Clara's POV
I think it's time for us to tell our mate
Yes, 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 while sitting and burying his head in my arms. Erik inhaled my scent like we haven't seen each other for years. I caressed his head and let him inhale my scent even more. When I felt that he was already relaxed, I gathered some courage and started to talk. "I think it's time for us to talk. Can you mind-link Vincent? I need my brother for this."
He lift his head and looked me in the eye. I gave him my sweetest smile. He nodded and called Vincent. After a few minutes, my brother arrived. He smiled at me and kissed my head when he approached me.
Erik's POV
When Clara said talk I knew she was going to tell me what happened. Clara walked through the window and looked at the sky.
"Babe, did you know the prophecy about the royalties" Clara said. I looked at Clara, confused, but I just nodded and she smiled.
"There's this royal pack who produces the king and queen. Years have gone by, and no queen or king was being born. After the pack can't produce new kings and queens, they changed their pack's name. Thousand of years went by until suddenly the elders got a vision, a prophecy about a royal. The elders said that the new Queen would come without its king. Then who will be our king? Our Queen's Mate" In that time, when werewolves come of age and can't find their mate after a year they will be mated to someone else. Force mating is the reason why all the royals are born in the pack. They also don't accept outsiders but now it's different.
"Yes babe, what about it?" I asked Clara. That's the story my grandma told me every night.
"I am--" Clara didn't have the chance to finish what she was saying when someone suddenly shouted. "ROGUES!" We heard shouting about rogues outside and I rushed outside.
Clara's POV
"I am-- "ROGUES!" When we heard someone shouting outside, Erik rushed outside and I followed him.
While I was running outside, I couldn't hear any noise and everything was quiet. When I arrived outside, I saw the rogues and instantly knew that they are the ones who killed my pack and from that moment I knew I changed. Angeline went wild after seeing the rogues and I let her take control. I let my wolf take over me and howled.
I let my aura out and didn't control my killing intent. I growled and continued to growl as I approach them. My pack members made way for me to approach them.
"Well, look who we have here. Hello, Your Highness" He mockingly bowed. "I missed those pretty golden eyes of yours"
Hearing his voice made me and Angeline even angrier. I can't suppress my anger anymore I let all my aura out and everyone was suppressed. Blinded with rage I didn't bother to control I let it all out. Klaus and his pack are trying hard to fight back. They were fighting back against the force thinking they can fight it back and stand. Seeing them fight back made me even angrier and directed my killing intent to them until they couldn't fight back anymore while my pack members submitted instantly.
I heard someone whine and when I looked in that direction I saw Erik on the ground looking at me. You can tell by the way he looks at me that he is worried that all he wants is to be here beside me. I calmed down and suppressed my aura. When Erik felt that the force was gone he stood up and went to look for a robe. When I saw him walking toward me holding a robe I shifted back. Erik immediately put the robe around me and I tied the robe. When I finished fixing my robe I faced Klaus again. Erik then moved in front of me protecting me from any harm that is in front of us. I was trying my best not to faint in front of our enemies and I don't want to worry Erik as it is. As expected, my body still can't handle that much power, especially since I'm still not marked.
I pulled myself together and face Klaus like nothing was wrong. "What do you want, Klaus," I asked him.
"As I said, I have come to take my queen back," he said.
"Who is that queen, I guess," I said sarcastically.
He answered back, "I don't know either" He smirked. "Well then your highness, I'm just passing by. I'll take you back soon, my Queen" He mockingly bowed and vanished.
Erik was about to run after them but I grabbed his arm asking for support. Erik seeing me gasping for air like I ran ten miles got worried and carried me into the pack house.
Erik's POV
"Mind Link me if you find them", I shouted and ordered my pack to find him and his minions.
Vincent, where is she?
I can't find her either.
When I saw Clara become that weak I rushed him to our bed. I was about to bring her to our pack doctor but Clara insisted on just resting in bed when I came back after cleaning up after what happened earlier Clara vanished. There is one place that I haven't checked. I rushed to Clara's library and saw her by the window looking far ahead.
I found her
Be easy on her Erik
I know
I slowly walked towards her, when she sensed that I was behind her she turned around and looked at me. I stopped and waited for her to talk. She closed her eyes for a moment and said,
"I'm that Queen Erik and you, my mate, will become my King"
I was speechless.
