Chasing The Rejected Luna's Heart (Clara and Liam) novel Chapter 53

Chapter 53
DAMON-
“The equilibrium between the leaders of the east, south and west is almost non-existent. The leaders have begun fighting dominance. How do you provide a solution for this?” My father uttered as he sat in front of my table and I sighed. He has been trying his best to teach me so I’ll accept the Alpha king title earlier and at first I didn’t mind it but it was becoming a pain in the a**
Especially when I was counting down the hours before I could be with Clara again.
“So they are fighting for power?” I questioned and he nodded.
tboard the leader of the southern wolves is trying to conquer the west and would move to the east soon” My father uttered and I sighed.
“There is one supreme leader and that is us which gives us the power to remove any leader that doesn’t want to abide by the rules of our ancestors. A warning letter should be sent to them and if they still want to fight for dominance then they should be removed with immediate effect and no one from their lineage can assume that position ever” I uttered and he smiled.
“Good son but what if they stage a fight against the north which is us?” He questioned and I scoffed.
-Staging a war against us is like a death sentence but if they still wish to then they are free to lead the battle myself” I muttered and he
stared at me for a while then smiled.
“Spoken like a true Donovan. Luca will carry out your orders and your letters will be sent to the leaders” My father uttered and I raised an
eyebrow.
“They won’t listen to me. I don’t…” Before I could complete my sentence, he placed his seal on my table and my eyes widened. This was the Alpha king’s seal.
“Why are you giving me this?” I questioned and he smiled.
“Because you have earned it son. I may not agree with most things you do in your personal life but when it comes down to business, you get the work down without emotions. A true Alpha King should be able to pass down true and just orders and you have given me more reason to believe you’re right for the role. Keep the deal, it will be yours anyway. I’ll go attend to your mother now before she gets angry” He muttered then walked out of the room before I could utter a word.
Luca, who had been standing beside me, took a seat on the couch with a low whistle.
-Your father really wants you to assume the role of the Alpha King” Luca uttered and I sighed.
“He’s doing it for selfish reasons. Like he said, he wants to travel the world with my mother and offload all his work on me” I muttered and
Luca sighed.
“Either way, you’re not going to be able to push it off for too long. He’s going to start getting suspicious” He uttered and I sighed because! knew he was right.
“If you want Clara by your side, why can’t you guys just go against the contract and be with one another? Why must you get rid of her?”
Luca murmured and I turned to him.
“Even if I wanted to keep her, I can’t. The entire wolf race is against me becoming Alpha King but they can’t do anything because they can’t bring me down because I have no weakness but if Clara becomes my weakness and they find out…”
“You are afraid they’ll use her against you” He finished and I sighed.
“I’m afraid she’ll get hurt and she ju
e just wants to
to live a normal life and I’m going to grant her that. No one deserves to live in a life of fear,

especially her. I know how to handle things when I’m on my own, I can’t bring her into this. I have too many enemies and I know my family can take care of themselves but Clara can’t I murmured and at that minute, my phone rang
A smile slowly appeared on her face as I saw the caller ID. Speaking of the devil
“Missed me already, little devil?” I murmured into the phone and she sighed.
“Yes” Her confirmation made my heart skip a beat. I loved the fact that she was so open about her feelings.
“Do you want me to pick you up? I’m done with work now” I murmured and Luca eyes widened before he glanced down at the tons of work on my desk
“No, Jason and Job volunteered to take me home” She uttered and I frowned.
“If you dare get into their car, I’ll burn down their house. Wait for me, I’m on my way” I ended the call before she could say anything and stood up from my chair,
“You need to review those papers today, Alpha. You…”
“Bring them to Clara’s house. I’ll do it there” I murmured and his eyes widened.
“Wait, you’re staying over at her house? Didn’t you guys just settle yesterday?” He questioned and I raised an eyebrow.
“So? Do as I say” I muttered before picking up my phone and walking out of the office.
I got out o
of the company and got into my car.
“Where to sir?” The driver questioned.
“My wife’s shop” I uttered and immediately started the car and drove away.
Soon after, we got to the shop and I found Clara standing outside. She was frowning down at her phone and I really wondered why.
As if she felt my eyes on her, she raised up her head and a beautiful smile immediately adorned her face.
She immediately came running towards the car before it stopped.
“You took forever, I almost went with Jason and Job” She teased and I frowned.
“You really want me to hurt those two, don’t you?” I muttered with a deadpan expression and she giggled then turned around and got into the car.
“Let’s go home?” She questioned and I shook my head.
“That isn’t home” I muttered and she rolled her
eyes.
“Let’s po” She murmured and I nodded at the driver who immediately started the car and drove away.
“Why were you frowning at your phone carer?” I questioned and she shook her head with a smile.
“Don’t worry about it” She murmured then moved closer to me and I wrapped my arms around her with a frown
There was definitely something she was hiding and I was going to get to the bottom of it..
