Bloodbound

---

Magic is a chain.
It binds. It claims. It consumes.

Bonnie Bennett had always known this truth. Magic had chained her to her family's legacy long before she'd taken her first breath. It had chained her to the Salvatore brothers - to Elena - making her a weapon in the endless cycle of saving and losing.

But this... this was different.

The bond pulsed beneath her skin, ancient and dark. A tether. A claim. A hand tightening around her throat, drawing her toward the one person she had sworn to never trust.

Klaus Mikaelson.

The Original Hybrid. The predator who had hunted her friends, tormented Mystic Falls, and carved a path of blood across centuries.

And now, he owned her.

Bonnie sat on the edge of her bed, fingers pressed to her pounding temples. Her magic was raw, electric beneath her skin, and it wasn't hers anymore. She could feel him - Klaus - like a heartbeat in her veins. His presence curled beneath her skin, dark and possessive.

He was quiet now, but Bonnie knew that wouldn't last. The bond would pull them together. He would come for her. And when he did, Bonnie would have to decide if she was strong enough to resist him - or if she would lose herself to the darkness waiting beneath his touch.

Magic is a chain.
And this one might be unbreakable.
