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
Clara's POVAfter we announced the names of the new warriors, Erik stated that there will be training early in the morning. Ian became busy gathering information about Klaus and was checking the warriors who are defending our borders, making sure that there are no traitors. Erik didn't want to suspect his pack but he wanted to make sure of better security.Angeline, my wolf, and I kept on practicing my powers so I won't pass out again. Even if it's for a little while, just enough to save me or anyone from a crisis. Feeling tired, I went out to my library and went downstairs to the kitchen. It became part of my daily basis to go and spend time with the pack in the kitchen. I became close to Lia, I later found out that Lia is Ian's mate. I was so surprised when Ian called her 'babe'. I've been here for months and I thought that he has no mate."Hi," I said as I entered the kitchen and as usual, they were at the long table bickering while eating. I've been eating breakfast with them ever
Hollow Angel Pack"Clara! Please be careful! Your father will kill me!" Klaus, who is standing below the tree, is scared that Clara will fall from the tree."Don’t worry! I’ll just pluck two apples for each of us!" Clara shouted from above the tree."Then you should have let me climb the tree!" Clara got two apples and was about to go down when she missed a step. Seeing Clara fall made Klaus panic, but he immediately moved to catch her. After successfully catching Clara, he sighed and put her down."See, you should have listened," Klaus said.Clara giggled and they walked to their favorite place to sit and observe the scenario. "You're about to turn 18," Clara said, starting the conversation."Yep, and I'll be traveling now."As she heard Klaus saying that he would leave the pack to travel, it made Clara feel lonely. Seeing Clara's face full of sadness, Klaus smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, I'll be back before you know it," he said, assuring Clara. "When I come back, I'll tell
Clara’s POVI ran through the forest, rushing to my mate’s side. My ears perked up at hearing my mate's voice, it seems that I am near. I looked around and saw clothes for me to wear, I went to change behind a tree and made my way to where the war will be held.Klaus saw me getting near and smiled at me, I just looked at Klaus. This is the first time that I am facing him properly after he killed my parents. The Klaus that I knew is gone, all I can see is a corrupted wolf, a rogue. “Why?” I asked Klaus when I passed through my pack members and joined Erik’s side. “Why? Because it seems fun” Klaus answered, uninterested in my question. My heart clenched hearing his answer, he was one of the werewolves that I trusted and cared for with all of my heart and it hurts that we are like this now. “My parents were good to you!” I said, letting all my emotions out. I’ve been holding back all of these feelings, now that I see Klaus standing in front of me, I couldn’t help myself but feel all t
"Merlin, tell me the truth. Did you kill our parents with your own hands on that day?" Tia asked Merlin. Even though she knows the truth, she still wants to hear from Merlin herself. "They were begging me not to kill you. In the end, they only thought of you," Merlin said with a serious look on her face. "You can build your clan. Why did it have to be ours?" Tia said, hoping for her sister to see the light, but Merlin just frowned at her. "Don't be ridiculous, and our clan has the blessing of the moon goddess! Do you think if I build my own, the goddess will give her blessing?!" Merlin explained, shouting at her sister and clenching her teeth. "Why are you so desperate? For using forbidden spells, look at yourself!" Tia said, trying to open her eyes to Merlin and making her understand that forbidden spells would only cause her harm. "Did you think I didn't know? That father plans to step down and make you the head clan!" Tia's eyes grew big, surprised at Merlin's words. His fath
Clara POV Seeing Klaus disappear like that made my knees weak, my knees gave out, and I am now on the floor, lying, my stomach facing the ground. He got away again, I thought. I raised my head and glanced at Erik, who was remorseful at what had happened. Throughout the war, we both felt links that kept breaking, signaling that someone from the pack had died. We always feel if someone went rogue or someone died unless we block it ourselves. Erik stares at the ground where Klaus was pinned down earlier. Sensing my gaze, Erik looked at me and started walking toward me. He crouched down, nuzzling me gently while sniffing my scent. I raised my head and looked at him from above, nuzzling my nose to his neck, making him ticklish for touching the marked place in his neck. "Let's go," Erik ordered in our pack link while looking around the warriors, even the fallen ones. I can feel through our mate-link the regret, disappointment, and pain he is feeling seeing his warriors down. "Are you
Clara's POV I suddenly woke up due to the nightmare that I had dreamt of. A dream from the incident, remembering what happened made me cry. I blocked all the links that were connected to me including my mate link with Erik. I cried, remembering the voices of my pack and parents who made it seem like it happened yesterday. When there were no tears for me to cry, I looked at the window and saw the sunlight peeking from the curtains. I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose. Why did I have to see that again? I looked at my trembling hands. I know that Erik is looking for some leads to where Klaus is at the moment. I trust him with all of my heart. No Clara, be strong, you need to be strong. I promised the grave of my parents that I will offer them the head of Klaus. Yes, I need to be strong. I looked at the side of Erik in our bed and caressed it, thinking that I should check up on him. He must have been so busy that he forgot to eat. I forced myself out of the bed and went to th
Erik’s POVVincent left some papers containing some information about the Alphas who are going to visit. Some of them are on their way and will arrive this evening. I lifted my head when I heard some knocking on the door, I fixed the papers and set them aside. “Come in,” I said. The door opened and I saw Tia enter. “I need to ask for permission,” She said, not wasting any time. She sat in the chair in front of my table. “Permission in what?” I asked, raising my brow. “You saw how my former place is, right?” I nod at her. I clearly remember her place when we went there. The forest was full of life and anyone would love to live there for sure. Clara was so amazed that she talked about it for days.“What about it?” I asked using my Alpha tone. “I’ll be doing it here. I’ll make your land my domain to strengthen my powers. I could have defeated her but because I just came here I cannot use my full power” She explained. I got confused at what she was telling me and I could only give h
