AN: Thanks to everyone who reviewed, I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter! I know its crazy a thousand years without any dick but hey what can I say Antonia has some serious self control skills besides she really wanted to hold out for her mate aka Klaus

They woke up an hour later wrapped up in each other. Or at least sort of, Klaus was propped up on the arm of the couch looking at his phone, his other hand wrapped around Antonia's waist when Antonia turned her head to look at him.

"Hello love" Klaus welcomed putting down his phone to see her. Antonia rubbed her eyes the sun was pouring in through the windows directly into her eyes. Burying her face into Klaus' chest she hummed in as she tried to avoid the sun rays.

"I see someone is happy to be awake" His hand tugged her body closer to his despite it already being flush.

"The sun" Antonia groaned back tilting so her chin was on his chest as she looked up at him. His other hand's fingers absent mindedly tapped his phone that sat on side table.

They laid in silence for a while until Antonia asked about how they would find out more about mates. "The upstairs library is actually filled with books about werewolves and their history. I never got around to reading them all perhaps one or two contain material on mate bonds. We could go through those while I secure a reputable witch?" Klaus suggested.

"I'd like that, possibly knowing something solid before we go to a witch. Maybe we won't have to!" Antonia gleefully said wiggling her eyebrows at the thought. She felt his chest vibrate against hers as he chuckled then kissed her forehead.

"Go. Go deal with whatever you have to do that's making you nervously tap your phone and I'll start on the books" Pushing against his chest Antonia sat up getting up off the couch.

She reached for the plates from their brunch and was pulled back into Klaus arms. Sitting up Klaus had her nestled between his spread legs with planted feet on the floor. His lips immediately found her neck and started alternating from sucking and nibbling.

"My family… how would you feel about meeting them?" His breath setting her skin a blaze. Hands full of plates Antonia leaned back into his embrace as much as she could.

"I would love to, are you going to wake them?"

"I want to reunite my family with Mikael dead we would have the chance to be whole again"

"That's a great idea, you and your family deserve to happy together. I will support you in anything you do" Klaus soon left after helping Antonia with the dishes and kissing her goodbye.

She soon found herself in the library standing on the bookshelves reached for the last few books that she hadn't gone through just yet. Radio on Antonia sang as she searched through the library.

Blue jeans, white shirt
Walked into the room you know you made my eyes burn
It was like James Dean, for sure
You so fresh to death and sick as ca-cancer

You were sorta punk rock, I grew up on hip hop
But you fit me better than my favorite sweater, and I know
That love is mean, and love hurts
But I still remember that day we met in December, oh baby

None of the books so far were helpful and some were even in languages she didn't even know. She put a few of those aside off the shelves as the depictions had caught her eyes. Antonia hoped Klaus would know the languages they were in.

I will love you 'til the end of time
I would wait a million years
Promise you'll remember that you're mine
Baby can you see through the tears?

Love you more
Than those bitches before
Say you'll remember, oh baby, say you'll remember oh baby ooh
I will love you 'til the end of time

Finally getting to the top shelf Antonia pulled a book off the shelf that was old leather bound and quite dusty. Hopping down she blew off the dust and ran her hand over its cover. A wolf howling was carved into the leather. Her fingers traced the detailed carving. She flipped through the pages briefly until something on one of the pages caught her eye. One of two wolves surrounded by a heart making her heart thump in her chest a little faster.

Taking the book with her Antonia sat down on the floor as she read. With shaky hands she held the book reading out-loud, "Lycans- humans that transform into wolf like creatures. Bound by the moon each month transformation is a curse. Each Lycan must un-form and reform each bone in their bodies to become their true form. Skin becomes fur and-" Skipping down a few paragraphs until she saw what she was looking for Antonia continued.

Big dreams, gangster
Said you had to leave to start your life over
I was like, no please, stay here
We don't need no money we can make it all work
But he headed out on Sunday, said he'd come home Monday
I stayed up waitin', anticipatin' and pacin' but he was
Chasing paper
Caught up in the game, that was the last I heard

"Werewolves are one of few supernatural creatures that have predestined mates. Each werewolf has one. Mates are created by nature to ensure the survival and prosperity of the pack. Werewolf mates are organically drawn to one another. In order to ensure survival and prosperity mates must complete the mate bond. Indications of one being mates with someone is having strong desires to spend time and be as close to said werewolf. This occurs whether or not either werewolf had triggered their curse."

