Chapter 101
Erik’s POV
“Your majesty!” Someone called while I was sitting in my office looking at the map. I was still looking for a place in the country where they could hide my Queen.
“Your majesty!” The voice grew louder, indicating that the owner of the voice was getting near the office. The voice was in a panic, and it sounded like Ian.
The door opened, and I turned around, I saw Ian catching his breath at the entrance of my office, and I looked at him, confused. “What’s happening?” I asked, confused that the calm and serious Ian was now in front of me with a panicked expression.
“Someone sent a message! The Queen is on the north!” Ian shouted with panic and a trembling voice.
At the mention of Clara, my heart beat fast, and I rushed towards Ian and grabbed his shoulders. “What did you say?!” I said angrily.
“Someone from the north sent a message saying her highness went there herself,” Ian said. My eyes grew big, and I slowly let go of his shoulders. “Clara!” I shouted in my thought. My wolf howled, and I looked back at Ian. He nodded at me, saying that I heard things right. I immediately ran outside and changed into my wolf form. I didn’t bother and think about anything else. I just ran as fast as I could toward the north.
I heard some rustling sound on my back, and when I turned around to look, I saw countless pack members following me from behind, including Vincent and Ian. I didn’t bother to stop them since I couldn’t wait any longer to see my mate. “My mate is alive. She is there. I can finally meet her,” I said to myself.
We ran for a few more hours until we entered the territory of Alpha Kyle. Some pack members bowed at me and greeted the rest of my companions. I changed into my human form and took the clothes that were passed to me. I hurriedly walked inside their pack until I saw Luna Rica. “Where is she?!” I shouted.
“Follow me, your majesty. I will guide you to her room,” she said while bowing, and I calmed myself. “I can see my mate,” I said. My heart keeps beating faster than it can burst at any moment. Luna Rica opened the door for me, and I rushed inside the room. I saw my beautiful mate lying down on the bed, sleeping. I walked towards the bed and sat beside her. I grabbed her hand and held it tightly.
Seeing my mate in front of me, I couldn’t help but cry. She grew thin in the months that we grew apart. Her huge belly was nowhere to be seen, and that caused me to cry even more. I cried while holding her hand tightly and closely to my face. I was surprised when she moved and saw her looking back at me. When she recognized who am I she hurriedly sat down and hugged me. I hugged her back, and we both cried.
“Erik! Erik! Erik! Erik!” She repeatedly shouted my name, and I hugged her tightly. “I am here, I am here, my love,” I said while caressing and kissing her head. She cried on my shoulder for a few more minutes until she pushed me away from her and grabbed my collar.
“OUR CHILD! FIND OUR CHILD RIGHT NOW! GATHER OUR FORCES AND LOOK FOR OUR CHILD!” She shouted anxiously that you could see fear in both of her eyes.
“Calm down first and.”
“CALM DOWN!? CALM DOWN?! YOU’RE TELLING ME TO CALM DOWN WHILE OUR CHILD IS OUT THERE?!” She shouted angrily and stood from the bed. She was walking around in front of me.
“Of course, we will look for our child, but first, calm down and talk to me, please?” I asked slowly and calmly. I was trying to calm her down.
“I SAID. GATHER OUR FORCES AND START LOOKING FOR OUR CHILD ERIK! THEY WILL MAKE OUR CHILD AS A VESSEL! CAN’T YOU UNDERSTAND?! WE DO NOT HAVE MUCH TIME!!!” Clara shouted angrily. I got the urge to cry but bit my lip to stop crying.
Watching my mate shout and walk around in panic made my heart clench. “What happened to her that she became like this?” I asked myself. I looked at her sadly and smiled awkwardly.
“I will don’t worry, I will,” I said and was about to leave the room when I heard a sound. I looked back and saw Clara on the floor, crying. I was about to walk back to her and soothe her pain, but I stopped and left the room.
I leaned on the door and closed my eyes. I wanted to ask her many questions and hug her tight, so she was not scared. I understand that she went through some hell, but her rejection hurt. It hurt so bad that I felt like my heart was being stomped over. I closed my eyes tightly and calmed myself.
I walked from the room where Clara was currently staying and looked for someone to show me where Alpha Kyle’s office was. I saw Ian, and he showed me where the office is. When I entered the office, Vincent hurriedly stood from his seat, waiting for me to talk. “It’s her, but they took our child. Gather all of our forces and send a message to Alpha Rick to prepare for war. Let us wait for the Queen to calm down and Alpha Kyle, send your warriors to look for anything. Since the Queen came here, the place where the Queen got held is near,” I ordered, and Alpha Kyle bowed to me and left the room.
“What happened, Erik?” Vincent asked nervously.
“She was panicking so much that she kept on shouting and crying. She rejected my touch and talked to me as if I were one of her enemies. At least that’s what I felt,” I said, covering my face with trembling eyes.
“Clara, my love, what happened to you?”
