Chapter Seven
One month later
It had been a long and agonizing month for both Klaus and Hayley with their emotions so unsettled. Klaus would not back down even with Hayley's constant distancing and rejection. With the influence of his beloved siblings – mainly Rebekah and Kol – he was more than determined to fight for Hayley's attention, as well as her affections. There were times he would give her the space that she needed, but instead of running the city with Elijah and Marcel he was chasing after Cami to talk to her and bury the hatchet between them, after all it was his fault that she was no longer human. Cami was angry and refused to listen to Klaus, not only because vampirism was forced on her due to her association with him, but there was also envy towards Hayley. Davina still considered herself Cami's friend and so when asked, the young witch told the new vampire all that she knew of Klaus and Hayley's relationship (unknowingly fuelling the rivalry between the two older women).
The female hybrid saw Cami two weeks after her transition. For the most part, things were awkward. They spent a few hours discussing everything including the arrangement to protect Hope. She hadn't planned to tell Cami but apparently the baby vamp had learned about it directly from Davina and got confirmation from a couple other people so there was no denying it. Hayley was good at reading people and gave Cami credit for her lack of reaction, but she could still feel some resentment coming from the blonde almost as if she blamed Hayley for taking Klaus away from her.
A few nights after Aya and the de Martel siblings showed up at the Compound, Ansel and Klaus's pack arrived in New Orleans. Elijah raised an eyebrow at Cary greeting Ansel like a father reuniting with his son after years of separation. Seeing the familiarity and ease with which they communicated the Original felt for his younger brother as he winced at the sight. The North East Atlantic Pack seemed slightly more cordial to the vampires than the Crescent Pack but given that Klaus had offered his aid to them before not to mention the Original Hybrid who connected them both it shouldn't have been too surprising.
Klaus, Hayley, Ansel, Freya and Rebekah had been the only ones who knew about the entire marriage and pack alliance arrangement and remained quiet about it. That is until Rebekah accidentally let it slip out to Katherine who in turn told Elijah. The couple were overheard by Davina and Kol – the former only told Cami while the latter informed the rest of the Abattoir residents and Marcel and Josh – so now it seemed everyone in their inner circles knew about this plan. Ansel and Klaus discussed it with Cary, who was surprisingly accepting and more than willing to step down to second-in-command for Klaus.
Not even a week after their arrival, Cary and his wolves along with Ansel pledged their allegiance to Klaus their new Alpha. The Original Hybrid was pleased with this development, especially the lack of resistance for his ascension and imminent union with Hayley (unlike the Crescents who were apparently feeling threatened and still opposed the idea of unifying themselves with their age old enemies). Since then, the North East Atlantic Pack were welcomed into the Compound and they in turn adjusted to Klaus's leadership. Although now an Alpha he was still below Hayley, she was Queen of the Crescents and no matter his werewolf bloodline his pack was weaker than hers and so he was the secondary Alpha. Not that it bothered him too much, he was still the King of New Orleans after all.
Everyone knew that Hayley wanted to remain steadfastly stubborn still so – aside from Freya – they stopped approaching her about dealing with Klaus. With it being an oddly quiet and threat-free month the hybrids were in no rush to aligning their packs. Besides, Hayley's conditions were still standing: at least five dates before an engagement and then a wedding. To occupy herself, the female hybrid had spent a lot of time with Hope, rebuilding their relationship, making up for what she missed out on. The mother was overjoyed that her own child now recognized her and always excitedly called her Mama.
Klaus would quietly watch them from a distance with his heart heavy but his lips pulled into a grin at the sight of his future wife and their daughter smiling and laughing. He would overhear Hayley telling Hope stories about her pack, about how she came to New Orleans, and her life story in general. His Littlest Wolf was starting to speak and was a more stable walker now, constantly moving about.
After a month of being her obstinate self (to hide her moping), Hayley decided that she needed to do something – she admired Klaus's persistence that she constantly repelled, but now she thought it was about time for her to approach him and get those dates that she wanted. She recalled moments when she watched members of Klaus's pack with Hope and could not forget the feeling of his touches or the warmth whenever he was close to her. She could not push aside her feelings and they were continuously growing despite her lack of interaction with Klaus. She always smiled at the sight of her future husband and their daughter playing and reading together, causing her heart to squeeze and joyous tears to brim behind her eyes.
Hayley woke up with a note next to her pillow saying that Davina and Kol took Hope out to the park and Freya wanted time with her niece when they returned so she and Davina could assess Hope's powers and help her keep them under control. The hybrid got out of bed with a smile. She put on a pair of dark navy skinny jeans and a white silk blouse and spent most of her morning cleaning up Hope's room and then decided to go out.
