  It was her wedding night and Hayley was sitting there absolutely devastated. The pack had got what they wanted and now had her abilities, changing to wolf   at will, and she was truly happy for them. They could protect her daughter from harm now. The conversation she had just heard, however, made her realise   she had been duped. After Elijah told her he was moving out to across the river she was so upset that she went and sat in the bathroom, knowing that no-one   would follow her there. She was having a little cry when she heard two voices, Jacksonâs and Oliverâs.
  âSo you did it manâ Oliver chimed.
  âYes and icing on the cake that Elijah is moving out. Now  he wonât be able to influence Hayley. I told him I could beat him up as much as I wanted but if   he so much as hurt me she would never forgive him.â
  Oliver laughed âPerfectâ
  âI have her wrapped round my little finger and if any vampires upset us now, with these new abilities, we can rip them to shreds. We will now begin to   regain power over New Orleansâ
  âKeep her isolated and focussed on her brat and things will be fine. You could always charm the ladies Jacksonâ said Oliver admiringly.
  âWell Hayley is easy on the eye but I will still make time for my Rosalea. I just have to go to the bayou and train my pack from time to   time.â They both laughed and went out of the room.
  Shocked Hayley sat there not sure what to do. She had totally believed Jackson when he whispered his words of love to her. Because of that she had doubted   Elijahâs love but now could see he was far the better man. Anger built up inside her. If she told Klaus he would kill Jackson, without hesitation. Then the   pack would declare war on Vampires and her daughter would be in the middle of it. Klaus always seemed to have this ability to sense things. Although she   thought he was being paranoid at the time Hayley now acknowledged Klaus was right all along. Jackson did marry her to gain more power for his pack. He had   softened her up with protestations of love and like a fool she had fallen for it. That childhood betrothal Jackson spoke of - was that even true she   wondered? There was one person she could discuss this with, but he had just left the compound after she had shattered his heart by   marrying Jackson. She had noticed the young attractive vamp Gia looking adoringly at Elijah and she couldnât blame him if he sought consolation with her.   She made up her mind she had to speak to Elijah and soon, if it wasnât already too late to salvage their love.
  Cautiously she made her way out of the bathroom and went into Hopeâs bedroom and gazed down at her beautiful daughter. Her senses told her Jackson had just   come into the room but she didnât turn round. He placed his hands on her shoulders and she shuddered in disgust, but he took it as excitement from his   touch. Kissing her neck he said
  âMaybe we should go to bed now and consummate our marriage.â Like hell she thought!
  âOh Jackson I am too tired it has been a long day, I am sure you understand.â she replied but still didnât turn round
  A look of irritation flitted across his face âWell I guess Iâll go down to the bayou and see if they are doing ok. I will leave you with Hope and maybe   back tomorrowâ
  âYes thatâs fineâ she tried to hide the relief she felt but didnât quite succeed, so without kissing her he strode out more than a little annoyed. He was   determined to bed her sooner than later but in the meantime he had a nice little wolf at the bayou who completely worshipped him.
  Hayley quickly packed some things, hoping she could stay with Elijah overnight. Klaus would relish looking after his daughter. She made her way to his room   and as she reached the door Klaus, smelling her scent, called out âCome in Hayleyâ
  âCan you look after Hope, I need to go out.â
  He looked her up and down, smiling slyly said âTrouble in paradise so soon?â
  She scowled. âWill you or not?â
  âNeed you ask â she is my daughter too!â he stated flatly. Then he smirked. âTell Elijah to come home, where he belongs, with family.â
  She blushed furiously. âKlausâ she started to say, but he stopped her with âMy lips are sealed,â and gave her his address. The sooner that marriage   floundered, the better. He hated Jackson and he was pretty sure Elijah loathed him even more. Unfortunately his brother was far too noble for his own good   and had forbidden Klaus to kill Jackson, if he made Hayley happy. Well it looked like that wasnât going to happen. You canât fight love   and those two had a real connection. He thought sadly about Cami and how he had left it too late.
  Klausâs offering of silence was the best Hayley could hope for, so she made her way over to where Elijah had just moved.
  She knocked on his door impatiently. Eventually he answered the door in just track suit bottoms, his hair damp and dishevelled. âSorry I was in theâŠ.â he   stopped âHayley?â They just stared at one another. He couldnât believe she was here and she couldnât take her eyes off his body.
