New Orleans humidity clings to the cobblestones as Klaus and Elijah stroll through the outskirts. The Mikaelson family remains at the mansion, Hayley cradling baby Hope, but Klaus’s attention is elsewhere. His sharp ears cut through the ambient noise, catching a high-pitched scream echoing from a nearby village. His eyes narrow, calculating. To him, that sound doesn't just mean distress; it signals a potential werewolf, a creature he might eliminate or transform. He stops, the charm vanishing into cold, predatory focus, while his brother looks on, unaware of the darkness Klaus is about to unleash.