She realised the last few months had been about adjusting and she hadn't had much time for looking after herself. Now she had some free time ergo she shouldn't waste the opportunity to act on her more feminine tendencies. So she got a facial, manicure and pedicure, and changed her hair. Her tresses were long, nearly reaching her waist. She decided to go for something a bit different for once. Now her hair was just past her shoulders and an opulent ombré – the top third of was her natural dark brunette colour, the rest ran down red with hints of dark mahogany weaved into it. Hayley had her hair styled into natural waves before leaving the salon. She spent a couple of hours going in and out of stores, purchasing items with the credit card Klaus gave her. Compulsion probably would have been more convenient but she preferred to save that for supernatural purposes instead of mundane activities. Considering she was in a happier mood and ready to act on her feelings for Klaus (as well discover what that look he kept giving her meant), she strutted into Victoria's Secret and left the store with several bags.
"Woah, someone went on a bit of a spending spree!" Kat cried out when she the mountain of bags that the servants were carrying behind Hayley. "I'm a little hurt you didn't take me with you," She mock pouted.
"I needed some 'me' time so don't feel too offended and some of these are for you. Anyway, I was thinking it's time to get out of my funk, forgive Klaus, and then get everything he promised me." While the impending marriage was no secret only the Mikaelson women and Katherine knew about Hayley's conditions that would lead to their unification.
"The new hair looks brilliant by the way. Now, let's check out what you bought." The two women walked up stairs and began sorting through the numerous bags.
"Wow, you must've spent a fortune. Oh my God, these shoes." Katherine held up the tall, black platform Louboutin heels against her face. "So what's your plan?"
"I was thinking I'd wear slinky lingerie under my Burberry trench along with those heels," Hayley pointed at the shoes Katherine was holding, "Get Klaus's attention and then have things play out the way they will."
Katherine raised an eyebrow, "I thought you said no sex before the wedding?"
Hayley just shrugged. "I changed my mind… or maybe not. I'm not even sure anymore. I just want things to go back to the way it was where we didn't have to worry about anything for once." Katherine hummed and soon after left Hayley to get ready, making her way to her room she shared with Elijah to go through the things bought for her.
The female hybrid picked up the red floral lace bodysuit teddy lingerie, that had a thong bottom, plunge front and an extreme racerback with keyhole cut outs. Hayley slipped it on, fluffed her hair a bit, and touched up her minimal makeup. She put on her mid-length honey-coloured Burberry light trench (it was more a dress than an actual coat) and slipped the newly purchased heels on her feet afterwards spritzing on a little pink Chanel Chance perfume.
Satisfied with her appearance, Hayley left her room and made her way towards Klaus's. She slowed her pace when she saw that the door was open but with her peripheral vision she caught sight of Cami and Klaus standing closely almost about to kiss... The female hybrid nearly turned tail but her pride was not to be wounded today.
Thankfully it seemed that Klaus's attention was divided anyway, for as Cami's face inched closer to his he looked up and his eyes attached to the vision of the mother of his child a few feet away from him. When Cami saw him turn away she looked towards the doorway too, not surprised but still upset at who was there. For a moment no one moved. Hayley was about to continue forward so she could get to Katherine's room but Klaus vamp sped to her and pulled her into his room, shutting the door behind them. Cami flinched and bolted without any words to either hybrid.
Klaus kept his dark blue eyes on Hayley, taking in the sigh of her stunning long legs in those fuck-me heels; he can only imagine what she was wearing under that trench. He slid his fingers down along the buttons while his other hand stayed on her arm.
Hayley cleared her throat. "Everything alright between you and Cami?"
The elder hybrid stilled his fingers on her buttons. "It seems she is willing to forgive me for her vampire state but she's keen to not accept our upcoming nuptials." Hayley sighed but Klaus continued to speak. "Of course the reason behind that is her own envy which is warranted since I have the most beautiful woman as the mother of my child and hopefully soon she will be my wife and queen."
She smirked, mildly amused and yet comforted. "Aren't you sweet."
Klaus then continued his earlier ministrations with his fingers on her buttons and her arm. Returning her smirk, "So Little Wolf… is this all for me? Has my persistence finally come through?"
His fingers leaving goosebumps without even touching her bare skin, she nearly shivered. "No this is for me," Hayley fingered the buckle. "But… I also decided that I have been angry with you long enough. There's no point when all I can think about is you and your persistence is getting on my nerves. Plus, I think you owe me some dates." She bit her bottom lip.
