Klaus's POV:

As I sit on the roof of the Schönbrunn Palace looking up at the fireworks and I smile as I think of a raven haired beauty that I don't want to sink my teeth into. Instead I want to protect her and love her. Even thinking about her takes me back to the first time we met. It was my birthday celebration. I decided that this year it would be in my mansion in Paris. The theme that I chose was a black and white gala and every vampire that I have sired, that's still alive, I invited. My witch near me as my date so she can be better at protecting me. As I turn away from talking with a human that I took pity on since my some of my money is in his bank and a small body runs into me. I look down to see a petite, raven haired goddess wrapped in a grey ombré chiffon dress with silver heels that wrap around her petite feet. I notice what little makeup she's wearing is very pleasing rather than caked on. Her hair is up in a bun with some curls framing her face and I see a scar on her collarbone that wouldn't be noticeable unless you were really looking.

"Sorry darling, I wasn't watching where I was walking." I lick my lip as my throat is dry for some reason and yet my body feels electrified and yet I feel so much more relaxed than I usually do.

I notice a blush appearing on her cheeks as she moves slightly away from me, "It was entirely my fault. I was letting my feet guide me instead of my eyes." she says softly like an angel. I smirk down at her as I start taking in her little features like her perfect pouty lips, her adorable little nose, and her cat like mismatched eyes. Quite unique her left is a beautiful forest green while the other is light ice blue.

"Do you always allow your feet to guide you?" I ask as she shakes my head brushing some of the loose curls behind her ear.

"Not all the time, but sometimes they take me to places where I didn't know could be so magical and that's when I try to capture the magic."

"Oh and how do you do that?" I ask with a genuine curiosity while she starts walking away while a tango starts playing. As she turns her head as I quickly grab her hand and pull her into my body.

"A photograph or a sketch, I have to warn you Freckles. I'm horrible at ballroom dancing." She says as I see her blush deepen before we starts dancing.

"I just let the music dance through me and in my years of experience dancing is always locked up in a woman's heart just aching to be free. Freckles, what's that mean?" I ask as our bodies work with each other and play off one another's moves.

"Freckles, is because of your freckles, that are trying to hide on your face." she says as her nails drag on my face tracing some of their locations which makes me calm down and close my eyes while we dance.

"That seems reasonable, but what should I call you?" I ask as I put my hand on her hip pulling me closer and I feel my inner wolf wanting to claim her which makes me smirk.

"Well my name's Rayen, although everyone has a different nickname. I will let you give me a unique nickname, but nothing that's generic, a creative nickname that only you can call me." She says with a smile that makes me almost buckle from the purity in it and I hear heartbeat pick up slightly along with her scent. I chuckle as I quickly spin her out before pulling her back into me before I hold her to my chest. I lean down and take a deep breath in smelling her delectable scent making me bite my lip.

"Mm… you smell delectable. Vanilla and passion flower. What an odd combination, little one any meaning to them?" I whisper in my ear and I let her drag her nails on my scruff lightly.

"Not really I just enjoyed the mix." She says as I let out a deep possessive yet pleased growl deep in my chest and I notice a smirk. I quickly do another spin out once again except this time I gracefully drop her into a dip. I see that her left leg resting under her on the floor as her right leg is out and parallel to my own. I see her open her eyes as we pant softly and we both smile softly. Our eyes lock and we keep smiling as I bring her up on her feet again.

"Care for a drink Wonder?" I ask as I motion to her forearm and I see her smile noticing that I saw her tattoo.

"I'd like that." She says as I gently puts my hand at the small of her back before I gently guide us to the bar. "Though I get really sick from cheap liquor."

"What would you like? Liam will glad make you anything." I ask as I look at Liam making sure he knows that she's a guest of own. He hands me a mix of Jack Daniels mixed with some of our on tap O negative blood.

"I'll have a cherry martini please." She says as one of my inner circle comes over.

"Find out what you can on this goddess and report back to me when the night is over." I whisper in his ear and he walks away before I turn back to my little goddess and I tilt my head hearing that she has a slight allergy to mint.

"So how did you get in here Wonder?" I ask as I take a sip of my drink and she tilts her head looking at me sideways like a confused kitten.

"What do you mean?" she asks and I chuckle darkly.

"I have never seen you before tonight and seeing as though you are in my house in Paris. You cannot usually crash one of my parties." I say as I see her eyes widen as if she's realizing something. "Without being immediately escorted out by security and or by me."

"Your security sucks. I snuck in with a couple's invite that nicked off them." She quickly makes up a lie as Liam hands her a martini glass that has twin cherries attached by their stems as a garnish. "Thank you Liam." Liam blushes as she smiles and I chuckle. Seems as though I'm not the only one that can see her obvious beauty. I get an idea and smile.

