Though from the way she says it, it makes it seem as though it's not something she's as sure of anymore. Back home, it seems easy to justify - her family is all she has. She doesn't have connections or friendships, much as she may attempt, because in the end, there's always another evil coming, another challenger seeking vengeance for the past crimes of her family. She has to put them first because if she doesn't she may lose them.
Wonderland, however, has forced her to slow down. To reshape her perspective and see that the people she's so willing to discard are still people and while she's still willing to make the hard choices when needed, to do the wet work, but she thinks a bit more on the consequences. It's hard to just kill the problem when there's a chance that the problem won't stay dead.
"But Lucien ... well, it complicated, but essentially he created a spell based on the one our mother created to turn you all, and added a werewolf kicker. He milked all seven of the werewolf bloodlines and created a venom from that, used my blood to jumpstart it, and the regent of New Orleans to cast it in Mystic Falls - against his will, I might add. It was almost as though the ancestors were possessing him."
