"This ridiculousness needs to stop now" she grabbed the father of her child by his elbow and leaned closer "You and I need to talk" Klaus faked an offended "oh" as he allowed the female hybrid to drag him out of the crowd from his arm like a disobedient child. The wolves watched them while Klaus galloped behind her in a detached fashion and slowly they both disappeared in the fog, leaving every one staring at their back in bewilderment.

The rain pounded the bayou in heavy sheets, the drops were bigger than hailstone, making a drum stick sound as they fell on the wet ground. Hayley was soaked from head to toe and she cursed herself for wearing her cotton jacket that day instead of her leather coat. Her hair clung to her tanned skin in small wisps, covering a big part of her forehead. She looked at the original hybrid who was equally as wet soaked as her.

"The Alpha of the Alphas? really what was that?" Hayley snorted at Klaus who watched her with a blitheful smirk while she threw her hands into the air.

"isn't this true? anyway why did you bring me here" he looked around in a circle, checking his foggy surroundings.

"No you tell first me why on the earth are you here" she snapped as she creased her brows downward.

"We do not answer a question with another question little wolf but anyway... I simply came here to fetch you" he plainly said, still wearing that provocative smirk he liked so much.

"First of all, The ceremony will start in thirty minutes so I won't be leaving before the sunset. Second, why do you need to fetch me?"

"Because you refused to let Elijah escort you hence I'm obliged to take his place" he dimpled at her with an innocent look.

"But I believe you're smarter than Elijah and you know that I'm more safe in the bayou than in any other place. SOO please enough with your petty over-protectiveness. I can pretty much take care of myself, something you and your brother find it hard to grasp" she justified heatedly. Klaus smug smile faded out slowly. He opened his mouth to speak but found himself at loss of words. And without making a sound, he turned on his heels then waddled away from her.

"Where are you going?!" Hayley bawled at him in confusion.

"Like your new Alpha said, it's preferable I "bugger off". You're better off with your party pals after all. And I guess my assistance is unneeded" He turned back quickly and croaked with a voice as cold as his appearance.

"Klaus" she said with a leveled tone as she walked towards him "The wolves have never been big fans of you. I believe it's preferable you stay away from here for the benefits of all. As for Jade, he's gonna be the new alpha and the least thing I wish to happen is to lose him as an ally so you.." she didn't get to finish her words when he snapped at her "And who's this Jade huh? is he gonna propose like the last one and end up laying on Rebekah's bed wearing my own satin pajamas" Hayley frowned at his abrupt speech but felt partly amused by his overt jealously when she mentioned Jade's name. was it jealously? she secretly hoped so.

"This is utter bullshit and please stop screaming, there are wolves who can hear this nonsense" she ordered before she walked past him "let's get away from here"

"Where?" he questioned as he stared at her back.

"There is a small uninhabited cabin somewhere over that hills" she looked up through the fog that loomed over like a thick grayish smoke "I suppose it's there" she pointed with her finger upwards. Klaus followed her as she moved forwards.

"She doesn't answer my phone, I swore I heard her screaming before she hung up" Elijah muttered anxiously to himself. Kol watched him as he paced the room.

"Klaus doesn't answer his phone, Hayley either. Why does everybody in this freaking family have a phone if they're most of time unreachable?" He croaked as he rested his hand on his forehead.

"Lemme tell you something, you look for klaus and Hayley, I take care of Freya" Kol stood up.

"No You will stay here, I've had enough of people not listening to what I say. No one leaves this bloody house" Elijah began to lose his temper "do you understand"

"Did you just brought me from the city of the dead to keep me locked here" Kol questioned in a complaining tone.

"Unless you want to die for good this time, you ought to do exactly what I say" Those were Elijah's final words before he stormed out of the room. He was on his way to leave the compound when he saw Freya standing at the end of the corridor, her sweater stained with blood as well as her hands.

"Freya!" he exclaimed, dread mixed with surprise washed over his face. Elijah strode towards her and held her shoulder "Are you alright" he questioned as he eyed the rest of her body to spot any injuries.

"I'm totally fine and that's the problem" she replied while rubbing her hand against her left arm. Her face was pale like a sachet of aspirin.

"Sister what happened to you" Kol whooshed next to her.

"a dog bit me. I lost conscience but when I woke up I found myself sitting in the car. And my wound was already mended" she explained as she showed her arm to them. Elijah and Kol glanced at each other in astonishment.

