*Chapter Forty Seven*

*Picture and gif is what Alvina will be wearing to the dance. I imagine Alvina a bit fuller, a little curvier than Margot Robbie but imagine her however you wish! It's from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood [Fucking love that movie ngl]... Also, I don't remember if I wrote it or not or if it was implied or not (it's almost 2:30 AM, give me a break, lol) but Alvina knows that the curse isn't the Sun and Moon Curse but a curse specifically placed on Klaus to lock his werewolf side. Not sure if that revelation has been made yet but with her formal relationship with Elijah, he's told her at some point. It's just a known fact now, just go with it.*

"At last... My love has come along... My lonely days are over... And life is like a song..."

The beautiful voice of Etta James sings through the small radio perched on the kitchen table. The house is dimming as the light from the sun begins to disappear below the horizon. Little Alvina peaks over the back of a couch spying on her parents swaying together in the kitchen.

Her father looks significantly older than her mother, despite all of them knowing he is technically the younger one, but age didn't matter to them. They still held each other close, tenderly as if they were the only ones in the world. Her head is nuzzled comfortably in the crook of his neck as his lips brush against her ear as he sings along with sweet Etta James.

Alvina sighs quietly as she watches them hoping that someday she'll have a love like theirs.

"Where'd you go?" Enzo whispers, snacking his arms around her waist. Alvina blinks a few times as she comes out of her memory. She smiles at her mate, leaning back into his chest.

"My mother was mated to a human," She tells him, her fingers gently gliding over his exposed forearms. He hums, moving his head to make eye contact with her through the mirror. "They were so in love it was impossible not to see, they were perfect for each other. It was never hard for them, everything seemed to come... naturally,"

"Hey, we'll get there, darling," Enzo promises, kissing the side of her head. "I know it's hard to see now but we'll get through this and come out better than we were,"

Enzo's hands grip her hips and turn her to face him. Alvina's hands press against his chest, their eyes reconnecting. Enzo can see the conflict in her eyes, can sense how busy her head was getting.

"When I was in Augustine I could never see a future for myself. I was going to spend the rest of my life in that cells and in their labs until they were finished with me. Now I'm here, standing with my beautiful mate with a promising bright future,"

Alvina smiles, her hands sliding up to each side of his face. His hands follow hers, gently cupping the back of them. She smiles, her heart fluttering when his head turns slightly inward to kiss her palm. His thumb gently rubs her skin before he guides her arms around his neck, his hands returning to her hips.

"At some point in the future we'll have all of our mates and we'll have that effortless connection they had. Everything worthwhile takes time," He whispers.

"You're right," Alvina sighs, resting her head on his shoulder. Her fingers play with some strands of his hair as his arms tighten around her.

"I'm always right," He murmurs, resting his head atop of hers. She smiles, snuggling into his embrace. "Don't worry about Klaus, love, you'll have him wrapped around your finger quicker than you think,"

"Oh? How so?" Alvina questions.

"Have you seen what you're wearing?" He growls, tightening his grip around her. "You're lucky I'm letting you go to this dance and not restricting you to the bed," Alvina bites back a moan, her legs rubbing together when his voice drops an octave. He instantly senses her arousal and growls again.

His hand leaves her waist and weaves into her hair. His fingers form a fist and yanks her head back. A moan leaves her lips before she can hold it back. His lips smash against hers. She hums submissively, her hands going back to his chest gripping his shirt.

In a heartbeat, Enzo speeds her against the wall. She gasps quietly at the force but continues to try and pull him closer to her. His hand leaves her hair to join his other one on the journey over her hips towards her deliciously bare legs.

Before he can lift her into his arms, she flips them around and shoves him against the wall. He growls, eliciting a smirk from Alvina. She teasingly bumps her nose against his, her lips brushing but not connecting with his.

A lazy smirk comes to his face as his hands shamelessly grip her ass. He pulls her even closer to him, eliminating any space that had been between them. Alvina digs her nails into this sides of his neck and drags them down to his collarbones. She grips the edge of his shirt and reconnects their lips in a slow yet dominating kiss.

Enzo releases a slow, deep moan. Everything about her entranced him. He felt as if he could never get enough of her. It didn't matter how many kisses he shared with her, how many nights they spent together, he would always crave her in every way possible.

