***His bride***

"Ok, just stop it!" Caroline growled rubbing her stomach. She couldn't take it anymore. She was so hungry and she decided to eat something. Because of her rage she had to skip breakfast.

Caroline was cautious when she entered the kitchen. A brunette turned to her from the sink and smiled a little. The wolf smiled back hesitantly.

"Hello Mrs. Mikaelson."

"Hey." She walked and stood beside the brunette. Judging by the dress, Caroline understood she was the maid. "Your name?" Caroline questioned.

"It is Mary, Mrs. Mikaelson." She replied politely.

"I go by Caroline." The blonde huffed.

Mary moved nervously. "It isn't proper for me to call you by your first name Mistress."

Caroline mentally rolled eyes. She had to adjust to being referred to as 'Mrs. Mikaelson' from now on. "As you wish." She muttered inhaling the delicious smell prevailing in the kitchen. "Oh, you're a good cook!" she added in appreciative tone.

Mary smiled coyly, "Thank you, mi—"

"I'm starving." Caroline admitted rubbing her stomach.

"Please be seated. Master instructed me to serve you. So I've been waiting for you." Mary said placing the dishes on the table.

The wolf raised brows making a face as she took a seat at the dining table. Even though the table was small and it had a capacity for three. It was made of see-through glass material with spiral shaped legs.

Caroline leaned forward on the table and waited eagerly as the grilled chicken was served first. She took a quick bite and moaned letting the flavor spread on her tongue.

"Marvelous job Mary! I could just sit here and eat everything." She said between chews.

"I've prepared these dishes for you Mistress." Mary informed pointing everything on the table.

Caroline opened and closed her mouth glancing between Mary and the table.

"Oh crap. For me?" She gasped. "Don't worry I won't disappoint you." She grinned like a kid.

***His bride***

Normally Klaus wouldn't drink during the day time, but Elijah had insisted. The little place they were in was a hang-out for people of their species. Klaus stared out of the glass cabin. All their progenies were chilling in there with their 'snacks.' Of them, two females were sharing a human between them. One plunged her canines into his pulse point from the neck. The other did the same to the opposite side. The lust in their eyes told the Hybrid that they were newly transformed.

"I hope everything is fine with your new bride?" Elijah spoke sipping his own glass of dark red liquid.

Elijah heard a growl from his brother which had him worried.

Klaus finished his drink and placed it on the table making a thud. "That wolf." He wiped remaining droplets from his mouth. "I bet she won't last long if she's with our family."

"You need to be patient with her, brother. She's not someone who knows your irascible nature." Elijah stated sternly.

Klaus exhaled tiredly. "Right. Blame me." He ran a hand through his dirt blond curls.

"Niklaus." Elijah used 'his' tone. "If you can't win her heart then our mother will be disappointed with you. Do you know wolves are waiting for a chance to attack vampires?"

Klaus was surprised to hear this. "I thought they were trying to end disputes with vampires."

"Rumor has it that a few packs of wolves are preparing themselves for an attack."

Klaus silently nodded thinking to himself. So, they were going against Bill's decision? But in the past all the packs had opted for Bill as their leader of the wolves.

"I hope that's true." Klaus said.

Elijah didn't like the way the Hybrid had perceived the information. He was not being serious. "Then it will be one bloody massacre." The younger one added with a chuckle.

"Niklaus." Elijah spoke with his warning tone. "Don't tell me that you'll enjoy yourself while your family is at stake."

Klaus scoffed. "Loosen up, Elijah. I was not being serious."

And Elijah knew how much fun his brother was. Not even a bit.

Of course, Klaus wouldn't care if there was any bloodshed. The quarrel was between 'vampires and wolves.' And he being half vampire and half wolf wouldn't side with anyone. He would just sit and relax while both the groups killed each other.

"Moreover, tell me how our family will be at stake?" he asked repeating his words.

"What you're expecting? Kol and Mikael will not stay calm while the whole clan fights against wolves," Elijah stated.

"Ah, Kol," Klaus smirked. "Our brother wouldn't let go the opportunity to lay his hand on wolves."

"So are Rebekah and Finn."

"Poor mother has to watch this alone."

Elijah snapped out. "That's why I'm asking you to rethink, brother."

Klaus opened his mouth to counter him but closed again.

Thinking of Caroline brought a tired look to his face. "That girl doesn't even listen to me."

"Don't try to tame her like a vampire. She's your wife, brother. Treat her with some respect." Elijah spat at him.

