Chapter 57
-DAMON-
“Arey you really serious about the divorce? Luca questioned as he stormed into my office hours later:
After I asked him to take Clara home, I stormed into my office because I didn’t want to be or see anyone. I was feeling all kinds of emotions at that moment but the most evident one was anger and hurt.
I was hurt by the fact that she hadn’t told me and was angry at the fact that she was barren.
“Yes, I have no use for her anymore. My father is going to make me Alpha King regardless and she can’t give me an heir so why be with her?” I muttered and he scoffed.
“Are you hearing yourself? Do you think she isn’t hurt by the fact that she can’t give you a child?” He uttered and I scoffed.
“And is that my f**g problem? She should have told me” 1 muttered.
“She was afraid to tell you because of your f**g reaction, Look at how you’re reacting now, her fears were valid. I know it’s a sad fact that she can’t give you an Heir but the way you’re acting isn’t right, Damon” He reasoned but I was too blinded by anger to see reason in his
words.
Instead, he just made me angrier.
“Get out before I make you regret the day you met me. I didn’t ask for your opinion or anyone else’s. Get out” I muttered through clenched teeth and he stared at me for a while before letting out a sigh and walking out of the office.
As soon as he was gone, I picked up a vase and threw it at the wall and it shattered to the floor. Was I the bad guy for acting this way? She knew the base of our contract with one another. She was meant to produce an heir for me but she knew all along that she couldn’t birth a child and yet agreed to the marriage? She deceived me!
As if on cue, my phone rang and a frown appeared on my face when I saw Clara’s name appear on the screen.
She called me several times but I didn’t pink up, I just watched it ring till she finally gave up.
“This is f**d up” I muttered to myself as I leaned back on the chair. I didn’t know when I fell asleep that night and was abruptly woken up by vigorous knocking on the door the next morning.
“Who the **k is it? I muttered irritatedly, angry at the fact that even in my dreams, she was all I could think about and her face when i said I wanted a divorce was hunting me.
“Everyone has gathered in the living room, they want to discuss what happened last night. Your father is requesting your presence” Luca uttered from behind the door and I scoffed.
“What the hell do they want to discuss? That I overreacted?” I muttered and he stayed quiet for a while before letting out a sigh.
“You’ll only find out when you get there” He uttered and I sat there for a while then sighed before standing up.
I walked out of the office and from a distance, I could hear them conversing with one another over the matter.
As soon as I walked into the living room, everyone went quiet as they turned to
1/2
me
“What is this meeting about? If you’re all here to take Clara’s side then I don’t want to hear it” i muttered and my mother shook her head.
“We all understand the severity of the matter and I’m very disappointed in Clara. She deceived you, she deceived all of us and it seems

Chapter 57
Alicia was right about her all along, she is a gold digger. She lied to you just so you could marry her” My mother uttered and I paused. I had expected such words from anyone else except her.
Everyone else seemed to agree with her words except Delilah and Luca who had frowns on their faces.
“We agree with your mother and believe it’s best if you find yourself another wife at least just so you can get an heir. You need a blood heir, Damon” My father added and before I could say a word, Delilah abruptly stood up from the couch with a groan.
“Listen to yourselves! Can’t you see Clara is the one suffering the most here? Mother you know the greatest joy for a woman is having kids and yet, you were the first to condemn her Delilah muttered and my mother frowned.
“She deceived your brother…”
“She loves him, Mother and I know everyone here knows she meant to harm. All Clara wants is a family, a home. It’s not her fault she’s barren. She called me last night and was crying her heart out to me and asking me not to hate her and yet you call her a gold digger? I’ve never been more disappointed in all of you, especially you, mother” Delilah uttered, earning a growl from father.
“You watch your tongue young lady” He scolded but Delilah ignored him as she walked
up
to me.
“She was so scared to tell
you because of how you’d react and you proved her right with your attitude. If you want to divorce her and find another wife then please do because I don’t want someone like her to stay in a home like this where she’s not wanted anymore” Delilah uttered then walked out of the room without looking back and we were all silent for a while as everyone let her words sink in.
“I’ll do whatever I see fit and I’ve said this several times without number, do not meddle in my personal life. If I decided to take another wife or to be with Clara then it’s my fucking choice. No one gets to dictate for me. If you’ll excuse me” I muttered then turned around and walked away.
As soon as I was out of the room, Luca caught up with me and walked beside me.
“Are you going to visit Clara? Have you changed your mind?” He questioned and I paused in my steps before turning to him.
“Pushing my feelings aside for Clara, I have a duty to uphold for this pack and the entire wolf race. I need a blood Heir, Luca and the fact still remains that she can’t give me that so what’s the use? Get the divorce papers ready and send them to my office and after I’ve signed them, send them to her….