Alvina traps his bottom lips between her teeth and gently tugs before releasing. Enzo snarls quietly, their heated gazes refusing to look away until a quiet whimper sounds from the doorway. Enzo's eyes instantly dart to the newcomer while Alvina smiles recognizing their scent.

Before Enzo could say anything, Alvina grinds against him harshly while her lips suckle on a sensitive spot right under his ear. Enzo's head instantly falls back against the wall, a moan louder than the one before leaving his lips.

"We have some time if you want to join us, baby," Alvina says, to Jeremy while keeping most of her attention on Enzo.

"Mmmm, you have no idea how badly I want too," Jeremy whines, readjusting himself. "But we really don't have time, the dance started like 15 minutes ago," Alvina hums, placing a gentle kiss on Enzo's jaw.

"We'll have to pick this back up later," She whispers, in his ear. Enzo growls, redirecting her lips to his. Alvina presses against him, drawing the kiss out before slowly pulling away. "Take a couple of minutes, we'll be downstairs," Alvina winks at him knowing he needed a moment to calm down.

"We will finish this time, my little minx," Enzo states.

"I'm looking forward to it," She whispers, brushing against his bulge as she walks away from him. He growls at her but forces himself to stay against the wall. "Come on, handsome," Alvina smirks, grabbing Jeremy's wrist.

"You-You look... wonderful," Jeremy compliments, as the two of them reach the end of the steps. Alvina turns to him, grinning widely. "Definitely have everyone's attention,"

"I don't want everyone's attention," Alvina says stepping up to him. "Just my mates," She whispers, lightly pecking his lips. "And may I just say that you look especially tasty in this vest," Alvina whispers, dragging her finger down his black vest. She bites her lips while thinking of him wearing the vest without the undershirt.

"You're insatiable," Jeremy whispers, a small laugh leaving his lips. Alvina winks at him, stepping even closer.

"Do you blame me?" She asks, tilting her head. "You and Enzo are very handsome and very sexy," She whispers. "And just so easy to tease. It's fun,"

"Alvina. Behave," Enzo states, approaching them.

"Just trying to keep things entertaining," Alvina shrugs, stepping away from Jeremy. Tensions have been high and she knew they would continue to be high for a while longer. So, what she wanted to have a little fun before confronting Klaus, sue her. "Come on, we have a dance to get too,"

The three of them highjack Damon's car and drive to the dance. By the time they arrive everyone was already inside enjoying the music and punch bowl. They walk in right on time to hear Klaus dedicating a song to Elena.

"I like his style," Alvina comments.

"I get that he's our mate and everything but he's still trying to kill my sister," Jeremy reminds her. Alvina gives him a small smile. She grabs his hand, giving it a squeeze.

"It's going to be alright, Jer," She promises him. "Just trust Enzo and I, we'll get everyone out alive," Jeremy sighs, giving her a small smile.

"There's Damon," Enzo points out. The other two spot him.

"And there's... Alaric," Alvina says, sharing a look with Enzo. "Come on," She pulls Jeremy towards Alaric with Enzo following behind them.

"Special dedication, huh? This guy's a little twisted," Alaric states, glancing at Damon to see his reaction.

"I'm not impressed," Damon deadpans. Alvina smiles a bit at the disappointed look coming onto Alaric's face.

"No?" He asks, looking as if he was one step away from pouting like a kicked puppy.

"I thought it was funny," Alvina says, announcing their presence. Both Damon and Alaric look at them. "This guy must have a sense of humor," She states, looking directly at Alaric.

"Well, how nice of you three to join us," Damon says, sarcastically. "What? Get lost?"

"More like distracted," Enzo smirks at him. Damon gags.

"Let me know if any of you see anything out of whack," Damon orders, before walking away from them.

"Why don't you take Jeremy for a dance?" Alvina suggests to Enzo. Enzo gives her a hesitant look. "He won't hurt me and I need to talk to him. Take Jeremy," Enzo sighs silently.

