After I got Damon naked, I took him to the bathroom and bathed him. I wasn’t as modest as he was and couldn’t stop myself from grabbing his protruding dick and shoving it into my mouth.
Even though I had bathed earlier, I had to bathe again because of how sticky I was and by the time we got out of the bathroom, it was almost midnight.
We both patted ourselves dry with the towel before going into the closet and getting dressed. As soon as we were done, we wasted no time in climbing into bed and I snuggled close to Damon. I wanted to get into his skin.
“I won’t be around for a while” He suddenly said and I froze before glancing up at him with a frown.
“Again? Where are you going this time?” I questioned and he sighed.
“I have to be punished because of what I did in that south. My father is sending me away to be in solitude for a week. It will only be for a week and then I’ll be back” He murmured and I shook my head.
“I’m not letting you go anywhere, you’re staying here with me” I murmured and he sighed.
“Do you really want me to go against the Alpha king’s orders?” He questioned and I frowned.
“You normally do it so why can’t you do it this time?” I questioned and he stared at me for a while before caressing my cheek.
“In order for this relationship or marriage to work, I have to atone for my sins and is one way I can do that. When I get back I promise! won’t leave you again” He uttered but I still couldn’t wipe the frown off my face.
“Damon, we have been away from one another too long. I just want to spend time with you. I know I’m acting like a clingy girlfriend but this is what you get for pushing me away for so long” I murmured with a pout and he chuckled before pinching my cheek.
“Clingy wife, not girlfriend and I don’t mind it. I find it cute. I’ll be back before you know it, I promise” He murmured and I stared at him for a while before letting out a sigh.
“Where is this place and what exactly is this punishment?” questioned.
“It’s like a dark cave where a wolf that has committed atrocious sins is taken to for isolation. It’s just a means for me to reflect on my actions. Don’t worry about me, I’ll be okay He uttered while still caressing my cheek.
“And by isolation, you mean I can’t come visit you? No one can?” I questioned and he nodded.
“it’s the rule” He mentioned and I scoffed,
“That sounds like hell. I’m going to go talk to your father and guilt trip him into letting you go” I murmured and was about to pull away when Damon tightened his arm around my waist and placed his nose on my neck.
“Do you really want to waste the night by fighting a futile battle with my father? I’d rather spend time with you” He murmured and I couldn’t argue with his logic so I gave in.
“Fine” I muttered before settling down into his arms again. We stayed like that for a while and surprisingly, Damon fell asleep first.
I pulled away slightly to stare at his face and couldn’t help but smile. This man was perfect. How could he still look so handsome even when he was asleep?

I raised my hand and gently traced the outline of his face as I thought back on our time with one another, Granted, our relationship with one another hasn’t been the smoothest. Heck we have spent more time apart than we have together but the feelings we had, at least the feelings I had for him were unreal. I didn’t know if I could use the L word yet and to be honest, I was afraid to use it because even though he wanted to make us official and we both wanted this marriage to work, what’s the guarantee that it will?
I knew it was already too late but I was going to try and guard my heart as much as I could.
After a while I fell asleep as well.
When I woke up the next morning, Damon’s face was the first thing I saw.
“Good morning little devil” He murmured and I smiled. I used to despise that nickname he gave me when we first met but now, I kind of liked it even though I’d wish he’d call me something more romantic.
He leaned down to place a kiss on my lips and only then did I realize that he was fully clothed and not in his nightwear but in casual wear.
“Are you going already?” I questioned softly and he sighed before nodding
“The earlier I go, the sooner I’ll be back. Luca is telling your guards what to do and how to protect you. Do not leave without Luca’s permission or without anyone knowing your whereabouts. If something is wrong, tell Luca. Always alert Luca on anything, okay?” He uttered and I frowned.
