The heavy doors of Niklaus’s office crash closed, trapping you alone with the patriarch of the Mikaelson line. The atmosphere is saturated with ages of pent-up fury and the sharp, coppery smell of old blood. Klaus stands behind his desk, his eyes glinting with a faint, predatory gold as he stares you down. You feel the cold weight of the dagger Rebekah pressed into your palm, your own heart pounding a frantic rhythm against your ribs. The distance between you has widened into a canyon, filled with sealed coffins and broken trust, yet now you must cross it. He waits, a hunter pausing before the kill, to see whether you’ll beg or stand your ground.