"This is strange. It's as though a vampire has healed her" Kol commented and he received a nod from his older brother "Exactly" Elijah affirmed.

"There is nothing here except the piles of logs, are you sure about the cabin location"Klaus questioned.

"Last time I climbed this hill I saw it, it was small, with a red door. But the fog is so thick I can't even make it out" she narrowed her eyes as she tried to discern the black silhouette that began to appear from afar "I think it's over there" she stated.

After walking a few miles, they finally broke free from the oppressive mist and stopped in front of the cabin. The door was already open and they dashed in hurriedly.

"This place smells like dead rats and old shoes" Klaus gnarled while pinching his nose with disgust.

"Someone had forgotten the laundry" Hayley spotted a dirty pile of clothes on the dusty floor and decided to drop them of the window "Problem solved" she smirked at him before she closed the door. The room was narrow and over-furnished for its size but Klaus felt it got even much smaller when he heard the slam of the door, like a claustrophobic who was stuck in an elevator, his breathing hitched and picked up by the moment. What was happening to him? His gaze shifted from the small window to Hayley who was taking off her soaked jacket. That instant, he knew the reason of his sudden malaise. The little wolf.

Her wet grey top was now see through and it clung tightly in her bosom. Klaus' pupils dilated in response as he let his eyes follow the droplet of water that snaked down her cleavage. Though everything she wore was far from being eye-catching, her dream body that was becoming slowly visible to his eyes made everything about her look so ...erotic. Luckily she was busy squeezing the water out of her hair and didn't pay attention to him while he was eye-fucking her. Klaus wiped his sweaty forehead, cursed his dirty mind and turned his body around to face the window again.

Hayley glanced at him through her long lashes and saw how nervous he looked. She hovered whether to tell him about the blood share or not.

"Klaus did you feed on someone this morning?" her question struck him as odds. He shot her a mystified look before he responded "I just drunk from the blood bag I found on my room, why asking?" She sat on the edge of the table behind her, pursed her lips as if some words were caught in her throat and started to picture in her mind what sort of reaction he would have if she told him the truth. He needed to know that the blood bag he sucked up that morning was filled with her blood yet she couldn't bring herself to speak. She knew he won't buy her excuses even if she explained that her blood helped bringing him back, which was indeed the truth. And chances he turned against her for what she did were high, because Klaus was hard to convince and easy to upset. And if there was anything he hated more than his parents, it was liars.

After a moment of thinking, she decided to bite her tongue and keep the truth to herself despite knowing the consequences of her decision.

"Nothing I just wanted to know if you're feeling better" she lied, fighting the inner voice that kept nagging on her to fess up.

"Don't worry Hayley, I'm perfectly fine. You can cut your wrist right now and I won't even give a damn because everything went back to normal" he stammered as he stared at the heavy rainfall. After hearing those words, things got more difficult for Hayley. Her guilt doubled in strength because her lie was giving him a false sense of independence. And what a wicked way to steal that from him by speaking the truth.

"That's a good news" she faked a cheerful grin.

"So did you bring me here to talk about this?" he shot her a dubious look.

"No I brought you here because there are two wolves missing out and the pack is suspecting you. We both know you're innocent but don't you think that those disappearance were conveniently timed with your three-week nap" she said, forcing a serious expression.

"I don't know but everything is possible. I will inform Marcel and he will take care of it" he said, looking her over with an appraising eye, as if he was suspecting something.

"Are you sure you're not hiding something from me?" he watched her as her face blemished slowly, her heart-rate picked up and he swore he could hear her saliva gushing down her throat as she swallowed hard.

"No I said everything I wanted to say, you can actually go. The ceremony is about to start and they all must be waiting for my return" she stammered nervously then leaned over to fetch her wet jacket from the floor, which was an excuse to hide her obvious strain.

"I was wondering" Klaus turned his body to her direction "How did you know that no one lives her? have you already been in this place before?" Hayley raised a brow at his unpredictable question. Let's say that she was glad he changed the subject as he was about to strip her out of her mask with his exposing eyes, but she knew that Klaus never asked innocent questions.

"I've never seen anybody coming out of this house, except rats and errant dogs, Why?" now she was the one who was being dubious.

