breaking the bond [ elena , the mikaelson brothers ] ✔️

"Miss Deveraux, thank you for calling me," Elijah said as he entered the witch's apartment, "I had just arrived at the airport when I received your message. Is Elena all right?"

Sophie led him into the living room, "She came to me asking what to expect during her pregnancy. She said she hadn't seen a witch in months," she looked pointedly at the eldest original, "In her current condition, that is unwise. Many things can go wrong with mating bonds."

"I wasn't aware," Elijah said easily, following the witch. He stopped dead when he saw Elena on the couch, passed out. He flashed to her and took her in his arms, "What happened?"

"She asked if I could tell her the sex of the baby," Sophie said, looking away from Elijah's intense glare, "I could. But she's not just having one baby."

Elijah's eyes widened in shock as he brushed Elena's damp blonde hair back from her face, "Twins? But I hear..." he listened closely, picking up on three additional heartbeats coming from his mate's body, "Triplets."

"It was a shock for her," the witch laughed nervously, "I've dealt with you before and I preferred calling you instead of dropping her off at your family's home. I hope you don't mind."

Elijah was stared intently at Elena's face. His hand caressed her swelling stomach with awe as he smiled. He picked her up bridal style and stood, "I should be taking her home now," he said, looking at the witch, "Thank you for your help, Miss Deveraux. I'm sure we'll be in touch."

"Of course," Sophie nodded, opening the front door for him and watching him walk to his car.

She made sure he was gone first before pulling out her cell phone and dialing a familiar number.

Yes?

"Do you want your kingdom back from the hybrid?" Sophie asked the masculine voice that answered.

What do you have in mind?

"We have something we could use against him," she said, a smirk in her voice, "Seems as if the girl that's been living with the Mikaelsons' is pregnant. And Klaus is the only one who can reproduce. If we can use the woman as bait, we can lure him away and kill him once and for all."

I like where this is headed, Sophie. I'll be in touch.

Sophie heard the line go dead as she looked around her apartment. If she could get Marcel to kill Klaus, then she could kill Marcel herself. The witches would be able to rule the French Quarter again.

Elena awoke in her bedroom. The lights of the French Quarter sparkled through her open window and she found herself smiling. She was at home, safe and sound. All too soon, her memories from earlier that day came flooding back to her. She felt the familiar anxiety creeping over her as she remembered that she not only had one baby to deal with, but three. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. In a way, three babies were good. She'd be able to make everyone happy, but there wasn't three of her. She still would have to make a choice and hopefully once the spell was performed, she would know who her true mate was.

Elijah heard her wake from downstairs. He quickly put a glass of blood in the microwave, warming it before he brought it upstairs. He knew she must be hungry after everything she'd been through today. He didn't bother knocking as he opened the door. Her smile nearly caused him to drop the glass he was holding.

"Elijah," her voice sounded like honey, "I missed you so much."

He returned her smile, making his way to the bed and handing her the crimson liquid, "I missed you, too, lovely Elena."
