"Hey I found it, the journal with everything jack wrote down that your father told him about the ancient werewolves. "
Hayley said kindly as she walked into his room, and passed him the book, in which he gladly accepted, taking it of her hands carefully.
"Thank you Hayley. "
He whispered back to her. By know he would have expected Hayley to have left but she stayed, balancing on her heels as she contemplated whether she should talk or not, whilst also biting her lip.
"This is probably a stupid question but are you okay? I know that it can't be easy loosing a close friend."
The brunette finally spoke to him after her few seconds of silence. Klaus raised his eyebrow and turned his eyes away from the pages of the book to look toward Hayley.
"Why wouldn't I be? People in my life have been and gone and Camille was just another. Of course her death was a tragedy but we have to look to the future because there is a war brewing, and we have to be prepared."
Klaus responded, of course he was annoyed by his friend dying but he needed to care about things at hand. He will get over her death just like he has gotten over previous friends deaths, he will accept and move on.
Hayley looked into his eyes, making sure he was telling the truth, which he was and reluctantly said 'okay' and that if he needed her, he new where to find her, to which klaus nods back at her, whilst his nose is in between the pages of the journal she brought.
Scanning though the pages of the journal, klaus tries to pinpoint anything about how to defeat lucien, and then he finds a small pice of paper, folded up and slotted Bowen two pages at the end of the journal. It was old, centuries old, looked almost like a millennia old. Klaus removed it from where it lied and placed the book down next to him on his bed that he had migrated over too while at reading, that no longer held Cami's body as they had placed her in Lafayete cemetery 1 or 2 hours after her death.
Unfolding the paper he gasped as he saw the language of symbols, what he used to write in from when he was human, this was written by his father, Ansel.
"An old prophecy told my pack years ago that If a creature is born or created form all werewolf blood lines, it may be unstoppable.
We have tried to stop this from happening by making sure our women are paired off with appropriate suiters, there have not been any 'sharers' yet. I, myself came up with the name 'sharers' as the creature would share all bloodlines. I believe that to stop a 'sharer' if one were to ever be born or created, the two most powerful alphas from the two most powerful werewolf bloodlines should wed, so that the joined pack would become unstoppable from any threat that may come their way. The crescents and the north east Atlantic's. "
Moving the paper away from his face and resting it on his lap, klaus let out a sigh, but was quite unsure of what kind of sigh it was, happy, annoyed, relived? He couldn't tell in that second but almost immediately saw a small smile on his face, Following his confusion.
Klaus suddenly stood up and extracted his phone from his pocket, unlocking it, and scrolling through his contacts till he found the exact wolf he needed to talk to. Cary.
After a few rings Cary answered.
"Cary, great to speak to you again mate. Yes it is. No I'm not being sarcastic. Cary listen, I'm in possession of a piece of paper, one that could be very important or not, I need you to tell me wether it is a fake or not... Thank you! It seems old, as old as me, it's also written perfectly in Elder Futhark, the language of my time as a human. Yes I said perfectly. There's a page missing from one of your journals? My father must have known about this prophecy and taken it. Thank you Cary, you have been much helpful. No Cary, that wasn't sarcasm either, goodbye."
After ending his call with Cary, klaus could only think of Hayley. She was the alpha of the crescents, one of the two most powerful bloodlines, and himself the other half. He knew what that meant, but he couldn't seem to say it out load or to himself. He knew he had to tell Hayley about this, he had to. He also knew that If this was the only option they had, they would have to talk it. For the sake of his family, his pack and all the vampires.
...
A few rooms down the corridor Hayley was in her room playing with hope and her toys, to which hope couldn't stop giggling, which made Hayley laugh which also in turn made klaus, who was stood in the doorway, let out a slight laugh too. Which made Hayley's head lift up from looking at their daughter to looking into Klaus's blue eyes as he stood in the doorway of her bedroom.
Smiling towards him, she quickly jumped up, and placed a few teddy bears around hope, and walked over to klaus.
"Hey, did you need me or something."
She said softly, remembering her offer she made to klaus a little earlier. Smiling back at her, klaus scooted past her and gently picked up their daughter and held her close to him, while walking back towards Hayley.
"Well, little wolf, this time it's more complicated than needing you. It's what I need you to do, what the wolves, our family and hope need. It what I need."
Furrowing her eyebrows towards him, he recognised her look of confusion and held out the extract from Ansel's journal at her for her to take. Gently raising her arm to take it from him, she unraveled the folds of the page and began to read. As Hayley read, hope looked up at her father, with a massive smile on her face, and saliva on her chin, to which he smiled at and wiped away before giving his little princess a kiss on the cheek to which she stared to giggle at.
