Well not totally but their tone towards me softened but they still acted coldly.
I could really focus on them though because the next day, it was like my longing for Damon grew ten times worse.
Luca, Aunt Amelia and Damon’s parents all heard about what happened to me yesterday and they all came to the house to see how I was doing and even though they all tried to cheer me up, I still felt empty.
“Can’t you just let me see him?” I questioned softly as we all had breakfast together and everyone immediately went quiet.
“You can’t and quite frankly, i don’t think you would want to” The Alpha King uttered and I frowned.
“Of course I would want to. That’s all I want right n
now” I muttered and they all went silent again.
“Dear just eat your food, it’s getting cold” Damon’s mother uttered and I frowned before pushing my chair backwards as I stood up.
“I’m not hungry” I muttered and was about to walk away when Luca grabbed onto my hand.
“You have to eat, Clara. If Damon was here…
“But he isn’t and you all won’t let me see him, why?” I questioned then turned to glance at his parents but his mother just bowed her head while the Alpha King sighed.
“Clara…
“I’m leaving” I muttered before he could complete his sentence then walked out of the dining room despite Aunt Amelia calling my name.
*Clara please understand…” Luca began as he ran behind me with Delilah close beside him.
“What exactly should I understand? I just want to see him. I need him right now and you all don’t even care. I need my mate” I muttered as tears slid down my cheeks involuntarily.
“You have to understand that you can’t see him,” Delilah uttered and I scoffed.
“Why? Because he’s in isolation? I just want to see him once and…”
“It’s not because of that, Clara. You won’t want to see h
him” Delilah murmured and I frowned.
“What do you mean by that and why can’t she see him?” I suddenly heard Aunt Amelia’s voice as she walked out of the dining room with Damon’s parents.
“She just can’t see him” The Alpha King uttered and she pursed her lips before turning to him.
“I don’t mean to offend you but it seems you all are hiding something from Clara. Can’t you see her mate right now? Whatever punishment he’s serving, can’t she see him for thirty minutes And then he can carry on?” She questioned and everyone went silent.
“For crying out loud, what is the problem is something wrong with Damon? Why are you all being so secretive?” I uttered with my voice raised and a look passed between Luca and Delilah.
Luca turned to stare at the Alpha King before turning back to me.
Chapter 74
“Damon is currently not in a good position for you to see him” Luca uttered and I frowned.
“Why? What’s wrong with my husband?” I questioned and he sighed.
“He’s in the abyss” He muttered and my breath hitched while I almost choked on my spit. The abyss? That wasn’t just any isolated place, that was a place where a wolf that has committed the most horrendous deed is thrown into it. It’s like hell for any wolf’s mind because of the spell that was placed over the cave.
Any woll that goes into the abyss either comes out insane or brutally injured because the spell the witch casted on the cave drove them mad and in the process, they hurt themselves or worse, kill themselves..
“What?” I questioned softly and Luca sighed,
“Clara, calm down. You…”
“How can you tell me to calm down when Damon is currently harming himself?!” I yelled and he sighed.
“This isn’t the first time. He…
“What?” I screeched before turning to Damon’s mother.
“How could you let them send him to the abyss knowthg he’s going to suffer?” I questioned and she frowned.
“Because I’m able to admit that what he did was wrong and he has to pay for his sins. He slaughtered innocent people in cold blood, Clara. I get that he was doing it out of anger and emotions but if we keep overlooking things like this, he’s never going to change” She reasoned and even if she was making sense at that point, I was too angry to realize it.
“Take me to him,” I muttered as I turned to Luca.
“He cannot take you to him because Damon has to complete his punishment” The Alpha King uttered but I wasn’t listening to him. I just kept staring at Luca and as if seeing the seriousness in my eyes, he sighed then nodded.
“I’ll take you to him,” He muttered.
“You will do no such thing when I haven’t given you the permission to The Alpha King uttered, making Luca and I turn to him.
“You may be the Alpha King but my loyalty lies in my Alpha-and when he’s not around, my loyalty lies in his wife and you may punish me however you seem fit later but i have to obey her orders. Shall we leave, Clara?” He questioned and I nodded before hurriedly walking out of the house.
Delilah walked out of the house with us and asked to go with us. I didn’t reply because my mind was occupied with Damon but nevertheless, she got in with us and we drove all the way to where the abyss was located. It felt like a very long and tortuous journey when it only took an hour and some minutes to get there.
When we got there, I wasted no time in jumping out of the car and was about to run straight into the cave when Luca held me back.
“He’s not in his right senses and might seriously hurt you” He muttered and I opened my mouth to say something when I heard a pain filled scream come from inside the cave.
“Damon!” I screamed and pushed away Luca as hard as I could before running into the cave. The guards tried holding me back but it seemed Luca told them not to so they let me pass.
As soon as I laid my eyes on Damon, the tears began flowing down my cheeks without end. He was waiting and screaming on the ground while holding his head. There were scratch marks all over his body which were self-inflicted and his clothes were all torn and tattered.

“Damon, it’s Clara” I screamed as loud as I could and he paused before turning to me with red wide eyes..
“Clara?” He called out as if making sure and I hurriedly nodded while trying to keep my tears at bay.

“Yeah it’s Clara” I murmured and was about to reach out to hold him when he snarled and pulled back his claw and was about to slash me when Luca immediately pulled me out of the way and instead got a scratch on the leg
“Dammit. He’s not in his right senses, he can’t recognize you. Maybe you should…” Before he could complete his sentence, I pushed Luca away and ran towards Damon, bent down and wrapped my arms around him as tightly as I could.
“It’s me Clara, your wife!” I screamed as loud as I could and his body stilled.
“Clara?” He called out softly and immediately he wrapped his arms around me, I snuggled into his arms.
es it’s me, I’m sorry for coming late but we are leaving here together”….
