Clara's POV
"I'm scared "
"Me too but we have to trust our mate" Angeline said
"I'm scared of that too" I know that I should trust my mate, I do. I do trust him of course, it's just that I'm scared that if I trust him so much it will end up again like last time.
"Don't be scared, we will always be together" Angeline replied after a long silence.
"I know. You are me and I am you" I replied. Hearing these words always calms me down. It's our line, our chant for everything.
"Yes. We will always be one"
"Babe?"
I was startled by the sudden voice and saw Erik peeking at the door. I smiled at him and signaled him to come in. Erik walked towards me and I instantly hug him. "What's wrong?" I asked.
"Your brother mind linked me earlier and he said he got something about Tia"
I stiffened at the name. I didn't expect him to find things about the witch who survived and in hiding for already a decade. "Let's go" I said.
Erik's POV
"Let's go"
There it is, her sudden change of tone. Angelic tone to serious tone with a dark expression. Sometimes it sound cool sometimes terrifying.
We didn't walked too far to my office because her library is next to my office. When we got there we saw Vincent sitting drinking his coffee.
When he saw us, he stood up and the sibling hug each other and I walked towards my chair. Then Vincent faced and bowed.
"Alpha, I have returned" Vincent said and faced Clara "Luna"
I nodded for acknowledgement and Clara smiled at him.
"Talk" I ordered.
"There's this town where I stayed for two days and while eating breakfast there's this folks who talked about a lady who doesn't age who lived by herself in the mountains. I tried to find the house at the mountains but I didn't find the house it looked like there's a barrier"
Clara is silent, she's just listening. "Then? I think there's more. Right Vincent?"
"Yes Alpha" He instantly showed us his arm that is heavily injured "I tried to find the barrier and I smelled some smoke but can't see where the smoke is. I followed the scent and saw a tree that don't move"
Both Clara and I were shocked at his injured arm but tried to contain our worries for later.
"What do you mean about a tree that doesn't move?" I got confused of what I heard. Trees really don't move.
"I feel strong wind but the leaves in the tree doesn't move like they're not affected by the wind. I tried getting closer at the trees and tried to touch one but I accidentally touched the barrier and my arm got burnt. I think that's where she lives" Vincent said.
"Brother" Clara suddenly talked and Vincent faced her.
"How did you find her?" Clara asked.
Good question. Tia has been living a life in hiding. So how can he find her so easily? For a short period of time.
"I smelled some alluring scent and the next thing I know I'm in that town" Vincent answered.
Clara's POV
"I smelled some alluring scent and the next thing I know I'm in that town"
Don't tell me
"Yes sister, It's exactly what you think it is"
Impossible. This is impossible. I looked at my brother with a shocked expression when Erik talked.
"Let's talk about this again later, I think you need some rest Vince" Erik said with a concern face.
"I think I do need one bro. Just mind link me later" Vincent said and waved goodbye as he walked towards the door and left.
"And you..." Erik suddenly pointed at my nose "need a rest too" He kissed me at my forehead and motioned me to follow him.

We are at our room gazing at the sunset outside when I suddenly remembered my mom.
"Mommy? What are you doing?"
"Gardening *she giggled*" She stood up and faced me. When I looked at the garden behind her I saw the most beautiful tulips I have ever seen. Black tulips. "Amazing right? *she giggled* Do you liked it?" My mom asked.
"Like it? I love it mom!" I said excitedly.
"Just look at these flowers when there's a lot on your mind. I know that this will help" She smiled.
"Tulips, huh" I sighed.
I saw Erik walked out at our bathroom wearing only a towel. Oh God I'm so thankful that I have this kind of mate "If you want to see this *pointed at his body* you can just ask babe" He smirked.
I playfully rolled my eyes at him. He chuckled while picking clothes in our walk in closet "Do you like tulips my princess?" I was startled by this sudden question.
"Yes, I do love them" I hid behind the pillow to hide my blush.
"We have them In the garden. You can check it if you want" He said. I started to get excited when I heard that they grew tulips here.
"I'll go check it out" I said
Erik now fully dressed walked toward to me and kissed my temples. "I'll let you know when the meeting will start"
I smiled at him and walked towards the door.
----------
I was about to enter the garden when I bumped with my brother who's coming out from the garden.
"Brother" I said while massaging my nose
"Ow sorry, I didn't see you. Uhm scratch that. I can't see you because you're too small" Vincent teasing me. I just rolled my eyes at him and continued walking towards the garden.
When I got there, I stopped. It's beautiful the garden that full of different colors of tulips.
"It's amazing" My wolf said
Yeah it is
"Aunt..... I mean your mom used to love tulips right?" Vincent who followed to the garden asked.
"Yeah" I smiled and just looked at the beautiful garden in front of me.
We just sit there gazing at the beautiful view at the garden when my brother broke the silence.
"There's a chance that she's my mate right?"
I gazed at my brother who is looking at the tulips with a sad look on his eyes. "I don't know brother, I really don't but if she is? I'm happy for you" We smiled at each other and enjoyed viewing the tulips with different colors.
Many minutes has passed when my brother said that we should go back because Erik just mind linked him. I nodded and we walked back to Erik's office.
When we arrived at the office Erik smiled at us and said
"Let's start shall we?"