Awesome. Now Klaus was the villain. He definitely had the worst status.

Klaus didn't remember when he had tried to tame her. He merely talked—or well they had little fight. He teased her. She growled at him like a banshee.

And he thought Elijah could save him or at least could advise him, but Klaus was being blamed by his own brother.

He should probably get back to his lovely wife.

When he went back to his mansion, he heard Caroline's voice coming from every direction. Klaus stopped dead in tracks and listened while standing beside the wall of kitchen.

"And then you know what I did to that moron, Mary?" Caroline giggled. She was sitting on kitchen counter as the maid, Mary was washing dishes. "I shot eggs at him."

Mary gasped. "You threw eggs at a wolf-man?"

Caroline shrugged. "I told you that SOB tried to rape her."

A feminist too. Fucking great.

"Moreover, he irritated me twice."

"Didn't you face any problem from your father or him?" that maid wondered.

Caroline tittered, "Dad knows better than that. When it comes to protection of women in the clan, I wouldn't tolerate anyone. And because of my deeds dad had to take certain measures in order to save me from those dogs."

Mary nodded. "But you need not worry about them anymore. Mr. Mikaelson will protect you at any cost."

Klaus swore the wolf's heart stopped for a second.

Caroline tensed. "Well— his services are not required now."

He smirked and walked into kitchen. His wife jumped off the counter and stood quietly by Mary's side.

Her violet top instantly pulled his attention. She had changed into other clothing. Thank her shorts; he got to see her perfectly toned legs for the first time. He stopped to let out a growl while he ran his gaze hungrily along her legs. That woman knew how to—

"Do you need something, master?" Mary's question interrupted his thoughts.

Klaus glanced at his wife's face as he answered, "I'm fine. Can I have a moment with you?" he said latter to his wife.

The blonde followed him throwing a nervous glance at Mary.

"I see you made yourself at home." He commented as he walked a step ahead.

"Well, this is my home now."

Klaus wasn't stupid for not sensing her obviously scornful words. He smirked. "What a change love and overnight. You made friends with the maid."

"Yes. Oh and by the way her name is Mary. Just saying, since you obviously don't know."

Her voice was somewhere between being sarcastic and cheery. Klaus stopped at a door and turned to her with an impassive look.

"I don't care." He said and opened the door to the lawn.

Her smile vanished. "What do you want to talk about?" She muttered while checking around. The perimeter within her sight was covered with only trees everywhere. She had goosebumps on her skin as she breathed in the smell of soil. It was her favorite.

Klaus sat on top of table and pointed her to sit in a chair.

Caroline sat down in the chair and crossed her arms against her chest creating a slight view for him. Klaus tried to look away while forcing an expression as if he was discussing general matters with her.

"So, love. I need not remind you of our situation, right?" He mumbled looking around.

Caroline huffed with an eye roll. "Of course, I'm well aware of it. You have to 'claim' me." She aired those words mockingly. "But don't expect me to surrender ok? I'll never wear your mark." She declared.

Klaus shot a glance at her. He was clearly confused. "You weren't informed anything about that treaty?"

"If I had known before, I would have done everything within my power to prevent this marriage," she said bitterly.

He squinted, definitely not appreciating her tone.

"I would check my tone if I were you," He warned her having a cold smile on his face. Caroline looked away and glared at a tree close by. "About the treaty, don't worry. I know better than to have such a nasty experience." He stated arrogantly.

She managed to contain her anger.

"At least do you know that we're being watched by your pack?"

The blonde raised brows in astonishment. It confirmed that she knew nothing. She was just being an obedient daughter and a responsible princess. But as per Klaus' sources one particular pack of wolf clan were keeping an eye on them both.

"What are you saying?" she whispered.

"Not sure which particular pack but definitely the wolves are watching us over some distance. Perhaps they want to keep you safe?" He shrugged.

Realizing what this could mean she asked. "You're not bothered about that?"

Klaus sighed. "Why would I be when I have no bad intentions towards you?"

Caroline gaped at him and he continued. "Also any of the vampire clan might attack if you roam alone without me. So I suggest you to do no such things."

"That's not fair!" She cried. "I won't hide because of any bloodsucker. I'm a free-spirit."

Klaus really was bored of her whining. What couldn't she get?

"In that case tell me when you want to go out." He said turning to her completely. Klaus leaned on the table looking down on her. "What about transformation?"

Klaus finally came to the point of her needs.

"What do you think? I'll be transformed into a giant four legged creature and will start hunting you vampire around?" She asked playfully.

