Her Purpose || Kai Parker

Chapter 85

The air in the Mikaelson compound crackled with tension as a witch from the French Quarter coven stormed in, her eyes fixed on Estrella.

Niklaus barely had time to react before the witch raised her hand, magic surging forward like a striking snake.

Freya quickly reversed the aneurysm spell cast across the room.

Estrella winced as black veins spread across her skin, her magic being reversed and twisted back on her. Elijah pulled her close, protectively, as the others formed a shield in front of them.

"What business do you have here, witch? You dare attack my home and my guest?" Niklaus threatened, his golden eyes glowing with fury.

But even his rage couldn't penetrate the protective circle the witch had cast from her necklace.

"Nala, what are you doing here?" Vincent asked, confused as to why a witch from his coven would know or attack Estrella.

Nala's eyes flashed with anger. "My coven tried to stop me from confronting you, but you dared to enter this city after what you did to the witches in North Carolina?" she spat, her voice dripping with venom. "Your children... they're abominations, just like you. You should never have been allowed to live."

"Enough," Elijah warned, stepping forward, his voice sharp and dangerous.

"If you think I will let you insult our friend and remain alive, you're gravely mistaken." He gently moved Estrella towards Rebekah, preparing to stand beside Niklaus.

"I'm not here for you," Nala snarled. "I only want her. I'm here to avenge my sisters."

Estrella's breath hitched, her heart pounding. "Your sisters?" she whispered, fear creeping into her voice.

Nala's eyes narrowed. "Christina and the others. The ashes should have worked..."

"What ashes?" Davina asked, her eyes narrowing with suspicion.

Estrella froze, her stomach twisting with dread. Ashes? How did she know about the ashes?

Fear quickly turned to fury. Red magic flickered at Estrella's fingertips, swirling and pulsing like molten lava.

Her calm demeanor shattered as she walked forward, her steps deliberate.

"Estrella..." Rebekah warned cautiously.

"Take her away, please," Estrella said, gesturing towards Hope.

Cami hurried upstairs with Hope, ensuring her safety.

Nala raised her hand to attack, but Estrella lazily flicked her fingers, stopping her effortlessly.

Again, Nala tried, this time aiming at her belly. Freya and Vincent quickly intervened, pushing Nala away.

But Nala countered the spell, standing her ground. Davina stepped in, freezing her in place.

Estrella's magic flared into a ball of glowing red power as she grabbed Nala's necklace, snapping it into pieces.

"Niklaus," Elijah began, but Niklaus cut him off with a smirk.

"Let the witches have their fun," he said, dismissively.

"You're trespassing in this home," Estrella said, her voice cold, fingers twitching as her magic spiraled around her.

"And I want you to leave," she added, hurling the red magic towards the witch.

The force sent Nala flying across the courtyard, her body slamming hard into the ground.

The Mikaelsons stood in silent astonishment, watching as Estrella stepped forward, red magic swirling around her like a violent storm ready to be unleashed.