He smiled and decided he was done talking. Klaus moved forward and pressed his lips against her silken ones. She returned the kiss while reaching for his golden hair. His nimble fingers ran down her body to the buckle of the trench to unfasten it then proceeded slowly to undo the buttons. Klaus opened the front of her dress without breaking their kiss and began roaming his hands all over her body, feeling the lace and her skin underneath. He moved his mouth to press hot kisses along the smooth skin of her neck, his teeth occasionally scraping the flesh. Hayley moaned softly, removing the garment from her shoulders and craning her neck to give Klaus more access as he pulled her closer.
She leaned forward and nibbled on his earlobe causing him to groan out and grip onto her slim waist tighter. As he captured Hayley's lips into a demanding kiss her hands moved to the hem of his shirt, rolling up the fabric while her fingers brushed his warm skin. Klaus refused to separate himself from her body so she torn the shirt right off his torso.
He growled against her lips continuing to kiss her passionately – it was so hot and erotic, Hayley felt herself get wetter. Her hands then furiously worked his jeans and boxers down and her left hand held his glistening cock and pumped him slowly spreading the oozing pre-cum. Klaus's thumb rubbed Hayley's hard nipples through the lace. "Ooh," left Hayley's mouth.
Without waiting any long he picked Hayley up, keeping her steady against the door. He moved her thong to the side and pushed his hard cock into her. Both groaned at the feeling of him being inside of her. Hayley arched her back and grinded against him, keeping her hands on his shoulders while he nipped at her bruised lips. "Move Klaus, please…" He obliged, slowly pumping in and out of her as he kept her lithe body between his and the door.
He began picking up the pace, giving her hard and deep strokes as Hayley shifted her left leg around his waist for deeper penetration. The door began to rattle so Klaus moved and set Hayley on top of a dresser.
"FUCK!" She cried out as his cock continuously hit her g-spot and her arm wrapped his neck, the other gripping the dresser. Klaus groaned and his hand slide between her legs, torn the lace there, and rubbed her clit – he could feel her tightening around him.
"Come for me Little Wolf." He whispered in her ear, triggering her first orgasm and kept thrusting in and out of her through her climax. After she came down from her high, Hayley could feel another orgasm brewing in the pit of her stomach but Klaus pulled out, delaying her.
"Klaus!" He then threw her onto his bed, positioning her on her hands and knees, and penetrated her from behind – pounding harder, faster, and deeper into her warmth. Her hair was a mess, sticking to her red and flustered face but she continued to rock against him, throwing her head back to try to keep the sticky strands out of her eyes.
Hayley purred at the feeling of his hands caressing her smooth, plump ass cheeks. He rammed himself even more furiously into Hayley and yanked two successive orgasms from her. Klaus buried his face into her neck and hair, whispering, "From the moment we met again, I knew you were meant to be all mine." Soon, he could feel himself tightening up. "Come again for me love." She could only pant heavily as he continued to hammer into her.
Klaus then extended his fangs and sank them into her neck drinking her essence as she climaxed. As her walls flexed against him, he expanded and spilt his seeds into her. He moaned as he withdrew his fangs and licked the bite mark.
After a few moments, he pulled out of her slowly causing Hayley to whine at the emptiness before being turned onto her back. His hand combed through her hair before caressing her face. Hayley hummed contently at his soft touch.
"Don't get too comfortable, I'm not done with you yet… It has been quite a while since I have had the pleasure of exploring your body so I intend to take my time." Klaus grinned then kissed her lips as his hands freed her body of the tantalizing lace.
A few more rounds of sex later, the two hybrids emerged from his bathroom – showered and dressed – with cheeky grins on their faces. The Compound was still alive with chatter from its inhabitants as the dinner hour approached. No one intercepted as Klaus followed Hayley to her bedroom where she swapped the trench for her outfit from earlier. Then she stood in front of the mirror and brushed her tangled tresses.
Klaus approached her while looking over all the bags in her room and inquired, "So how much did you spend today?"
Scoffing as she met him halfway, "It's not like I even made a dent in your bank account."
He nuzzled against her neck and after a few moments she chanced to ask, "What are we Klaus?"
He moved his head up to look into her eyes. "What do you mean, Little Wolf?"
"I mean, where do we stand right now?" Hayley knew it didn't really matter, in fact she could care less, but she needed to know how things would be from now until their wedding. Of course after the ceremony they would be expected to live as a married couple with a baby but at this point... maybe sex wasn't a good idea...
