37 37. Stay strong.

Stella stood up and walked up to her daughter. Then placed her hands reassuringly on her shoulders. "She's only human. She can easily be dealt with. This is not even a war. Worry about the warlords and leave the mortal to me."

Clara breathed in deeply calming her nerves down. Her mum was right she just had to remain calm if she continued in this state then she was not going to be able to think properly. There was nothing like a calm mind in the face of tribulations she herself knew that but the human roaming about as the kings mate just got her on an edge.

Calmer now she sat Down on her bed although she was still enraged. "She might be only human but she is his soul mate."

"Not yet fully." Her mother corrected.

"What do you mean not yet fully! Lucius tried to kill me because of her! The Lucius I know protected me and loved me. But you should see the way he looked at her when he saw her, he was transfixed. King Lucius ruler of the vampire kingdom lost control of himself because of a woman." Clara laughed bitterly. "And that woman wasn't me, it just wasn't. It was her, the damn clueless human! Her weakness disgusts me and I'm sure it will disgust every other vampire. Lucius just has to come to terms with the fact that this, this kingdom here is no place for the weak not to mention the throne. He's making a grave mistake and I must show him that."

"It's not in your place Clara. You are a not an elder. Telling him that would be overstepping your boundary and you just might end up infuriating him the more. It's best that this be dealt with diplomatically, if not, he might just lose every love and respect he has for you. If that happens it doesn't matter if you succeed in eliminating the human, he will never be yours." Stella spoke softly hoping her daughter would reason instead of feel. "The truth is right now the enemy of his soul mate is also his enemy. Do you want to be his enemy?"

"Then what so you suggest mother."

"She is his mate I agree with you but she is not yet his soul. They have not made love yet, hopefully. She becomes his soul and gains her true powers after they make love. That's what the prophecy says my child. Unless he mates her tonight which I hope he won't. This night can't be his night of sin."

"Let the prophecy be damned!" Clara fumed jumping up from her bed.

"That's not the issues here. This is the prophesy."

Clara shoved her fist into the wall breaking it and destroying a priced painting. "I could see it in his eyes how he adored her. He practically worshipped her."

"Calm down Clara!" Stella yelled, she stood up too.

She was angry with her daughter now but she still threaded with caution. Everyone knew that when Clara was enraged she becomes viciousness in person. She had wiped out a whole town once when she thought Lucius was dead. She barely ever reasons when angry and only comes to regret her actions after she was calm.

Lucius had gone to a battle without informing anyone. It was a battle with the a coven up north ocean city. He didn't tell anyone about the battle because he didn't want to risk anyone besides he was so angry with the particular coven he took it upon himself to end them.

The coven had enraged Lucius beyond control by ordering the killing and execution of over 100 vampires. That war Lucius decided he was not going to miss. There were 2 things Lucius hated so much 1. People crossing their boundaries. 2. People crossing their boundaries.

Lucius was rumored dead when he was found missing and though Clara knew it was impossible as she still felt his life force clearly proving he was not dead. She still went on a rage killing a whole town of warlocks in cold blood without reason. The town caused no trouble to the vampire's and the witches there were weak. She preyed on their weakness something Lucius would not have accepted. Something her herself didn't quite appreciate.

"We need to end her mother. Only when that mortal is dead can I be calm not before then." Clara said turning to face her mother. "Mother please you have to help me end her. Please."

Her mother understood what she meant and nodded. She hugged her daughter and stroked her hair lovingly. "She will be gone soon baby, I promise. You just wait and see.
