Chasing The Rejected

Chapter 10 

-CLARA- 

I was used to it. Being teased and scorned was something that wasn’t new to me. Back at Liam’s pack, the only one who had cared for me was Aunt Amelia, Liam and his father who had taken me in and treated me like his daughter. 

The rest of them saw me as trash and I learnt how to let it not bother me the hard way. 

“Sit dear, the food will get cold” Damon’s ever so loving mother uttered with a kind smille and I smiled back at her. Even though I had just 

met his parents, they seemed nice so what happened to Damon? 

The Alpha King was seated at the head of the table so Damon sat down next to him while I sat down beside him. 

“Next time you speak to my wife in that manner, you will be skinned alive and fed to the rogues. I do not tolerate disrespect and won’t take it from the likes of you” Damon uttered as soon as he sat down and I turned to him with wide eyes. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

I hadn’t expected him to defend me, especially against a family member. 

“She…” 

“Apologize now” Damon uttered with so much authority that I sucked in my breath. I noticed everyone at the table seemed to be afraid of him including his own parents. 

The girl pursed her lips then let out a sigh before turning to me. 

“I’m sorry” She muttered through clenched teeth and even though it was clear it wasn’t sincere, I didn’t want to push the matter further so I just smiled. 

Everyone was quiet for a while till Damon’s mother cleared her throat. 

“How about the maids serve our food and in the meantime, we introduce ourselves?” His mother uttered and everyone else nodded in 

agreement except Damon and I. 

I briefly glanced at Damon and he had a bored look on his face. He looked like he’d rather be anywhere else but here. 

At that moment, I couldn’t help admiring his features. I know I had said it earlier but Damon was the epitome of beauty and the Aura he exuded was Dangerous yet Sexy. After observing his parents, I’d say he took over his mother’s features and his Father’s Aura. 

Despite his father being the Alpha King, Damon’s Aura was fighting for Dominance against his and if you’d ask me, I’d say Damon was 

winning. 

Damon suddenly turned to me and I abruptly turned away as my cheeks heated up with embarrassment from being caught staring. He was going to think I was admiring him now! Well… I was but still. 

“So dear, I haven’t formally introduced myself, I’m Agnes and this hunk right here is my husband, Raymond” Damon’s mother who I now know as Agnes, uttered and Damon let out a groan but said nothing. 

I learnt later on that Alicia was the name of the mean girl earlier and she was Damon’s step cousin. Apparently, Damon had a brother and sister but they were currently not around.

They were two aunts and three uncles at the table as well and they all greeted me warmly. 

Damon’s Little cousins were also seated at the table and I couldn’t help but admire how cute they were. The beauty in their genes was very strong because they all looked like Royalty. Despite Alicia’s character, she looked like a goddess and by the way she kept staring at Damon, had a feeling she had a thing for him which almost made me gag 

Yes they were step cousins but still. 

“I noticed earlier that you didn’t tell me your last name. Why?” Alpha King Raymond suddenly asked and everyone immediately went 

silent 

“I never knew my parents. My ex Alpha’s Father was kind enough to take me into his pack but I never assumed their last name” I murmured and Alicia scoffed but didn’t say anything 

“Oh that sounds rough dear but now you have a last name because of my son” Agnes uttered and I smiled slightly at her and was about 

to pick up my spoon and eat because I was literally starving but then the Alpha King spoke again. 

“So you never bothered to find out your origin?” He questioned and I frowned as I turned to him then shook my head. 

“I 

I never thought it was necessary,” I murmured. 

“How old were you when you were taken in by the crescent moon pack?” He questioned. 

“At the age of Six” I murmured and he raised an eyebrow. 

“And you don’t remember your last name? Not even where you’re from?” He urged and a bile suddenly began rising up my throat. 

my answer. 

I shook my head slightly but he seemed dissatisfied by my 

“Surely, you… 

“Drop it, old man. She doesn’t answer to you, she’s my wife” Damon suddenly uttered, turning everyone’s attention to him and at that moment, I was grateful for him. 

Luckily, the Alpha King stopped asking me questions and the dinner went on with a lot of chattering and questions being thrown around. 

“So tell me Clara, how was your first interaction? What happened when you both found out you were mates?” Agnes questioned and I turned to Damon who was staring down at his food with disinterest. 

I contemplated telling them the real story just for laughs but I suddenly got a better idea. 

“Damon fell in love with me at first sight I murmured and everyone gasped while Damon turned to me with a raised eyebrow but said nothing 

“But he said he was going to reject you” The Alpha King uttered and I glared at Damon. So he had really wanted to reject me at first sight 

“Ahhh…………. yes but that’s because he felt I was too good for him. He felt he couldn’t give me the love I deserved but he just couldn’t stay away and here we are lon’t that right, hubby?” i murmured then fluttered my eyelashes innocently at Damon and an amused smile appeared on 

his face. 

“How I remember it is you falling to your knees and begging me not to reject you” He murmured and my eyes widened.

“You…

*Clara really needs to rest. As you can see, she’s starting to daydream and might be losing her mind so you all should leave so we can go to bed” Damon uttered as he pushed his chair backwards then stood up. 

“I know why you’re so eager to get rid of us, Damon. Don’t worry, we’ll get out of your hair” One of Damon’s uncle’s finally uttered then 

winked at both of us and that’s when I noticed the light pink tint on Agnes‘ cheeks. 

“Oh don’t tease them. It’s their wedding night after all. They need to start planning for an heir. Isn’t that right honey?” Agnes uttered and I gasped before turning to Damon with wide eyes and his expression mirrored mine. 

Planning for an heir?!…
