Chapter 90 
–CLARA- 
It didn’t take long for the doctor to rush into the room. Luca grabbed my hand and pulled me to the side so I wouldn’t hinder the doctor’s work and although I knew nothing bad was going to happen to him, I couldn’t help but worry. 
“Why wasn’t he rushed to the hospital immediately? Why did he come here when he knew he was injured?” I questioned and Luca sighed. 
“Delilah told us that you knew about the date being a bait and he got really worried that you won’t forgive or talk to him anymore. He was worrying so much and that’s why he got the slash in the first place. As soon as we got here, I tried taking him to the doctor but he said he wanted to talk to you first and make sure everything was okay. He wouldn’t listen to him so I let him go with the doctor on standby Luca uttered and guilt began eating my soul 
He had not only gotten injured because of me but he had rushed all the way to me despite being injured just to make sure I wasn’t angry at him. He had told me he loved me and I… 
“I’m such a fool” I murmured and Luca sighed. 
“No you’re not and your anger is justified okay? You just need to be patient with Damon because he really loves and cares for you and I can assure you he has never felt this way over anyone beforeand that’s why he is trying his hardest to do right by you. He has always been a loner, the goddess knows how hard I had to fight to get him to let me in even if it was just a little bit. He’s new to these feelings but I can assure you, he never means to hurt you” Luca murmured and I couldn’t help the tears they slid down my cheeks, 
can 

“He couldn’t stop gushing over how perfect your date with him went. When he talked about you, his eyes lit up and I’ve never seen him so happy. I know you love him too, Clara, anyone with eyes can see that so I hope you’ll be able to shower him with as much love as you Luca uttered and I didn’t say anything to him and just kept crying silently, 
Soon after, the doctor was done dressing Damon’s wound and assured us that he was going to wake up soon enough since his wound was almost fully healed. 
After the doctor left, I assured Luca that I could look after Damon and after we argued back and forth for a while, he gave in and left the room but I knew he was right outside the door just in case. 
1 gently got into bed with Damon and I tried watching him throughout the night but soon enough, I fell asleep and I was awoken by someone poking my cheek. 
I slowly opened my eyes and saw Damon peering down at me while puking my cheek with his finger, 
“You’re finally awake. I thought you had died or something” He murmured and i frowned before slapping his hand away and attempting to get out of the bed when he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him. 
“Damon, stop this, you might open up your wound and… 
*Tell me you didn’t mean what you said last night, Clara. You love me, don’t you? You didn’t mean that right?” He murmured and I could hear the plea in his voice which made me smile. 

“Damon…” 
“Clara, please tell me you didn’t mean it. Do you know I fainted not because of the injury but because of what you said? Even while I was unconscious, I couldn’t stop thinking about it” He murmured and I rolled my eyes.

“Now you’re just being dramatic, Darpon” I murmured and he pouted. 
“I’m not my love. You’re not allowed to not love me, you have to love me” He murmured and I scoffed. 
Chapter 50 
“Have to?” And he nodded confidently. 
“There’s no other option. You either love me or love me because I love you and I’m never going to stop loving you: 
you so… 
“Oh shut up” I murmured before pressing my lips to his and I heard him growl with contentment as he deepened the kiss. I 
Soon after, I pulled away and he placed his forehead on mine. 
“Does that mean you love me?” He questioned softly and I giggled. Never in my life did I think I’d see Damon acting like a love sick puppy especially for me. 
“Yes I love you and it’s damn obvious that I do, you’re just blind” I murmured then shrieked when he wrapped his arms tightly around me as he began peppering my face and neck with kisses. 
“You have no idea how happy it makes me to hear that. I’m sorry about everything, Clara but I just want you to know that I will always remember last night as one of the best nights of my life. You have no idea how many times I wanted to tell you I loved you last night. I almost shouted it using the mic” He murmured and I giggled. 
“It’s so weird seeing you like this, Damon. What happened to the jerk, sarcastic and narcissistic Damon I knew?” I questioned jokingly and his expression turned serious but I could see he was trying not to laugh. 
“This side of me is only for your eyes. Not a word of this to anyone or you’ll ruin my reputation” He 
e murmured and I hummed. 
“I don’t know, I kind of want everyone to know that I tamed their big bad Alpha” I uttered. 
“I’m the death Viper, Clara. I doubt anyone will believe you but you can try” He muttered and I raised an eyebrow. Did he just dare me? 
“Is that a challenge?” “I murmured and I watched as his eyes trailed down to my lips. 
“I don’t know, you tell me” He murmured before slamming his lips on mine and it didn’t take long for him to get on top of me. I moaned loudly as he fondled my breast. 
*Shall we continue from where we left off last night?” He questioned and his voice was thick with desire and lust. 
He bent down to kiss me again when I flicked his forehead with my finger. 
He groaned in pain and I managed to escape his grasp and got out of the bed. 
“Why?” He questioned simply and I folded my arms. 
“I’m still mad at you for using our date as bait even though I understand” I murmured and he sighed before sitting up. 
“How can I make it up to you? I’ll do anything” He murmured. 
“Did the plan work? Were you able to catch them?” I questioned softly and his face instantly turned serious. 
“Yes and I’m going to make every last one of 
them pay for disrupting our perfect evening…
