Chasing The Rejected Luna's Heart (Clara and Liam) novel Chapter 126

~CLARA~

“What do you think? Do you think this is good enough for the date? I want Luca to drop dead when he sees me. Are you listening to me, Clara?” I could hear Delilah's voice but couldn't make out what she was saying.

By my calculations, the poison Aurora had given Damon's mother must have taken effect and if that's the case then I was about to get in serious trouble.

“Clara, you're not listening to me” Delilah said then stomped her foot in the ground like a child, snapping me out of my thoughts.

“I’m sorry, I have a lot on my mind. This suits you” I told her and she frowned as she sat down next to me on the bench.

“Are you okay? You've been spacing out since we got here? Do you have something on your mind? Did Damon do anything?” She questioned with worry in her tone. I shook my head then flashed her a small smile.

“It’s nothing serious, I'm just a little bit tired and my stomach hurts from all the food we ate earlier” It wasn't a total lie, we have been walking around for hours now and my feet were killing me.

“Yeah you ate a lot earlier. If I didn't know better, I'd think you were pregnant” She voiced and my body tensed up immediately.

I let out an awkward laugh before deviating the topic and it seemed Delilah hadn't noticed anything.

We shopped a little longer then left the shop and while in the car, Delilah got a call from Luca.

“Hello baby, you miss me?” She said into the phone but immediately frowned after Luca let out a sigh.

“Your mother was rushed to the hospital, Delilah. Your father said her heart stopped” He informed her and Delilah gasped as tears immediately began to stream down her cheeks.

“What? When? Why? What's going on?” She questioned in between tears and I grabbed onto her hand to calm her down.

Luca tried calming her down and after a while, she ended the call and I immediately pulled her into her hug then told the driver to drive down to the hospital instead.

“I won't be able to bear it if mom died, Clara. I don't want her to die” She cried into my chest and I sighed but said nothing.

There was a little bit of traffic but soon enough, we got to the hospital and my nerves were eating me up as we were directed to where they were.

I knew it was about to get messy but there was no other way.

I could see them as we walked down the hall, Delilah immediately ran to hug her father while I just stood there with my eyes glued on Damon who stared back at me with an expression I couldn't read.

“What is she doing here?” Aurora was the first to speak up and I turned to her with a frown.

“Aurora…” Dimitri began but she immediately interrupted him.

“What? It's her fault your mother is currently fighting for her life and with the way things are going, she might not make it. Clara killed your mother” As soon as she said that, the Alpha King punched the wall then let out a menacing growl before turning to me.

My eyes widened as I took a step back out of fear. His eyes had turned red and I knew at that moment, his wolf was in control and he wanted me dead for hurting his mate.

The Alpha King tried lunging at me but Damon immediately stood up and placed his plan on his chest to stop him from coming to me.

“Get out of my way, Damon” The Alpha King growled while staring directly at me.

“Touch my wife and I will end you regardless of who you are. Sit down and let me deal with my wife” Damon uttered but the Alpha King didn't seem like he wanted to back down.

“Damon…”

“I will talk to her. Sit down and don't cause a scene while mother is fighting for her life. Leave my wife to me” Damon told him and after a while, the Alpha King's eyes returned back to normal and he glared at me before going back to his seat.

“I don't understand what's going on, why are you blaming Clara for what happened to mother?” Delilah questioned as she glanced around with confusion etched on her face but I wasn't looking at her but at Damon as he approached me.

“Damon…”

“Is this yours?” He interrupted my words as he showed me the small container I used to contain medicine.