"Last time you came to the bayou, Elijah escorted you, isn't it right?" he asked, but this tone his tone was dead serious. And after the second question, everything made sense to her. She immediately got hot under the collar. Her features shifted rapidly and she spun around stormily.

"Is this your favorite sport or do you really enjoy devaluating me all the time. Are you suggesting that I've been fucking around with Elijah during your absence? well rest assured Klaus, nobody laid a finger on me and sooner no one's gonna come near me. Thanks to you now I'm bound for life by a freaking bond that I never asked for. So Congratulation, from now on I have to embrace the lifetime role of Klaus' slut with no objection because goddamn mother nature made it this way and none of us can change that !" Hayley was foaming at the mouth, her eyes smoldering with indignation, her hands quacking angrily at him and she realized after her outburst that she said too much, things that weren't supposed to come out of her mouth. Klaus was completely shocked, he narrowed his mystified eyes, trying to process the things she said because he was genuinely clueless.

"I fucking locked myself in a room with you for three weeks to get you out from whatever fantasy you we were drowning yourself in" Her tears began to form in the corner of her eyes and she cursed her emotions for making her look silly and weak. Klaus knew she was losing it and it was about time it happened. Actually he was surprised that after all the drama she had gone through she hadn't broken down a long time ago. A single tear slipped down her face and she closed her eyes to prevent another, but against her will, her tears began to flow out hard and she was sobbing.

Klaus for the second time that day felt useless, he didn't know how to console the sad hybrid before him, knowing damn well that he was the reason behind those beautiful teary eyes. He excluded the idea of asking her about the bond she was talking about , given the state she was in and strode slowly towards her. But before his arm could reach her shaking shoulder she stormed out of the cabin in high speed, leaving him completely perplexed, whether to follow her or let her ago.

Freya was sitting on the couch next to Kol, her mind was racing with doubts and fear since the attack and she couldn't even follow the conversation between the two brothers.

"I've just received a message telling me that Sebastian is nowhere to be found in New Orleans. Freya are you sure he was following you" he asked, startling Freya from her reveries.

"Oh, I asked him to stop hounding me but he was persistent and insisted to stay. However a few minutes before the attack, he vanished without a trace and I thought that maybe he grew tired of playing the guardian angel and decided to give me a break"

"So he didn't disappear because you asked him to" Kol deducted.

"I don't think so, He literally said he didn't want to meet Elijah's wrath if something bad happened to me"

"Alive or not, he's as good as dead" Elijah pursed his lips before he darted his gaze to his sister.

"Listen to me Freya, no more voodoo shopping from now on, if you need something I'll bring it to you. We're at war and our life is at stake. The same message can be applied for you Kol" he looked at his younger brother who was nodding approvingly.

Hayley found herself running under the rain as far as her long legs could carry her, without turning back. Her tears marred her face, burning her skin so badly. She kept running like a wild beast, her feet splashed in the puddles, staining inadvertently her jeans with mud. Her long, timber-colored hair whipped back and forth behind her. She didn't know where she was heading anymore because of the fog that hazed over her way to the swamp, nevertheless she kept running. She could feel her heart throbbing inside her chest, not from exhaust but from indignation. She was hurt, offended and extremely mad. In that instant, she made up her mind to never stand by him or show a splinter of affection to him. Klaus Mikaelson was dead to her.

After running for more than ten minutes, she felt a hand pulling her arm and she stopped dead in her track, turning her head furiously, letting her fisted-hand hit the face of whoever who was behind her.

"Stop it" Klaus urged before he grabbed her fist with his hand. She shot him a murderous glare, her whole features shifted from human to animalistic, and suddenly she sank her fangs in his left forearm. Klaus wasn't expecting any less from a demented Hayley. Instead of tearing her assaulting mouth away from him, he chose to let her take all of her anger out on him as he watched her biting his flesh ferociously. He could even hear his bone cracking slowly under her fangs but he didn't make a sound. When Hayley felt his blood reaching her throat, she quickly pulled away and spat the few drops she swallowed onto the ground.

"What do you want from me" she barked, glaring at him with her golden eyes. Klaus raised both of his hands to her in surrender as he said with a low voice "Calm down, I'm not here to fight but simply to talk" he watched her with catlike weary eyes.

"I don't wanna hear anything from you, you cold-hearted douch" She cried furiously, her tone was revealing layers of poorly concealed emotions; ire and hurt all mixed up. Klaus lifted slowly his foot from the muddy ground to take a step forward but she backed up with intense repulsion.

