Chapter 95

Days went by, and Klaus never visited the cell. As the days passed, I felt empty, and my body was still recovering from giving birth. I felt empty and dead. “Erik, where are you?” I called, still hoping for Erik to reply. “Let’s escape,” Alpha Louis said. I raised my head and looked at Alpha Louis quietly.

“We need to make way for us to escape,” He added, and Clara smirked.

“I will not escape. Once I get the chance to get out of this shitty cell, I will look for my child,” I replied.

“No, escape and gather some of your subordinates and return,” Alpha Louis replied.

“So you are telling me to abandon my own child?” I asked, starting to get angry at his words.

“Let’s say you managed to find your child. Then how can you escape in your weakened state? You can’t even protect yourself in that body. How can you even protect your child? You will hasten your death together with your child,” He said angrily.

My eyes grew big, realizing that his words were indeed correct. Even if I managed to save my child from Klaus, I could not guarantee our lives when we even managed to escape. “Do you even have a plan?” I asked.

“We only need one chance. I can guarantee what happens after,” Alpha Louis said confidently. He seems confident, so I nod in reply.

Thinking about escaping made my blood boil. I was so angry at everything and couldn’t take the emptiness I felt. The longing for my child and my mate gradually takes over my emotions and body. “Please, moon goddess, help us to escape,” I prayed.

“Angeline, master up our powers. We need to stand strong to escape,” I said to my wolf.

“I will don’t worry, I will,” Angeline said, growling.

Only one chance. We only need one chance. I will stake my life and trust Alpha Louis. I can’t think of anything, and I feel so hopeless. That is why I will trust Alpha Louis on this.

“Clara! Clara!”

I gasped as I heard the voice of Erik. “Erik! Finally!” I shouted back, but there was no response any longer. It must be that he somehow got near where I am, but the connection won’t be that strong because of the wolfsbane.

“Erik! Erik! Please!” I called repeatedly.

“Clara! Where are you!” He asked. I stood from the floor and desperately got near the wall with a small window.

“Erik! Listen carefully! They took our child!” I shouted in my thoughts, hoping for him to receive my message.

“Do you know where you are?!” He replied anxiously.

“I don’t know. I’ve been locked up in a basement!” I replied. I rushed to the entrance of my cell in front of Alpha Louis’s cell. “Alpha Louis! Do you know where we are?!” I asked.

“I do not know. I’m sorry,” He replied, and I bit my lip in frustration.

“Erik! Never mind me. Please find our child!”  I said, but there was no response.

“Erik?! Erik!” I called, but I still got no response. I punched the wall angrily, frustrated that I couldn’t connect to Erik any longer. I shouted angrily and just punched the wall continuously.

I will not let you get away with this, Klaus. Whoever is backing you, I will make sure that I will send you all to hell. You will pay for all the pain that you’ve caused me! It’s time to end this war for both of us.

Days went by, and my body became thin. I can say that I became malnourished. However, I can feel some of my power, and it is starting to come back after I give birth. Angeline became quiet and stopped weeping to gather strength for our escape. Since that day, I also haven’t heard anything from Erik. I sighed. What are they doing to my child? Are they even feeding him properly? I hope nothing bad happened in these past few days.

“I miss you, my child,” I said to myself. I was thinking about my child when I heard someone’s footsteps. “I see that you are still alive.”

I raised my head and looked at the wolf of talked. It was Merlin, the evil witch. “What do you want?” I asked while glaring at her.

“Nothing important. I want to see your pitiful look. You look disgusting,” She snarled.

“How about you? You look dead” I smirked, but it was true. She looked like someone who was brought back from the dead. She looked so tired and pitiful. At first glance, you can say that she looks like a crazy old woman.

“You’ve become old,” I added. Her face became red from embarrassment, and she gritted her teeth. Seeing her embarrassed and angry expression. I laughed devilishly.

“It seems all of your evil-doing is becoming transparent,” I said.

“Y-y-you bitch!” She shouted while stuttering. She spat on me and left the prison in a hurry.

I sighed and stared at the small window in the left corner of the cell. The sun has set, and another day has come by. Alpha Louis is also gathering his strength, and it seems he has a plan for our escape.

“I have gathered enough of our powers to help in our escape,” Angeline said, and I smiled. Everything is set, we need an opportunity and we can escape this hell. I let my sleep take over me, and the next morning, I woke up, seeing Klaus standing in front of me. I got surprised for a second but immediately launched an attack on Klaus.

“Hahahaha, what a feisty she-wolf,” Klaus said.

“Where’s my child?! What did you do to him?!” I shouted at him angrily and desperately. I was trying to destroy the wolfsbane bars.

“Don’t you worry. He is still alive and kicking,” Klaus said, smirking at me.

“What are your plans? Tell me, tell me, Klaus!” I shouted.

“In the full moon, your son will cease to exist,” Klaus said, his expression turning into a serious look.

“Tell me!” I shouted in reply to him, but he just smirked and then left the prison.

I turned to Alpha Louis, “How long?!” I asked desperately.

“As I have said, we only need one chance,” Alpha Louis said. He calmly said and looked at me with calm eyes.

“How long do we have to wait for that one chance?!” I replied angrily.

“CAN’T YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM SAYING? ONE CHANCE!” Alpha Louis said, using his most serious voice that shut me up.

I know what he wants to say and what he means, but I cannot wait any longer. I am desperate to get out and find my child. I know, I know that he means well, but I am scared. I understand that he means well, but I can’t waste any significant time here. I need to find my child as soon as possible. Amid our conversation, I realized that I was shaking. I looked at my hands and saw them shaking. In frustration, I balled my hands into a fist and bit my lower lip.

“Calm down, Clara. I need to be strong. I cannot shake the fear and need to focus and gather my strength. Let’s trust Alpha Louis. I need to trust, oh my moon goddess, what will happen to us in the end?”

I closed my eyes and rested my head on my arms, hugging my legs. Is there even a day when we will feel what happiness truly means? I sighed and let myself sleep.
