Chapter nine

1170 Words
I nuzzled happily into Klaus's chest as we made our way home. I never wanted a mate, never thought I needed one, and honestly I never even thought I had one. Being the first of my kind we never knew if I would have a mate. Sitting here now with Klaus's arms wrapped protectively around me, holding me tightly to him, I couldn't be happier. Well I could, and I would be as soon as I reclaimed what is rightfully mine.  The beta that Gabriel had put in charge of the Silver pack was challenged and killed just a few short years after his placement. The new alpha runs the pack like a slave trade. People were forced to work for him, he forced himself on the women not caring if they were mated or not. The male children were taken from their parents at five years old and forced to train to be warriors. They were beaten if they didn't reached the standards the alpha wanted. When the female children reached 18 they were forced into his homemade w***e house where his warriors brutally r***d and beat them.  Just thinking about how my pack was being treated made my blood boil. He was a terrible alpha, a horrible man and I couldn't wait to sink my claws into him. I couldn't wait to make him feel every ounce of pain he forced onto innocent children. I would draw out the challenge, making it the most painful experience of his life. I would make him beg for mercy, beg for his life while I laughed in his face. I would tear him limb from limb, savoring his howls and screams.  "Willow" Klaus said pulling my attention from my thoughts. I looked up to him and his eyes widened. I knew my anger had got the best of me and my eyes were red. They always turned red when I experienced intense anger. "Willow, what has got you so angry?" Gabriel asked, his voice strained. I released a heavy sigh. "I was thinking about how my pack is being treated. Waiting three months is like waiting a life time. My people are being abused, r***d, beaten and killed." I squeezed my eyes tightly shut as my anger started to rise. "Willow, lean on me." Klaus whispered in my eat, his breath against my skin sending chills through me.  "Don't worry my love. My father is a man of his word, he will send his warriors as will the other elders. We will reclaim your pack and you will inherit your birthright." Klaus assured me. His promise making Jade stir happily within me. "Our mate will rule with us." Jade said prancing around in my head. I laughed at her. "Yes he will Jade. He is our mate." Jade rolled her eyes at my bluntness.  "How far away is you pack?" Klaus asked Gabriel. "A days drive." He answered. Klaus nodded in response and turned to look out the window. I couldn't help but wonder what was going through his mind. Was he happy we were mates? Does he have a clan of his own he was meant to take over? And if so how would we both accept our birthright? Maybe I could move my pack to his lands, or he could move his clan to ours.  So many thoughts, so many questions rushed through my mind and I was left feeling uncertain and concerned. My need for revenge not only for myself but for my pack was what fueled me, and nobody would take that away from me not even my mate. I will save my pack, with or without Klaus. I can only hope that we can find a way to make this work so we can be together.  "Klaus?" He turned to me smiling. "Yes my love?" He asked pulling me closer. "What will happen with us? We're both alphas with our own people to lead. Me sooner than you, but one day you will take over for your father as leader of your clan. What will happen with us when that happens?" His smile faded and his eyes darkened. "I don't know what will happen. But one thing I do know is I won't lose you. Not today, not tomorrow not ever. Dragons rarely find their true mate. We are all normally paired with another at birth to ensure our race survives. Since I've found my true mate, my chosen mate will be forced to pair with another."  A low growl rumbled through my chest at the thought of him with another woman. "Don't worry my love." He said kissing my forehead. "She means nothing to me. I have never even kissed her. With dragons, kissing is kind of sacred. One we kiss our energy intermingles with our partner, binding us together in a way mating fully will only amplify. So kissing you we would mix our energies meaning we would both know when the other is in any kind of danger. The shift in your bodies energy tells me when anything happens. I'll know when your truly happy, scared, anxious, uncertain as you will feel mine." I was shocked. A dragon's mate bond goes so much deeper than a werewolves. Ya we could feel each others emotions and talk telepathically, but feeling the others emotions was only if the emotion was heightened and mind links could be blocked, even broken. The dragon's bond went deeper, soul deep as far as I could tell. Your energy is what makes up every part of you. Your energy is your soul, your life force, the very essence of who you are.  "Klaus, my emotions are like a roller coaster. I can be as happy and blissful as can be one minute and the next be so angry I want to rip someones head off. That is who I am, it's what keeps me, me. My strong emotions are what drives me, what keeps me going." I warned him. A smile formed on his perfectly plump lips. "And I will be your side every step of the way." He vowed before his lips planted firmly on mine. A flurry of blue and purple light surrounded us before they merged. I felt as his soul latched onto mine and mine to his. His immense happiness rushed into me, crashing into my heart as if were my own. As our souls continued to mingle, I began feeling his emotions deeper into my being. The blue and purple, what I could only assume was our essence fully merged into one another, forming our bond.  "Wow.." Klaus breathed, pulling away from me. "I have never seen a merging of essence so strong." I smiled half heartedly as I looked into his wonderful golden eyes, he is too good for me I admitted to myself. "Don't be so hard on yourself." Klaus said in a low whisper. "You are my perfect match." I knew he was right, I just needed to admit it to myself.