"I want a dance," Enzo whispers, in Jeremy's ear. Jeremy's attention is almost completely focused on him as the vampire presses his front against Jeremy's back. Jeremy drops Alvina's hand when Enzo lightly kisses his neck and picks up his hand. Alvina smiles, watching them slowly disappear in the crowd.

"I guess that leaves us," Alvina says, turning back to Alaric. She holds her hand out to him. He grins, his hand gently taking hers and lifting her knuckles to his lips. Her smile falters slightly at the lack of tingling from their touch. She knew their bond wouldn't start until he returned to his body and touched her but a part of her still hoped.

"In time, love," Klaus whispers, not needing a completed bond to understand what was going through her mind. He felt the same disappointment. "Come," He leads her to the dance floor and twirls her into his arms. His hand continues to clutch hers while his other arm snakes around her waist. "You are absolutely captivating," He growls, pulling her body against him completely.

Alvina smirked, loving the control she had over her mates. They were very easy to tease. All she had to do was show a little skin and they were putty in her hand. She felt pleased to know that Klaus was no different.

"Thank you," She tells him, her hand resting over his heart. "I'm sure you're handsome as well," Klaus smirks. "Where is your body?"

"On it's way to town," He informs her. "I'll be myself by tomorrow night,"

"Right in time for the full moon," Alvina mentions.

"Exactly," Klaus nods. "Why haven't you told your friends that I'm not Alaric, yet?"

"I wanted to question you before everyone else got to you," She tells him. He arches an eyebrow at her.

"Well, what would you like to know, sweetheart? I have nothing to hide from you," He promises. Alvina stares at him for a moment, wondering if he was being truthful. However, the only way to find that out is to actually question him.

"You know that Enzo and Jeremy are your mates as well, correct?" She asks. Klaus stares at her, obviously curious, but nods to answer her question. "Do you also know that Elena is Jeremy's sister?" Klaus presses his lips and slowly nods. Alvina's eyes leave his and fall to his chest. "I know you need her to break the curse," Her eyes go back up to his. "but it's going to destroy, Jeremy. He's already lost so much," She whispers to him.

"I wish it was anybody else," Klaus tells her. "You, Jeremy and Enzo are the last people I want to hurt," He says. "But you have to understand, I've been waiting for this moment for a very long time. I cannot wait any longer. My chance was stolen from me when Katerina killed herself, I thought all hope had been lost. If I let Elena live, there is no guarantee that her line will continue to live to produce another doppelganger. I can't live like this any longer, I won't."

Alvina stares into his eyes. He's silently pleading for her to understand. Begging her to not fight against him, to not try and stop him. Alvina naturally felt more inclined to keep Jeremy safe. However, Klaus has been living with a part of him locked away since the beginning of vampires. She could only imagine how uncomfortable, perhaps painful, that could be. She didn't want Klaus to continue living like that.

"You're going to meet resistance," Alvina warns him. "There are some here that are... very protective of her. I won't stop you, Enzo won't either. Neither of us are particularly fond of her but this will drive a very big wedge between you and Jeremy. A wedge that won't go away anytime soon. He'll come around eventually but if you rush him, if you force him into something he's not ready to accept, I will become your biggest fear and largest annoyance," She warns him.

"You have my word that I will not rush nor force Jeremy, you or Enzo into anything," Klaus promises. "As long as you consider coming away with me,"

"What?" Alvina asks, frowning her eyebrows.

"Once I break the curse I plan on creating more hybrids like myself. In order to do so, I have to search out werewolf packs. I want you, Enzo and Jeremy to come with me," Klaus tells her. Alvina stares at him for a moment.

"So, you're going to kill Jeremy's sister and then have him leave the only home he's known to travel the country with you, Elena's killer?" Alvina asks, slowly.

"What reason is he going to have to stay here?" Klaus asks. "Yes, I'll be looking for werewolves but I can also spend that time trying to make amends,"

"Or you can not be selfish and stay here to allow him time to grieve," Alvina snaps. "What rush is there? You'll be able to find werewolves later. The last thing Jeremy needs is to travel with you right after you kill his sister," Alvina growls. Klaus's jaw ticks. Alvina forces herself to calm down. "I'm going to do whatever Jeremy decides. If he says he's going to stay, I am as well. If he goes with you, I'll follow him. You may ask him once," Alvina stresses. "If he refuses you will accept his response and either stay with us or come back to us when you're done,"

"Are you always this controlling?" Klaus asks, his frown slowly turning into a smirk. "I like it," He purrs, his hands moving to rest on the exposed skin of her waist. "But don't forget who's really in charge, my sweet," He whispers pressing his head against hers. "If I didn't care about Jeremy, you would be coming with me willingly or kicking and screaming," He tells her.

