Chasing The Rejected Luna's Heart (Clara and Liam) novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5 

“And then he walked out on me. Who does that to their mate?” I grumbled to Aunt Amelia. 

“Are you sure he’s your mate?” She questioned and I nodded. 

“Yes but he’s a total jerk, Aunt Amelia. The moon goddess couldn’t just cut me some slack this once I muttered then pouted and she giggled. 

“He can’t be that bad. Maybe he was having a bad day” She uttered and I scoffed. 

“That’s his business. If I see him again, I’ll reject his sorry ass” 1 murmured and she sighed. 

“But you did puke on him though, maybe that was why he reacted that way” She tried to find excuses but I had seen the way he had looked. like me. Like I was just a nuisance.. 

“I don’t care, I don’t want him” I muttered and before Aunt Amelia could say anything, we heard a knock on the door. 

“Come in” I uttered and a frown appeared on my face when Liam walked into the room with Veronica behind him and it seemed like she had been crying. 

“Clara, Veronica is here to apologize” He murmured and I signed. Apparently, last night while I ran away, Aunt Amelia and her friends had stepped forward and testified that I didn’t push Veronica and after a while, Veronica ended up admitting the truth. 

“I don’t need her apology” I murmured as I got up from the bed. 

“Let’s go down for lunch, Aunt Amelia” I murmured and was about to walk away when Liam grabbed my arm. 

“Why are you being stubborn? She just wants to apologize to you” I stared at him for a while then yanked my hand out of his grip. 

“Her apology means nothing to me because she means nothing to me. I need an apology from you, Liam. We were together for four years, yet you chose to believe her over me? I don’t know what I expected but it wasn’t that I murmured then walked away before he could stop 

1. me. 

As we walked down the stairs, Aunt Amella turned to me. 

“Even if everyone is against you, I’ll be on your side okay?” She murmured and I smiled because I was really grateful for her. 

We were the f 

We were the first ones to get to the dining table and I didn’t bother going to sit next to Ljam, I just sat down next to Aunt Amelia, 

I planned on leaving today so this would be? 

last meal with all of them. 

Liam’s mother, uncle’s and cousins came in second before Liam and Veronica walked in. She still looked like she had been crying and it seemed Liam was trying to comfort her which made me scoff. 

I had been the one humiliated and there she was shedding fake tears. 

“Why are you crying honey? Did something happen?” Liam’s mother questioned and immediately, Veronica’s eyes turned to me then she quickly averted it but everyone had seen it. 

Liam’s mother turned to me with a stern look on her face.

Chapter 5 

“Did you do something to my daughter in law?” His mother questioned and when I didn’t answer, she banged her fist on the table as she 

stood up. 

“Mother, calm down. Clara didn’t…” 

“No, I’m tired of you giving excuses for her. Who do you think you are? You have no right to hurt or make my dear daughter in law cry because you’re nobody. If my husband hadn’t been so kind hearted, you wouldn’t even be here so know your place” She screamed and everyone was quiet as they stared between both of us but I kept a calm expression on my face even though I was reeling with anger and sadness from within. 

I turned to Liam and he didn’t even say anything in my favor. That meant they all felt the same way, right? 

“Are you done?” I uttered as I stood up from my seat. 

“You!…” 

“As I matter of fact, I know my place and I’ve always known my place and how I sole dearly regret spending any of my time with a family like this and especially with you, Liam. May you all have a good life and I hope your wickedness and vileness don’t catch up to you in the future and before you waste your breath, let me do it for you. I, Clara, reject Alpha Liam Knight as my chosen mate” I muttered with my voice heavy with tears and a pain sliced through me but the pain in my heart was heavier. 

“Clara…” Liam began but before he could finish his sentence, I ran out of there as quickly as I could without turning back. 

I didn’t know if anyone was running after me and quite frankly, I didn’t care. I just need to get away as soon as possible. 

I ran towards the garden and when I was sure no one was following behind me,l crashed on the bench and cried my eyes out. Was it wrong that I actually wanted him to run after me? Apologize and tell me the last four years we spent together wasn’t a joke? That he loved me more than anything? 

“You are such a big fool, Clara. How dare you think you can find a place in a family that isn’t yours? How dare you think that you can be with a man that isn’t yours? How dare you think that you can be happy? You’re such a fool” I murmured as I cried bitterly. Why did this have to hurt so much? He wasn’t even worthy of my tears. 

Suddenly, an embroidered handkerchief was placed in front of my face which made me frown. I slowly looked up and my eyes widened. 

“Ma… Mate?” I questioned out of confusion. What was he doing here? 

“I know what can make you feel better, Let’s get married“..
