kill you the minute I lay my hands on you! I'll break all your bones and make sure you never get reincarnated!" Damon screamed so loudly that I had to pull the phone away from my ear for a second.

"Damon, it's me" I murmured softly and he went quiet for a while before I heard him take in a sharp breath.

"Clara? My love? Oh goddess, I don't understand what's going on. What baby? What were you talking about? Please talk to me" The tone of his voice immediately broke my heart.

I could hear the pain, the sadness and fear in his voice.

"I'm sorry, Damon. I thought you abandoned me and the baby because Dimitri lied to me and made me believe that" I explained and he sighed.

"I will never abandon you, Clara. I love you too much to do that and I'm sorry I didn't trust you immediately even though you asked me to. I'm so sorry baby" He replied and I smiled.

"It's okay, I know the truth now" I assured him and he sighed again.

"Are you really pregnant, my love?" He asked softly and I could feel the tears brewing as I hummed in response.

I really wanted to be near him right now.

"Yes, I wanted to tell you but I didn't want Aurora finding out and hurting me or the baby" I told him and he went quiet for a while.

"You didn't think I would be able to protect both of you?" He asked in a whisper and by his tone, he knew the answer already.

It wasn't that I didn't think he couldn't protect us but he hadn't believed me when I told him about Aurora and I wasn't willing to take any more chances.

I didn't say anything as we both went silent. The only thing I could hear was his breathing at that point.

"Where are you? I'll come to you and we can talk properly hmm? Do you know where you are?" He questioned and I quickly glanced at Dimitri before letting out a sigh.

"I can't... I can't return back to you right now. There's something I must do but I promise I'm safe, okay? Don't worry about me" I tried assuring him but I knew it was of no use.

"What the fuck do you mean? Clara, talk to me. What does Dimitri want with you?" He questioned and I pursed my lips.

"We are going to speak to my uncle who is the leader of the human hunters..."

"Clara!" Dimitri interrupted with a warning tone but I just glared at him.

"I'm not hiding anything from Damon ever again. I already promised to help you, didn't I?" I questioned and he pursed his lips before turning away. "What are you talking about? Clara please..."

"I'll be okay. Even though I don't remember him, I can feel the bond and I know he won't hurt me..."

"You just fucking called him a hunter Clara! He hunts Supernatural beings like you! He's probably luring you out just to kill you" Damon argued and he had a solid point but...

"I don't think that's his plan. He..."Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

"Oh for fuck sake Clara! You're pregnant, you shouldn't be involving yourself in matters like this" I could hear the panic in his voice and it made me frown.

"Is Dimitri there? Hand the phone to him" Damon's voice was calm but I knew he was anything but calm at that moment. He was probably pacing around his office.

I slowly handed the phone to Dimitri who immediately pressed the phone against his ear.

"Hello?" Dimitri uttered.

"I don't know how you managed to brainwash Clara but you cannot use her as bait for the hunters, Dimitri. She's pregnant for fuck sake” Damon said and his voice grew louder with each word.

"I'm just trying to help you..."

I had never heard such vulnerability in Damon's voice before. I wanted nothing more than to go back to him and be in his arms forever.

Dimitri stared at me for a while and I could see that I wasn't the only one affected by the sound of Damon's voice.

"I'll bring her back to you safe and sound but that's after the goal has been achieved. We are doing this for you, Damon" Dimitri replied, earning a loud growl from Damon.

"Dimitri!" Damon growled.

What if this really was a trap and my uncle was out to get me?...
