Clara's POV
And 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 a second. "This is not a good time, Clara," I said to myself and shook my head to wake myself up.
When he was about to leave, I grabbed his shirt. "I'll come", I smiled. Erik then took my hand and we started walking toward his office.
My protector, Ian the third in command, and my brother Vincent are now facing us. Erik is sitting behind his desk while I'm behind him touching him from time to time to help him calm down.
"Why are rogues inside my territory?!" Erik shouted. I immediately touched his shoulder for him to calm down.
"We captured one alpha, the others are dead," Ian said.
"Raging Tail" Erik whispered.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Erik's POV
"Raging Tail" I whispered.
What do they want now? It's been years since I destroyed that pack and they've been allowing rogues that killed my mate's pack to join them! What is their connection? There must be a connection that even Clara don't know about.
"They must be up to something, find out what it is". I commanded them. I need to be on full allert.
"We are currently interrogating the rouge that we captured alpha" Vincent replied.
"I'm going to the basement in a minute, dismissed"
They bowed and left. I now turned to my beautiful mate. "Stay here okay? I'll just go down and see who dared to trespass on our territory" I said to her not hiding my rage.
"No, I'll come. I also want to know." She smiled. She's like an angel at the same time as she's fierce. She's strong, kind, and caring, sometimes scary. I don't know how to describe her, I don't know why but there is something about her that makes me feel scared.
"Okay sweety, let's go together." I just smiled at her and she smiled back.
~~~~~~~~~~~
We are heading towards the basement when we heard some shouting. "Who sent you here!" I heard Ian shout.
"Your mother!" The rogue shouted back and Ian immediately punched him in the jaw. Ian asked again and again who sent him. "IT'S YOUR MOTHER!!!!" The rogue shouted back saying it's your mother. He keeps mentioning Ian's mother and I'm afraid that Ian can't hold his rage any longer.
I walked in front of him. "You keep on mentioning his mother, why, are you perhaps jealous?" I said to the rogue and the rogue just smirked at me.
Clara's POV
"You keep on mentioning his mother, why, are you perhaps jealous?" Erik said. When Erik walked towards the rogue I followed him closely from behind. When we were in front of the rogue I was shocked to see who it was.
Why? W-why is he here? It's them. How dare he?!
"Step aside," I said to Erik. I ordered the Alpha to step aside like I'm challenging his authority. I saw Erik's shocked face but walked past him to face the rogue. Judging by the look on Erik's face, I know my aura changed.
"Klaus," I said to the rogue. He looked up and smirked.
"Your highness" he mockingly bowed. "We've come to take you back." After hearing him saying that he'll take me back I couldn't control my anger any longer and let my aura out and let Klaus feel suppressed.
"You won't have a chance. That won't happen here and will never be!" I spit at him and turned around to face Erik.
I smiled and ordered him, "Kill him". And then I walked away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Erik's POV
"You won't have a chance. That won't happen here and will never be!" When she shouted that, I had this urge to kneel before her and it was confusing. At that instant when we felt her killing intent I got goosebumps. Both Ian and I got suppressed in instant. What is this? I've never felt this before even facing the authority of my father.
She then looked at me and walked past me. She stopped not too far from behind. "Kill him", she ordered and walked away.
Ian looked at me and I nodded. He instantly killed the rouge "Vincent, office" Vincent's reaction is telling me that this is not the first time she saw it.
"Yes Alpha". He bowed and I followed Clara.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I opened her library and saw her staring far away at her window and she had this dark look on her face. I don't know how to approach her.
"Hey, babe," I said and hugged her from behind. She then faced me and hugged me back. I feel her breath. She's inhaling my scent. I think it's for her to calm down.
"I'm okay", she whispered. I want to ask her what that is all about but, I know better. I know it's not the time and I want her to say it without me, asking.
"Hmm," I hummed and kissed her head.
~~~~~~~~~~~
"He called her your highness," I said to Vincent.
"I'm sorry, Erik, it's not my place to tell," Vincent said with a sad look on his face.
"Hmm, before it happened. What kind of person is your sister? I kinda sensed something about her when we were in the basement"
"She's kind, like pure kind. She's innocent all over", Vincent replied with a far-away look on his face.
"B-but now? I too know that something has changed. I'm his brother, but because of our situation I don't know her whole story, y'know" Vincent said.
"You may take a rest, Vincent," I said. He smiled and left. I don't want to push it. The way he talked is too much for me to handle. It's just sad.

Clara's POV
It's them
We need to be careful, my wolf said.
Yes, I know
We need to tell our mate
No sweety, not yet
"Honey?" I turned around and smiled at him. Thank GOD he gave me a mate like this.
Erik hugged me and kissed me on my forehead when he came close to me. "Let's go to sleep?" He said while giving me small kisses on my neck.
"Sure darling, this night is too tiring" I replied while enjoying his kisses.
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
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.