Klaus sighed and held her against his chest. "Nothing has changed. We will raise our daughter together as we always planned, we will have our dates, get engaged, and then have our wedding to unite our packs." He pulled back so he could look into her hazel eyes. "If we must put a label on us, at the moment we are co-parents who are also committed lovers and soon we'll be husband and wife." He said slyly.
Hayley's face instantly brightened up. She wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a chaste kiss on the lips. "I like the sound of that..."
Aurora walked the length of the room while her brother sat at the bar watching her pace and plot. The woman abruptly pushed over a glass vase in frustration. He only quirked an eyebrow at the broken glass on the floor.
Another moment passed and then Tristan queried, "What is on your mind dearest?" He picked up his wine glass and took a sip.
"I must get rid of that porcelain bitch." His darling sister released a sharp breathe. "Hayley's the only woman hindering me from getting to Niklaus. Cami has been taken care of, but the werewolf whore is still at his side."
Tristan pursed his lips, preparing to response when another person interrupted. "I can help with that." The siblings turned their heads to face a scowling Cami O'Connell.
The petite red head perked at the baby vampire's presence. "Now, this is interesting." Aurora looking at Cami with great curiosity. She took a seat beside her brother, commandeering his glass of wine without shifting her gaze from the blonde.
Tristan looked at the newly turned vampire carefully. He had an inkling of her purpose to seek out the de Martel siblings, but he was nonetheless intrigued by her arrival. "Camille, what brings you to the St. James Infirmary? I would have thought your charming Rousseau's was a more convenient establishment for you."
"I want in on your plans. I want to help get Hayley away from Klaus."
Aurora was surprised at Cami's confession. Asking with a condescending air, "And your desires are concerned with us – how?"
"Well we want the same thing don't we? To get rid of Hayley," The bartender took a few steps forward, "You know what they say, 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend.'"
"That's all...?" The Lady de Martel fired back, all the while smirking mischievously. "Don't try and hide it, darling. You want Niklaus for yourself."
Cami would have retorted with the same implication, but that impish face of Aurora's seemed to be daring her to do it. "Hayley did the worse thing possible to him and yet Klaus forgave her as easily as he would rip out his enemy's heart. I have always stood by him, believed he could be good, I stayed in New Orleans for him, and took care of his daughter, loved her like she was my own. It was always me he put first, Klaus even put aside his own siblings for me, but when Hayley's back I apparently don't matter anymore at all."
The red-head starting chuckling, "The brash convictions of a woman scorned. Cami, you are only the latest of conquests that Niklaus tossed aside when he was done. What I find almost as amusing is that I thought you were his special little human snowflake who could do no wrong or even think harm unto anyone."
Crossing her arms over her chest, "Well thanks to you and him I'm not human anymore, am I?"
Tristan then spoke up, "A favor to you indeed. To be a human is such a frailty especially if one is to live immersed among the supernatural as you so insist upon doing – immortality is the best bet for keeping oneself alive."
In her mind she thought about her life before Hayley's curse was broken and she wolf came storming back into their lives. It was blissful and everything she wanted in life and Cami believed that Klaus felt the same way. This time around things would be even better because she would be there forever. "There are perks..." Cami admitted aloud.
"Becoming almost an equal to Niklaus and having the chance for eternity with him is just a few of those perks, no doubt." The blonde shifted but said nothing.
"Hmmm…" Aurora rubbed her chin and thought for a bit. She looked into her brother's eyes that mirrored hers and a decision seemed to pass between them. Tristan filled another glass with wine as Aurora stood with theirs. She handed the new glass to the younger vampire. "I suppose your aid could be beneficial to us." Raising her shared glass, "So here's to an alliance between two scorned women."
Cami sighed with relief and clinked glasses with her new ally before taking a small sip of fermented grape. "So what is the plan? The sooner Hayley is out of the picture, the better."
"Ahh," Aurora shook her head, "Not so fast, we need you to tell us what the Mikaelsons themselves are planning."
"Fine. But killing Hayley would derail one of their plans-"
"Killing?" Tristan interrupted, "I had not thought that such a striking beauty's death was what we were aiming to achieve. Hayley Marshall herself could be of great use to us as well."
His sister came to that thought too, but she wasn't sure how it could be arranged. "Tristan beloved brother, the matter of whether to keep Hayley alive or dead can be decided later. For now," Turning back to Cami, "I need our little helper here to speak. What do you know, Camille?"
She raised her chin in a show of bravery in front of the vampire siblings and without further hesitation revealed the information she had.
Ooh! What a twist with Cami huh? Gone to the dark side hasn't she? We're going to go through another time jump soon, but this is only a small short jump.
Please leave your reviews :) I love reading them!
