Niklaus Mikaelson: determined, calculative, reckless. The sage man possessed attributes necessary for centuries-long survival. He had his given family. He had his acquired power. And he most certainly had control. One thing Niklaus Mikaelson did not have, was a pack. The less than honorable hybrid was no stranger to disguised foes and although cautious, Niklaus Mikaelson was most certainly not a quitter. One night, across a sea of deceased bodies, he meets a young girl who will give him everything he has always yearned for.
Maxine Mitchell: stubborn, callous, meticulous. The hardened girl had lived such a short life with such loneliness. Abandonment was a reoccurring theme across the board of friendships she had formed throughout her time on this earth. A pessimist from birth, Maxine Mitchell's opinion was not one to be swayed so effortlessly. Unlike Niklaus Mikaelson, Maxine Mitchell had no family, no power, and certainly no control - of herself that is. It is not long after her entrapment by Niklaus Mikaelson that she finds herself slipping into a world full of greed and sovereignty.
Will their own stubbornness be their downfall? Or will they be able to survive their enemies together?
