"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
Third Person's POVIt was announced that the visitors had come. They were waiting for the newly born royals to show themselves at the hall. Tia, the witch, came down first the stairs, and with a flick of her fingers, a speck of gold was raining down on the stairs. Everyone was amazed, especially the visitors. They were even more surprised that the rumors of the Silver Growlers pack gaining a witch was true. They became nervous at the sight, anxious that the royals would reject them. Vincent, the pack's beta, cleared his throat to gain everyone's attention, then went down the stairs and bowed. Seeing the beta bend made everyone follow his actions. Clara and Erik walk down the stairs, Erik holding Clara's hand to support her from going down the stairs. The visitors can't help but take a peek and raise their heads. The royals released their aura, and the whole werewolves that were present were stunned. They instantly understood who it was, their rulers. Instead of bowing, they crouched
Erik's POV As we entered our room after the meeting, I immediately grabbed Clara's waist for her to be near me. I hugged her from behind and started tracing my nose where I marked her. She giggled and broke the hug to face me. "We have visitors," She said, trying to sound stern. "I can't help it, my love. You look so beautiful in that gown," I said, stating the obvious. I kissed her passionately, and she locked her arms around my neck, opening her mouth to give me access. I deepened the kiss immediately when she opened her mouth and grabbed her waist to get her closer to me. When our kiss became more intense, I tore her gown, and she gasped. She playfully punched me on the shoulder and giggled. I carried her bridal style and laid her down on our bed. I removed my upper clothing and kissed her hungrily. I caressed her body until my fingers reached her stomach. I tore her underwear and touched her womanhood to make her wet."Eeerik," Clara moaned my name. Hearing her moan, my name ar
Clara's POVI woke up still feeling dizzy. I looked around and remembered that I had rushed to my library earlier. "Are you busy, love?" I mind-linked Erik. I was hoping that we could eat lunch together. "A little. Why what's wrong?" He asked. Worry is evident in his voice. "Want to eat lunch with you," I said. "I won't be finishing this work until late afternoon, sweetheart." I felt dejected, it's been a while since we ate together, so I was hoping we could eat lunch today. "How about we have a dinner date? Hmm?" He added. My feeling of loneliness changed into excitement. "Of course!" I said. I was not hiding the fact that I was happy at his invitation. I felt Erik being relieved, and I giggled. "I'll tell you when you have to get ready," He said. I stood up from my sofa and went to the kitchen. I saw Angela chatting with Melissa, sitting at the long table. "Hi, what's for lunch?" I asked, sitting beside them. Melissa gave me a plate, and Angela served me some food."Melissa m
Clara's POV"How dare you betray us! I took you in, and this is how you repay me?!" My father shouted. Klaus walked around and then stopped to look at my father. He smirked, "Took me in? As a what? As a servant?" Klaus scoffed and spit at my father. My father growled at him while my mother was in front of me, protecting me. "Mom, What's happening?" I asked, sobbing. "Shh, baby, everything will be alright. Your father and I will protect you no matter what," She said, wiping off my tears that kept falling. My mother then faced Klaus, standing in front of the rogues. "Servant?! I treated you like a son!" My father retorted back. I kept staring at Klaus, looking at any signs that he was possessed, but no matter how long I looked, It is him. Klaus laughed at my father and laughed at what he said. "Stop joking around," Klaus said, trying to stop his laughter. "Tell me, Klaus, what is your purpose?" My father asked with sincerity in his voice. "Nothing much, It's just your daughter," Kl
Clara’s POV“This may sound insensitive but did you already accept the fact that your child is,” Ellie said but didn’t finish her sentence. “I already did but Erik doesn’t,” I said softly. Ellie looked at me with a sad expression. I smiled at her and looked down at my hands that were resting on the table.“He still looks for our child, he tries to hide it but it was pretty obvious and I just stayed quiet,” I said sadly at Ellie. “Maybe because you still have some hope within you that your child is alive,” Ellie said. “Maybe, but I do believe he is gone and I accepted that already,” I said and Ellie rushed to my side to hug me. I didn’t even notice that I was already crying. Ellie hugged me while she was standing. Smelling and feeling her warmth reminded me of my mother and I cried until no tears were left for me to cry. “You’ve been through a lot and I thank you for not giving up” Ellie whispered and touched my head. “It was really hard” I sobbed and whined to Ellie like a five-y
Erik's POV"Still no news?" I ask Vincent, who is sitting across from me at my table at my office. Clara and I decided to accept what happened to our child, but I still couldn't give up. I will look for him as long as I want to. "No, your majesty, still have no news," he said and put the rest of my paper works on my table. "The members and family of Alpha Louis requested for them to join Silver Growler's pack as a royal guard," Vincent asked, and I looked at him with a confused look."Why are you telling me this?" I asked while slumping my back into my chair."Huh?" Vincent asked, confused at my words."What, huh? Why are you asking me that? You are the Alpha of the pack, not me. It's your decision, so why are you asking me?" I spoke.Vincent replied with a surprised look, but he immediately masked it. "Yes, your majesty," He replied sheepishly and hid his smile. I just shook my head and returned my focus to my paper works. "Well then, I will take my leave and handle Alpha Louis's
