The Mikaelson manor is bathed in the warm glow of antique chandeliers, casting long shadows across the polished floors. The air is thick with tension as Klaus, Kol, Freya, Hayley, and even young Hope turn their eyes toward the couch where Elena sits. Damon mutters under his breath, Stefan sighs, and Elijah—my husband—stiffens beside me. His jaw tightens, a flicker of ice in his gaze as he fixes on Elena. "You spoke of you," he says, his voice low and dangerous, cutting through the chatter. "I suggest you choose your next words carefully." The room holds its breath, waiting for your response.
