Erik's POV
"You have a sister?" I gave Vincent an I-Don't-Believe-You-Look. Vincent is my childhood friend and he's my Beta. He's actually asking for my permission to let his sister join our pack."She's my half-sister.""Half-sister? What do you mean? " I asked."Well, you know, my mother is not from here, right? She's from the Hollow Angel Pack. She falls in love with a guy who happens to be my father and has me. My mother and father broke up because they found their mates. You can guess the rest," he says with sadness in his voice.I didn't ask him anything. I think he really didn't want to talk about it, and Vincent is not the type who talks about his personal life."Okay, you can bring her here." I saw his face light up when he heard me approve."Thank you, Alpha." He bows his head and exits my office.When Vincent visited the Hollow Angel pack, he saw his sister crying. He saw his father and his wife lying on the floor, dead. He doesn't know the whole story. His sister only told him that rogues attacked him and her parents, and the pack protected her.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Clara's POVI stood as I heard someone knocking. I opened the door and saw my brother.My brother said, "Hey," when he saw me. I opened the door wide for him to come in.After we buried the dead bodies of my pack, he took me to Wild Peak Pack (their neighbor's pack). He left me here to ask his alpha to let me join their pack."Am I allowed to join them?" I asked my brother."Yes, so go pack your things. We'll just let one of our soldiers come and get it here." He gave me a smile. I nodded to him and gave him a smile as I started to pack my things."Well, I'll go talk to Alpha Roy. I need to thank him for letting you stay here for the night". He gave me another smile and exited the room as I started packing my things.~~"Thank you, Alpha, for letting me stay." I bowed at him."It's only for one night, so it's not a big deal. Okay, come back and visit us here. " He chuckled and gave me a hug. He turned to my brother and gave him a hug."Be safe," he said as we entered my brother's truck. I waved at Alpha Roy, and he waved back.He drove for 20 minutes as we reached his pack. I really don't like riding with my brother. He drives really fast. "Stay Here, Okay," he said as he shifted and ran through the woods.My wolf suddenly spoke and said, "Let's go to the forest. I want to look around.""Okay, but we can't shift," I replied to my wolf.I walked towards the forest and looked around. "Ooh! I smell flowers. Faster, faster! " I laughed at my wolf for getting excited. My wolf, Angeline, loves flowers. She's obsessed, actually.I ran and ran until I found a flower field. I stared at the flowers in awe. It's so beautiful. I sat and just stared at it. "It's the most beautiful thing we've ever seen in our lives.""Yeah," I replied. This was the first time we'd seen something so lovely. "I love this place," I said to Angeline, and she agreed.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Erik's POV"You should rest," my mom, Ellie, said."Yeah, I think you're right." I fixed the papers on my desk and exited my office. It's been a while since I visited that place. My favorite place in the world. It's actually where I cried and hid when my father and I fought. It's also a place where I can calm myself.I shifted and ran through the woods while holding a pair of pants with my fangs. As I ran, I sniffed an unfamiliar scent. It's not a rouge either. When I was near enough to the flower field, I saw a lady sitting, staring at the flowers. I shifted back and quickly got dressed.I walked toward her and cleared my throat to attract her attention. She looked behind me, slowly lifting her head, and I saw her cerulean-glass eyes. When our eyes met, my world stopped and I think I stopped breathing."MATE!" I was brought back to reality by my wolf. When I came back to my senses, I saw her smiling at me."Hi," she said.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Clara's POVWhile I was sitting, I heard something. I looked behind me and saw a man standing. I slowly lifted my head and just saw a handsome man with a fresh grassy green color swirling in his Atlantic blue eyes. His eyes are beautiful. Green-Blue eyes, blue. That's rare among wolves."Mate! Mate!" Angeline shouted. I was surprised, but then I smiled at him.I said to him, "Hi." In the blink of an eye, he's in front of me. He dropped down on one knee to level himself with me. I cupped one of his cheeks. He closed his eyes and welcomed the warmth of my hand as I welcomed the little sparks in my body.He sat beside me and we looked at the flowers. "I'm Alpha Erik Smith." My eyes widened in surprise. He's the alpha of the Silver Growlers. I smiled, "I'm Clara Lee." When he heard my name, he tensed."You're Vincent's sister," he said, with a shock on his face.I smiled, "Yes, I am." I quickly stood up as I remembered my brother."What's wrong?" He asks with a worried face."I remember my brother. He must be worried. ""Let's