The Forgotten Mikaelson and Her Whale
Ainsley Rose Kingston, formerly Ainsley Rose Mikaelson, is the youngest daughter of Klaus Mikaelson and Hayley Marshall, and the younger twin of Hope. Ainsley wasn't always pushed aside by her family-that started after Aunt Dahlia became a threat to Hope, the firstborn, who everyone believed was the most powerful. After all that happened, everyone seemed to forget about Ainsley-everyone except for her "big brother" Marcel, her Uncle Kol, and her Aunt Davina.
When things got really bad with her family when Ainsley was five, Kol got in contact with some old friends of his-James and Lauryn Kingston. Ainsley went to live with them, albeit hesitantly, as she didn't want to leave behind the three people who had always been there for her. But she did, knowing they would keep in touch and never forget about her as the others had.
James and Lauryn were more than happy to take the girl in. They already had a son the same age as her-Xavier Ross Kingston. They had always wanted a daughter, but they would never trade their son for the world. Xavier was thrilled to hear the news that he would be getting a little sister. It had always been one of his biggest wishes-to have a younger sibling, boy or girl.
Over time, Ainsley adjusted to her new life with the Kingstons. Living near the coast, she developed a deep connection to the ocean-it became her refuge whenever she felt overwhelmed or alone. One day, while exploring the rocky shore near the family's home, she encountered a young male orca separated from his pod. Instead of fear, she felt an instant pull toward him. The orca, sensing her calm and gentle nature, allowed her to approach closer than anyone else could.
Because after years of feeling unseen, Ainsley finally found what she had always longed for-a family that chose her, a love that grounded her, and a world that would never let her fade into the background again.
