Chasing The Rejected Luna's Heart (Clara and Liam) novel Chapter 178

~LUCA~

“That’s bullshit. Don't believe any word that comes out of that witch's mouth. They just want to use you” Damon uttered after a while of silence while I just frowned.

“You may choose to believe what you want but I speak nothing but the truth. This is your destiny, Luca” She said and I glared at her.

“It’s not my destiny and I don't bloody care if my mother or ancestors were vessels for the witches. That has nothing to do with me…”

“It had everything to do with you, Luca. With your offspring as well. Even if you insist you don't want to be a vessel anymore, the ancestors already chose you” She informed before her eyes trailed to my neck.

“Bloody hell, what is that?” Damon questioned as he stared at my neck and I furrowed my eyebrows before walking towards a mirror only to see a big black witch star on my neck.

“What the fuck is this?” I questioned as I tried rubbing it off.

“It’s a mark from our ancestors. Your mother has passed on her mark to you…”

“I don't bloody want it! Can't you fucking understand that?! I'm an Alpha now, a father, a husband, I have duties! Get it off me before I snap your neck in half” I growled as I stalked slowly towards her and she frowned.

“I don't have the power to remove the ancestor's mark, Luca. This is a gift and once you conquer the voices, you'll be the best version of yourself. You'll be able to fulfil whatever duties you have and so much more” She looked straight into my eyes as she spoke.

“I don't want it. You just fucking said my mother died before she could conquer the voices. What makes you think I can do it then?” I questioned through clenched teeth.

“Because you're stronger than your mother ever was. You will succeed as long as you let us help you. With your level of power, you should be able to conquer the voices in one to two years. During that period, you can stay here and…” I immediately started laughing and she paused mid sentence.

“Now I see you must be losing your damn mind. I should leave my family, my pack and come stay with the witches? You're really starting to piss me off with your nonsense” I muttered and she frowned.

“It’s the only way and that's why your mother left you in the first place. Unfortunately, she couldn't succeed but you will, I believe you will…”

“I am not leaving my family” I growled in my face.

“It’s safer for your family if you're not close to them, Luca. Trust me on this. Very soon, the voices will start making you do things and if we are not there to help you, you may end up killing someone” She informed me and I scoffed.