shift and ru-""No", I cut him off. "Let's take our time and walk", I smiled, and he smiled back.I can't shift. I can't shift here. It's too dangerous. My thoughts vanished when he took my hand. I looked at him and smiled. He's so perfect. I am so blessed with my mate.We took our time walking, talking, and getting to know each other. As we approached the house, it was huge. bigger than ours. I stared at the house in awe."This is the pack house. Behind this is where our house is located". He squeezed my hand."It's Perfect". I saw the relief on his face and squeezed his hand back.We entered the house, and I saw people staring at me and others who were whispering. Maybe they're curious because they saw their alpha holding my hand."MINE!" Erik shouted. The boys immediately turned away, scared of their alpha. The girls gasped in surprise. I just smiled at them and continued walking."Clara! Oh, God! I'm glad you're safe! " I saw my brother running towards us. He stopped when he saw Erik with me. He looked at our hands and smiled."You two are mates!" He hugged me and Erik. Erik laughed. They seemed pretty close. Well, Vincent is his beta, after all. I tensed when my brother turned to me.I mumbled, "Sorry." He just hugged me. "You know, I'm just worried, right?"I hugged him back as I quickly pulled away from him."Well, take care of my sister Erik, I mean it. Even though you are my Alpha, I won't hesitate to fight you if you try-""I won't hurt her, Vincent," Erik cut him off. My brother nods and walks away, saying he has the right to do so."I'm tired, Erik, I want to rest," I whined at Erik. Actually, I haven't had much sleep since that day. Erik squeezed my hands, sensing that I had become sad. I squeezed his hand back and smiled.Erik picked me up. There was this door that connected to our house. He took me upstairs. I believe it's his room because I smelled his scent all over. He placed me on the bed and removed my flip-flops. He also removed his shoes and lay beside me, wrapping his arms around me. I curled up at his side. He kissed my brow, and I fell asleep.Erik's POVI softly opened my eyes and spotted my little beautiful mate.I got up to bed slowly, careful not to wake her."Alpha, are you awake?" My third in command, Ian, mind-linked me."Yes""We smelled something and tried to find what or who it was. It was the rogues! And they're not ordinary rogues. They belong to the Raging Tail, from our enemy pack. ""Raging Tail? But they're gone! I killed their alpha a long time ago! " I clenched my teeth in anger."I know Alpha. I'm now attempting to learn more about them.""Good, take your time." This is why I picked Ian as my third in command. He knows what to do next. He's not like the others who don't think he's as good as Vincent, though. He's the best.I mumbled, "Raging Tail Pack." What do they want now?I walked towards my mate and laid beside her. I smelled her scent. It is the sweetest scent I ever smelled. As I was smelling her, I dozed off.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Clara's POVI woke up and found a handsome man sleeping beside me. I smi
Erik's POV"Now Speak," I told Ian."They attacked her pack for a reason, Alpha. I think they're lingering here on our territory because of Luna. I didn't have the chance to know the reason but I know that they are trying to get her""THEY CAN'T HAVE HER! NOT ON MY WATCH!" I shouted. My body is now filled with anger. They can't have her, not now, not ever. I'll never let them get her or even touch her. She's so precious to me.Let's kill them all, ErikI blocked my wolf in my mind. I didn't want to argue with my wolf right now. I want information first. I don't want to risk the lives of my fighters."Find any information about this case. I don't care how, just find as much information as you can, Ian.""I know Alpha. It's my job to keep our Luna safe". Standing up, Ian bowed and then exited the room.I need to talk to Clara about this but I don't want to push her. Her pack has just been killed and I don't want to make her sad by remembering what happened. Maybe I should just ask Vince
Clara's POVErik walks toward the stage, you can see the admiration the pack members have for him. Tapping the mic twice. He cleared his throat to gain everyone's attention."Good evening Everyone", Erik greeted the pack. I saw the pack bow their heads."After that incident, I have been alone. I managed to be where I am today because I have you guys, my pack. I have been leading you alone and I know that some of you are wondering if I'll ever find my mate, if not I'll have to force myself to do a contract marriage when force mating is done but fret now my pack!" Erik suddenly shouted the last words in his sentence which made me surprised. Erik stood there and looked at his pack members with warm eyes. After looking around his pack members he started to lift his hand that was holding the mic."Few of you know that I have found my mate and I am thrilled at this very moment to announce that I HAVE FOUND MY MATE!" He shouted the last part. After the crowd finished shouting and cheering th
