Chasing The Rejected

-CLARA-

I looked at myself in the mirror before letting out a sigh.

I had agreed to go on a date with Liam tonight and for some reason I was feeling nervous. I didn’t know if it was because this was the first time in how many months I was going to spend time with Liam or the fact that I was feeling guilty for going out on a date with someone else.

“You don’t have to feel guilty, he doesn’t” My wolf uttered and I couldn’t agree with her more. Damon hadn’t shown an ounce of guilt for what he was putting me through so why should I care?

After I agreed to go out on a date with Liam, my wolf suddenly came out of her hibernation and I thought she was going to be against it but she wanted to hurt Damon more than I wanted to. She wanted to make him jealous and what better way to do that than to go out with a man you once loved and wanted to spend your whole life with?

I took in a deep breath before grabbing my back. I was wearing a red skin tight dress that had a little slit at the side with a pair of black heels with red bottoms.

My hair was in a slick bun because it just felt right and accentuated the sharp edges of my face. I really did look good tonight.

“Let’s go meet Liam I guess” I murmured before turning around and walking out of my room. Delilah was the only one that knew I was going out with Liam tonight and even though she was always on her brother’s side, she supported me on this and was even the one that told me to wear the color red.

“It’s the perfect color for revenge” She had said and I couldn’t agree more.

I got into the car and told the driver where I was headed. I begged him not to tell Damon and after several pleas later, he gave in and told Luca instead.

Luca immediately granted me permission to leave and even applauded me through the phone which made me smile.

Soon after, the carp

got on the road and I played with my fingers out of nervousness. Maybe I was nervous to meet Liam after all.

I wasn’t allowed to leave the pack so we had to go to a place within and Liam picked the most gorgeous looking restaurant I had ever seen. I knew for a fact that it cost a fortune to dine there.

I got down from the car with the help of the driver and flashed him a smile before walking towards the restaurant.

I was immediately led to Liam’s table which was a secluded part of the restaurant where I assumed only Alpha’s could rent out.

When he saw me, his eyes lit up instantly as they trailed down my b body before he smiled, stood up

p and walked over to me.

“You look beautiful, Clara. I hope you won’t mind me staring at you all night” He murmured and I could have sworn I saw how red my face was through his eyes. Liam was always good with words, that was what drew me in id the first place.

“I don’t mind” I murmured and he smiled and how I remember how much I used to love my smile but now I just felt myself comparing him

10…

I **ly slapped myself. Why y was I even thinking of that jerk? He was probably off somewhere with his d**k shoved into another hole. That thought alone made my blood boil.

Liam led me to the

table and the waiter immediately walked over,

“Good evening Alpha Whitlock and Mrs Donovan. What would you like to order?” The waiter questioned and I was all too aware of the

judgmental look in his eyes.

As a matter of fact, ever since I came into the restaurant and everyone saw I wasn’t Damon, I could feel them throwing their condemning looks my way and it made me angry.

Everyone knew of Damon’s cheating ways and how he had been treating me but they all turned a blind eye to it but when it was my turn, I was immediately condemned. This just showed how misogynistic the wolf world was.

“Your favorite?” Liam asked, snapping me out of my trance and I raised an eyebrow at him.

“You still know my favorite?” I questioned and he chuckled before his face turned serious.

“I remember everyone about you, Clara. I’ll never forget” He muttered and I just stared at him, not knowing what to say. I didn’t think I could forget him either because he was a very big part of who I was.

“She’ll have a medium steak with mashed potatoes, extra gravy and a burger. Isn’t that right?” Liam uttered and I was about to reply when someone uttered behind me.

“Oh? If it isn’t my wife out here on a date with her f**g ex” Damon uttered as he walked towards us with another girl strapped on his

arm.

“Damon, what are you doing here?” I questioned and he scoffed.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“This is my restaurant, Clara, I can come here whenever I want. Since you’re both here for a date, why don’t I and my date join in? It can be like a fun little double date, what do you say?” He questioned but didn’t even wait for our answer before pulling out a chair and sitting right

next to me.

The girl he came with stood awkwardly by the side, probably waiting for Damon to pull out a chair for her but he totally ignored her existence as his eyes were on me.

“I couldn’t help but overhear what your favorite food is. It’s a good thing your ex knows because me as your husband doesn’t even know something that simple about you. Don’t you find it odd?” Damon uttered and although his voice sounded playful, his eyes indicated otherwise.

“Alpha Damon…” Liam began but a look from Damon was enough to shut him up.

“I’m speaking to my wife so don’t you dare meddle in” Liam threatened before slowly turning to me.

“You are here on a date with him?” Damon muttered through clenched teeth and I frowned.

“Go away, I want to enjoy my evening so just leave I muttered and he stared at me for a while before resting back on his seat.

“This is

going to be a very interesting date. Won’t you order for me as well, lover boy?” Damon mocked, earning a glare from Liam.

This night was definitely not going to end well…
