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



-CLARA-

After what my uncle told me, I haven't been able to stop crying. My parents' love story was so tragic that it made me tear up anytime I thought about it.

Not only about them but because I missed Damon so much and my emotions were all over the place because of my hormones. I felt so hopeless here and didn't know exactly how I was going to escape.

My uncle came to check up on me every hour with food and books to keep me company. I was being kept away like a prisoner which made me wonder if the hunters had really agreed to let me join them.

Either way, I had to stop crying now and find a way to get to Damon, at least to let him know that I was okay.

I bathed then got dressed and ate the breakfast my uncle had left for me this morning as I waited for him to visit again like he always did.

After an hour, I heard a knock and immediately knew it was him. I cleaned my mouth as I stood up from the bed and walked over to the door.

As soon as he opened the door, his eyes widened with surprise when he saw that I was up from my bed.

"I need to speak with Damon" I said before he could get a word out and he sighed.

"You can't, Clara. Everything will be over soon, I promise" He uttered and I hated when he said things like this because I knew it only meant one thing. He was going to hurt Damon.

"You don't understand, uncle. If you truly care about me then you're going to let me talk to him. I promise I won't tell him anything, just let me talk to him" I explained and he stared at me for a while and shook his head.

"That's not a good idea. Besides, I don't have his number or a way to reach him and..."

"I Know Damon's number by heart. If you'll just let me..."

"I said no, Clara. I've already been queried enough because I let you stay here. If they hear I let you speak with the enemy, I might as well give up my position" He muttered and I frowned. "But I am the enemy!"

"We have been over this, Clara! You're their leader, not an enemy. They just need time to adjust. to the thought of you and after that, I'll introduce you to them" He explained and I scoffed.

"So what? I'm going to stay here till they finally accept me? What if it takes months, years?" I questioned and he sighed.

"Clara..."

"I'm pregnant for Damon and that means we are about to start a family. Do you know how long I've wished to have a family? I cannot stay here, I need to be with Damon so please uncle" I pleaded, not knowing what else to do.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

I didn't even know where we were since I hadn't left this room since I arrived. I didn't know what lies beyond this room.

"Rest up, I'll come visit you later" He uttered after a while and I glared at him.

"I'm trying my possible best not to hate you but you're making it very difficult not to. I don't care if you think you're doing this for my sake, I want to speak with my husband" I told him and watched as a frown adorned his face with a sad look in his eyes.

He opened his mouth to say something but I held up my hand to stop him as I glanced at the door.

"Someone is coming" As soon as I said that, there was a frantic knock on the door.

My uncle glanced at me briefly before opening the door to reveal a shorter but bulky man with a missing tooth.

"There's a situation! That Alpha Bastard has lost his mind!" The man exclaimed and behind the anger in his eyes was fear.

"Which Alpha Bastard?" My uncle questioned but I didn't need to be told to know it was Damon. He was the only one that could shake up such an organization.

"You need to see it with your own eyes, boss" The other man uttered and my uncle nodded then turned to me but before he could speak, I spoke.

"This is about my husband, isn't it? If yes then I'm going with you to see what the situation is" I told him and he sighed.

"Clara, they..."

"You said I was their leader, didn't you? Then they'll have to accept me sooner or later and I choose sooner. Are we going or not?" I questioned and I glanced by between the two men, not missing the scornful look on the other man's face as he stared at me.

"We need to hurry" The man muttered then walked away and before my uncle could say anything, I ran out of the room, following the man from behind.

Not long after, I heard my uncle's footsteps fall in behind me.

It took some minutes for us to get to where we were going. This only made me notice how where I was being kept was secluded from everyone else which made me think of that was the house my father and mother had stayed in as well in the past.

I shook off that thought as we got to a building. As we walked in, I could feel all eyes on me. I could feel their bitterness, anger, hate, disgust amongst other emotions radiating off them as I walked by but I didn't let any of them affect me. I needed to know what was wrong with Damon. "You are finally here, that.." An elderly man spoke but halted and narrowed his eyes as soon as he saw me.

"What is she doing here?" He questioned but I didn't even wait for what my uncle would say before walking past the man as my eyes were glued on the screen behind him.

There on the computer screen was Damon, he was covered in blood and the look in his eyes was something I had never seen before.

He was sitting down on the hood of his car while holding onto a head. I couldn't see what he was doing clearly but it felt like he was waiting. Waiting for what?

As if on cue, he looked up and I gasped when our eyes connected. I knew he couldn't see me but at that moment, it felt like he could.

"I don't know how he managed to find the cameras we put up around the city. He has damaged all of them but left this one. He wants us to see him" The elderly man explained and I let the tears roll down my cheeks as I took in his appearance.

The warmth, the light, the life was gone from his eyes. It almost felt like I was staring at someone else and it broke my heart.

"Because he's trying to send a message. That bastard!" My uncle muttered angrily as we all stared at the screen.

"You said you knew his number by heart right? I'm going to need you to tell me that number so I can talk to him" My uncle said as he turned to me and I reluctantly tore my eyes away from the screen to stare at him.

I didn't even need to agree before a phone was shoved into my hands. I wanted to hear Damon's voice so I didn't even hesitate to input his number.

As soon as I was done, my uncle snatched the phone out of my grip and I turned back to the screen. My uncle dialed the number and I walked as Damon pulled out his phone and with a smirk, he pressed the phone against his ear.

"Are you tired of playing hide and seck, Rogers?" My heart skipped a beat when I heard Damon's voice. Even his voice sounded unfamiliar.

"If you had my number, why didn't you just call instead of showing us what kind of a monster you are? Those are innocent people you bastard!" My uncle angrily held into the phone and a chill ran down my spine when Damon chuckled humorlessly.

"You of all people should know I don't give a damn about who's innocent or not. I want my wife back" Damon muttered and his voice faltered slightly but I was sure I was the only one who noticed.

"Over my dead body. A monster like you doesn't deserve someone like her. I will never let you take her" My uncle replied with a stern look on his face as he stared at the screen. Damon chuckled again and from the screen, I could see Luca leading a woman towards Damon.

"Suit yourself but just know that with every second you waste..." I gasped when he stuck his hand into the woman's chest and yanked out her heart. "Another human dies. If I have to kill every bloody human here to get to my wife then so be it. Time is ticking and you know I don't fucking bluff"...
