Chasing The Rejected Luna's Heart (Clara and Liam) novel Chapter 146

~DIMITRI~

I didn't know how to react when I felt Damon’s presence in the dungeon. I had hoped I was mistaken but I knew I wasn't, there was no mistaking his aura.

Damon and I haven't seen eye to eye since the day he beat me up and had me thrown into the dungeon. I should have known Clara was the only one that could convince him to come here.

The guards opened up the cell bars and placed a chair in my cell for him. Damon took a seat and as soon as he disappeared, we let the silence settle down on us.

“You look like ass” He was the first to speak which shocked me. I stared at him with wide eyes then let out a light chuckle.

“When guilt keeps eating me up, it's hard to think about myself” I explained to him and we went quiet again. What could I say? Apologize? Knowing Damon, that would just piss him off more.

“Why didn't you tell me the truth about Aurora? All this while, you let me believe that she was right and you weren't. Why?” He questioned and although I knew this question was coming, it still shocked me that he was the one initiating a conversation.

The Damon I knew would just sit there and stare into my eyes till I broke down due to his intimidating Aura but at that moment, he wasn't trying to intimidate me.

He seemed like he just genuinely wanted to talk.

“I loved Aurora despite how fucked up she was. Despite that, I felt like you genuinely cared about her and didn't want to ruin that. You hardly talked or associated yourself with others then. Luca, Aurora and I were the only ones you really talked to. No matter what you think now, she was once your friend and I didn't want to take that away from you. I know that was wrong now, I really thought she could change but she just got worse” I told him and he just stared at me with his lips pursed.

“That’s no excuse” He uttered simply and I flinched because of the harshness In his tone.

“I also felt you wouldn't believe me. Everyone saw Aurora as an Angel, including you” I added and he frowned.

“According to what I heard, you had proof yet you didn't tell me. You appear to always have my best interest at heart yet you kept it away from me because of your selfish reasons. You thought you could make her love you if you kept her secret, right?” He questioned and I frowned.

“Damon…”