“Do you really have to go?” I questioned and he sighed. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
“We went over this last night already, Clara, I didn’t want to leave without you seeing me. Why don’t you waiting for me” He uttered and I had no other choice but to comply.
see me off? The car is already
I wore a robe before following Damon downstairs and I was surprised by all the solemn looks on the maids and guards” faces as he walked by. He was only going into isolation so why were they acting like he was going to die?
As soon as we walked out of the house, Luca ran up to us with Delilah behind him.
“You are leaving” She murmured softly and he nodded.
“I am. The both of you should take care of Clara with your life or I’ll hunt you. Male sure she’s well protected” He ordered and they both bowed their heads.
“Of course, Alpha. Good luck” Luca murmured while staring into Damon’s eyes and it was almost like a silent conversation was going on between them,
“Why are you all acting like Damon is going to war or something? It’s just isolation right?” I questioned as I narrowed my eyes suspiciously at all of them.
“Of course baby but isolation isn’t exactly fun, is it?” Damon murmured then grabbed my face and gave me a very passionate kiss which I immediately melted into. All the suspicion immediately vanished and was replaced by desire and want.
“I see you’re ready” We suddenly heard Damon’s father’s voice from behind us and I didn’t hesitate to throw a glare at him which he immediately noticed.
“Yes”
Damon uttered as he turned away from me to face him.
“Very well then, good luck. I’ll make sure to watch after Clara when you’re gone” He murmured and Damon shook his head.
“I have Luca for that” He muttered then turned to me with a smile as he grabbed onto my hand.

“I’ll be back before you know it, okay?” He murmured and I could feel the tears threatening to fall.
“I’ll miss you” I whispered and he grinned.

“I’ll be thinking of you” He murmured then slowly pulled away and in a matter of seconds, he was gone and the emptiness that settled down on me was making me sick.
1. me.
*You can’t hate me for this, I’m doing this for my son’s sake” I jumped slightly at the voice and noticed the Alpha King was standing next to
Without fear, I turned to glare at him.
“The least you could do is let us mourn our dead child together and now because of this, I’d have to mourn alone. Thank you” I muttered then turned around and walked away.
I don’t know if I should be mad at the Alpha King because maybe he was really doing this for Damon’s sake but I needed Damon right now.
1 stormed my way to my room and barged in only to stop in my tracks when I saw that same girl Damon had brought last night standing in my room.
The look in her eyes gave me chills not because they held anger or hatred, but because they were lifeless.
She bowed her head slightly before staring back at me again,
“Gwen at your service, Mrs Donovan“…

Chapter 73 -CLARA- 64% We both stood there staring at each other for a while till I cleared my throat and smiled to clear the tension but the dead look in her eyes still remained. “Oh you’re here” I murmured as I walked closer to her but she just took a step backwards which made me frown. “You don’t have to be afraid of me, I would never hurt you” I murmured. “I’m not afraid of you. I just abhor hate for you and your husband” She uttered honestly and I sighed. “I know what my husband did was wrong and I share my condolences to you but your father did try to kill me” i murmured and she scoffed. “He killed my mother in cold blood” She muttered through clenched teeth and I frowned, “Because of your father’s ambush, I lost my child and…” “I lost my mother at a very long age! I didn’t get to experience the love of a mother and my brothers had to raise me up themselves and mind you, they were still kids. We had to watch our father lose his mind and wallow in agony from losing my mother and we could do absolutely nothing about it. Don’t try to justify what your husband did because he has ruined a lot of lives and if I have any say, you losing your child is just his karma” She muttered then wiped away her tears hardly while I just stared at her. I never really thought of it that way. I guess when I heard of the things Damon had done, I never really thought about the effect of his actions on others and that was very wrong of me. “I’m sorry on behalf of my husband and I. He only did what he did because of me so I’m the one you should blame for your father’s death. You can hate me for as long as you want but I can guarantee you that liking me is so much better especially since I already like you. We are about the same age,
