Long before the blood moon rose, before Kaelen's name was ever whispered into the wind, there was another. A healer's apprentice with fire in her soul and secrets buried in her veins.
When a wounded stranger stumbles into her world, carrying forbidden magic and an omen she was raised to fear, she must choose between the path of tradition and the pull of something ancient - and dangerous.
This is the story of the first soulbond. Of the roots that tangled long before Kaelen's birth. And the woman who risked everything to call her into being.
A prequel to Daughter of the Blood Moon*, this novella stands alone - a tale of love, loss, and the legacy of magic carried in whispers beneath the ash tree.*

Bound by Moonlight | Klaus Mikaelson |
Centuries ago, before Klaus Mikaelson was a legend - before the curse, before the name became something to fear - he was just a boy in the woods. And there was a girl. She wasn't meant for war or power. She didn't command the world around her. But she could calm the storm inside him. Long before marriage tied her to the Mikaelsons, she was already family - not by blood, but by something deeper. Then came the magic. The blood. The beginning of the end. To save them, she gave up everything. Her name, her place, her past. Wolves who feared nothing turned their heads when she passed - not out of fear, but something closer to reverence. Even as a vampire, her blood still whispers of the old world. Now, centuries later, she walks the edges of their world again - hidden from Elijah, tied to Klaus by secrets no one else remembers. Their bond was never loud, never simple. It was friendship before love. And friendship after betrayal. But nothing stays buried forever. What happens when the girl forgotten by time must choose between the man she once saved... and the one she may become?