Third Person’s POVThe warriors are still out there searching for their royal highness. Clara didn’t change. She was still like a living doll, and she didn’t protest when Erik brought her back to their room and slept together. Clara’s daily life was like any other werewolf, waking up, eating, and sleeping. She was just locked up in the room, looking outside the window. Even her closest aides, like Angelina and others, talked to her, but she didn’t respond. She was looking, Erik even brought her to the place where they first met, and Clara stood there staring at nothing. On the other hand, Erik still faces anyone with an emotionless face. It was as if he didn’t care about anything else. Even if he was talking and eating with Clara, he was still emotionless. They were not drifting apart like the last, but they were already breaking apart. The she-wolves omega cleaned and changed Clara, who was like a precious doll to them at the time. Erik manages the country like before. If Clara is a
Third Person’s POVErik and Vincent rushed to where Clara was but didn’t know that they were far away from where they were. They ran non-stop to get where Clara was, especially Erik, he kept feeling Clara’s emotions, and they got stronger. The fear he felt through their mate link made him so nervous, and he was so worried that he thought he would lose Clara again if he were late for the second time. Erik didn’t want to go through that pain again. He kept on gritting his teeth in frustration that Vincent, beside him, also felt nervous just by looking at his King’s expression.In an hour, they saw Clara standing and growling lowly at someone. Erik was surprised to know they were at the corner of the territory. He saw Merlin holding his child in her arms at the cliff's end, and he immediately understood what Clara was feeling. Clara was frustrated. She wanted to kill Merlin so badly but couldn’t move. One wrong move and they could lose their child this time. Seeing that Erik and Vincent
Erik's POVDamn that black magic of his. If he is a werewolf, he should fight like one. "It is tiring to be on guard for his magic and aura simultaneously," Liam snarled."I agree, but I can see that he is more dependent on his magical powers," I replied and continued avoiding every spell that Alpha Roy cast. "Tell me, Alpha Roy, why did you betray your long-time friend and us? You even tortured and killed your cousin," I said and waved my claw at the rock he kept throwing."Why, you say?" Alpha Roy replied while tilting his head. "It's because he keeps trying to get what is supposed to be mine! I am the chosen one, not him or you!" Alpha Roy shouted and started casting ice spells. "Come on! Now, it's ice? Ice spear at that!" Liam complained in my head, and I just decided to ignore him. We aren't going anywhere if I keep on avoiding. My powers are not compatible with magic. Tia should be the one who is here fighting that traitor. "What am I saying? I keep on complaining about stu
Erik's POVI used my power to strengthen the warriors so we could run faster than our usual speed. On our way to the territory, we saw countless dead bodies of the rogues. Judging by the coldness of the bodies, it was about two to three hours that they were dead. If Clara has been fighting for hours, she will not last long. Clara's power is tremendous. Even if we completed the mating process so that our power became one, she still couldn't control some of the powers she got as the vessel of the moon goddess. Also, she grew weak because of her pregnancy and abduction. I also noticed that she got stronger when she returned, but her body was weak and not fully recovered. "We will fasten up the pace," I said to Vincent, and he nodded. When we arrived at the Wild Peak pack's territory, the battle had already started, and we heard Clara's howl. At that instant, we all knew we couldn't wait any longer. My warriors rushed inside the territory without giving orders and killed all the werewol
Erik's POVSurprisingly, Clara leaned into my touch when we were watching the basement burn, but she coldly left my touch after that. I couldn't understand how much Clara sank, but I knew she was barely keeping it in. I have been thinking about my next moves, I want to avoid making the same mistake twice, but this time it is hard for me to sink it in. "You know where that basement leads to" Clara's words replayed in my mind. I know what I have to do, I have respected and adored him, but now, all of it seems so fake. With Clara's face lingering in my mind, my decision is final. Even if we drifted apart, she is still my soulmate. The ride back to the pack house of Alpha Kyle is quiet and bumpy. Clara didn't go back with us and decided to run around. "She is keeping her distance from us after our touch," Liam said, and I agreed. I don't know if she was embarrassed or angry at herself for falling into our link, but I don't care. Feeling her lean into my touch is enough for me to think
Erik’s POVI was surprised and happy that Clara asked me to come with her. I don’t know where she plans on going, but I am delighted that she talked to me and we spent time together, even if it’s a little. After our encounter, I went straight to the office and met the couple.“Your majesty,” they greeted, and I nodded at them. Alpha Kyle left his seat for me to have a sit. “What’s new?” I asked.“Her highness asked me to send someone back to Alpha Louis’s territory to look for a big tree,” Alpha Kyle reported, and I looked at him with confused looks. “I see. Also, send a message back to the main pack, asking Luna Tia to come here,” I ordered, and Alpha Kyle nodded at me. “Any other news?” I asked, hoping they had managed to find clues about the enemy’s whereabouts. “There are suspicious movements near the Wild Peak pack, your majesty. Numerous rogues have been sighted there,” Alpha Kyle said.“Investigate the packs around that territory,” I replied, and Alpha Kyle looked at me nerv
Third Person’s POVThe old man, currently sitting on his throne, was waiting for the rogues to bring him one of the prisoners that had escaped. The door creaked open, and two rogues dragged Alpha Louis hand in hand. Alpha Louis was drenched in blood and was satisfied that his queen had escaped. No, he can die peacefully. The rogues threw Alpha Louis on the ground when they got near the old man. “You, sneaky bastard!” The old man shouted at Alpha Louis.“Hahaha, what’s wrong? You look so anxious,” Alpha Louis said while smirking at the old man. The old man hurriedly gets down from his throne and stomps at Alpha Louis. “I spared your life, and this is how you repay me?!” The old man shouted at Alpha Louis and continued kicking the Alpha, who was dying.When Alpha Louis didn’t feel any kicking and heard the old man going back to his so-called throne, he pushed himself for him to sit on the floor. He spat some of his blood and glared at the old man. “I’ve been telling you from the start