"Oh please, Caroline." Klaus huffed. "Did you forget that you're married to the Original Hybrid?"

Caroline bit her tongue and smiled sweetly tilting her head. "Oops. My mistake," she purred making him roll his eyes. "How many days are there for full moon?"

Klaus snorted. Well the wolf itself had no idea about full moon. How ironic. He thought for seconds and replied. "In two days, maybe?"

Fuck. Caroline gaped at him. How could she forget such a thing? Probably that was the reason for losing temper unnecessarily. Her hormones were agitated. She didn't have time, dammit!

And she couldn't stay here. He was a wolf too. Caroline had never stayed around wolves during that time.

She had completely forgotten about that. It was going to be a different experience as she had to transform without her father's help or 'protection.' During full moons males of the pack would become ruthless and drag their females across everywhere. Luckily Bill was possessive of his daughter—or he had other reasons. Whenever the pack was transformed, Caroline would be locked up away from the males and kept safe like that. In that way she was never mated with anyone.

She didn't know what she had to do now. Klaus was part wolf. That was what running in her mind. And it was dangerous to stay around.

"What do I have to do now?" She mumbled distantly.

Klaus could sense her nervousness. He had such a horrible experience once in his life, when he turned into a vampire. He would remember that pain throughout his existence. But that didn't prevent him from transforming occasionally, when he lost his temper.

His gaze softened as he looked down at his wife.

"I can't do anything to save you from that doom. All I can do is helping you, little wolf."

Caroline was startled by his caring demeanor. He meant what he said. But was he talking about mating?

"What, no!" She squeaked standing up in her place. "I'm not the bitch to lie down for you. How can you expect me to—That's gross!"

Klaus wrinkled his forehead. This wolf definitely had issues.

He snorted. "You must be losing the plot." It only angered her. "Do you even know what am I talking about, Caroline?" He asked, a little annoyed. Before she could manage to spat out, he raised his finger to stop her and then added. "I'm warning you watch that mouth, little wolf."

"Or else what, Hybrid?" She asked slyly while crossing her arms.

Klaus just felt her coldness. She was showing the ferociousness that a wolf would have.

If she were a regular vampire, Klaus would have snapped her neck for that attitude. Just like that.

And then something, a beast, inside was growling. He had never felt in such a manner. He had never heard that voice before.

Ah, it said, finally met you. Inamorata! You unchained me.

Klaus tried his best to ignore that voice. She looked up at him challengingly. He wanted to snap her. But no!

She was inches away, mere inches.

Kiss her! Tell her who's her alpha! Tell her who's in charge! That voice inside him was growling.

His eyes went down to her lips. They were inviting him, provoking him, taunting him to caress if he had guts. He was again excited, like the first time he saw her on the previous day.

He was now panting as if he had run for miles.

I'll claim you as mine, inamorata!

He had no idea what he was doing when he grabbed her waist and locked her hips with his. She was shocked by the way of his grip. It was tough and dominating. He coaxed her mouth open with his earning a whimper.

Mine. All mine!

Klaus was suddenly possessive as he ran his tongue across her lips.

Sweet.

That voice didn't stop talking. Not that Klaus was bothered now. He was so busy exploring her mouth with his tongue. She tried to fight him at first, but later it was all gone. To his revelation, she had given in to him. She cupped his face as she embraced him.

My sweet inamorata.

The voice inside Klaus was now purring with satisfaction. Though it wanted more. She was given a brief moment to breathe. His hands were on her back, running all over. He was sure that she was in haze.

He bent down and pressed his lips to the corner of her mouth and to her jaw then went to the neck as his fingers played with the strap of her halter neck.

Caroline became cautious quickly and pushed him off.

She gasped for air running hands through her hair. She didn't know what had gotten into her.

Klaus was confused as well. The voice was now growling in irritation.

Accept me. I'm yours!

He thought she liked it. They both shared an awkward silence.

"I'm—I didn't mean it—I'm sorry." She mumbled, embarrassed. "Perhaps the full moon effect."

I'm not sorry.

And that was what he confessed loudly. "I'm not."

She gaped at him. Seconds later she huffed. All the males were same. Her mother said how demanding and lustful they become during transformation.

But Caroline was also told that if the female had gotten her suitable male things would be different. Once a male had gotten his female he could never let her go. That was how their parents continued their journey.

She was still gazing at him when she muttered. "I've got to go."

Klaus didn't stop her while the voice inside him was complaining.

My inamorata, I'll get to you.
