Chasing the rejected luna’s heart - Chapter 182: Chapter 182

~DELILAH ~
Clara placed her hand on my shoulder as we walked back to the entrance. I let out a suggestion as I stared up at the sky.
The Queen of witches had been totally unhelpful but at the same time, I had felt the sincerity In her voice when she said there wasn't any other way.
Why did it have to be Luca though? Why now?
"I feel like this is all my fault. If I had known..."
"There was nothing you could have done in that state, Clara and it's not your fault. According to the story, Luca's mother had been a vessel as well so no matter what, he would have gotten the mark" I murmured before letting out another sigh.
Clara wrapped her arms around me.
"We'll find a solution to this. There has got to be another way around it. Don't worry, everything is going to be fine" She assured me and I nodded. Everything was going to be fine but no matter what. I couldn't lose hope yet.
"If you really love your husband then you'll let him come here and let us help him. Eventually, no one will be able to handle him when he loses his mind so before that happens, let him come here" We turned to the voice and the witch that had led us inside was standing in front of us.
I frowned as I stared at her.
"I'm not letting my husband come here. Not now, not ever so I suggest you mind your business and we won't have any problems" I told her and she glared at me.
For some reason, this witch was really getting on my nerves.
We got to the entrance and immediately we stepped outside, the gate disappeared and so did the witch.
"Clara" Damon Called out as he walked towards us and wrapped his arms tightly around Clara.
"I was about to barge my way in there to get you" He murmured as he placed a kiss on her cheeks.
"And me if you care" I added and he rolled his eyes.
"What did the witches say? Any luck?" He asked and Clara glanced at me before shaking her head.
"They told us the same thing they told you guys. What do we do now? Isn't There a way to torture the cure out of them?" Clara asked and we both turned to yer with wide eyes.
We both knew Clara as someone who hardly resulted to violence.
"If that's what you want, I'll have no trouble torturing some witches" He replied and I rolled my eyes.
"No one is going to be torturing any witches. We need to go back home and re-strategize. I need to read More on this damn Ancestors' mark" I told before walking towards the car.
They got in soon after and immediately, we headed back to the pack. I tried sleeping but my Mind wasn't settled at all. What could I do to help him?
After a while, I dozed off a little and was awakened by Clara's soft touch.
"We are here" She said softly And I groaned before throwing the time. We arrived at exactly three o'clock in the afternoon.
"You're lucky Clara is here. I would have left you in here" Damon muttered and I rolled my eyes at him before getting into the car.
Dimitri, my mother and Luca were Inside Damon's house with the kids so we all just headed there.
"Mama! Papa!" Hunter and Haven yelled as they ran towards Clara and Damon. Clara grabbed onto Hunter while Damon grabbed onto Haven.
"Oh I missed both of you" Clara gushed As she kissed their faces. I smiled then kissed both of them on the check before walking away to find my child.
I caught sight of her with my mother and immediately Mia's eyes landed on me, she clapped happily and reached out for me.
"You're back" My mother said as she handed Mia to me with a smile.
"Yes And I missed my baby so much. I hope she didn't cause too much trouble" I said to her and she shook her head.
"No, she played with her cousins but was mostly with Luca. He's resting in one of the guest rooms now and Dimitri just left. He said he had something to take care of. I made some food so let's eat together" She stated with a smile then placed a kiss on my cheek.
We walked out of the kitchen and schedule immediately went to wrap her arms around Damon who tried so hard not to push her away because of the warning eye Clara was giving him.
Damon's relationship with our parents had greatly improved which i was happy about but He didn't still like physical touch and mushy stuff unless it was from Clara.
We all ate dinner and after putting Mia to bed, I headed over to Damon's library. I needed more information on the ancestors' mark and see if there was some kind of loophole.
I paused as soon as I walked into the library. Standing In the middle of the room was Luca.
"Luca? I thought you were asleep" I uttered as I walked towards him. He didn't turn towards me or even acknowledge my presence which I found odd but nevertheless, I walked towards him and was about to grab his shoulder when he suddenly turned around and I gasped when I saw how pitch black his eyes were.
"Lu..." Before I could complete my sentence, he grabbed onto my back and slammed me hard against the wall.
I struggled to breath as I grabbed onto his arm but with each passing second, he tightened his hold on my neck with a devilish look on his face.
"Lu..."
"Shut up!" He thundered before throwing me across the room. I hit my back against the shelf of books before falling to the floor, coughing out blood.
"Lu..." He grabbed me again by the neck then slammed me against the shelf before sticking his claw into my chest, just below my heart.
My eyes widened as pain coaxed through my body.
"Shut up. Stop talking to me, shut up!" He screamed in my face and at that moment,I realised he saw me as someone else.
I reached out and grabbed his face while staring directly into his eyes.
"My love" I choked out and almost immediately, the devilish look on his face disappeared, replaced by pure dread.
"Del... Delilah?" He called out and I nodded before spitting out blood.
He immediately pulled out his hand from my chest and moved away like my presence alone burnt him. He fell To the floor as he crawled to a corner as he tugged at his hair and cried.
"Oh goddess, what have I done? What have I done?!" He kept chanting As he stared at me with a pained expression.
"It's okay Luca, I'm okay" I murmured softly as he walked towards me.
"Don't come near me! Stay away!" He yelled as he shifted closer to the wall. Tears streamed down my eyes as I watched him. I placed my hand over my mouth to stop myself from crying out loudly.
I've never seen him this broken before
"Luca..." I trailed off as soon as he pulled out a gun from his pocket and aimed it at his head.
"Luca no!"...
