I know exactly what Elijah Mikaelson is.
Immortal. Dangerous. The kind of man who could ruin me with a glance, and I think he already has.
I moved back to Mystic Falls for a quiet life. A normal job. A fresh start after losing more than I could bear. I didn't expect ancient vampires, werewolves in the woods, or to be caught between life, death... and him.
Elijah is everything I shouldn't want, older than time, sharp as a knife, and so calm it drives me insane. But when he looks at me, it's not calm I see. It's hunger. Restraint. Something dark and devastating hiding beneath the surface.
He's too close when he speaks.
His hands linger when they shouldn't.
And when he says my name, it's not just a name anymore - it's a promise.
I'm just a human girl with too much trauma. He's a vampire with a body count.
This should be a disaster.
But when he touches me, I forget how to be afraid.
He gave me his word.
I gave him my soul.
Now we're bound by something deeper than love, the kind of vow only blood remembers.

OC x Elijah Mikaelson
TVD season 2 onwards
The Dutton family had owned the Yellowstone Ranch for seven generations. Seven generations of Duttons were born, raised and died on the Yellowstone Ranch. They had been uncontested for years...until now.
"Ranching is the only business where the goal is to break even. Survive another season. Last long enough for your children to continue the cycle, and maybe, just maybe the land is still theirs when a tree sprouts from you." -John Dutton
Athena Dutton loved the ranch she was born on and had lived her life with only the thought on how she could continue her family's legacy. Being the youngest daughter and the unofficial 'favorite' of their father's was a blessing and hinderance to the woman who lived up to her name. She was named after the Goddess of War and she was prepared to fight for the Yellowstone, her family and the love of her life.