Interrupting the moment, he felt a small hand grab his arm, looking up from his daughter he made Eye contact with Hayley again. Reviewing the poker face she was wearing.
She must have been grabbing him for support but it didn't look like she needed any.
"Are you sure? "
"I wouldn't be here if I wasn't little wolf."
"Okay, let's do it. "
She left him speechless, but he wasnt sure why, what has he come here for, no response, for her to reject the idea. Of course she wouldn't have rejected, not if it meant helping family. But somehow she still managed to leave him speechless.
"Are you sure? "
"Why wouldn't I be? This prophecy has been waiting for us to fulfil it, not to mention that lucien can't keep going on like this, he needs to be killed klaus, and I don't want to risk this, I don't want to risk our family either. This is what we need, for the wolves, for hope, for us, for our family."
Hearing Hayley talk was all he needed to believe this would work. If Hayley believed it would work, he would believe it would work to. If he was being honest, Hayley has always been someone to influence his decisions greatly, her ideas being similar to his and/or even better.
It was official, they agreed to be married the next day. And Freya agreed to help them gather the equipment for the ceremony and the tasks they had to complete.
After putting hope to bed, Hayley retraced out Klaus's path to his art room, sliding the doors open, to find him in the middle of sketching a drawing of a woman. He heard her enter but didn't say a word yet until he was satisfied with the section of the drawing he was on. Glancing over his shoulder slightly Hayley managed to see the smooth, lines of brown hair of a young woman flowing on the page, before klaus shut the sketchbook.
To avoid the annoyed glare klaus would probably give her for prying, she quickly spoke.
"hopes asleep now, so I wanted to tell you somethings about the ceremony."
"Alright."
"In order for it to work, there have to be no secrets between us, because it's a sign of mistrust and if there is mistrust, the ceremony won't work. "
"Okay. And? "
Hayley sighed, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Come on klaus. And? Really. I'm telling you that you need to tell me your secrets, and that I have to tell you mine. "
At the mention of her secrets Klaus's face lit up.
"Well I guess that's fair enough then little wolf. "
Rolling her eyes, she walked over to the small cabinet filled with liquor, and poured herself and klaus a drink, then continued to follow him to the couch.
...
About 2 hours later, klaus and Hayley are still sat on the couch and still drinking and still sharing secrets, some that Hayley found funny, which she laughed at till klaus joined in with her.
...
"I've never told anyone this, not even Jackson, i didn't think it was secret because taking a life to become a wolf isn't much since it doesn't matter if it was intentional or not , but I guess it kind of is a little, well to me any ways. The person I killed, to become a werewolf... I wasn't thinking straight, not to mention I was a bitch even if I was 13, I just hated her so much, she was this girl from my class in school, she made fun of me for being adopted all the time and one day I snapped, I just snapped, I couldn't take it anymore, we were at this party down by the docks, some seniors had a boat they stole from the dock at we all got on, we were 13, we just wanted to fit in I guess, and she was there too, and seeing her face, that's what made me snap. I pushed her in, I knew she couldn't swim, I knew it was too cold to be swimming, and I knew what I was doing. I murdered her in cold blood."
Tears started to well up In Hayley's eyes, threatening to fall from her pretty green eyes. Klaus, who was sat listening to one of Hayley's deepest secrets was shocked to learn that she did it in cold blood, not realising she was crying, till her arm moved from were it rested on her lap to wipe at her eyes. Shifting forward in his seat, he lifted her head up with his hand and wiped away her tears.
"Must be the alcohol. "
Hayley blamed, making herself and klaus share a light laugh.
"Must be."
Klaus played Along, shooting her one of his big grins, in which made Hayley return with a big grin herself.
"Your turn then."
This time, instead of moving back to his place he stayed where he was, looking into Hayley's eyes, sat right next to her.
"The day you gave birth to our daughter, my heart.. It... It broke. Watching those bloody witches take our child away from you, and then killing you, it made my heart brake for you and hope. I can't imagine what it must have been like for you, worse than anything anyone in this entire world could have suffered, and then taking it little girl from you arms, it made me angry, angry that I couldn't save you, couldn't save out daughter.
The truth is little wolf, I don't want our daughter to grow up with out her parents, I don't want her to grow up calling Elijah 'father' I don't want her to grow up without her mother."
Somewhere through klaus talking, his head went limp, it fell Down and his eyes averted to the ground, subconsciously avoiding Hayley's gaze. And just then, he felt her soft hand tangle it's self in his own, providing him comfort he didn't know he needed, so instead of pulling away, he tightened his grip on Hayley's hand, making sure she wasn't able to pull away and leave him.
"You and I are a lot more alike than you think.
She quoted him. Resting her head on his shoulder as he enjoyed her company."
...