"You're in for one hell of a ride if you think you're going to be able to control me," Alvina smirks. "I have Enzo and Jeremy's love, respect and loyalty. You have yet to earn any of that. Until you do, I'm the one in charge, my sweet,"

Klaus stares deeply into her eyes. His glare is soon accompanied by a devious smirk. His fingers dig into her side. He liked loved the feisty spirit in her. He loved the challenge he knew would come with her, and possibly the others. He would enjoy making her submit to him. All in due time.

Alvina forces herself to pull back when she hears a throat being cleared. All at once she remembers that they're in the middle of a school dance and that Klaus is in Alaric's body. She remembered that she's technically a student dancing rather close in a revealing outfit with a man who's technically a teacher.

She gives Enzo a sheepish smile, forcing distance between her and Klaus. Enzo gives her a look not even having to say anything to know that he's warning her to behave. He then turns to Alaric knowing it was Klaus. He wished he was in his own body but gives him a small smile.

"Be careful, the last thing we need to do is create a scandal for Alaric when he comes back," Enzo mutters quietly.

"Now that, would be entertaining," Klaus smirks. Alvina couldn't help but to grin in agreement. Even Enzo shrugged a little bit not denying his statement. "You must be Enzo," Enzo hums, smirking at him.

"Indeed I am," Enzo nods. He holds his gaze for another moment before looking at Alvina. "You figuring everything out?" He asks. She nods, giving him a reassuring look that she'd clue him and Jeremy in later. "Unless you want others to figure out you're not Alaric, I'd be careful," He says before looking at Alaric once more before going back to Jeremy, who's leaving the bathroom.

"Fancy some punch?" Alvina asks. Klaus motions towards the table. "So, wanna tell me your deepest darkest secrets starting with your plan for the ritual?" He laughs watching you grab a cup.

"I have everything I need and will have the ritual completed before the moon passes its apex," Klaus explains, vaguely. "I need to know if your witch, the Bennett, is going to try and kill me during the ritual," Klaus says.

"She knows who you are to me, she doesn't want to kill you," Alvina tells him. Klaus stares at her before slowly nodding. "If it makes you feel better, I'll be your body guard while you do the ritual," Alvina winks at him.

"My savior," Klaus smirks.

"Just found you," Alvina says, softly. "I don't want to lose you," Klaus's expression softens. She gives him a tender smile while lifting the cup to her lips. Klaus watches her, his mind slowly getting lost in his thoughts.

It startled him how quickly she was wiggling her way into his heart. One night and he wanted to protect her with everything in him. He hadn't hardly met the other two yet he wanted to protect them. He knew once he got to know them, these feelings would intensify. It made him uneasy yet excited, trepidacious yet hopeful.

He hoped that this... soulmate bond wouldn't end horribly. He hoped that it would be as good and precious as others said it would be. He could hope all he wanted but he knew he had to be cautious.

As much as he wanted to fall and submit to the bond, he had to be careful. Enzo, Jeremy and Alvina will quickly become his greatest weakness. He's Klaus Mikaelson, he can't afford weaknesses. However, he knew he couldn't just stay away from them which meant he would have to keep them close.

Not only will he need to keep them close but he has to find the final mate. Once word gets around that he's found the three of them, others will find out about the final mate. He has to find him before anybody else. He refuses to allow his enemies a chance to harm his mates or use them against him.

"Nor I you," Klaus whispers, staring into her eyes. Alvina smiles, giving him another wink. The small action seemed to release some tension in his shoulders. "Would you honor me with another dance?"


*It's 3 - fucking - 30 in the morning... I feel like this is a good chapter but I'll look over it later. If it's not good then I'll redo it. I hope you guys like it. I'm too impatient to wait to publish it. Love you guys!*
