Kol breathed out hard, looking up at his brother. “And if the girl I am tied to does not give in, not ever, hmm? Brother, what becomes of me then?” He hated the idea of being weakened. All he’d ever wanted, deep down, was for those he cared for to give a bloody damn about him. He knew that Klaus did, but that was his brother. And only one of them, at that. What if this mate of his, his other half, the one he knew he would care for above all else, did not return his affections and never did? It was his greatest fear realized and magnified. This was why he was holding back.

Klaus smiled softly, a rare action. His hand clasped his brother’s and he looked into his eyes, very serious. “She will, brother. Even if she does resist, there will come a time that she cannot do so any longer. It is the same with Caroline. Each day, I can feel her resistance to the idea of us weaken. It gives me hope, and it gives me the strength to carry on as I have.”

Blowing out a breath, Kol tried one last time. But the words were hollow, his heart, soul, and mind not believing them quite as fervently as he had just minutes earlier. “I do not want to give in to the pull.” His voice was a whisper, stubborn as a mule at that. 

Klaus chuckled and clapped him on the shoulder, turning to guide him toward their house so that his brother could pack and leave—the sooner, the better. If the pull was calling to him when he hadn’t even met her yet, then something was probably wrong. But he would not tell this to Kol, not when he knew that he already had him turning around to the idea. “You may feel that way now, brother,” he told him, “but once you see her, you will wonder why you ever felt that way. Cherish the bond, Kol. It is one fast disappearing for our kind, and we, as originals, and therefore our mates have the pleasure and the burden of feeling it the most.”
