Aria POV We both turned around at the same time but the surprise was for me. Klaus looked like he knew who was talking before seeing the person. He had this irritated smile on his face. In front of me stood a girl and not just any girl. She was dressed in a hot all sequin pink dress that reached her knees and hurt my eyes, her blond hair was tied up and showed her long neck. She had so much make up on her face that I could no longer see her real face and the perfume she wore was suffocating. I stopped breathing. “Who the hell is she?” I thought to myself. She didn’t even look at me. She had her unblinking eyes only focused on Klaus when she stepped closer to him and squeaked again with obvious sadness: “I’m happy for you, Alpha” “Seriously, Who the fuck is she?” I wanted to say it out loud but just kept quiet. Because once I saw the person standing next to her I understood who she was. Kathrine… Who just side glanced at me and I shivered again. I stepped back a little behind Kla

Aria POV “That went well” Klaus said nonchalantly as he dropped my heels on the floor and walked towards the bathroom. He took off his bowtie, jacket and started to unbutton his shirt revealing his muscular chest. Shocked with what he just said downstairs, I stood there not moving. I didn’t know how I should feel anymore. I was overwhelmed, confused, stressed and scared. “You will take the blood oath” my voice came out all shaky and shocked. “Huh?” he turned to look at me: “Yeah, look about that. I know I should have asked you first but I wanted to shut everybody up…” he sounded like it meant nothing or wasn’t a big deal for him. “Binding yourself with me by blood. If I die, you’ll die. If I get hurt, you’ll get hurt” the tears that I held back were now streaming down my face. “I know” he walked back towards me and stopped right in front of me. I stared at him and the whole room was silent but from our breaths. “Look, Aria I did everything and would do anything for you” he gentl

Klaus POV Everything happened so fast. I didn’t get the chance to process it, but the moment I felt Aria’s mind, I closed my eyes and teleported, hoping that she had just stopped the car at the right time. Luckily she did. I opened my eyes again, I was in the car and saw Aria holding tight onto the wheel with both her hands and she had her eyes closed. I touched her hand and she jumped in her seat in fright. She stared at me and took her a second to realize that it was me. She threw herself on me screaming: “Klaus” “Are you okay?” Her body shook violently and I could see fear in her unfocused eyes. “I’m now. Take me out of here” she buried her face in my neck. I looked outside and saw that the two cars that were chasing her now stopped a few meters away and men came out with heavy guns in their hands, heading towards us. They are here to kill, not kidnapping as I first thought. Nick and James are getting bolder which only meant they were scared of Aria. I smirked and pushed Ari

Klaus POV I sighed out of frustration and dragged myself to the bathroom for a quick shower. After I finished, I went to look for Aria and I found her sleeping in another room, so she was mad at me. Before I went to bed I mindlinked to Tory and asked for an update. She told me that the men they captured were all humans and were hired to kill the lady in the car and they even knew nothing about who hired them. But that was something I didn’t care about. It was already known that it was either Nick or James or both of them. She also said that Marion and Terry made it out of the car crash safely. Then I mindlinked my guards around the Villa because I knew that Aria might actually sneak out in the middle of the night and leave me, I told them to be vigilant. In the middle of my sleep, I felt Aria return back and sleep next to me. I smiled secretly because she couldn’t sleep alone. I grabbed her waist and pulled her closer to me and returned back to sleep. When I woke up the next morning,

Klaus POV I gradually opened my eyes and every muscle in my body hurt like I was poked by countless needles. I finally gained control over my body one more time. I tried to move but I couldn't. I felt a heavy weight on my chest. I hardly lifted my head up to find Aria sleeping on top of me and her arms clamping around me like chains of steel. Her hair spiraled on my chest and one of her legs fell to my side. “What the fuck happened to me?” I thought to myself. “Aria” my voice came out parched. I looked at her and tried to remember what happened. I closed my eyes again; we were walking, I stepped down and held a tree branch to push it aside when sharp pain shot through my nerves and then I was no longer in this world. I slowly raised my hand to see the biting marks. I was bitten by a poisonous soul. A poisonous soul was a person at some point in this life but died horribly and unjustly. It kept wandering the human world in any form, mostly animals, in my case a snake, trying to find
