The Space Between Heartbeats¹ | Mikaelson Brothers
Previously called Immortal Huntress. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Astrid should have died a thousand years ago. Instead, she was sealed away. Her body frozen in magic, her blood bound by forces no one dared to challenge. Born a witch, raised among werewolves, and entangled with the Mikaelson family long before they became legends, Astrid vanished from the world before history could remember her. Until she wakes up. Thrown into the modern world she no longer recognises, Astrid must navigate a reality ruled by vampires, fractured alliances, and names that once meant family. The Mikaelsons are no longer mortal men with loyalties still intact. They are Originals, shaped by centuries of betrayal, violence, and power. And Astrid's return threatens everything they have built. Her blood awakens something unprecedented. Magic still answers her call. The wolf still claws beneath her skin. And vampirism, old, altered and dangerous, binds her to the very monsters who once loved her. As old bonds resurface and new desires form, Astrid becomes the centre of rivalries, obsession, and choices that echo across centuries. Enemies want her destroyed. Allies want her controlled. And the Mikaelsons are forced to confront the one truth they buried alongside her. She was never meant to wake up unchanged. In a world that has moved on without her, Astrid must decide whether she will reclaim what was taken from her... or become something powerful enough to survive what comes next. Major Smut Warning!!!
