Chasing The Rejected Luna's Heart (Clara and Liam) novel Chapter 144

~CLARA~

After talking a bit with With Delilah's parents, Delilah finally took me to the dungeon to see Dimitri.

It saddened me to know how long Dimitri has been here and how Damon had almost killed him when he arrived. After speaking with Dimitri, I had to talk with Damon.

We got to the dungeon and were about to walk in when the guards appeared before us, blocking our way.

“Good day, Luna Clara and Madam Delilah. We have been given strict instructions not to let you in” One of the guards announced which made me frown.

I knew this was Damon's doing and he was sure going to get a slap for this stunt.

“We are here under the Alpha King’s command. Are you really going to defy the Alpha King for Alpha Damon?” Delilah spoke and the guards frowned as they glanced between themselves with confusion.

“It wasn't Alpha Damon that instructed us not to let you in, it was Sir Dimitri. He doesn't want any visitors” The other guard revealed and I frowned. That means Dimitri knew I had arrived but he didn't want to see me?

“Unfortunately for him, I do not care what he wants. Try to stop me and I'll tell my husband that you put your hands on me and you should know how that goes” I threatened the guards as I narrowed my eyes on them and they immediately gave way.

I grabbed Delilah's hand as we walked into the dungeon and she led me towards Dimitri's cage.

As soon as my eyes landed on Dimitri, I couldn't stop the tears from flowing down my cheeks. He had lost a lot of weight and didn't look like the once joyful and Flirty Dimitri that he used to be.

“I knew you were going to cry and that's why I didn't want you coming here, Clara” He murmured softly as he stared at me.

“What the fuck is going on? Have you not been eating? Have they not been treating you right?” I questioned as I held onto the bar.

“They have. He's the one that refused to eat” Delilah explained as she stared at her brother with pity in his eyes.

“Dimitri…”

“I’m glad you're okay. At least now my heart can finally be at peace and Damon's heart as well. He almost went crazy without you” Dimitri muttered with a sad look on his face.

“I’m getting you out of here. Delilah, tell the guards to…”

“I don't want to leave, I want to remain here” He butted in before I could finish my sentence.

“But why?” I questioned softly.

“Because Damon hates me and I'm not ready to face him. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. I'll get over it soon” He tried to assure me but I didn't like the tone of his voice. Not one bit.

“Delilah, can you drive me to Damon's company? I need to talk to him” I told her and she immediately nodded.

“You don't have to talk to him about me, Clara,” Dimitri uttered.

“Well I want to. Just so you know, Damon may be angry but you're still his brother. You have to remember that” I said to him before walking away with Delilah.

Soon enough, we got to the car and Delilah drove to Damon’s company. It has been so long since I went to Damon's company, I had almost forgotten how huge it was and this was just his company within the pack. He had multiple scattered around the continent.
