24. Healing

Klaus gently laid Maeve on a bed in the guest room of his mansion. He could only hope she was well. It seemed so when her wound healed and her breathing went to normal.

As the sun began to rise, Klaus made his way out of his residence, checking on Maeve before departing. Later that morning, he returned from the warehouse to his mansion, seething with anger towards Stefan Salvatore. Upon parking his car, Klaus stormed towards the main entrance, only to halt in confusion at the sight of six individuals standing outside.

"Can I help you?" asked Klaus, rudely. All of them turned around swiftly.

"Are you Klaus?" asked the male who walked ahead of them. His curly dark hair were combed perfectly to the back. He had a short neck, long face and narrowed sharp eyes.

"Yes. Who are you?"

"Great. I am Ace. This is Florence, Lollita, Jack, Ben and Penelope. We are from the Kalon pack." introduced Ace. "Alpha...I mean, Maeve wasn't at her apartment when we reached. Do you know where she is?"

"I know where she is. Please come in." Klaus graciously invited them in. Klaus walked ahead of them leading them in the parlor of his yet to be completed mansion.

A disgusted look spread across all their faces making them repulsively turn their heads away when Klaus responded, "She's asleep upstairs."

"Ugh. You could have just said she's with you." said Ace with a disgusted grunt.

"Not like that." Klaus paused before continuing, "something happened last night." He narrated everything that happened last night.

Klaus had heard stories since the mid nineteenth century of the Kalon pack. The pack, was dangerous and strong. He knew how protective the pack would get if harm even looked at their Alpha. As the raging expression crawled onto their faces, he wouldn't say one more word than was necessary for him to complete the story.

"Is she okay? Where is she?" Ace turned around, scanning the under construction building as if he could find her in there.

"She is fine. Her wound is healed." told Klaus gaining Ace's attention again. "She is upstairs in the guest room. She will feel alright as soon as the effects of the silver go away."

The tired voice of Maeve came from the door saying, "Yeah, that hangover doesn't seem like it's gonna go away anytime soon.". Ace immediately went to her side, placing both his hands on her arms.

"Are you okay?"

"Gently, Buffon! I'm still in slight pain." grimaced Maeve. Ace pulled his hands away letting Maeve walk in the room. She limped on one leg as she stumbled into the room. She went right up to Klaus. Klaus smiled at her.

"Glad you're okay." said Klaus. Maeve smiled back and hugged him.

"Thank you Klaus." said Maeve.

"You're most welcome." Maeve broke the hug and turned to her pack members again.

"I'm fine you guys. Stop worrying."

Florence shook her head deciding to speak first. "This isn't us worrying. Klaus told us he fed you his blood. It means you're fine. This is us planning something about Damon."

"Not anymore. I have it sorted out." Ace declared.

"Two things." said Maeve in a sudden commanding tone. "First, let's all agree this remains between us. No one is going to say anything to Zeke or auntie. And second, no one is killing Damon."

"The hell we're not killing him! Did you forget last night?" asked Jack.

"I remember. But killing won't send a message would it? Ezekiel once told me, I need to send a message, I need to tell him who it is that he messed with." Maeve raised a single eyebrow telling them what she meant. "Why don't we show him?"