"We're surrounded only by fog and wood, come any closer and I will stake myself with a fir twig" she barked louder and from the way she looked at him, he could tell she wasn't bluffing.

"We owe each other an explanation, can you at least tell me about the lifetime bond you were talking about" he asked quietly, waving his hands in an attempt to calm her down.

"I owe you nothing but a hell of an apology and the only thing you can do to earn my forgiveness is to get out of my sight before I split your skull into two" she shook her head in contempt as she threated him with her nails that were turning into sharp claws.

"I know I made a mistake. I'm sorry" he mumbled the words quickly but earned a derisive chuckle from her.

"No you're not sorry! only people who have the benefit of a heart can feel sorry but you " she pointed a quacking finger at him, eyes glistened with tears and lips trembling "you're selfish and thoughtless and mean. You're just a horrible person" Klaus swallowed her knife-like words as he knew she was partly true, if not entirely.

He grabbed her pointy finger abruptly and stuck her palm against his heart. The gesture struck Hayley as odd that she threw him a what-the-hell look.

"I thought that my heart started beating again for the first time when Hope came into my life but you made it beat so much faster that I can't even check the words coming out of my mouth. I find myself saying things I shouldn't say , acting in a way that makes me question sometimes my common sense, doing things I regret. I myself don't know what is going on with me" he finished his words with a sigh, not breaking eye-contact with her bewildered eyes. Hayley was blinking in confusion,her features softened slightly. Her heart wanted to believe every single word but her mind wasn't saying the same. She tried to withdraw her hand from his chest but he tightened his grip on it. Don't Hayley Don't, she kept warning herself.

"No I can't" she knotted her brows down and nodded with a distrustful look "No No No I won't let you do this to me, I won't let you deceive me again. I can't believe a man who doesn't trust me" he could feel her hand shaking against his heart.

"If I give in I won't be able to break free, everything that is going on between us is purely instinctive. Mary just told me that I'm linked to you by a magic bond forever, like I needed another thing to link me to you besides my daughter. And I don't wanna live as your slave, knowing that the only thing I get from you is pain. While I'm trying so hard to reach out to you, you keep on dropping Elijah's name every now and them. This ends now" she attempted to pull away her hand again but this time he grabbed her free hand and joined it with her other hand together, holding them between his.

"Why don't you tell me the whole story instead of beating around the bush" he questioned with a curious tone.

"It doesn't matter, I'm gonna pack my things and settle in the bayou. And don't worry, your daughter will stay in the compound as it is safer but as soon we found that splinter of white oak, you will never see me again" she vowed challengingly. Klaus grabbed her shoulders tightly at her threats and pulled her closer until their noses were inches apart.

"The ceremony has already started so let me go" She writhed, trying desperately to pull away. But Klaus knew that if he let her go now he would have to face a whole pack to get her back later.

"So eager to join your wolves, the new alpha would favor this decision" he spoke venomously through gritted teeth.

"I guess you'll never know" she answered with a dull voice.

Klaus started to grow irritated of her stubbornness. His eyes flashed gold and shook her body roughly, grazing her skin.

"Alright then consider your wolves dead because you will not see them again as long as I'm alive"

"Yeah show your true self, look at you. Claiming to be the alpha of the alphas while you burn with jealousy at the mere sight of Jade. So insecure of a baby wolf" her words shot him like a dagger.

"You're going too far little wolf, It's not because I've been lenient to you that you're going to disrespect me. Know your place"

"I know my place and it has to be far away from you" she pushed him away and turned around. Klaus's patience had been worn to a fine thread. She might be a tough girl but no one can handle tough people better than him. He grabbed her arm and pinned her body roughly against a tree, and pressed his whole body against hers. Hayley could smell the beginning of an angry sex, she squirmed and writhed, wanting to push him away.

"Do not touch me" she spat defyingly through pursed lips.

"You're a terrible liar. Why brother bringing me back if you really don't care about me as you claim? Why even feel so upset with someone you harbor so much?" he said in a low tone, pressing down his hands over her shoulders to keep her still.

"It's because the worst man in the world happens to be the father of my child"

"Liar! we're both grown up so let's stop lying to each others. why don't you fess up your denied feelings instead of lying right to my face" he challenged her, his warm breathe fanned her cool lips as he got closer to her. He looked at her with intense eyes and she felt bare to him.

