Chasing The Rejected Luna's Heart (Clara and Liam) novel Chapter 158

~DAMON~

“What do you mean leaving?” She questioned as she got closer and stared into my eyes.

“Clara…”

“Don’t you dare Clara me. You always do this to me! Push me away when things get rough! I thought we were a team!” She screamed as tears rolled down her cheeks and I sighed then tried to reach out for her but she moved away.

“Why are you making things difficult, Clara? You know that things are getting rough. I mean you're getting targeted now. I cannot risk you getting hurt” I tried to explain to her but I could already see the stubborn line on her forehead.

“I can take care of myself by your side” She argued and I smiled.

“I don't doubt that but I won't risk your safety and especially not our children's safety” I told her and she frowned.

“Damon…”

“There’s no room for argument, Clara. I've already made up my mind so prepare to leave tonight” I said to her with finality in my voice and she pouted.

“You don't get to decide for me. I'm not leaving, you cannot make me” She uttered stubbornly and I sighed.

“Leave, I want to speak to my wife alone” I told everyone without taking my eyes off Clara.

As soon as everyone was gone, I grabbed onto her face just as she broke out sobbing.

“You always do this to me. Why?” She muttered as she cried on my chest and my heart broke seeing her this way but no matter how much I wanted to keep her by my side, it was obvious I couldn't because I couldn't fight and keep her safe at the same time.

“Please understand where I'm coming from, my love. I just want to protect you” I murmured and she frowned.

“Then who's going to protect you?” She questioned and my heart broke when I heard the crack in her voice.

I couldn't help placing a soft kiss on her lips.

“I won't die without seeing our children, Clara. Plus, I can't stand the idea of being away from you so I'll make sure I don't get killed and when everything is done and over with, I'll come get you and we'll go far away for a while. Just the two of us, doesn't that sound good?” I questioned softly and she nodded.

“It sounds like a dream” She replied and I smiled.

“It will be a reality soon enough” I replied before placing a kiss on the tip of her nose.

“Where am I going?” She questioned after I pulled away and I heaved a sigh of relief knowing I had finally gotten to her.

“It’s a place that only Luca and I know about. We'll be the ones to drop you off tonight” I told her and she sighed.

“How long do I have to stay without you?” She questioned and I smiled.

“I’ll make sure I end this quickly so I can run back to you as fast as I can” I murmured and she sighed. Before grabbing the rim of my pants.

“Make love to me before we leave” She stated and I grinned.
