Eclipsed Hearts

Chapter 18: The Mikaelson's Resolve

Once they arrived back at the Mikaelson compound, Klaus wasted no time in calling a meeting. He gathered his siblings in the main hall, his eyes blazing with fury as he relayed what had happened.

Elijah listened, his expression grave. "Lucien has always been unpredictable, but this… attacking Caroline directly? He's crossed a line that we cannot ignore."

Kol leaned back against the wall, his face darkening. "He’s testing you, Nik. Trying to find out how far he can push before you break."

Rebekah's eyes narrowed, her voice dripping with anger. "He’s going to regret ever laying a finger on her. We need to find him, and we need to end this."

Freya, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up. "Lucien’s strength is significant. He may not have magic, but his physical abilities are impressive. If he’s planning something, we need to be prepared."

Klaus nodded, his jaw clenched. "Then we find him. We use every resource, every ally we have. I will not rest until Lucien is gone, permanently."

Elijah placed a hand on Klaus's shoulder, a rare show of support. "We will stand by you, brother. This is not your fight alone."

Klaus looked at his siblings, the unity in their eyes giving him a sense of strength. They would deal with Lucien together, as a family. And they would make him pay for every ounce of pain he had caused.
