Klaus Pov
"You here me? , I won't let you go "
The voice is blurred, I can't feel my body. I tried to open my eyes but they are too numb to act to my command.
I want to reassure her that I'm fine that she doesn't have to worry too much.
Her mind is easy to reach with her guard down .
I peek in to her mind , wanting to tell her that it's all ok. Memories of my almost death struck me hard.
It's Arla who pulls me out to the coral from the pool of death. Along with me Vivan is also pulled out, Arla and Thamethebella trying hard to wake us. Vivan opens his eyes puking all over himself. Arla calling the moon, begging her to save my life.
Finally she swims back to the boat carrying me on her back. Her pain is too much , her fear of loosing me , her love too great it hurts her so much yet never once she shed a tear.
Calling the healers , asking the moon to help, she's doing what is needed to be done. Then again that is exactly how she survived so far, doing what is needed to be done!
A vision showed by the moon, she hasn't told anyone, just keeping it to herself.
"A beautiful she wolf is running as if her life depended on it. Four wolves running after her, wanting to claim her as theirs against her will. She's asking for moon's help. Suddenly another she wolf identical to the first one joins her. But her frame is much smaller. That she wolf distracts the male wolves and they start to chase her instead. It's too animalistic to watch as they all force themselves on her, with her cursing for their death.
By the time the first she wolf finds the one who got raped, she has gone to the moon.
She begs the moon to punish the wolves for this injustice . The moon gets to them on their way of traveling by a boat to another land. Creating the pool of death just so the moon can punish them. It was the moon's way of protecting her daughter.
Four wolves disappearing in the dark hole of the sea.
Realization hits me. So the doppelgänger is created to protect the moon's daughter, the true Luna.
I open my eyes to find the black eyes that have already found mine.
I think I have never seen her like this , so courageous,so strong so Devine.
"You fought the moon , you surely like to live"
Her eyes smiling,trying to ease the tension in the room.
What she doesn't know is it's her I fought for, my mate , waiting in the light for me.
My mouth is dry it's hard to speak. She wet them with her beautiful pouty lips before bringing a glass of water for me to drink.
"We're home"
My first word for a long time, it feels weird to talk. I can't remember we coming back to Amazon.
"You needed the healers "
Of course they are the best. Even though my mate's next to me and I'm awake at home , my gut feeling says that something is very wrong.
"How long has it been since the incident?"
"Three months"
I can't form a meaningful sentence, three months is a very long time. Looking at her eyes I knew something is off.
"Tell me "
I try to use my Alpha male voice but I know she has no affect.
"It's Kaden, he challenged me to death , I didn't have a choice Klay, I'm sorry "
Kaden? My baby brother? I just have to be certain.
"You killed him?"
"He didn't stop , he didn't submit, he gave me no choice "
Her eyes don't look at me anymore. She is way too much for him. It was not a fair fight.
"You killed my brother while I was unconscious? Where's Damien?"
I am burning with rage, mate or not she broke my trust there must have been something she could have done. The shift is instant for me, the emotions are too much for me to keep in control.
"Damien understands what needs to be done is needed to be done"
She trys to maintain the eye contact with my wolf.
Right now all he wants is to fight her for taking his brother away, his blood away.
My wolf growls challenging her to shift.My wolf's paws hits the tiled floor making a sound , letting her know what is coming .
"I don't want to fight you Klaus, you just woke up after three months "
I have no ears for her, for me she needs to be punished.
My mom comes running to me trying to get my attention.
"Klaus stop son"
I don't even look at her, how can she ask me to stop? Kaden was his son.
"Klaus please"
Her eyes holding my wolf ones. My wolf will never fight a human, he is not a dirty player , he gives a piercing growl , both the females stunned.
I can't get back the control, at least for now , my wolf runs outside towards the tree line howling his pain and loss to the moon.
Pack wolves joins me with their howls, trying to share my pain. But only I know that this pain will always be there, haunting me forever. My mate taking my brother's life behind my back.
My wolf runs and runs until it's almost dawn , laying on his stomach near Kaden's grave. I wish I had more time, to tell him I'm proud of him that he has a special spot in my heart.
I knew he took it bad that Damien became my first Beta. But it never meant that I loved him any lesser.
She slowly approach me in her human form. I pay her no mind, right now she's not important to me. No one really is.
She opens her mind, showing me the fight, how she constantly tried to make him submit not going for the obvious kill. Kaden pushes himself hard , he accuses Arla for my illness, saying that she has no right to order Amazon. He's making it so difficult not to fight. Her nature surging her forward to answer threats.
I understand what's done was needed but I can't forgive her . I get up now shifting near the back door to go to the kitchen. I pick a short from the shelf by the door to cover me walking straight to the dining table to eat whatever is left to ease my hunger.
I was half way finished with my piece of chicken when she approaches me.
"Stop lurking around Arla, I need some time "
She nods, her choice of clothing impresses me, light pink satin dress, hair plaited ,she looks so fragile so feminine at this moment. But Kaden is not that insignificant for me to bounce back from his loss so soon.
She turns around walking towards the stair case. Anyone who sees her like this would thing she has no chance with a wolf like Kaden. If she was not who she was he would have won,Arla would be the one to meet the moon instead of my brother.
She stops mid step failing to take another step. I realize my mistake the moment she turns around. So much of pain on her black eyes. I forgot to put my guard up, she had the access to my mind and she just saw what thought.
"Would you have been happy to see me dead? Instead of him?"
Her lips trembling with the weight of the question she just asked.
"Don't make me choose between you and my brother Arla"
"You would have been "
She states. Taking a sharp breath in she turns around disappearing from my sight.
I make sure my guard is back on, I don't want to be careful in what I think. And no matter how angry I am ,a part of me understands that she's not as guilty as I pin her down to be.
I slowly get up walking to
his room. It still smells like him. Photographs of Kaden with his mate , family everywhere. My mother is lying on his bed weeping her sorrow to the pillow looking at a picture of Kaden and his mate.
"Where is she?"
I ask.
"She went back to her birth pack. A death of a mate is not easy to handle,specially at such a young age"
I don't know what to say.
"I'm so sorry momma , I'm sorry for everything "
"Me too Klay, me too, but I'm so glad that you're well"
I lay next to her on the bed rubbing her back slowly until she falls asleep.
I take another few minutes to collect my self before walking to the room Arla and I share.
I genuinely hope that she's asleep so that I don't have to deal with her today. I take a quick shower from the bathroom downstairs I want to delay this as much as possible.
Walking in to our room she is not anywhere to be seen but the running water indicates where she is. I climb on to the bed , it breaks my heart to hear her cry. The sound of the water cannot hide the sound of her crying. I know I hurt her but I can't assure her or console her right now. My wolf goes crazy wanting to go to her , to take whatever that's hurting our female away.
I stay on the bed. After hours she opens the door, her mask is back on , not even a single tear to be seen. I am relieved to see that, I don't think I have it in me to ignore her when she's crying next to me.
She climbs on next to me , my wolf calms down instantly with the closeness. When I was about to fall asleep I hear her voice.
"I'm sorry Klay, I'll leave the first thing in the morning "