The hybrids spent no time to waste the next morning, making all the preparations sorted for the day. The wedding will be today, they didn't waste time, they had none, they had to defeat lucien as soon as possible.
The wedding was nothing fancy, just klaus, Hayley, Freya, hope, Cary and Rhiannon, a wolf friend of Hayley's from her pack.
"Okay so, if you have followed all the steps correctly there should be no problem with making the marriage official."
Freya announced to the small group.
Smirking towards Hayley, hayley rolled her eyes back at klaus, he looked like a giddy school boy about to finally get the kiss of his dreams of the popular girl. Of course he would, it's klaus.
After raising her eyebrow, klaus let out a laugh, to which Hayley joined in, which broke near enough all the tension in the room and made everyone feel better. Leaning in, klaus slightly captured Hayley's lips in a soft small kiss. Not quite passionate but lustful enough to be a consummating kiss.
After a few seconds after the kiss, Cary and Rhiannon, started to feel a change, there eyes started to glow, and they felt stronger. Proof that the marriage was a success.
...
Cary and Rhiannon immediately left to inform their respectable packs of the change and that it was prophasised by one the greatest alphas to ever rule the werewolves and that they need to go to the compound now.
...
1 hour later the packs were mingled in the courtyard of the compound. The newly wed King and queen walked out to greet them.
"Crescents and Atlantic's, there have been changes that I'm sure all of you have notcied by now, and I'm sure all of you are wondering about the 'prophecy' too."
Klaus spoke first, which surprisingly didn't end in an insult for the first time.
Cutting him off, Hayley continued.
"Me and klaus are now married. Just as the prophecy said. The two alphas of the most powerful bloodlines should marry so that their joined pack can defeat anything that can cause them harm, even a sharer, a sharer we call lucien. This is the best thing for everyone, we are the first pack to be indestructible, we cannot be harmed, we cannot be hurt, what we can do? Defeat everything and anything that comes out way!
Help us, for the sake our our now joined pack, we're all family now, all of us, we stay together, so help us defeat lucien."
The packs started to cheer, there was not one single person with a frown, the wolves were ready, they were ready to defeat lucien and probably little minions he had compelled to help him.
"Freya, you need to take hope somewhere, lucien will be here soon, news has gotten out about me and Hayley so we will be expecting a visit. Keep yourself and hope safe with marcel across the river. And dorm comeback till I call."
Klaus told his sister, he grabbed her by the shoulders to make sure she understood completely, Freya nodded and told klaus she promised that she wouldn't come back unless he called. Freya quickly left with hope inside her carrier and drove away, headed to Marcels.
Minuets go by before lucien arrives. But his little helpers are the ones that decide to show themselves first. There were many helpers for the weren't as many as wolves. Lucien's amateur vampires were ravished apart they were ripped limb from limb as the werewolves attacked. With the big commotion going on in the middle of the courtyard Hayley search the perimeter hoping she might find lucien lurking around and she did.
Hayley was stronger than she could tell she was, this new strength that she got from klaus helped her fight maybe a minute or so longer but it was too late he was just too strong for her despite being a hybrid and sharing powers with Klaus mikaelson. He grabbed her by the neck bit down hard, making Hayley scream in agony. scream. not just shout, but scream.
Hearing Hayley scream, klaus immediately ran to were she was. He was startled to find her lying on the floor, neck bleeding and lucien standing above her laughing while looking Down at the female hybrid.
With out hesitation, klaus penetrated Lucien's back, shoving his hand through it, to grab his heart.
Lucien felt immobilised, he was unable to move, frozen in place, afraid of moving in case any movement caused klaus to rip out his heart. But it wasn't his heart he should have been worried about.
Coming to the time when all of Lucien's stupid little helpers were almost all dead, klaus looked down at Hayley who was now in a state of dizziness, he used his spare right hand to powerfully slice Lucien's head straight off, killing him instantly. Removing his hand from his body, klaus through the bag of bones to the ground, and instantly rushed towards to Hayley. With still some commotion in the courtyard, klaus dropped to his knees, and cradled Hayley in his arms.
In the moment all he could think about was, the day she died, how he had told Hayley his heart broke. It felt like it was happening all over again, despite knowing that she should be fine.
Still a little dizzy, Hayley groaned as klaus moved her In-between his knees, her head fell facing away from him on his chest. Her eyes were closed, sore from the little light there was from where they were sat. Her breathing was heavy because of all the fire running through her blood, klaus assumed that because she was a hybrid, that she shared his strength, that she had werewolf blood in her veins, that somehow it must have, been a little more toxic to them, despite them being married and merging their packs, it would still hurt like a bitch.