Antonia turned the page, she was thankful there was nothing so far that she didn't already know. This eased her nerves as she continued.

"To complete the mate bond the werewolves, need to be intimate. These, then bonded, must stay together, committed and in close proximity to one another. This ensures that packs are not split up and the power holds stay intact. If mates complete the bond and do not continue to be together they will endure; pain, sorrow, sickness and depression. If untriggered and mates complete the bond they will deal with said things in a lesser fashion."

The next part made her audibly gulp.

"Death of one's mate could be catastrophic to the living. Because of the delicate nature of mates Alphas are able to decipher mates and their pairings. As vampires are scared of werewolf bites, they in return can be severely taken down as a pack as well as individually if one's mate is turned into a vampire as an untriggered werewolf. It is unclear what the pure mate endures when their half is further cursed with vampirism however indicators are not positive. Mates are sacred and as packs and territories spread across the lands they become less and less common. Werewolf mates are not always within packs and can be across seas."

I will love you 'til the end of time
I would wait a million years
Promise you'll remember that you're mine
Baby can you see through the tears?
Love you more
Than those bitches before
Say you'll remember, oh baby, say you'll remember oh baby ooh
I will love you 'til the end of time

"Mate bonds are tricky as they have evolved due to the uncommon nature. Nature has evolved with the increasing distances and seas separating certain mates. It becomes certain mates will be destined to be with each and eventually nature births a new one for them due to circumstances. The connection between nature and werewolves, nature is in tune with circumstances and purity and alters the mates as it sees fit"

She folded the edge of the page in marking her spot as she shut it putting it on top of the three other books she had pulled. What Antonia had read made her anxious that time and as the book said "circumstances" can alter mates. Witches are connected to nature even more so than werewolves and they were the reason Klaus had to be kept from his werewolf side and the reason Antonia was still alive so what that meant for nature being on their as far as keeping their destiny to be mates still intact very fuzzy. Antonia couldn't read anymore without going crazy with what ifs without Klaus. It was becoming very clear that they needed a witch.

Antonia had spent the rest of the time exploring the mansion, which was very much a mansion. A total of 7 bedrooms each with their own grand en suits, a state of the art kitchen, a fancy dining room, a huge living room, two sitting rooms one on each floor, a huge studio for Klaus not to mention the actual library which was now a slight disaster from her search and an entire ballroom.

She didn't even dare think about how much the mansion cost. Just thinking about the outrageous price tag made her head spin and after reading about mate bonds that was the last thing she wanted.

By the time she ended her exploring of the house and she was plopped down on the couch in the living room with her stack of books, Klaus was coming back. Her eyes were just about to close and have herself a little nap but a thundering voice brought her straight up to attention.

"The audacity of that bloody wanker!"

"Klaus?"

"What do you want?" His voice was so loud and angry even from the other room made her flinch. The anger dripping from his voice seemed deadly. This wasn't the man that had laid with her just a few hours ago.

Getting up from the couch Antonia followed Klaus' voice to the grand foyer. Klaus' back was turned to her his hand resting on the banister on the phone.

"I don't care how long it takes do whatever you have to do to keep your eyes on her!" He bellowed into the phone and hung up.

"What's got you all riled up?" Antonia hesitantly asked coming to sit on the beginning of the staircase tugging the hem of her dress cold from the marble she sat on.

Turning to face her Klaus ran his hand over his face as his other shoved his phone into his pocket. Reaching forward Antonia caught his hand guiding him to sit down next to her keeping his hand encased in hers.

For half a second he was calm as he looked at Antonia, "That bastard took my family! He stole the coffins!" he burst out his hand flying out of hers as he threw them into the air. His face red with rushing blood and flooding emotions; rage, confusion and fear.

"Woah, woah, slow down who stole them?"

"The Rippah!" He exclaimed as he shot right up pacing back and forth in chaotic panic.

"Stefan?" She clasped her hands over her mouth, "Oh my God, let's go get them back!"
