Chasing The Rejected Luna's Heart (Clara and Liam) novel Chapter 176

~LUCA~

It was dark. I tried moving around but found out my whole body was chained. Where the fuck was I?

I struggled against the chain and tried to scream but suddenly, my mouth felt like it was sewn shut. What the fuck was happening? Where was I?

Just then, I heard Delilah's voice. It was faint but I knew it was her and she was calling my name.

I struggled against the chains only for it to get tighter. The more I struggled, the more it held me tight till I could barely breathe.

“Luca, wake up!” Delilah yelled as she suddenly came into view and my eyes widened. What did she mean to wake up? This felt too real to be a dream.

She suddenly got closer and grabbed onto my face, her eyes frantic.

“Wake up!” She screamed into my face and immediately, I jolted awake.

I sat up straight on the bed immediately, breathing like I had just ran a Marathon.

“Are you okay?” Delilah questioned as she wrapped her arms around me and I honestly didn't know how to answer her.

She took my silence as an answer and her arms tightened around me.

“It’s going to be okay. Those fucking witches, I'm going to end them” She murmured and I cracked a smile before pulling away, just enough that I could see her face.

“You’re not coming with Damon and I” I told her and she frowned.

“Of course I'm coming with both of you. I…”

“Delilah please don't fight me on this. I don't want you getting hurt and I'm sure as hell that Damon and I can protect ourselves from a bunch of witches. Trust me, please? I'll tell you everything when we get back” I murmured before placing a kiss on her lips and she frowned.

“I want to be there for you, Luca” She replied and I smiled.

“Knowing that you and Mia are home waiting for me is more than enough. I just want to get better so I can be the perfect husband and father to both of you” I said as I caressed her face and she sighed.

“When do you leave?” She questioned and before I could answer, we suddenly held Damon yell my name from downstairs.

“Luca, let's fucking go!” He yelled and We heard Clara shush him.

“There's a kid in this house, no cussing” She scolded him and I chuckled before Delilah pulled away fully and we both stood up from the bed.

“I'll check up on Mia and right there with you” She said then placed a kiss on my lips before leaving the room.

I quickly brushed my teeth before going down to meet Damon and Clara. They were seated on the couch… well Damon was seated on the couch while she sat on top of him.

“Good morning” I greeted as I walked up to them and immediately Clara was me, she frowned.

“You look like shit” Damon pointed out, earning a slap on the chest from Clara.