"Why don't you fess up yours" she challenged him, gazing into his emerald eyes.

"Again you're dodging my question with another. But I'm braver than you, I was scared of those deep, strong feelings I've been having to you but I learnt how to accept them when I knew how true they are. I've recently learnt it's not a crime to embrace what you feel even if you cannot explain it" he unintentionally found himself quoting Cami. Klaus' eyes have never looked so bright, they shone with genuine feelings. Hayley parted her lips slightly, feeling completely overwhelmed and breathless by his revelation.

"I..." she stuttered like a mindless being, not knowing what to say. Klaus cupped her face with his moist hands and questioned in a lazy tone, eyes born into hers "Tell me what do you feel" she didn't know if he was compelling her to confess because no sooner had he asked her, the words started to come out smoothly from her mouth "I want you" she announced blatantly. A hint of a smile crossed Klaus' lips when he heard the magic word and he was close to plant a passionate kiss on her lips to when she began screaming hysterically at him.

"You bastard!" she covered her mouth with her hand, utterly shocked by her own words "You fucking compelled me, did you!" she shot him an accusatory glare.

"Are bloody out of your mind. Why would I do this, I simply asked you in a very nice way to express your feelings"

"I.. I didn't mean to say it, you made me say it, you made me ..." she pointed her finger at him, repeating her words out loud, almost yelling them while she wagged her head.

"And so bloody what? supposed that I compelled you, this means you've just spoken the truth. huh?"

"Maybe it's because you're unworthy of it" Hayley croaked, eyes locked to Klaus' while he started at her speechlessly. Her words slapped him like a giant baseball bat and he backed off slowly, almost stumbling against a rock.

"Go then" he ordered, looking down at her muddy boots in dismay. Without uttering a word, Hayley turned halfway to the opposite direction but she felt her feet stiffened as though they were glued to the ground. She let out a heavy sigh, feeling burdened by her own body. It was funny how the dispute was chiefly about convincing him to let her go and now that he granted her freedom to leave, she found herself hesitating.

"when I said "go", I meant to the compound" he spoke harshly. Hayley diverted her gaze to her side as she replied "and when I said that I want you, I didn't mean sex" she muttered out in a low tone, causing Klaus to look up.

"even if you're sexually attracted to me, so bloody what?" he throw his hand into the air exasperatedly "You know people of your generation are trying to separate pleasure from passion, lust from love. I personally think they go in parallel. I want you as much as you want me, so why keeping up the pretense of loathing each other, I dropped that mask ages ago but you're visibly still attached to it. You're trying to reduce those feelings we have for each other to a mere whimsy sexual impulse"

"You're talking to me as if I'm the one who's in denial, if you're so open about what you feel then why don't you label the thing that is going on between us. What am I to you Klaus? because truth to be told, I don't what you are to me. Let's say that I'm something more than the mother of your child according to what you say. This makes me what? a little wolf? a good fuck? a former two-night stand? your brother's crush? tell me!"

"I only know that you are mine" like a desperate baby longing for his mother's hug, he looked at her.

"that makes me all the things I said plus the fact that I'm your property now. Marvelous! " she remembered that instant Mary's words, when she explained the outcome of the mating.

"No that makes you more than everything you said" his tone softened.

To hear those words coming out from a man who was known for hardly acknowledging his feelings was overwhelming to her. She began to rub her hand against her ring nervously, itching to tear it off with her nail that was slowly extending. She could take it off now and forget about every man she knew in the past by throwing herself into the original's arm, but she could also run over the hills and save herself from him. That was a tough choice.

Klaus was still staring at her with unspoken word, waiting for the brooding little wolf to make up her mind. As much as he wished to circle his arms around her and make her his forever, he vowed not to force her to do anything and let her choose alone.

"I can handle the physical violence but no more Elijah references" she requested and he nodded approvingly "if you want me to stop evoking his name, then you need to sort out your feelings for him here and now"

Her feet were moving towards him at a snail place "Me and Elijah are done, it's over between us" she declared. Klaus tried to contain his urge to smile, because the piece of information was quite delighting. He unintentionally began to walk in her direction until he was right in front of her. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying, but not as red as her cheeks. Hayley wasn't looking at him but could feel his eyes on the lower part of her face, precisely her lips. He grabbed her chin, making her look up at him.