"Smart. Would you like to look at the tower?" I ask as I gently guide her to the balcony outside and I wave my hand over the skyline behind her. She turns around and her body practically starts glowing as she takes in the sight.

"I've always wanted to see this." She whispers before taking a sip of her drink as we both walk to the stone bench with some light plants that are wrapped around the base. If I keep smiling like this then my cheeks are going to be so sore.

"It's a true beauty, isn't it?" I ask softly while we take sips from our drinks and she leans against my shoulder.

"It is. I wish I could take a picture of it." As she drinks her martini I gently rest my arm pulling her slightly closer and idly letting my fingertips drag on her bare arm. As she lays her head on my shoulder as we drink in silence and I hear her starting to hum lightly. I recognize the tune and smile as we both start singing.

"Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Barely even friends
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly"

I smile at hearing her singing fluttering through my memories and all of the times we have called one another. I quickly take a Polaroid of her glass and ribbon with the fireworks of the humans celebrating before putting it in an envelope. I quickly run back to my home and give the envelope to Greta.

"Use your magic to send this to Wonder." I order in my no nonsense tone and she nods at me.

"Of course Klaus." She says as she goes to her altar and quickly does a spell. I watch the envelope crumple up and disappear before she looks back up at me."It's done. It should be on her bed in California."

"Good." I say as I walk away and go to my room. I kind of dedicated my desk to finding everything out about Rayen. Everything from her Iron deficiency to her family's casino business to her least favorite food. I nibble my lip before grabbing my phone and calling her.

It doesn't even ring for very long before she picks up. "Hello?" I hear her melodious ask into the phone speaker as I hear the fireworks and some kids playing with something that's crackling.

"Happy New Year Wonder." I say with a small smile on my face.

"Happy New Year Freckles. How's the new year for you so far?" she asks and I open my laptop to see a video come up of the ranch that she is at. I zoom in and I see her with her kitten I got her on the top of her roof. I smile as I see her wearing pajamas and with her hair braided in a messy french braid.

I chuckle, "I'm talking to you that means it's so much better." I say as I see her playing with the necklace that I gave her and that I may have have Greta spell with a location spell so i can know where she is at all times.

"What a charmer. Does that usually work?" She asks with a teasing tone which makes me chuckle and smirk since she knows I like her teasing me since I'll do it back.

"I can't lie to you, but yes it usually does." I see her smiling and biting her bottom lip. "So when are you going back to your hometown?" I ask as I see her cousin jump and roll off the roof to go chase her cousins around the backyard.

"Tonight is my last night. We leave tomorrow morning at five." she groans and for some reason the fact of her waking up that early makes me genuinely laugh. Which I haven't done in a long time and honestly I enjoyed it. "You shut up. You know that I hate early mornings."

"I can just picture it. You pouting and falling asleep whenever you can." I say as I see the video zoom in so I can see her blushing and trying to hide her beautiful face. "And now I can bet you're blushing."

"I am not." she tries to say and it makes me chuckle.

"You're lying." I say with a smirk as I start committing this picture to my memory.

"Am not."

"Are too."

"Am not."

"Are too."

"Am not."

"Are too."

"Am not."

"Am not."

"Are too." She gasps realizing what I did and it makes me laugh again. "That's cheating! You can't do that!"

"Oh darling, I think I can and that i just did." I lower my tone knowing that it will shake her down to her core and I smile victoriously as I see her nibble her lip. "You should probably head to sleep gorgeous."

I hear her groan and nod at me she grabs and cuddle the kitten to her chest as she heads back into the house. I watch her through the windows she passes by before she gets to her room. "Yeah, you're right. What's this?" I hear her asking me softly and i see her looking at her bed.

"Just another picture for you to add with the one I gave you." I say as I watch her smile and sit down before having the kitten go onto her pillow to rest up. I watch her open it up and see pull out the picture I took awhile ago. "I want to give you a collection of these. Until we can get you to take these yourself." She smiles and lays down on her bed.

"You're so sweet. Thank you."

"Anything for the girl that had the bravery to crash one of my parties." I say knowing I can her her cute little giggle and I close the computer while I hear my door opening. "I'll stay on the line with you until fall asleep." I start humming knowing she doesn't like to fall asleep without something playing in the background..

"Thank you." I hear her thank me softly and I smile as I put on a Disney CD on for her with my phone next to it. I stand up and walk over to him.

"We have everything set up at the airport for the two of them to get their first class seats ready for them." Tyson says and I nod.

"Good. Now I want you and your California friends to keep an eye on her family until I say otherwise. Also I want you to help the casino to bring in more people, so get a job there and help them out." I compel Tyson and he leaves before I go to my balcony and look over the city. I smile as I feel completely content about my little native american goddess. "I can't wait till we're together. Always and Forever."
