Chasing The Rejected

Chapter 34 

-CLARA- 

Things just kept going downhill from there onwards. Damon and I stopped talking completely. 

Everyone noticed and Damon didn’t even bother acting towards them. I guess he was seriously done with me now and I didn’t know how to react to that. 

The worst ones were that he was hardly at home but if he was, he had a different girl on his arm everyday and it made my blood boil. I guess I really was just meaningless sex to him. 

“Don’t mind my brother. He’s complicated” Delilah uttered as she stared at me with a frown. Everyone knew Damon brought different women home but no one could stop him. His father tried but that didn’t end well so he never tried again. 

They were all evidently disappointed in him but not much could be done. It was like they all feared him. 

I smiled slightly at her and shook my head. 

“I’m not worried and I don’t care. He can do whatever he wants” I murmured and her frown deepened because she knew deep down that it affected me and I knew that too. 

During these past few days, Damon and I had grown closer and him acting this inconsiderate towards me was taking a toll on me. I even stopped working for a while because I couldn’t seem to focus. 

“I’ll talk to him. Till try my best… 

“You don’t have to, I know you all are afraid of him” I murmured and she froze slightly before letting out a sigh. 

“Who wouldn’t be? I guess you don’t know your husband” She murmured and her words intrigued me because she was right. I didn’t know my husband. 

“What else is there to know about him?” I questioned and she went quiet for a while before letting out a sigh. 

“I’ll have to assume Damon didn’t tell you himself because he didn’t want you to know so I can’t tell you everything, okay?” She uttered and I slowly nodded. 

“Have you ever heard of anyone going by the name Death viper?” She questioned and my eyes widened. Who hasn’t? I feel like I have 

heard that name since I was a kid. 

“Don’t tell me…” I trailed off and she nodded to my suspicion. 

“My brother used to be Death viper” She confessed and I gasped so loudly I felt like the whole pack heard me. 

“That can’t be true. I’ve been hearing that name since I was a kid. How can that be him?” I muttered as I remembered vividly how Liam’s father used to tell us about the Death viper when he was still alive. 

“My brother started his killing spree from the age of eight. He was unstoppable and killed whatever was in his part or whoever or whatever dared to question him. He hated laughter, happiness and only rejoiced when someone was crying. My parents saw earlier signs of this behavior when he was six and kept laughing at my grandma’s funeral but they all brushed it off till he started his killing spree” She paused slightly to make sure I was following and I gulped before nodding. 

“My brother didn’t always kill innocent people, he went for anyone who annoyed him or messed with his family and one day when I was 16, an Alpha came to our pack and said he wanted me as his bride and mind you, he was already married to his mate and had children but he wanted me. Damon didn’t say anything but after that night, the Alpha never wake up again and his head was placed on a rod as a warning to 

anyone who tried to mess with his family” She muttered and I gasped. 

“How old was he then?” I questioned. 

“He was 19 years old but with the amount of enemies he had, you’d think he had been living for centuries. Everyone loathed the Death viper and wanted him dead but no one could kill him because he was the stealthiest killer known to being. There were a lot of assassin attacks, poison attacks and even straight attacks but nothing could defeat Damon. That was until he and my brother, Fell in love with the same girl and Damon ended up killing her” She revealed and I was shocked. 

“Why would he kill her? What did she do?” I questioned and she shrugged. 

“I don’t know, neither of them would say a word about the issue. The one reason we know Damon killed her was because he had been holding the knife while she laid down on the ground with stab wounds but after that, Dominic left and we never saw him again even though we text everyday. Damon stopped killing and decided to focus his energy on something more productive. We still fear him because he could go to that person anytime he wanted to. So we try not to get on his bad side or make him angry” She explained and I nodded slowly, still trying to process everything she had said. 

“You must be wondering why Damon is always being rude to our parents. Well that’s because they hadn’t been in support of his hobby and tried to kill him but failed. Because of his killing spree, everyone began to turn their backs on the Alpha King which was taking a toll on my parent’s power and now, Damon can never forget nor forgive them for that. He has become warmer though, you should have seen him before. They couldn’t even be in the same room together without arguing. It was because of Damon everyone got their individual mansion” She explained and it all suddenly made sense. 

I was about to say something when a girl giggled her way into the dining room. She paused when she saw us and her cleavage and ass 

were bare for the whole world to see. 

“Oh? Sorry for intruding, Damon wants to kill me” She murmured and sat down while I stared at her with a frown. Damon? She was on a first name basis with him now? 

Damon walked in seconds later and let out a sigh when he saw Delilah and I. noveldrama

“Samantha, go back to the room now” He muttered and she shook her head before letting out a hiccup. She was obviously drunk. 

“You want to kill me” She murmured and I groaned before abruptly getting up from the chair. Without even acknowledging his presence, I walked past him and climbed up to my room while trying my hardest to hold back my tears. 

I 

“Why do you even want to cry for that jerk?” I muttered to myself as I wiped away my tears furiously. Ever since Damon began acting this way, my wolf hasn’t spoken a word except for the few whimpering I heard. He was hurting her and he didn’t even give a fuck. 

Just then, my phone rang and when I saw the caller id, I sighed before picking it up. 

“Clara” Liam called out and I sighed. 

“I know you’re going to say no but I’m never going to stop asking you, Clara. Please go out with me, just once. It mustn’t be a date, it can be a little get together and we’ll catch up on things we have missed” He murmured and was about to say I wasn’t interested but thought it over. 

If Damon could be with whatever girl he wanted then I could do the same and didn’t have to feel bad about it. 

“Okay Liam, I’ll go out with you“…
