She was there before the Mikaelsons became legends, before immortality, before the family learned what it meant to run from their father. And she was the first person Elijah ever had to let go of.

He sacrificed the one thing he could never bring himself to forget—and Y/N disappeared, leaving him to believe she was dead. Now, centuries later, Y/N returns to New Orleans. And Elijah has another choice to make. Hayley. Jackson. His family. His duty. Watching from the shadows, Y/N recognizes the pattern immediately.

She has already watched Elijah choose duty over his heart once. She won’t watch him do it twice.

She only knows the dangerous stranger she met in the woods—and for reasons neither of them can explain, she can’t stay away. Everyone in Mystic Falls thinks Stefan is beyond saving.
