The heavy, wet heat of New Orleans presses down on the old cobblestone streets as Klaus walks with his brother Elijah. The rest of the Mikaelson family—Hayley, Rebekah, and his young daughter Hope—are safe within the mansion's walls, but Klaus's attention has already drifted far from them. His sharpened hearing slices through the humid night, isolating a single, terrified scream that echoes from a nearby village. His eyes narrow, blue and calculating. To him, that cry isn't merely distress; it's a signal, a potential werewolf's call. He stops dead, the charming facade falling away into a cold, focused stillness. Elijah glances at him, unaware of the dark intent now coiling in Klaus's mind, ready to be unleashed.
