Chapter 127
~DIMITRI-
“I need to talk to Damon, he’ll understand soon” Clara said as she tried going back to Damon but I held her back.
“He’s not in the right frame of mind right now and I don’t want him hurting you” I told her and she turned to me with a glare.
“Damon will never hurt me, not physically anyways” She uttered and I sighed.
“Yes but I can’t assure you that my father or Delilah won’t. Let’s just go back so you can rest, this stress isn’t good for your baby” As soon as I said that, she calmed down a little bit and began to cry.
“I don’t know how to explain to them” She murmured and I immediately wrapped my arms around her.
“You don’t have to. You’ve played your part and soon, they’ll realize you’re not the bad one here. Stop stressing yourself, let me take you back home” I told her as we walked away then led her towards my car.
As she climbed into the car, I heard Luca call out her name from behind me.
“Maybe it’s a message from Damon” She said hurriedly and tried getting out of the car but I shook my head at her.
“If it is then I’ll tell you but just in case, stay in here while I talk to him” I told her and she frowned.
“But…”
“You’re stressing the baby, Clara. Just let me talk to him okay?” I told her and she stared at me for a while then sighed before nodding.
I closed the car door before walking towards Luca.
“What is it?” I questioned and he sighed.
“I want to speak with Clara, not you” He told me and I tilted my head.
“I’ll relay your message to her. She’s tired and hasn’t stopped crying” I told him and he sighed.
“Just tell her that Damon isn’t really sending her away for good. Things are a mess now and if the Queen Luna ends up dying, she’s going to be in a lot of trouble. The Alpha King wants her dead, Damon is trying everything he can to take care of the whole situation. I’ve already told some of our men, they’ll be waiting for her at the mansion, they’ll take her to a safe location in the meantime till everything dies down. Her things are already being packed” To say Luca’s words shocked me was an understatement.
I was flabbergasted.
“He isn’t angry at her for what she did?” I questioned and he sighed.
“You know Damon doesn’t take betrayal well. He is angry but deep down he trusts Clara and loves her even more than we think. Just tell her this so she understands” He said and I nodded slowly.
“I’ll follow her just so she’s safe” I told him and he raised an eyebrow then nodded.
“I’m not sure Damon will be pleased to hear that but it’s better than nothing. I have to head back before Delilah notices I’m gone” He said then glanced behind me before running back into the hospital.
I stood there for a while as a slow frown adorned my face before I turned around and walked towards the car.
“What did he say?” Clara immediately asked as I climbed into the driver’s seat and turned on the car.
“He wants you gone by tonight” I told her and she gasped loudly.
“Is… is that all? You guys talked for a long time and…”
“He just said Damon is really angry at you and doesn’t want to see you again” I said to her knowing fully well that if either of them found out I was lying, was going to be in so much trouble but I had to do what had to do.

I hadn’t just come here just to expose Aurora, I came here with an hidden agenda and Clara was the key to reaching that goal.
This whole plan just made everything easier. I just hoped Damon wouldn’t hate me more than he already did after this.
“You should have told Luca that I was pregnant. He would tell Damon and then…”
“I told him and he said he’ll tell
Damon. We’ll wait for a few minutes before we leave but if Damon doesn’t come that means he doesn’t care” I said to her and I hated that I needed to break her but I needed to get her out of here as soon as possible and the only way to do that is to make her think Damon no
longer wants her.
When we got to Damon’s house, Clara couldn’t hold back her tears when she saw her luggage already arranged outside for her.
“Is he really being serious?” She murmured to herself as tears rolled down her cheeks.
“I’ll go load your things into the car so we can leave” I told her and she shook her head.
“I’m not leaving till Damon throws me out himself. They’ll know the truth soon, I just have to wait and he’ll come back to me” She uttered and I frowned.
That was what I was afraid of. If they found out the truth, I won’t be able to get Clara out of here. We needed to leave immediately.
“Have you no pride? DamonContent bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
obviously doesn’t want you. I told
him you were pregnant, if he really cared then he would have sent a message to the guards and your
things wouldn’t be out here waitin et
for you. I care about you, Clara and the more you stay here, the more at risk your child is. Not even because of Damon but my father, he’s unstable right now and might come after you. Let’s just go” I tried convincing her. We were running out of time.
Just then, one of the guards walked up to the car and knocked on the window. Clara opened the door and he bowed his head at her.
“I’ve been assigned by the Alpha to take you out of here. We are to leave immediately” The guard told her, making her cry harder.
“I’ll take her out, you don’t have to do it” I told the guard and he furrowed his eyebrows.
“But the Alpha…”
“I’ve already informed him. Help me load the car with her luggage” I told him and he glanced down at Clara who was still crying before bowing his head.
The way he looked at her meant he had some sort of attachment towards her but that didn’t matter.
Soon after, her luggage had been packed into the car and immediately, I drove away from the mansion and towards the gate while she stared out of the window still sobbing.
“Don’t worry, it’s going to be okay. You have to be strong for your baby. Let him cool down, maybe later he’ll come find you” I told her as I briefly glanced at her.
“Can we wait for a few minutes? Maybe he’s on his way to me” She uttered and I sighed.
“Clara…”
“Stop the car Dimitri, I’m going to wait” She said and it seems whatever I was going to say wasn’t going to convince her so I had no other choice but to stop the car.
We waited for minutes and immediately, those minutes turned into hours. The sky had turned dark by the time Clara lost all hope.
“He is really not coming. He really doesn’t care about us” She murmured as she rubbed her stomach and I knew I was either going to get killed by Damon or Clara when the truth came out but I had to do this.
I wish there was another way but there wasn’t.
“Let’s go?” I questioned and she nodded slowly before taking off her ring and throwing it out the window.
