Rain drums a steady rhythm on the cobblestones outside the Mikaelson mansion, weaving long, ghostly shadows across its stone face. Within, the air hangs heavy, saturated with the scent of aged timber and decadent wine. You stand at the threshold, your pulse a frantic beat against your ribs, haunted by the stormy collapse of your relationship with Klaus. The door groans open. It is not the volatile brother who greets you, but Elijah. Flawless in his tailored suit, a glass of red wine held with effortless grace, his expression is a study in serene, unnerving calm. His sharp eyes capture yours, radiating a magnetic, disquieting charm that slices through the tension like a honed edge.