"Thank you for your honesty" he uttered softly before he lowered lazily his face down and gave her a chaste kiss, their lips barely touched. Hayley could feel her heart pounding in her chest and her body stiffing as they breathed in each other's air after the short kiss. She could also feel her thirst increasing, becoming more insatiable at the physical closeness. For a moment, she forgot about their fight, the rain that pounded on her head, the crescent wolves and everything that surrounded her. Klaus saw fort desire in her eyes, her cheeks turned crimson red under the rain that made her hair one with her face and every thing about her drove him crazy. did she know how crazy she made him looking that way?

He circle his hand around her waist to close the small space between them. And in a stroke, Hayley felt her back pressed roughly against the trunk of a tree and in no time he slapped his lips against her, sucking the oxygen out of her lung. His tongue licked the cool droplets that tasted like the finest bourbon before it delved entirely, at her grant of access, inside her mouth. She returned the kiss with equal hunger, and they began to ravage each other's mouth, nipping the seams of their lips greedily. He pressed his hand on her waist, trying to deepen the kiss that went on like for ever. Their lips were moving in perfect sync. Neither of them could think straight as their mind was clouded by lust and insatiable carnal desire. His hand were roaming over her body, outlining the contours of her chiseled curves like the artist he was. His touches sent shiver to her spine and she writhed uncontrollably when she began to taste the metallic tang of his blood. They broke apart for a fraction of second, gasping for air while she rested her forehead against his before he seized her bottom lip again. She moaned between his lips, feeling his tongue reaching the depth of her mouth.

"Klaus.." She moaned again, titling her head away from him. Klaus began nuzzling her neck with delicate kisses, ignoring her moans.

"Klaus...I'm late ...they will send someone to look for me" she panted under his touches. He raised his head to her, their forehead were joined together again.

"if you don't want to be caught with me, we can still go to the cabin. I even saw a table there" he dimpled smugly at her, Hayley rested her hands on his chest and glanced shyly at his captivating blue eyes "there is a bed too" she bit her lip and a plain grin grew on his face, bringing hayley to smile too. He had a beautiful smile. She started at him fondly. The rain pouring on his face like a shower of pearls, cleansing his mind from all feelings of anger and hurt. He was genuinely happy and that made her happy too.

A potato bag was lying on the table, blood was flowing out of it, turning the white tablecloth into cherry-red. Lucien titled his head with amusement, sitting with his legs crossed in the cozy couch.

"I told you not to cut her head" he gnarled. The man in front of him bowed respectfully before he spoke "this is the head of one of the strix"

"It's her blood that I need you bloody fool not some random mutilated head" Lucien scoffed as he stood up in his feet. The vampire handed a small bottle, nearly the size of a flask, to the kingmaker ceo.

"and you shall have it sir" Lucien's frown faded slowly into a devilish grin. He grabbed the bottle and spun it between his finger. Then fell back on the couch as he let out a long deep, satisfied sigh.

Klaus banged the door open with his foot then whooshed inside, bodies still intertwined. They both collapsed on the bed, he on top of her. He showered with passionate kisses down her collar bone while her fingers caressed the back of his head softly like an angelic harpist. One inhale of her musky scent and he felt his hardness getting bigger, stiffer. His right hand dropped to her waist, sneaking under her top to seize her breast. He lifted the fabric quickly, exposing her bosom to him as she knew he would. He had already done this to her but it always felt like the first time. She found herself holding her breath with anticipation as she felt his left hand creeping down her sanctuary. Her muscles flexed, she bit her lips at the exhilarating sensation of his digits toying with her sensitive part. Unintentionally, she grabbed a fistful of his caramel hair and pulled harder, already moaning his name in a desperate cry. He was driving her crazy and he knew it. He buried his nose in her cleavage, bringing her breasts together with his hands. She could feel his mouth stretching wider than it should as he captured her nipple between his teeth. Hayley arched her back at his heaven-like touches. Like a dead corps being brought to life, his kisses enlivened her soul, mended her wounds and obliterated every bad memory she had of him. He withdraw himself and removed his shirt. Hayley watched him wryly as he unzipped his pants and settled himself between her thighs. Unlike the last time, he was taking his time, enjoying every touch and kiss.

