Ties That Bind- Klaus Mikaelson
14 parts Ongoing "You're always trying to run away from me, love. But we both know you'll end up right back here."
"Don't flatter yourself, Klaus. I'm just very bad at directions."
----
Diane, a young witch with a troubled past, finds herself entangled in the dangerous world of vampires, Originals, and deadly secrets. Bound by a deal with the ancient and ruthless Klaus Mikaelson, Diane is forced to navigate the chaos of her own emotions while working to save Damon, her sarcastic and unpredictable friend, from a fate worse than death.
As she journeys deeper into Klaus's world, Diane forms unlikely bonds with his siblings, particularly Rebekah, the fierce but lonely Original sister, and Elijah, the honorable yet distant brother who harbors feelings for Diane. But Klaus himself is a puzzle-one moment, he's threatening her life, the next, he's protecting her as if she means more to him than he'll admit. As Diane fights her growing attraction to him, she's also struggling to keep Stefan's dangerous secret: Elena, his true love, is still alive, and if Klaus finds out, everything will spiral out of control.
With tension rising and enemies on all sides, Diane must decide where her loyalties truly lie. Does she risk it all to save her friends, or does she give in to the magnetic pull of the man who's both her captor and her protector? One thing is certain-nothing in this supernatural world is ever simple.