Clara's POVAnd here I am enjoying the kisses he gives me. Am I ready for this?"Hmmm," I moan."Is it good my princess?" He said while kissing me from my neck down to my chest."Maybe" He stopped kissing me to look at me. I saw his eyes darken."It's not good to tempt me, my princess.""Am I tempting you?" I smiled at him.He immediately kissed me and here I am kissing him back.We were getting to the good part when "Erik!" We were interrupted by none other than my brother."What?" Erik answered. You can hear the irritation in his voice and I can see that he is trying hard to calm his wolf.My brother cleared his throat and fixed his posture. "Alpha, Rogue Attacks"Erik immediately changed his facial expression. The alpha mode is back on."Office" Erik. My brother then bows and then leaves. Erik then looked at me with the same facial expression."I'll talk to you later," Erik said using his alpha tone. I'm in awe of how hot he is while in the Alpha mode and it left me speechless for
Clara's POVI think it's time for us to tell our mateYes, sweety, I think It's time.We need to tell him what happened and why my old pack got killed. When we woke up this morning, Vincent Mind-linked Erik and told him that someone had been killed in our pack. We rushed to where the killing was done and saw blood marks. It said IT'S A WARNING.Klaus survived and escaped. How? Ian killed him!That's when I realized that I needed to tell this Erik. Someone from his pack got killed and he doesn't know the reason why, while I know the reason.Full of resolve. I rushed to Erik's office and slowly opened the door. There I saw him sitting behind his desk massaging his temples. He looked so tired in just a short time.I knocked and he looked at me. He smiled, motioning me to come near him."Hey, Babe," I told him while approaching him."What's wrong my princess?" Erik asked. I saw the worry in his eyes. I don't know if it's a worry for me or his pack. I feel guilty even more.Hugging him whi
Clara's POVAfter what happened yesterday, Erik didn't push me that night. When I confessed that I was the next Queen, he just hugged me and whispered My Queen. I let it all out that night when he said that. I cried until I don't have any tears left. He's just too good to be true. I love him and because of that night, I know that I'll be happy again.I came back to reality when I heard someone shouting. We are in the office of Erik to talk about what happened yesterday. Nobody asked about what I did they still treated me like before."Why is he alive, Ian?!" My mate Erik shouted at Ian. I touched Erik's hand for him to calm down."I don't know, I swear I killed him, Alpha," Ian said.WitchesWhat?I said they teamed up with Witches."Witches Erik" Everyone looks at me with surprised faces. Even if they give me those looks I am surprised myself. There is always a time when Angeline will just whisper a voice like she doesn't want anyone to hear what she was about to say. I didn't confro
Clara's POV"I'm scared ""Me too, but we have to trust our mate," Angeline said."I'm scared of that too." I know that I should trust my mate, I do. I do trust him, of course, it's just that I'm scared that if I trust him so much it will end up again like last time."Don't be scared, we will always be together" Angeline replied after a long silence."I know. You are me and I am you", I replied. Hearing these words always calms me down. It's our line, our chant for everything."Yes. We will always be one.""Babe?"I was startled by the sudden voice and saw Erik peeking at the door. I smiled at him and signaled him to come in. Erik walked toward me and I instantly hugged him. "What's wrong?" I asked."Your brother mind-linked me earlier and he said he got something about Tia."I stiffened at the name. I didn't expect him to find things about the witch who survived and was in hiding for a decade already. "Let's go," I said.Erik's POV"Let's go"There it is, her sudden change of tone. A
Clara's POV"Let's start shall we?"Erik smiled at us and motioned us to sit, but I walked towards him and stood beside him while we were facing Ian and my brother Vincent."Vincent, I want you to rest but we need to talk to Tia and my gut is telling me that this mission is for you", Erik ordered. I was confused about what Erik said, that it was like he was excited for Vincent, but on the other hand, my brother was about nervous."You scared bro?" I mind-linked Vincent. When he turned to me looking shocked, I smirked at him."Shut up Clara"And I think I should stop teasing him. He looked more scared now."Can you Vincent?" Erik asked when Vincent was not responding. Ian looked nervously at Vincent."Yes, of course, alpha" Vincent answered with a straight face and excused himself from the meeting."Protect her""Yes, of course, Angeline, we will protect her because we need her.""It's not me""What?"Angeline then blocked me out. Again, it's not her."Who are you?"I whispered in my h
