His Noble Sacrifice // Elijah Mikaelson

"I thought I loved Stefan. I thought Damon's darkness was the most dangerous thing in Mystic Falls. I was wrong."
To keep Elena Gilbert alive, Stefan and Damon Salvatore made a deal with the devil. Or rather, the Original. To ensure her safety from Klaus, Elijah Mikaelson moves into the Salvatore boarding house. He is supposed to be her shield. He is supposed to be an ally.
But during a chaotic clash with Damon, a drop of blood changes everything.
When Elena's blood mingles with Elijah's, an ancient, dormant doppelgänger curse snaps into place, forging an intoxicating, psychic bond between the mortal girl and the ancient vampire. Under the same roof, right under the noses of the fiercely protective Salvatore brothers, Elena can suddenly feel every dark, centuries-old emotion vibrating through Elijah's mind. And he can feel her.
Every lingering glance in the hallways becomes a battlefield. Every accidental touch sparks a magnetic pull that threatens to tear Elena's world apart. Bound by blood and trapped by a cosmic gravity they cannot fight, Elena must decide if she is truly loving Stefan... or if her soul has belonged to the Original all along.
