Wolf Call ♔ Klena

1.3

A/N Long chapter for y'all!

Agonising pain, that was all Elena could feel in that moment. Raw, agonising, physical pain. Her spine had broken first, leaving her paralysed, unable to move. She still had hours until this was over and she already was ready to plead for death rather than go through this.

Klaus simply sat opposite her. 'Breathe in, Elena. Stopping breathing is not going to help.' Although his words were truth, they weren't soothing her into the state she needed to be. Instead, they angered her. Klaus didn't know the pain of turning, he did it within mere seconds. She shot a glare at him but took a breathe in, knowing she wasn't going to be able to hold it much longer.

'Klaus. You don't have to watch this.'She gritted her teeth and her leg snapped inwards and she fell to the ground with a sickening crack. Klaus smirk that had been plastered on his face soon found its way to a frown, a glint of worry in his eye.

'Of course I don't have to watch, love, but I'm here to help.' He replied genuinely taking Elena into his arms, straightening out her own back.

She howled at the pain but soon relaxed when she felt a little more comfortable than she had before. Klaus, seeing Elena's relaxed expression, made his way away from her only to be summoned back.

'No.' She gritted out, not being able to reach out to him but easily stopping him with her words. 'You're helping.' Klaus shuffled closer, tense and uncomfortable, but he would do what he had to for Elena so he sucked it up and pulled her close to his chest just as her other leg snapped with an unusually dissatisfying crunch. She cried out in pain, the tears staining her cheeks, as he awkwardly cooed in her ear.

An hour later, nothing had changed but her panting that had seemed to have calmed down as she waited for the next bones ripping itself apart. Her hair had grown as if to prepare her and the soft glow of the dim lighting glistened against her sweat-ridden skin.

Klaus pushed her hair out of her face to let her face cool down. 'Not too much longer, hold in there, Elena.' She smiled weakly and they made eye contact, Elena's head being rolled back against Klaus' chest.

He leant down and kissed her forehead. She let out a soft sigh and smiled. 'Thank you.' She breathed and Klaus let his lips curl just slightly at the ends.

'I've done nothing, love.' She shook her head defiantly.

'You helped the enemy. I thought you were paranoid?' She jokes and he just glares playfully back at her.

'You aren't an enemy anymore, love. We're mates now whether we want it or not.' They smiled at each other as Elena winced at the pain but it was cut short.

'It's happening.' Klaus announced quietly into her ear. 'Don't worry. This won't be hurt. Let the wolf in and I'll let mine in too.' Klaus finally let go of her, sighing in relief at how short her turning had been compared to many wolves.

As soon as he saw the wolf in front of him take form, he let his in.

Suddenly, Klaus was on the floor...so was Elena. They were wolves. They were beautiful. Elena's coat shimmered a beautiful white in the moonlight, though her face was seemingly a deep black, as Klaus' reflected his with an eery glow as the moonlit hit the black fur, his face shining a bright white. Beautiful really was the only way to describe it. Their contrast was undeniably a work of art, they were made for each other. Made to match in the most mysterious of ways. Her eyes shone a glossy brown whilst his represented the ocean, a mix of blue with an undertone of green. Their eyes met and Klaus knew it was time, Elena wasn't going to be turning back unless something changed radically so they only had one option- teach her the ways of the wolf.

They waited for the others to come in, called in by Klaus' rather obnoxiously loud howl. Tyler was the first to arrive, already in his midnight black wolf form. He growled as he passed Klaus but made no comment, seemingly approaching Elena. Klaus quickly barked at him and he took a step back, slowing down. That was the call of the alpha to stand down. It seemed that in wolf form, Klaus really had no control of his emotions and it seemed his protective, or maybe even jealous, side was revealing itself.

Caroline and Stefan finally walk in and takes all of Tyler's restraint to stop him from heading straight to their necks but it seemed Klaus was having no problem at all. Elena, on the other hand, was already making her way towards them. It was obvious that the wolf was dominant and it was likely that Elena had blacked out and wouldn't remember this afterwards. With a vicious growl, she leapt into the air, heading for Caroline first but was roughly tugged back by the nape of her neck as Klaus' teeth ripped into her flesh.

He didn't want to hurt Elena but this was the only option and it was clear that this was not Elena. He howled but nothing seemed to tick her off and send her back to her human mind. Klaus kept his teeth in her skin, the blood seeping into his mouth, to hold her back from the two fearful looking vampires. They were both frozen, both with awe and fear. This was an Elena they had never seen and a Klaus they had rarely seen.

It seemed to be too hard for Tyler to release when he jumped at Stefan but pulled away himself and ran into the forest. Klaus let out a silent sigh but dragged Elena back once again, letting her go and nudging his nose into her neck. This was the only tactic he had left, care.

Five minutes past and no other attack had happened but it seemed that Elena's eyes were still glossed over and she wasn't regaining control. Her eyes flicked often as if she was pulling for it but never did she get there. Finally, Klaus gave up, and licked her nose, a sign of deep affection for a wolf- one that he couldn't resist.

Elena quickly came back to life and stared at Klaus with fascination. She thought he was beautiful, majestic, more than she had ever seen in her life. She licked his cheek in return, not really knowing the true meaning of it but simply doing it on instinct. Caroline and Stefan glanced at each other, smirking, and made their way out knowing staying would test Elena's control just a little too much. Caroline and Stefan caught each other's eyes and gave a look that neither thought they would see from the other. Both blushing heavily, they left, letting Elena and Klaus do their own gazing.

There was no doubt that somewhere within their gaze there was love but they weren't ready just yet so they would take it slow. Both were glad for it because then they knew this was real. If they could really fall in love over years after years of hatred, then they really were ready for an eternity together.