He pulled down her pants and lacy underwear in one swift move. She was a ravishing creature and knowing that she craved him as badly as he craved her made her look more exquisite . He devoured every limb of her body with his eyes before he slid between her and she felt his prominent length penetrating her walls in a sweet-bitter pace. He pinned her hands against the mattress and pressed his on them with all his weight as he gave her a deep thrust. Hayley parted her lips, almost gasping with excitation. He darted the tip of his tongue to her neck and trailed soft kisses up her chin while pounding on her. His moves got harder, slamming into her tight pussy while kissing her. She wanted to clutch his hair and cup his face and do crazy things to him. But with her hands locked by his, she found herself a subordinate instead of a participant. Klaus shifted his gaze to her face and noticed the discontentment in her eyes . Why with this frown? he moved his hands to her waist and lifted her until she was sitting in his lap. She wrapped her hands around his neck for support, secretly enjoying the freedom she got from the new position. She didn't know whether he was reading her mind or not because Klaus always liked to be on the top.

She began to ride him hard, enjoying the power she had on him as he let her set the pace. He himself was a control-freak and knew how intense the pleasure one can get from being in control was. And Hayley had always loved taking the lead. Because like him, she was born a leader. Both are halves looking for their part to feel complete. And that night they were bound to become whole.

The bed was rocking with each thrust and Hayley was close to come. She moaned against Klaus' lips that were continuously locked with hers like a magnet. As he was slamming roughly his pelvis against her bottom, she heard a faint buzz coming from the discarded jacket on the floor. Hayley eyes fluttered open, she broke the kiss reluctantly and uttered breathlessly "your phone is ringing" a smile appeared on Klaus' face and it started to tickle before he bit down on her bottom lip that were twice as full as they used to be. But she titled her head back and groaned "answer the phone". He rolled his eyes and muttered "the phone can wait, but this" he thrusted in her again then added "cannot". When Hayley didn't reply and chose to wear her bitchy poker face, he pulled back reluctantly and extended his hand to his jacket, then grabbed furiously the phone that was buzzing incessantly.

"Yes" he deadpanned.

"Jesus I was going to send my strix to searching high and low for you, where have you been?" Elijah grumbled.

"In the bayou" Klaus looked at Hayley who was speaking in silent letters "tell him I'm in the ceremony" she said.

"I went to the cemetery earlier" he lied, not breaking eye contact with Hayley.

"is Hayley with you" Elijah asked anxiously.

"No she must be drowning herself in booze and music at the wolves party, I'm on my way to fetch her" he lied, and earned an eye-roll from Hayley.

"Freya has been attacked by a dog and I suspect a nasty move from Lucien. Don't panic, she's fine as someone healed her with his blood. Hayley could be next so I count on you to bring her back before the sunset" Both looked at each other and shared a perplexed look.

"How did a dog break into the house?" Klaus inquired.

"She went at the voodoo market when she got bitten. Plus one of my strix is missing. I care less about him but I need him alive to suck out the truth of him" Elijah explained.

"Do whatever you need to do, I'll be back with Hayley" Klaus said before hung up.

Hayley was already dressing up as he finished the call. Klaus slipped in boxers and fetched the rest of his clothes from the floor.

"This attack is not random. Someone is trying to send a message" he muttered as he zipped his pants. But Hayley was concerned with more complicated issues. Sex was a momentary distraction but now that it came to an end, she had to face reality. Her sex life was a mess, Elijah was becoming distant and she didn't want to lose him as a friend, the blood sharing side-effect she hid from Klaus and more importantly the ceremony that she had missed.

"Hayley! " she turned her head to Klaus who was fully clothed then glanced at her half naked body.

"I can't find the rest of my clothes" she whined while she tried desperately to cover herself, crossing her legs together. Klaus turned around to grant her some privacy given her discomfort.

"It's not something ..." he didn't get to finish his statement when she interrupted him with a fake British accent "..I haven't seen before" she watched his back and could imagine him smirking smugly at her silly impression.

A few minutes later, they got outside. The rain stopped but the fog was still crowding the bayou. She followed him as they headed to their car that was parked in the west. Klaus was busy dialing Marcel's number to gather more information about the missing strix member. While Hayley walked steadily a couple of meters behind him. She lowered her eyes to her ring finger, took her courage in both hands and removed the ring slowly. She felt thoroughly light and free as it fell in the mud. The ring sank in the wet muddy earth and she breathed in. With no regret or self-reproach whatsoever she chinned up and kept moving forwards, casting all worries from her mind.
