Chapter 63
-DAMON-
I immediately reached forward and wiped away Clara’s tears with my thumb and luckily, she didn’t push me away this time.
“You don’t know how much I’ve wanted a baby, Damon. And to think I was pregnant all along and I had no f**g idea. If I knew, I would have protected our baby with my life” She murmured softly then slowly caressed her stomach and the fact that she called it ours made me

I grabbed onto her hand and placed a kiss on her palm.
can’t blame yourself, Clara. You’ll blame the one that made you think you were barren but don’t worry, I’ll take care of that” ! murmured then reached out and was about to place a strand of hair that had fallen on her face behind her ear but she slapped my hand
“I’ve not forgiven you and quite frankly I don’t know if I can. You hurt me, Damon. I wanted you, I needed you by my side when everyone was against me but you turned your back on me and now you expect me to come running back into your arms because I’m in a vulnerable state? I’m sorry but that’s not going to happen” She muttered and I sighed.
“I don’t expect you to forgive me so easily and we are mourning the loss of our child together whether you like it or not because I’m not leaving your side. I can’t bear to leave your side again. You have no freaking idea how those days without you have been, I don’t know what the hell you did to me Clara but whatever you did has made me obsessed with you. I can’t breathe without you” I confessed because! couldn’t hold it back anymore.
My emotions were all over the place at that moment and I wanted her to know how I felt about her,
“I’m ready to take this seriously, Clara” I murmured and her eyes widened.
“Take… take what seriously?” She questioned softly and I smiled before grabbing onto her hand.

gather in her eyes.
“But…
“No buts, there’s nothing to think about. Why do I have to let go of you? You’re mine under t the law of the moon goddess by birth. You’re destined to be mine so I’m not letting you go” I murmured then caressed her cheek before leaning in and kissing away her tears before placing a kiss on the tip of her nose.
“I’ll give you tonight to consider if you want to be mine or not” I murmured before pulling away and standing up.
“And what if I don’t want to continue? What then?” She questioned before I could walk away and I smiled.
“You’ll just have to reconsider because I’m not taking no for a when she grabbed onto my hand.

Rest up, okay?” I murmured and was about to walk away

“You said you weren’t going to leave” She murmured softly and I smiled.
“I have something to take care of. I promise to be back before you wake up, okay?” I murmured and could see her eyes were drooping already.
“Okay” She murmured before slowly letting go of my h then I walked out of the room.

“Are you done?” Delilah immediately questioned as I walked out of the room.
ming with us, Delilah” I murmured and she immediately jumped up.
“We are headed down to Liam’s pack and you’re coming wi
“Now that’s what I like to hear. Let’s go” She murmured and at that moment, my parents were walking back towards us.
“Are you going somewhere?” My mother questioned and Luca glanced at Delilah and I before nodding
“We have something to take care of” He murmured then bowed his head.

“I’m leaving Clara in your care, mother. If anything happens, call me immediately” I murmured and her eyes widened. She clearly didn’t expect me to entrust Clara’s safety to her but I figured there was no use being angry at her anymore. We had all made mistakes and how did I expect Clara to forgive me if I didn’t forgive others?
“We’ll be back before midnight” I murmured then curtly nodded at both of them before waking away. Delilah and Luca immediately caught up with me and we got into the car immediately.
“Should I inform Liam’s pack about your arrival?” Luca questioned and I shook my head.
“I’d like it to be a surprise, Gather some of our men and order them to wait at the warehouse” I ordered.
“Copied Alpha” He muttered and the car was quiet for a while till Delilah cleared her throat.
“So when was anyone going to tell me that your marriage with Clara was just a contract so you could get the Alpha King title?” She uttered and my eyes widened as I turned to her.
“Clara told you?” questioned and she scoffed.
“Not directly. When you sent the divorce papers, she said something about a contract and she wasn’t supposed to catch feelings so I put two and two together. No wonder you were being so heartless” Delilah muttered and I glared at her.
“Shut up, you don’t know anything about my relationship with Clara. Besides, I want to make it official now, I don’t want our marriage to be based on a contract anymore As soon as I said that the car came to an abrupt stop and Luca turned to me with wide eyes.
“Are my ears deceiving me? Did you just say what I think I heard you say?” He uttered and I glared at him.
“F** start the car. I have to be back in time before Clara wakes up” I muttered and he hurriedly started the car then drove off but I could see the smile on his face.
“But you do know you being with Clara is always going to put her in harm’s way, right? You have countless enemies, Damon and they have been searching for a weak point for years. She’s becoming your weak point” Delilah uttered and I frowned. Did she think I didn’t know that? Heck that’s why I never wanted to be close to Clara in the first place.
“I’ll protect her” I muttered and she scoffed.
“That man that almost killed her was sent to her because of you. Today just shows that you cannot always protect her, Damon. You are known as a one man squad but if this continues, one of you might get killed” Delilah pointed out the fear we all had.
“I will protect her” I murmured and she sighed.
“Daman..”
“I’m not f**g giving her up! I’ve never felt this way about anyone before, Delilah and now you’re asking me to give her up because of fear? I’ve never been afraid of anyone and if they so much as dare touch a hair on her head again, I’ll show the world once again who death Viper is! I muttered menacingly and that immediately shut Delilah up.

“What are you going to do about the Lakeview pack? Are you going to attack them?” Luca questioned and i shook my head.
“You said they are from the south right?” I asked and he nodded slowly.
“Yeah”
“Then the whole south has gone
against me and they shall pay dearly for it. The whole world will know that
Clara is not to be messed with after I’m done with them”…
