Chasing The Rejected Luna's Heart (Clara and Liam) novel Chapter 155

~DAMON~

“Don’t be mad at me” She murmured as she stared up at me with puppy dog eyes and as much as that had an effect on me, I couldn't let it work this time.

“Why are you so hell bent on getting yourself into trouble? What is your problem, Clara? Can't you see that in trying to protect you?” I said harshly as I gritted my teeth while trying to keep my anger at bay.

“Don’t be mad at me please, I'm just trying to help you…”

“Help me by putting yourself in trouble?! How exactly does that help me, Clara?!” I yelled as I clenched my fist but she didn't say anything.

“Answer me!” I yelled and she immediately began to cry.

“How can I speak when you're yelling at me?” She wailed and my eyes immediately widened.

“Okay I'm sorry, shh that's enough. I'm sorry” I hurriedly said I knelt in front of her and kissed her tears away.

“I don't want you to be mad at me, Damon” She murmured and I sighed.

“I’m not mad…”

“You are, you just yelled at me” She pointed out and I sighed again.

“Shouldn’t I be mad? You are so hellbent on putting yourself in trouble despite how many times I've warned you. I'll take care of everything, you don't have to involve yourself. Why won't you listen to me?” I questioned and she pouted.

“Because I know if worse came to worse, you'd risk your life just to save me and our unborn children and that's the last thing I want, Damon. I cannot live without you and I don't want to” She murmured and my heart immediately softened.

“My love” I whispered before smashing my lips on hers. I couldn't even reassure her because I was in fact ready to sacrifice myself to save her if that's what it came down to. She couldn't begin to phantom how much I was willing to lose just to make sure she was happy and well.

“I already told you that I'm not leaving you, didn't I?” I questioned softly as I pulled away from the kiss then grabbed onto her face and wiped away her tears with my thumbs.

“I don't believe you. You have started keeping things from me ever since this all started. I just want to help, I just want to help share your burden” She explained and I nodded.

“I understand you but the one thing you can do to help me is keeping yourself safe because as long as you're safe, I would be invincible. Please don't try to contact your uncle again, just trust me. Can you do that?” I questioned and she pouted before nodding.

“I guess I can but you have to include me in everything. I have to be sure you're not putting yourself in danger” She uttered and I chuckled.

“I promise and if you still end up contacting your uncle, I'm going to tie you up and you'll be there till our children are ready to come out. If you don't believe me, you're free to test it out” I warned her and she pouted.

“So not only are you yelling at me now but also threatening me?” She questioned and I chuckled.
