Chasing The Rejected Luna's Heart (Clara and Liam)

Chapter 137

-CLARA-

"If you all cared about me so much then why was I abandoned?" I questioned after he pulled away and he sighed.

"The story is very complicated and.......”

"Father didn't want me because I was a wolf, right?" I questioned and his eyes widened.

"Like I said, it's complicated and..."

"But you didn't deny it, which means it's true. He didn't want me" I interrupted, not able to hide the sadness in my voice.

He stared at me for a while but didn't say anything which made me even sadder.

"So I was truly abandoned then? And how come I can't remember anything? I should be able to remember something. We wolves have good memories" I told him and couldn't understand why I was so affected by this.

If anyone had tried to tell me about my parents or anything related to them in the past, I would have dismissed them before they even got the chance.

I remembered how I used to long for a mother's love or father's warmth when I was younger but as I grew older, I slowly began to hate anything that had to do with my parents because I couldn't understand why they would abandon me.

Now I understood it was because I wasn't wanted and knowing that didn't feel good at all.

"I guess I'll have to tell you the story from the beginning then" My uncle uttered, snapping me out of my thoughts.

I didn't say anything and just stared at him as he looked for words to say.

"As you know, our organization is against Anything supernatural, most especially wolves. We wanted them all eradicated because we believed they weren't meant to be in the same world with humans and were supposed to remain a myth in a children's story book and your father was no exception to this belief. As a matter of fact, at that time I thought he hated them even more than I did. He was an active leader and was always ready to slain one without mercy but that was until he fell in love with a werewolf" He said and stopped like he was reminiscing on the past.

"Your father didn't tell anyone for a while because he knew it was a taboo but he didn't even need to say anything before everyone noticed he had changed. Before any supernatural being could be killed, he would have then questioned and if they hadn't killed a human in their life, he would let them go. He started trying to convince us that all wolves weren't bad and we only needed to eradicate the bad ones. We all began to notice the change and knew something was wrong so when he brought your mother over to us, you couldn't even begin to believe the shock, anger and shame we felt. We didn't want her, as a matter of fact, our father tried to kill her on the spot, claiming she had bewitched you but your father told us she was pregnant and that if anyone wanted to get to her, they had to kill him first" He paused then turned to me to make sure I was listening and i nodded.

"I'm sure you can guess what

happened next? Of course he was removed from his position and had everything stripped off him. He was reduced to nothing and no one cared if he was once a great leader, he went against our belief which is a taboo and not only that, he got a wolf pregnant. Many of the organization members wanted him dead but I became the new leader and didn't allow anyone to kill him but had him moved to a secluded area because I couldn't even bear to

look at him. Despite what year t

might

think or what any of us thought, your father loved your mother more than he loved himself. He was happy with her and didn't care if he was being shunned by the others. I went to check up on him from time to time and each time I went there, he was all smiles and had his arms wrapped around your mother. I had never seen him so alive before but I still couldn't accept it. I still believed your mother did something to him but that all changed when you were born. I'm ashamed to say it but your mother wasn't allowed into any hospital or given a midwife so your father had to give birth to the baby himself. I didn't even get to see you until you turned one year old and it wasn't because I couldn't but because I didn't want to. To us, you were an abomination, a being that wasn't meant to exist but you did and I'm so grateful to that because you weren't just a blessing to your parents but to me as well" His eyes softened and a soft smoke played on his lips.

"The day I met you was one of those days where I would sneakily check up on your father and there you were, crying softly in your father's arms. I could still remember the pure adoration he had on his face as he stared down at you and I knew you meant the world to him and when I laid my eyes on you, I felt completely different You noticed my presence even before your father and turned to me with a curious gaze. My heart immediately swelled up with love as I stared into your eyes and I knew then that I could never hate you. You were my niece for crying out loud. Ever since that day, I kept visiting your father to spend more time with you and each time, I fell more and more in love with you and my life which once only had one purpose which was to kill your kind slowly began to have another purpose which was to protect you. At that point, I saw you as my daughter and was ready to go against everyone to keep you safe. Slowly but surely, I began to warm up to your mother as well and saw that she wasn't so different from us and I could really see that she loved your father so I wasn't so against their union as I was before" He explained and we were both silent for a while.

"If you all loved me so much, how did I end up in that pack? How did I end up abandoned?" I questioned and his eyes darkened as a frown appeared

on his lips.

"Slowly, your father developed

dementia and I or anyone else didn't

notice before it was too late. I

remembered how I would come to

check up on him and catch him beating up your mother to the stage

of almost killing her. I would have to pull him away from her and he would accuse me of protecting a wolf but as soon as he came back to his senses or rather, remembered who your mother was, he would cry wholeheartedly and sometimes, even beat himself up because of it. Anytime I caught him crying, something broke inside of me but I didn't know how to help because I didn't understand what was going on. I believed only old people had dementia so I didn't think about that at all. By this time, you were already

about five years old and I tried my best to shield you away whenever your father started beating up your mother. Do you know the surprising part? Your mother never once stopped loving him. She knew something was wrong with him and

pleaded with me to have him checked out in the hospital but I

refused and you have no idea how much I blame myself because of that. One day, your father came to me crying as he pleaded with me to end his life because he hated the fact that he was hurting your mother. He said he could understand what was going on and he just needed the voices gone from

his head but of course I refused to

kill him and soon after, it was too late. He killed your mother, slit her throat and tore out her gut and only then did I notice that she had been carrying another child for him. He tried to kill you too but I wouldn't allow it and eventually when he came back to his senses, I watched

your father's world break down. Never in my life did I think I would ever see my brother who was once the most feared human hunter be reduced to nothing. He became a

shell of his former self, his eyes had no life in them at all and eventually before I could stop him, he killed

himself. I found the letter he had written before he killed himself and in that letter, he requested that he be

buried next to your mother and he gave me that pack address and

asked me to drop you off there because he knew I wouldn't be able to take care of you properly and at that time, I was still getting used to being a hunter leader and my father

blamed you and your mother for what happened to my brother so I had no other choice but to take you there. I broke the news to you and

for a five/ six year old, I didn't expect you to understand but you did. You cried for a whole day but the next day, you were blank. You didn't speak nor cry and I knew you must have somehow blocked out everything from your mind. After dropping you off, I promised myself I was going to come get you after I

had made a name for myself so I would be able to protect you when I brought you here and now, no one can challenge me like they did to

your father. In his letter, your father asked me to make you a leader when you're old enough and that's

what I'm going to do. I'm going to

honor his dying wish no matter what because I blame myself for what happened to him and this is the only way I can redeem myself"... Content
