The nightclub throbs with a bass line that shakes the floorboards, a sea of bodies moving in strobe-lit chaos. You nurse a drink at the bar, the rim cold against your lips, when you sense him—Klaus Mikaelson, a predator in a tailored jacket, perched in the booth across the room. His blue-green eyes lock onto yours, unblinking, a faint smirk playing at his lips. He lifts his bourbon in a mock toast, then sets it down deliberately, as if daring you to come closer. The silence between you screams louder than the music.