Biting down on his wrist. Hard. He lowered his arm to Hayley's mouth, feeding her his blood, trying to at least attempt to heal her or relive the pain. Then suddenly Hayley started to heal, thanks to their marriage, she shared his healing abilities, they were both the alphas, from the two most powerful bloodlines. It wasn't thanks to him, for feeding her his blood, it was thanks to his father for Saving thousands of lives, including his little wolf and his little princess.
Smiling now down at Hayley, the female tilted her head back, still in Klaus's embrace, to smile right back at him. Klaus rested his head against hers, contemplating a final secret he should tell her, to which he does,
"Hayley, I have one more confession to make... I don't want to loose you, ever, I don't want our daughter to grow up without her mother, I down want to loose the only person who had never tried to change me, who only accepts me for who I am."
Slightly tilting herself around, she separated their heads and looked at klaus in his eyes, and whispered.
"I feel the exact same klaus."
Smiling at he he Stretched his legs to stand, he grabbed Hayley's waist and held her as she stood up, still a little wobbly.
The pack had now all gathered round them, to see their queen heal. Then one of the wolves got on one knee and bowed his head, then another, and then more and more till every single wolf was bowing down. Furrowing his brow a little shocked, klaus took a step forward, but Hayley stayed in place.
"Wolves of crescent and Atlantic decent. You have proved yourselves to be the greatest pack in history, like the prophecy foretold, and I think that deserves a good bloody drink." A few chuckles were heard as he spoke.
"Take whatever you want from the cellar, celebrate this victory, and be proud."
Klaus finished. Then the wolves started to stand up, and follow Cary to the cellar. Which gave klaus a cue to leave.
...
Still holding her waist, klaus walked Hayley to her bed. Even though she could walk perfectly fine on her own.
"Wait a second little wolf."
Klaus vamp sped out of the Room, almost instantly returning, because of his new stronger speed, with a decent sized bottle of liquor. Smirking at her, klaus sat down next to her on her bed, also with 2 glasses in his hand.
"I've been saving this one for a long time, never could find the right time to drink it. What better time, than defeating the biggest Arse other than me, and what better time that it coincidentally being on the same day we get married."
Laughing Hayley agreed, she took one of the glasses and held it out for klaus to fill.
It was a good drink of alcohol, very, very strong, just what they needed.
Suddenly they heard music, coming from the courtyard, smiling both klaus and Hayley walked to the balcony and peered down at their pack. Their pack, it seemed unrealistic that they could ever share a pack one day, but that's exactly what they are doing now.
"The wolves were very brave today, resilient, fantastic fighters. I wouldn't expect anything less of them, even if I had downgraded them in the past. Nothing makes me prouder either than to say I'm a werewolf." The blonde whispered to Hayley. To which Hayley smiled at him with a big grin, joy running through her that klaus has finally decided that he wants to embrace his werewolf side.
Interrupting him from saying anything else, Hayley whispered back.
"We can rule the packs now, like it was prophesied, as King and queen, we can lead he most powerful pack in history, together, no more fighting, whatever happens now, we decide together, we stay together, and we rule together, As a family."
"Speaking of family, I need to ring Freya to tell her to bring hope home."
"Let her stay with marcel for the night, I don't think she would get much sleep with all the celebrating, and the music."
"Alright then little wolf."
"Oh and I also agree with you, we will make fantastic leader, as King and queen, and with our princess."
Stepping closer to klaus, she looked into his blue eyes and smiled, in which he returned, leaning closer to her as Hayley leaned closer into him, bringing her hand up to his chest, she rested it right above his heart, feeling the heartbeat of her husband.
Still continuing with their unannounced staring competition, Hayley interrupts.
"You know...erm... It is... Is our wedding night and we did just defeat Lucien, and we have booze, it would be no harm to have our own celebration right here."
Thinking back to the night that changed their lives, both hybrids smile at each other, Hayley biting her lip and she got lost in Klaus's eyes.
Shutting the balcony doors behind them, klaus shares a genuine smile of love to Hayley, grabbing her by her hips and stealing her lips with his,tightening his grip so she can't wiggle herself out, not that she would want to leave anyway, he was just afraid she might reject him, and leave him heartbroken, but she would never do that.
Deepening their kiss, Hayley snakes her arms up and around Klaus's neck, pulling him down closer to her height. Suddenly they had a sense of deja vu, klaus ripping of her top, Hayley ripping off his, laying her down on the bed, klaus running his hands all over her body, then pouncing on top of her and devouring her neck with kisses, making Hayley moan out loud, Their hand intertwining. The unbuttoning of pants. That afterwards managed to get thrown across the room. The shared ecstasy and euphoria they both experience when being with each other in such an intimate way. The shared love they both discover when, wrapped up in each other's arms as they dream of their future together.
