“Hayley.”

“Need they not open their eyes to the opportunities before them. If it’s power they need, it’s power I can offer. As for your trust, I’m sure they’re all falling madly at your feet. Perhaps you shouldn’t forget that you’re carrying a Mikaelson child. Trust with your wolves will never be the same, Hayley. No matter how many nights you spend at the wretched bayou. As for your feelings, you make it clear how little this family means to you.”

“A number is nothing with power and Marcel is crumbling as we speak. And do they stil consider you so? After all, you’re carrying a child that is deemed unnatural. You live there by choice, which in my opinion, is a foolish one.”

“If you think Marcel will let their foolish rescue go unpunished, you are mistaken, little wolf. Would you rather your brethren be murdered without a fight, or would you like to see them actually stand a chance? To me, I couldn’t care less whether or not Marcel had his way with the wolves seeing as most of them seem to be more trouble than they’re worth. I simply want to give them something to fight for.”

“I saved Jackson, not once, but twice. In case it has so conveniently slipped your mind, I allowed you into dangers way in order to save the foolish wolf whom couldn’t protect himself and I refuse to let it happen again. I am not their protector, but I will do what I have to do in order to protect my own.”

“I hate this town.”

“Defiance; most certainly a trait we share and possess.”

“In a war such as this, causalities are necessary. If the wolves want to fight, then they shall fight. Safety means nothing when they’re already under the control of Marcel and if they think he won’t retaliate for their witch rescue than they’re as foolish as they seem.”

"This is a war, Hayley. People are going to die and perhaps you should know that I will do everything that I possibly can to keep this family protected.”

"I’m sure a few wolves would be more than happy to get a chance at ridding of the curse tht so badly pains them.”

"Suppose you should worry less about the catch and more about the protection of our daughter, love.”

"It seems as if your wolf brethren hold a shade of hatred for the false king and with Marcel’s attempt at murdering Jackson and torturing Juliet, it seems only fair we become of use to one another.”

And while you’re there, suppose you mention a thing or two to the one and only Jackson. Seems as if saving him twice meant nothing toward my motives.”

Uh, like I got blown up, mostly. Better than I did when I had my stomach open, but… I’ve been better.

I was more planning on telling Klaus. He’s always worried the wolves are going to leave me to die if someone attacks, maybe he’ll feel better when he sees a vampire is here too. I can only imagine. Hey, at least you’re not dead. You have stitches? What happened to your vampire healing? Well, that’s gross. I’m afraid to ask why your stomach was open.

Actually don’t; considering I’m only clean ‘cause of the Jackson and Juliet combo sponge bath I was so graciously offered. I’m pretty sure the entire pack will have seen me naked by the end of this.

Too late, Harper. You guys, like, took a bath together? Kinky. Well, I didn’t hear any complaining, so I think you’re good. — How are you feeling?”