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
Clara's POVI woke up, and hearing some voices in my head made me feel dizzy. I need to get used to this, and it was not like this when I was in the Hollow Angel pack. Maybe because I'm a Luna now?*sighed*Not seeing Erik in bed made me feel dejected, but I'm feeling in our link that he is stressed right now. I made my way to our bathroom to fix myself. After making sure I looked okay, I went straight to his office only to see him sighing.Erik saw me and smiled, but you could see in his eyes that he was feeling down. I also saw Melissa sitting in front of Erik. What did these two talk about that made Erik feel down while Melissa was full of worry?"Well, I'm off. I'll talk to you again about this matter soon." Melissa walked toward Erik and gave him a little hug. She then faced and walked toward me. "You should invite me for coffee. Our Luna," Melissa said while smiling. After that, she left in Erik's office. I made my way to Erik and hugged him. I can feel his sadness in our mate l
"The trees are quiet, indeed," Erik said while observing the forest. We are here in the mountains where Tia is living. We were about to send Vincent and Ian to try and talk to Tia to come in the pack but thinking of how nervous Vincent we decided to go and look ourselves. We asked Ellie, Erik's mom, together with Ian, to look after the pack while we were gone. Klaus has been quiet for the last couple of weeks, so we decided to make a move now."Where is it, Vincent?" I asked my brother. "It was here, but I can't pinpoint the exact location, not like last time," He answered while looking and sniffing around.I also looked around and saw branches of trees being swept by the wind while there were trees that didn't move. I followed the trees that had no movement, and I was getting deeper into the forest when it was getting harder to breathe."Angeline, do you find something?" I asked Angeline when I felt she was awake, and she was so focused."Go further to the right." I followed Angeline
I'm standing in front of the house that Tia had made in an instant with my mouth wide open. I would never have imagined that a house would be built with a finger flick."Babe?" Erik asked, and I shook myself to come back to reality.Tia entered the house, followed by my brother. Vincent looks so docile in front of Tia while Tia tries her best to ignore my brother. I facepalmed when I saw how my brother acted.The house is beautiful, and you can feel that it's warm and cozy. We all sat down. Erik and I sat side by side while Tia was sitting in front of us. Vincent sat down beside Tia, but she moved to a single couch beside me. When Vincent saw Tia move, he pouted at Tia and tried to suppress my laughter. Tia sighed at Vincent's reaction and then faced us."So, what can I do to you?" Tia asked."We are preparing for war against a pack of rogues, and we want to recruit you to our pack to face Merlin," Erik said, showing his authority as an Alpha."Straight to the point, are we?" Tia smir
We are now riding Erik's Chevrolet truck. I sit beside Erik, who is currently driving, while the two are in the back.I glanced at Erik, stroked his shoulder lovingly, and slumped back in my seat.I didn't know how many hours had passed, but we had just entered Alpha Roy's pack. Looking out the car window, I remembered when I first came here. At that time, I couldn't think of anything at that moment that Alpha Roy called me a living doll. Meeting Erik made me feel alive again, that I could still meet someone I could trust."Should we rest first, or let's go straight home?" Erik looked in the rear-view mirror to see Vincent and Tia from behind."Let's go straight to the pack. I'm excited to see your pack, Mr. Alpha," Tia replied to Erik, smirking. Erik shook his head in disbelief. He started the car and was about to drive when Alpha Roy showed me on my side. Leaning into the window, He smiled at Erik and then looked at me."Clara?" Alpha Roy said, full of excitement in his voice."Yes.
I slept like a sloth when we came back from our trip. I went to bed early and just woke up late in the morning. I stretched my arms, hoping to find my mate beside me, but to my disappointment, he was gone already. He must be busy; I hope there are no problems when we are gone. Feeling down, I forced myself to get up from bed and went straight to the bathroom.I removed my clothes and put them in our laundry. Still feeling sleepy, I forced myself to walk to the shower. I forgot to turn on the shower heater, so I was surprised when the water dripped into my skin. The coldness of the water made me fully awake now. After cleaning myself, I wiped myself and wore my robe. While walking toward the wide mirror above our sink, I wondered if Vincent had marked Tia already. I am curious if there will be some changes to Tia. Men are so possessive when it comes to their mates. Erik is also like that but has self-restraint. I always see his wolf surface from time to time; I wondered if there was a
