[3rd POV]
Alaric Saltzman was...confused. Very very confused. He had known about Hope coming to the school for another year, and he had known that a friend of Hayley was going to be bringing her kid.
Hell, he had even heard from Emma that the kid was a powerful Witch who had inherited it from her mothers.
Yeah, Mothers.
Alaric knew all about rituals and spells, so he wasn't entirely surprised about that. But what he was surprised by was the warning he had gotten from Hayley over the phone. Which had been followed by a warning from Vincent and then Freya.
All of the warnings were the same thing.
"Don't piss off Rose's mother"
Alaric was a bit confused on why they were so scared of the woman, but now that he was walking towards them, he began to understand.
She was tall, noticeably toned, and just...something about her was making all of his trained instincts from years of dealing with the supernatural perk up. Like she was...dangerous.
And if everyone was telling him not to piss her off, including his instincts, he decided it was probably for the best that he did not make this woman angry. The woman that he found out had a rather interesting name.
Lucifer Morningstar.
Yeah, weird name. Almost like she thought of herself as the devil or something. Which was impossible, because Cade was the devil, and that guy is long dead, thank God.
That or her parents had some peculiar humor in regards to naming. Because seriously "Lucifer Morningstar"? It's like they were asking for others to dislike her.
Nobody liked the devil afterall.
Walking up to Lucifer, Alaric noticed the shorter gorgeous woman next to her, who he understood must be her wife, Alice. A similar warning had been given regarding her, which was basically just them warning him to not even think of doing anything to her.
He was a little hurt that they thought he'd do anything. He wasn't exactly interested in romance, and was especially not interested in the idea of touching another person's wife.
He wasn't a scumbag.
"Hello, you must be Rose. I'm Alaric Saltzman, your headmaster. It's nice to meet you" Alaric said with a smile, as he looked at Rose who had been staring into Hope's eyes a few moments ago.
'Huh, interesting' Alaric thought, noticing the two and their reactions to one another. He looked up at Hayley who just smirked and put a finger to her lips, causing him to chuckle in amusement.
"Nice to meet you too" Rose said after dragging her eyes from Hope, who had been returning the look. Hope looked a little down that she wasn't able to see those gorgeous eyes of Rose's anymore, but hoped that she'd be able to gaze into them longer later.
Hayley watched it all with an amused smile on her face, understanding that her daughter was completely and utterly lovestruck. And it would seem that Rose was the same way.
Normally she would be much much more uncomfortable with the situation, not trusting it. But knowing Lucifer, she knew that this was probably a good thing. It would give Hope a hell of a lot more protection, and Lucifer had become a good friend, and had talked about Rose and her other children a lot, and loved to brag about them.
Hayley did the same in return.
"So, are you ready for the tour of the school?" Alaric asked with an inviting smile, inwardly sweating under the gaze of Lucifer. She was terrifying even if she probably wasn't meaning to be.
"Uh, sure" Rose replied, as Alaric smiled.
"Great! Follow me, Hope you can come along too if you-" "I'll come!" Hope cut him off, excited at the prospect of accompanying Rose, only to blush as everyone looked at her with amused expressions, while Rose beamed.
"Oookay then, come on, I've got a lot to show you" Alaric said as the two began to follow the man into the school.
At the same time, Hayley asked the question on her mind.
"Not that I am questioning it or anything, but is there a reason why my daughter and yours are absolutely love struck?" Hayley asked, as Lucifer nodded.
"They're mates, Hayley" Lucifer responded, causing Hayley's head to snap to her in shock.
Mates were actually a thing in this universe, but were EXTREMELY rare, as in there had only been a few cases in history of a werewolf finding it's mate.
She was one of them.
Hayley had never really realized that she had a mate until recently. When she had been separated from him for years now, it was like...a part of her was missing. Hope was helping, but the fact that her mate was gone had been more and more noticeable, and after looking into it, she realized that her mate...
Was Klaus.
She felt terrible for Elijah and what they had. But after Freya and her looked into it, it became obvious. She wondered why it hadn't been so noticeable sooner, but understood that it was likely due to her own stubbornness. And now that he was gone...she felt the bond.
He likely did too.
So to hear that her own daughter had found her mate, and Rose was that mate...was both amazing and a little worrying.
"Are you certain? I-I don't want to sound rude or anything, but finding a mate is extremely rare, Lucifer. I'm the first person to find their mate in the past three centuries" Hayley asked, as Lucifer nodded.
"They're mates, Hayley. Did you forget that I am the God of Love? And as the God of Love, I preside over things like mating bonds. Like how I can sense your bond with Klaus, and just how much you miss him. I can also sense the bond between my daughter and yours. And trust me, they're mates. Hope hasn't even felt the true brunt of it yet, but once she turns into a Werewolf? Well...lets just say we won't be seeing them for a little while afterwards" Lucifer responded, as Alice slapped her on the shoulder.
"What? It's true! They're gonna be-" "Luci" Alice cut her off with a warning glare, causing Lucifer to pout.
"Fine, fine. But yes, they're mates Hayley, you don't have to worry about that. And while I won't look into their future, I can see the direction it's going to take. And trust me, they will have an incredible relationship, one without too much drama" Lucifer said, her pout disappearing as she calmed her friend who sighed.
"Good. It'd be really awkward if our daughters got into a fight or something. I like our game nights way too much to stop them" Hayley responded, glad.
They did regular game nights with Vincent and Freya, and Lucifer usually tended to crush them, with her being unbeaten in monopoly, which was always fun. Because the others got pissed when she did win, but they still enjoyed it funnily enough.
"And since they've officially met one another...I guess I'll give my future daughter in law a gift" Lucifer said with a smile, as she snapped her finger.
Far off in the world, the Mikaelson siblings that housed parts of the Hollow felt a strange warmth travel through them. As unknowing to them, every fragment of the Hollow was completely obliterated from existence, the power being absorbed by Lucifer and then funnelled into Hope to boost her up a bit.
Without any of the negative side effects of course.
"What did you just do?" Hayley asked confused.
"I got rid of the problem that was causing your mate to be separated from his family" Lucifer responded with a warm smile, her friends eyes widening in shock.
"Wait yo-you mean-" "That the hollow is no more? I do. I also made sure to not put all that magical power to waste. So I took the liberty of cleansing it of any darkness and funneled it into Hope, making her a stronger witch. It'll slowly reveal itself over the next couple of years, so you don't need to worry about control or anything" Lucifer answered, her friend looking at her with tears welling up, before hugging her.
Alice watched on the side with a happy smile on her face, glad that her wife's friend was getting helped, and her new friend had been.
"Thank you!" Hayley exclaimed, hugging Lucifer as the woman smiled in return, before responding.
"It's not a problem Hayley. After all...she is going to be my daughter in law"

That's the end of the chapter!
Just a simple chapter of finally helping out the Mikaelsons, which means we'll be seeing Klaus soon!
And yeah, this is an AU world where mates are in fact a thing, but extremely rare. Hayley and Klaus are mated (sorry to the Klaus x Caroline fans and the Elijah x Hayley fans). I might give Sirius a mate, but who?
I was thinking of putting him and Rebekah together to be honest, as I think it could be an interesting pairing, but I'm not sure.
Anyways, have a good day!
