I've been getting more dms about updates. I'm working on it, I won't rush a chapter. I understand being eager to read a new chapter of a story that you enjoy. However, I can't magically make the chapter appear out of thin air, writing takes time. As of right now I have 10,000 words written but I estimate the chapter could be over 15,000. I'm hoping the length chapter will make up for how long it's taking.

Especially when you have a job, work on other stories, and have things to do.

But until I can update the full chapter, here's a look at one of the scenes.

.

"Now some of you may see the difference with Caroline." Klaus continues, pressing one hand to her lower back and the other over her stomach. "It turns out the wolf Hayley who I had believed to be carrying my children was working with the witches all along and had stolen my children from their true mother. Now they are back where they belong and the witches will soon pay for what one of their own has done."

Caroline forced a smile before moving toward Marcel's table. "Davina, thanks for coming."

"You said you needed my help," Davina replied.

Caroline frowned, tilting her head at the younger girl. "You know you don't have to help me just because I helped you, right?"

"Caroline, you saved my life." Davina countered. "I owe you everything."

"No, you don't," Caroline told her. "I didn't save your life so you would feel indebted to me. I want you to live your life how you want. I do want your help but I don't want you to feel obligated that you have to. You can say no."

Davina smiled. "I know, that's why I want to help you. You're not like everyone else."

"As long as you know you have a choice." Caroline gestured to the stairs. "Let's go see Katherine."

Davina smiled and linked her arms.

"You too, Josh," Caroline called over her shoulder as she started up the stairs.

"Coming." Josh quickly followed. "Hey, Caroline, any chance you have some blood bags lying around. I haven't eaten all day.."

Marcel tuned out the sound of Josh's voice turning to Klaus as he took a seat across from him. "You're in a good mood," Marcel said to Klaus. "You must really love the fact that Caroline is the mother of your children."

"It's definitely a gift," Klaus responded. "But before I can truly celebrate this turn of events I have responsibilities that I need to tend to." Klaus turns to address the crowd of vampires. "The witches have gone too far with their actions against Caroline. Actions they will pay for. However, since their Harvest failed, their magic will soon be gone forever. Now there has been a debate, on whether to kill them or keep them on their toes. I, however, want them dead, every last one. Diego, I wonder if you might lead a rousting in the cauldron. One that ends in blood and carnage."

Diego smiles and starts to plan with the other vampires.

Marcel smiled. "As much as I would love to shed some witches blood, especially after everything they put Davina through, I do have another girl to see so I will be taking a personal day." Marcel stood and left. Confident that Davina would be fine in the compound with Caroline there.

Klaus' eyes narrowed, wondering where Marcel was headed and who he was going to see. Almost everyone he knew was at the compound.

Diego and the others looked up at the sound of multiple voices and a group of men, women and even a few children walked into the compound.

Klaus smiled at Zack and the other wolves and walked over to them. "Caroline has been expecting all of you. She's currently occupied with helping someone who doesn't deserve saving but until she has a moment free why don't you get to know the place and divide up some of the empty rooms amongst yourselves."

"We will be staying here?" Zack asked speaking up on the behalf of the wolves who were more than a little surprised.

"Caroline has insisted that you all stay with us and what Caroline wants she will get," Klaus responded, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"What the hell is going on here?" Diego walked over, glaring darkly at Zack and his group of wolves.

"I'd like you to meet Zach and the rest of my pack," Klaus smirked. "They will be staying here at the ."

Diego's eyes darkened with hate. "You're kidding, right? They terrorized the Quarter for centuries. It's why Marcel ran them out of town."

Zack stared Diego down. "Wrong pack. We don't run from anyone. Not anymore. And we only came to New Orleans once we heard of Klaus's children."

Diego scoffed.

"What he says is true. Zach is of my bloodline. Not the New Orlean wolves and they are welcome guests in my home and every single one of you will treat them so or face my wrath." Klaus's voice hardened like a steel blade.

The other vampires started yelling out their protest.

"Quiet." Klaus thundered, eyes flashing, a growl emitting from deep in his chest.

Diego glared but was wary. "You expect vampires and werewolves to co-exist. You're crazy."

The other vampires started yelling out their protest.

"Maybe so," Klaus smirked. "But you will work together, starting today. Zack here will be joining in on the witch hunt."

Diego glared but said nothing. Klaus was in charge and as of right now there wasn't a thing he could do about it.

Please be patient with waiting. I promise I will update this story as soon as the chapter is finished but not a moment sooner.