aren’t we?” I questioned and she scoffed. “That doesn’t change a thing. So what if we are age mates, I will never like a Donovan” She muttered and I just smiled. “You have a sharp mouth, I like you” I murmured and she rolled her eyes. After seeing she wasn’t in any mood to hold a conversation with me, I let her go and got ready for the day. In order to take my mind off Damon I had to keep myself busy and that was exactly what I did. I kept myself busy by doing anything I could do around the house and pack. I even talked to some pack members who greeted me and regarded me with such high respect. They must have probably heard that Damon slaughtered an Alpha because of me. Gwen and her brothers stayed close and even though I tried making conversation with them, they answered coldly or didn’t answer at all so I just left them. I was seated at the pack just enjoying the fresh hair and the sounds of children running and playing around. I couldn’t help but smile even when an empty feeling settled down inside of me. “You are crying” Gwen pointed out nonchalantly and my eyes widened as I quickly wiped away my tears. “Oh I’m sorry, this place is kind of depressing. Let’s leave” I muttered as I stood up from the bench and was about to walk away when a little boy ran up to me and wrapped his arms around my leg “Mama” He murmured while peering up at him and my heart immediately broke. I bent down to caress his hair. 1/3 “Are you lost, sweet child?” I questioned but he just stared at me before throwing himself into my arms. 11:55 Tue, 2 Jul Chapter 73 0:0 64% “Mama” He called again and I couldn’t help but wrap my arms around his tiny little body. What was a
child like this going out here all on his own? I picked him up in my arms as I glanced around. “Don’t worry baby, we’re going to find your mama, okay?” I murmured but just before I could take a step forward, a woman that looked like she hadn’t slept or showered for days charged towards me like a raging bull and yanked the child out of my arms roughly. “What are you trying to do? Are you trying to kidnap my child?!” She yelled so loud that everyone instantly turned to stare at us while the baby immediately started crying, “He came up to me and “Kidnapper! You want to take my kid all because you lost yours right?” She yelled again and this time I froze as tears welled up in my eyes. I was trying my best, trying my possible best not to think about it. “Get out of here or I’ll have your head chopped off Steven, who I now knew as the oldest and the most silent suddenly stood in front of me, blocking my view of the woman. “Take her back to the car now” He ordered and Nathan and Nate who were fraternal twins immediately led me back to the car with Gwen tailing behind. I stayed silent as I got into the car while trying my hardest not to let my tears spill because I felt like if I cried, I wouldn’t stop and the only person that could comfort me wasn’t around. Some seconds later, Steven got into the car and immediately drove off. We all sat there in silence while I clenched and unclenched my fist. 1 thought I was diver it but I wasn’t. I needed Damon “You can cry if you want to,” Gwen’s soft voice suddenly sounded, breaking the silence in the car and I shook my head. “My husband is the only one that can comfort me so I can’t cry till he’s back” I murmured and I heard her sigh but she didn’t say anything else. As soon as we got back home, I got out of the car without waiting for anyone to open the car door for me and ran up to my room as fast as could, locking the door behind me. I took several deep breaths to try and calm my nerves but it wasn’t working.
“Clara, I heard what happened. Open up the door so I can talk to you” I heard Delilah’s voice from the other side of the door and I instantly broke down. “Get me Damon please!” I screamed as I wailed loudly. “Clara, let me come in and talk to you” Delilah murmured but I wasn’t listening. I curled up in a ball and cried harder than I’ve cried in days After a while, they were able to open the door with another key and I felt someone wrap their arms around me and I was waiting for that familiar warmth that seemed to calm me down immediately but I felt nothing because it wasn’t Damon, as I cried on her chest. I wasn’t only crying for my dead child but “It’s okay, I’m here for you” Delilah murmured as she caressed my hair as because I wanted Damon. “Can’t you bring Damon to me please?” questioned softly as I stared up at her but she just sighed. “I wish I could, Clara” She mur 2/3 11:55 Tue, 2 Jul Chapter 73 mured and I cried harder on her chest till I got tired and fell asleep…Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
