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
Erik's POVI am now at the office finishing some paperwork before going down to the training grounds to train my warriors myself. I was disappointed at what happened earlier at the hunting grounds. Moreover, how can they let rogues linger on our land giving the hunters a hard time? Is it intentional or is there some kind of trick that we can't even know that rogues are in the territory? Thinking about this is useless, I should prepare for the worst. I signed a document for the last time and slumped my back to my chair."Training grounds, now" I mind-linked Ian, ordering him to go to the training grounds. Ian is my gamma, the third in command, the general, and the one who is responsible for training the pack warriors. I don't want to blame him but it is his responsibility to see to it that the warriors are acting like warriors."Understood, Alpha" Ian replied. I stayed seated for a few more minutes and made my way to the training grounds. Clara was asleep when I changed but now I know
