way to the meeting all I could think about was Clara. These days she was on my mind 24/7 and I didn’t hate it as much as I used to. 

“You are smiling.” Luca suddenly pointed out and 1 frowned. 

“No I’m not” I muttered and he scoffed. 

“I’m just marrying her to get the Alpha King title but here you are fantasizing about her. You rejected the Alpha King’s title for her, didn’t 

you?” He questioned and I scoffed. 

“I wasn’t ready and that’s why… 

“Sure. You can tell that to your father but not me. I know you Axel and you would jump at any opportunity to be the don’t want to get rid of Clara yet. Isn’t that right?” He uttered and I pursed my lips before glancing out the window. 

“Shut your

your mouth and drive. Besides, she hasn’t given me a child yet so I cannot get rid of her just yet” i muttered and he snorted. 

“Sure, keep telling yourself that and you might believe it” He muttered and I glared at him but didn’t say anything else. 

We got to the meeting spot and I couldn’t even focus on what was being discussed. I kept glancing at my phone like Clara was going to shoot a text or something but nothing popped up. We hardly texted one another but still. 

“Are you listening, Alpha?” I raised up my head at the sound of Luca’s voice and the smirk on his face made me glare at him. 

“What were you saying? I zoned out” I muttered and they stared at me in shock and I was shocked as well. I wasn’t one to z

I tried blocking Clara out of my mind till the meeting was over 

ver and the document was signed. 

“It’s an Honor to work with you, Alpha Damon” The Alpha of the Eclipse moon pack, Daniel uttered with a smile as he reached forward to shake my hand. 

He was someone I never cared about mainly because he was my age and had no notable achievements but he was eager to get on my good 

side and I felt like I could use him. 

I shook his hand then turned to Luca and we immediately left Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

On the ride back home, I called Clara without even thinking twice and frowned when she didn’t pick up. 

“That’s weird” I muttered to myself. 

“What is Alpha?” Luca questioned as he glanced at me through the rear view mirror and I growled at him. 

“Shut

I mind your damn business” | muttered and he frowned. 

“Wow, what crawled up your pants?” He muttered to himself but I clearly heard him. 

We got to the house and I got down then handed my bag to Luca before walking into the house. I ignored everyone on the way because all ! 

wanted to see at that moment was her 

I walked into the house and had expected her to greet me or something but she was nowhere to be found. 

I walked further into the house and paused when i saw her walking up the stairs. Had she not heard that I had arrived? 

“Clara” I called out her hame and she halted before turning to me and the disinterest in her eyes made me frown.. 

“Welcome” She uttered, then turned around and walked away just like that. 

I stared after her in shock and only snapped out of it when Luca placed his hand on my shoulder. 

“Alpha” He called out and I turned to him. 

“Did she just tell me welcome?” I questioned and he nodded slowly. 

“She did, Alpha” He replied. 

“Then she walked away?” I questioned and he nodded. 

“She also did that, Alpha” He answered and I scoffed as I loosened my tie. She did not just pretend like I didn’t exist. 

“I’m going to teach her a lesson” I muttered before going up to her room. I didn’t even bother knocking before barging into her room and she didn’t even flinch. 

“What’s wrong this time?” I questioned and she turned to me with confusion etched on her face. 

“I have no idea what you’re talking about” She muttered then turned away and went back to the book she was reading. 

I scoffed then walked up to her, took the book and threw it out the window, 

“Damon, what’s your problem?! I liked that book” She screamed as she stared at me angrily. 

“Fucking tell me why you’re behaving this way now” I muttered and she scoffed. 

“Behaving what way? Oh because I didn’t throw myself at you this time or cling onto you like a leech? Nothing is wrong, this is how it’s supposed to be” She uttered and I frowned. 

“What are you talking about?” I questioned and she sighed. 

“I’m tired of trying to force myself to like you just so I could feel something for you so that my stay here will be bearable at least but I can’t stand you so let’s go back to the way things were supposed to be like. You mind your own personal business and I’ll mind mine” She muttered and I stared at her in shock, 

“What did you just say?” I questioned softly and she tilted her head. 

“What? You’re not used to a girl telling you they haven’t fallen for your charm? I can’t stand you anymore, Damon so leave me alone” She uttered then stood up from her bed and was about to walk away when I grabbed her hand and pulled her towards me so we were staring intently into my eyes and I was shocked by the fact that I couldn’t read what she was thinking. 

She just stared back at me blankly. 

“Stare into my eyes and tell me every emotion you have shown towards me up till now is a lle. Say those words you just uttered to my face” I muttered and she clenched her jaw, 

“I don’t like you and I cannot stand your presence any longer. Let go of me” She muttered then tried pulling away but I held her tightly. 

“I don’t know what kind of sick game you’re playing or whatever mood swings you’re going through but it’s starting to piss me off” muttered and she tilted her head.

“if I’m pissing you off then leave. Go be with those sluts that won’t piss you off. I won’t care, I promise” She muttered while staring into my 

eyes and I was starting to feel a kind of way and I hated it. I hate it more than anything. 

“No” I uttered and she frowned. 

“No? What do you mean no?” She questioned and I moved closer almost to the point that the tip of our nose was touching. 

“I don’t know what had gotten over you but I’m going to fuck the truth out of you tonight and you better be ready to beg me…
