REBIRTH OF CLARA

Chapter Nine: Decoration

"Pardon my manner for asking, but any special occasion, my Alpha?" The werewolf said, looking rather scared with a smile on his face.

"That has nothing to do with you" Lucian replied, already agitated, looking down to the wolf already on his knees in respect to his Alpha.

"Just do as you're told!", he yelled in a low tone. "You may leave!" Lucian commanded.

Klaus walked in from behind. "Why have you requested a change in furniture and interior decor?" Klaus asked Alpha Lucian, his best friend, then the wolf on his knees had left the scene beyond sight.

You know I'm a man of taste. I did so for beauty, peace and tranquillity will be in my abode soon" replied Lucian putting his right hand on Klaus's shoulder with a glittering smile on his face.

Klaus, with a grinding smile on his face, looked at Lucian and said "I don't understand you Lucian, are you actually referring to Clara whom you aren't even sure of her positive or negative response yet!!!"

Now agitated and furious, Lucian yelled in a loud voice, "Klaus, how dare you question my feelings or happiness?". Lucian's voice echoed through the forest as other members of his pack paused to find out what made their alpha furious.

"For how long will I stay without Luna? I have been patient enough" said Lucian, his voice breaking rapidly as he spoke and tears fighting their way from his eyes and they slowly dripped on the ground at which they stood. Klaus stood speechless as he listened. Other members of the Lucian's pack continued their respective responsibilities as they murmured to themselves.

"After the demise of my father and the loss of my Luna in the great war that ensued centuries ago. I locked my heart to love, my dad was a pillar of support." Lucian said and paused as he scoffed and sniffed his nose. "He stayed strong even though my mother left him bitterly for another man" Lucian continued with tears gushing out of his eyes.

Lucian looked at Klaus with tears in his eyes and said, "You clearly know the reason I dislike women, but finally, I feel comfort and immense peace on just hearing Clara's name even though I don't know her yet but it seems you aren't as excited as I am knowing that I may find love soon." Lucian said with a frown on his face as he wiped his tears.

"No!!!!!!!!!! Lucian, I always want the best for you" said Klaus, already grabbing his friend for a tight hug.

"And I bet you, I don't want to see you hurt. That is clearly the reason I feel bad knowing you are already growing fond of a lady who has turned down many great proposals till date. What if you also fall a victim?" Klaus continued in a low tone, with pity in his eyes, still hugging Lucian, who still had tears in his eyes after a long time.

An Alpha who couldn't weep even when his father died finally had to cry out his eyes on that cold night.
