We both stood there staring at each other for a while till I cleared my throat and smiled to clear the tension but the dead look in her eyes
still remained.
“Oh you’re here” I murmured as I walked closer to her but she just took a step backwards which made me frown.
“You don’t have to be afraid of me, I would never hurt you” I murmured.
“I’m not afraid of you. I just abhor hate for you and your husband” She uttered honestly and I sighed.
“I know what my husband did was wrong and I share my condolences to you but your father did try to kill me” i murmured and she
scoffed.
“He killed my mother in cold blood” She muttered through clenched teeth and I frowned,
“Because of your father’s ambush, I lost my child and…”
“I lost my mother at a very long age! I didn’t get to experience the love of a mother and my brothers had to raise me up themselves and mind you, they were still kids. We had to watch our father lose his mind and wallow in agony from losing my mother and we could do absolutely nothing about it. Don’t try to justify what your husband did because he has ruined a lot of lives and if I have any say, you losing your child is just his karma” She muttered then wiped away her tears hardly while I just stared at her.
I never really thought of it that way. I guess when I heard of the things Damon had done, I never really thought about the effect of his actions on others and that was very wrong of me.
“I’m sorry on behalf of my husband and I. He only did what he did because of me so I’m the one you should blame for your father’s death. You can hate me for as long as you want but I can guarantee you that liking me is so much better especially since I already like you. We are about the same age, aren’t we?” I questioned and she scoffed.
“That doesn’t change a thing. So what if we are age mates, I will never like a Donovan” She muttered and I just smiled.
“You have a sharp mouth, I like you” I murmured and she rolled her
eyes.
After seeing she wasn’t in any mood to hold a conversation with me, I let her go and got ready for the day. In order to take my mind off Damon I had to keep myself busy and that was exactly what I did. I kept myself busy by doing anything I could do around the house and pack. I even talked to some pack members who greeted me and regarded me with such high respect. They must have probably heard that Damon slaughtered an Alpha because of me.
Gwen and her brothers stayed close and even though I tried making conversation with them, they answered coldly or didn’t answer at all so I just left them.
I was seated at the pack just enjoying the fresh hair and the sounds of children running and playing around. I couldn’t help but smile even when an empty feeling settled down inside of me.
“You are crying” Gwen pointed out nonchalantly and my eyes widened as I quickly wiped away my tears.
“Oh I’m sorry, this place is kind of depressing. Let’s leave” I muttered as I stood up from the bench and was about to walk away when a little boy ran up to me and wrapped his arms around my leg
“Mama” He murmured while peering up at him and my heart immediately broke. I bent down to caress his hair.

“Are you lost, sweet child?” I questioned but he just stared at me before throwing himself into
my arms.

“Mama” He called again and I couldn’t help but wrap my arms around his tiny little body. What was a child like this going out here all on
his own?
I picked him up in my arms as I glanced around.
“Don’t worry baby, we’re going to find your mama, okay?” I murmured but just before I could take a step forward, a woman that looked like she hadn’t slept or showered for days charged towards me like a raging bull and yanked the child out of my arms roughly.
“What are you trying to do? Are you trying to kidnap my child?!” She yelled so loud that everyone instantly turned to stare at us while the baby immediately started crying,
“He came up to me and
“Kidnapper! You want to take my kid all because you lost yours right?” She yelled again and this time I froze as tears welled up in my eyes. I was trying my best, trying my possible best not to think about it.
“Get out of here or I’ll have your head chopped off Steven, who I now knew as the oldest and the most silent suddenly stood in front of me, blocking my view of the woman.
“Take her back to the car now” He ordered and Nathan and Nate who were fraternal twins immediately led me back to the car with Gwen tailing behind.
I stayed silent as I got into the car while trying my hardest not to let my tears spill because I felt like if I cried, I wouldn’t stop and the only person that could comfort me wasn’t around.
Some seconds later, Steven got into the car and immediately drove off. We all sat there in silence while I clenched and unclenched my fist. 1 thought I was diver it but I wasn’t. I needed Damon
“You can cry if you want to,” Gwen’s soft voice suddenly sounded, breaking the silence in the car and I shook my head.
“My husband is the only one that can comfort me so I can’t cry till he’s back” I murmured and I heard her sigh but she didn’t say anything
else.
As soon as we got back home, I got out of the car without waiting for anyone to open the car door for me and ran up to my room as fast as could, locking the door behind me.
I took several deep breaths to try and calm my nerves but it wasn’t working.
“Clara, I heard what happened. Open up the door so I can talk to you” I heard Delilah’s voice from the other side of the door and I instantly broke down.
“Get me Damon please!” I screamed as I wailed loudly.
“Clara, let me come in and talk to you” Delilah murmured but I wasn’t listening. I curled up in a ball and cried harder than I’ve cried in days
After a while, they were able to open the door with another key and I felt someone wrap their arms around me and I was waiting for that familiar warmth that seemed to calm me down immediately but I felt nothing because it wasn’t Damon,
as I cried on her chest. I wasn’t only crying for my dead child but
“It’s okay, I’m here for you” Delilah murmured as she caressed my hair as because I wanted Damon.
“Can’t you bring Damon to me please?” questioned softly as I stared up at her but she just sighed.
“I wish I could, Clara” She mur

mured and I cried harder on her chest till I got tired and fell asleep…