  âArenât you going to invite me in?â âHayley you shouldnât be hereâ they both said at the same time. Then he reluctantly said âCome in.â
  Hayley couldnât hold the tears back any longer. Between the sobbing she told him of the conversation she had overheard. He wasnât surprised, but kept his   distance.
  âDid you know?â she demanded dabbing at her eyes with one of his handkerchiefs.
  He paced back and forth. âIt was difficult Hayley. You wanted the marriage and yes he did taunt me. I assumed that it was out of jealousy. I had to put   your wishes and Hopeâs wellbeing first. So I said nothing and made myself scarce after your marriage. As for Rosalea I had no idea.â
  âSo what can we do?â Hayley asked
  âI can do nothing Hayley and I guess you will have to go back to your husband and try and catch him out or confront him and go for an annulment.â
  She stared at him in shock. Always he had been there for her in the past, why not now? Had she finally killed his love for her? He took her hands.
  âHayley listen to me. What do you think people are going to say if I interfere? They wonât believe that conversation you overheard or maybe even care. It   could start a war. Think of your daughter. If he hurt you physically I would kill him in a heartbeat, but I wonât do it to get back in your bed. Something   like that would eat away at what we share. I will always love you, know that. For now, this is how it has to be.â He kissed her gently but he wouldnât   taint their love by taking it further. Time was on their side as Jacksonâs lifetime was nothing but a speck in a 1000 years. âGo now, I will speak to you   every day but be careful, my love. Your best bet is to go for divorce, get some proof he is being unfaithful.â
  She knew he was right but sometimes she wished he was more reckless, she needed him so much. He was looking so hot tonight in just those track suit bottoms   and she really wanted to sleep with him. She remembered how good it was between them before she married. Just thinking about it turned her on. But he   wasnât called the noble original for nothing and that was one of the things she loved about him.
  Resigned, she reluctantly left. On the way out she saw Marcel, and he gave her a little knowing look. âCouldnât stay away huh!â
  âItâs not like that Marcel.â
  He looked at her disbelievingly âItâs none of my business Hayley.â She decided to confide in him and told him what happened. âWell Elijah is right, he   cannot do anything and he has given you good advice. Everyone knows he is in love with you and that ties his hands.â
  Frustrated she saw the sense in that and went home dejectedly. Marcelâs mind was busy however. He wasnât going to allow some jumped up Alpha to take   control over the French Quarter or kill his vampires, so he needed to do some planning. He got Josh to talk to his boyfriend, the wolf Aiden. He fired him   up about Jacksonâs lack of leadership also warning him about Oliver having too much influence over him. In the next few months the pack became unsettled   and quarrelsome with others, who were jostling for power. They all loved Hayley and knew she gave up her vampire lover so that she could pass on her   abilities to them by marrying their Alpha. They also knew Jackson was conducting an affair with Rosalea and disapproved. It wasnât honourable or right   towards their Queen who had sacrificed her own happiness for them.
  Hayley was deeply depressed, Jackson was pressing her to sleep with him and she was making one excuse after another to avoid it. He started spending more   and more time at the bayou and six months into their marriage she got the news that he had been killed there. Apparently one of the pack had challenged his   leadership, mainly because he was getting drunk and partying too much. They fought it out and Jackson was killed so the victor became the Alpha. That was   the packâs rules, all had a right to confront the Alpha if they felt he wasnât doing his best in leading the pack.
  Hayley, as widow, attended the funeral and set light to his body, which then floated away on the water. Then she acknowledged the new Alpha and gave up her   right to leadership. Oliver was giving her murderous looks though and tried to start up trouble but none of the wolves took any notice as they all knew he   had a deep hatred for Hayley and had encouraged Jackson on his bad behaviour. After a discussion the pack decided to expel Oliver and he was forced to   leave the area.
  A couple of months after Jacksonâs death Elijah returned home. One evening when she was sitting in her bedroom he tapped on her door
  âHayleyâ he said softly. She got up and ran to him and kissed him passionately and he picked her up carrying her to the bed where they both undressed and   made feverish love. After, she looked at him saying
  âYou know I never slept with him Elijah, I couldnât bring myself toâ
  âShush! Let it just be us for now, we have been apart so long.â He drew her close and this time they made love more slowly, taking their   time to feel and touch, moving in unison until they both came in an explosion of sensations. Sated they lay there and drifted into sleep.
  The next day they both had the glow of love about them, looking happier than they had for months. They found it hard to keep their hands off one another   with looks and touching. Klaus was amused but pleased that at last they were together and gave them his blessing. It would be good for his daughter, he   thought, for the family to be so united, Always and Forever.
