Klaus's Pet Book 1

11

Hayley POV:

I'm making breakfast for Hope when Klaus walks in and grabs a blood bag. He put Loreli on bed rest while she heals from the wolfsbane. A normal wolf would've been dead two times over with the amount Tyler had given her.

"How's she doing?" I ask as I flip another piece of French toast onto a plate.
"She's arguing about being on bed rest so if say she's improving." Klaus says and gives Hope a kiss on the forehead

I set down a plate for myself and Hope.
"Hey honey I'm sorry our plan for hide and seek didn't work out." I say

I wanted to apologize sooner but Hope had gone to bed and I didn't want to wake her.

"It's okay Mom. Loreli needed help." She says

I take a moment to absorb the information.

"You heard that huh?" I ask
"Yeah." She says and takes a bite of her French toast
"I didn't say anything because I didn't want you to worry." I tell her
"I know. She's going to be okay right?" Hope asks
"Yes honey. In a few days she'll be up and back to her old self." I reassure her

Klaus POV:

I walk into the bedroom. Loreli is laying in bed arm over her face, shielding her eyes from the sunlight. I think she's sleeping and I turn to leave when I hear her speak.
"What day is it?" She asks groggily
"Tuesday love." I answer

I go sit down on the edge of the bed.

"Is he dead?" She asks, not moving
"Tyler got the punishment he deserved." I say

I'm not sure if I should tell her what happened. As a wolf herself she understands what its like changing every full moon.

"I brought you a blood bag." I say and hold it out to her

Changing the subject worked. She thanks me and snatches it. Sipping it quickly.

"How much longer on my house arrest?"

I chuckle.

"You can't be on house arrest if you can't even get out of bed love." I say

"Fair enough. I just hate being cooped up in here." She says then turns her attention back to the bag.

"Only a day or two until the wolfsbane has completely left your system I promise." I say
"Good then maybe I can go visit Emma." She says

I'm taken aback for a moment.

I didn't think she would actually go. She seemed to have brushed the idea off before.

"It won't be for too long Nik. I just need to get out of here for a bit. I promise I'll keep in touch." She says
"You can go but only if you promise to stay in that bed for the next two days. I put you on bed rest, do t think I won't enforce it. If you aren't improving in the next few days, you aren't going until you're better." I say

She smiles at me.

"I promise I won't go anywhere until I'm better. Warm blood would be nice though." She says
"I'll see what I can do." I say

I take the empty bag from her hands and give her a kiss and leave, gently closing the door behind me.

I rejoin Hayley and Hope I'm the kitchen.

"She's going to Georgia in a few days to visit Emma." I say
"Is that really a good idea? Considering what happened last time?" Hayley asks
"She'll be alright. Emma is the Alpha now and from what I know they used to be close."
"Five years is a long time Klaus."
"Luckily she isn't just a wolf anymore. You've been training her. She should be fine."

I am worried about this trip but I don't want to scare Hope.

"What are you up to today love?" I ask my daughter
"Do you want to paint with me?" She asks
"I'd love to."

They finish breakfast while I quickly go out to feed. Then I switch with Hayley so she can feed and now we all sit at the table painting. Hayley paints a flower while Hope focuses intently on her butterfly.

"Damn it!" Hope yells out of nowhere
"Whats wrong sweetie?" Hayley asks concerned
"I just messed up my buttetfly." She says with a sigh
"You know I spent quite a bit of time trying to get my art exactly right but I realized its more about enjoying what you're doing." I say
"I guess." Hope says
"I think you did amazing love." I say

She smiles.

She paints better than I did at her age.

I guide her on how to mix paint and she comes out with a beautiful lavender color. She loves it so much that she paints the butterfly lavender and decides not to redo her painting.

I smile.

That's my girl.
