Chasing The Rejected Luna's Heart (Clara and Liam) novel Chapter 109

Chapter 109
~CLARA-
I reluctantly let Alicia inside the room after watching her cry for over a minute. We walked towards the table and sat there in silence for a while before she spoke;
“My life has always been centered around Damon. Did you know he saved me from some rogues while we were younger?” She questioned and 1 shook my head.
“Damon and I don’t talk about you” I murmured and I knew my words were insensitive because she was already in a depressed mood but !
needed her to know her place.
Surprisingly, she just smiled sadly.
“Yeah I didn’t expect him to. Damon wasn’t really one to show or talk about how he felt but I understood him and I still do” She murmured and I sighed.
“What do you want, Alicia?” I questioned and she pursed her lips then turned to me.
“I’m dying” She uttered and I scoffed.
“You can’t be serious right now. See if this is your way of trying to trick me…”
“I’m not trying to trick you, Clara. Why do you think I came back in the first place? When I left, Damon asked me never to come back all the pack members had already mourned my death and I really wasn’t going to come back but then I caught a very rare disease that has no cure and now, I have just some weeks or a month to live. As A healer, I tried everything and anything to heal myself but I still don’t know what! have so I don’t know what to do about it. All I can do is relieve myself of the pain” She murmured and I frowned.
Could she really be telling the truth?
As if she knew I was doubting her, she raised up her shirt and I gasped when I saw the dark glaring marks on her stomach.
“It used to be just a dot but it’s spreading rapidly now. When it reaches my heart, I’ll die” She murmured and I frowned.
So she was telling the truth after all.
“What do you want from Damon?” I questioned after a while and she smiled sadly.
“Every night, I would sit out and stare at the sky, thinking of how it would be to feel loved and be taken care of by Damon. I know I can’t ask him to love me anymore since he obviously loves you now but can he take care of me at least till I die?” She questioned and my frown deepened.
Even though I felt pity towards her, I still didn’t trust her in the slightest. Hell she had tried to insinuate that I poisoned her.
“I know we didn’t get off on good terms but this is all I ask of you. I just want his company, I just want my best friend back” She murmured and immediately began to cry.
I sat there, shifting uncomfortably before placing my hand on her back.
“That’s okay, I’ll speak with Damon” I murmured and she immediately stopped crying as she turned to me with wide eyes.
“Seriously? Thank you so much!” She shrieked then threw her arms around me and hugged me tight.
She left almost immediately while sat there for what felt like hours as I thought over what had just happened. Had I made the right choice

by agreeing to let Damon be with her?
Suddenly, I heard someone walk into the room. I didn’t need to turn around to know that it was Damon. His presence immediately filled up
the room.
I immediately melted into his arms as he wrapped it around my body.
“What are you thinking about? I called for you” He murmured then pressed his nose against my neck.
“I was thinking about you” I murmured and he growled approvingly.
“What a coincidence, I was thinking about you too. I missed you” He murmured as he placed kisses on my neck.
“I missed you more. How was your meeting?” I questioned and he sighed.
“It was insufferable. I wish you went with me, it would have been more fun. Luckily though, we were able to come to an agreement” He murmured and I nodded.
“That’s good to hear” I murmured. We were silent for a while as he basked in each other’s presence and company.
“Something is bothering you” He pointed out and I sighed. He knew me so well.
“Can we talk?” I questioned and I felt his body tense up immediately.
“I don’t like the sound of that” He murmured and I turned around slowly in his arms to stare at his face.
I raised my hand and caressed his face lightly before placing a kiss on his lips.
“Don’t worry, it’s nothing too…” Before I could complete my sentence, he smashed his lips on mine.
He bit my lower lip slightly and as soon as I gasped, he plunged his tongue into my mouth.
I moaned Into his mouth as he gave my breast a little squeeze. Just when he was about to sneak his hand underneath my shirt, I stopped
him.
“Let’s talk first please” I murmured and he sighed. Without saying anything, he picked me up from my seat and took me to the bed before placing me down gently.
Immediately, he sat down next to me and took a hold of my hand.
“What do you want to talk about?” He questioned and I sighed before turning to him.
“It’s about Alicia” I muttered and his eyes immediately darkened.
“What happened? Did she say anything to you?” He questioned and I pursed my lips.
“I want you to continue talking to her” I murmured and he stared at me in shock before it turned to confusion.
“I don’t understand” He uttered and I sighed.
“She’s sick, Damon. She said she has just a couple of weeks or a month to live and she wants you to be by her side to take care of her” I murmured and we were silent for a while.
“Are you sure she’s sick?” He asked softly and I nodded.

“I’m pretty sure she is. Look, I don’t want you near her but I’m willing to sacrifice my sanity over this. If she’s really sick then I wouldn’t mind you taking care of her. After all, she used to be one of the people you cared about… she may still be” I murmured and he grabbed onto my second hand, turning my body to him.
“What I care about is you, not her. I only know how to take care of you” He murmured and I smiled before moving closer to him and placing my hand on his face.
“You don’t have to take care of her then but if she comes to you,do not push her away again. Talk to her with kindness, see her as your
sister” I murmured and his eyes narrowed.
“I don’t like Delilah” He blurted out of nowhere and I giggled.
“Deep down I know you do or you wouldn’t be so protective of her. Treat Alicia like a sister and keep in mind that she’s sick so you can not be rough with her okay?” I murmured and he stared at me so intently, I began to feel self conscious.
“Is there something on my face?” I questioned and was about to wipe my face when he leaned down, placing his head on my shoulder.
“You’re so perfect my love. What am I going to do with you?” He murmured and I smiled.
“Make me your Luna tomorrow” I uttered.
“Done”…
