Chapter Thirteen

 I was in Lila's room sitting on her bed as I watched her unpack in one of the many empty rooms in our house. It was Friday after school and I was dreading having detention with August tomorrow.

"Do you think you can get me out of detention?" I asked Lila. She turned around and gave me a smirk.

"I'm new around so asking for favors so early would be stupid." She replies and hangs some more clothes. Nikolina walks in with a bowl of ice cream. I was still mad at her for what she said to the twins yesterday.

Theo banned them and Ben from coming over after seeing the destruction of the house. I didn't really care much...all they did was cause trouble for me.

Nikolina sits next to me on the bed, rubbing her shoulder with mine and caused the bed to bounce.

"You can't possibly be mad at me forever." She smiles with her teeth and bats her eyelashes.

I roll my eyes and lay my back against the bed.

"How are Lycan Royalty babies born?" I asked her randomly as I stared up at the white ceiling.

"It's no different than a human baby. Except you have the Lycan in you for about 3-5 months. It's brutal. It's like they are using you as their host and doesn't care what happens to you. They drain all of your energy until they are born. Most mothers don't heal until a few days or so." She answers me. Her big brown eyes trail down to me to see my reaction. I don't even blink. "But in your case, I think you have some weird kinky threesome with the twins so-"

I gawk at her in horror and slap her arm. "Nikolina!" She giggles and sobers up.

"What happened to your kids, Lina?" Lila asks curiously. 

"I had four babies. They developed their powers pretty early and I was scared to have any kids at first because I didn't want them to be like me. But Mikol was convincing." 

"Who's Mikol?" Lila and I both say in unison.

"The guy I ran away with. The love of my pathetic life. After I turned, I was blood thirsty. I attacked Mikol first and bit him. He then attacked me like I did him. It's like a transition to a vampire but he had to feed on my blood to live. He turned into a werewolf at first but he would go on rampage towns and kill every single person until we met a witch. She turned him into a Lycan so he could have full control under the full moon. So we had three girls and one boy. None of the girls lived because Mikol killed them. Like I said, the babies would use you as a host and that's exactly what happened. I wanted to kill myself each time during the pregnancies. So Mikol took them out of me and killed them one by one with his bare hands..." She said in detail. 

Lila and I watched her in silence. Nikolina looked off into the distance as if she was living it all over again. Her face was stone cold but she stayed strong. That's what I liked about her. Even living through the worst.

 "I knew the moon goddess was punishing me over something so small. I always wondered how my father could worship someone so evil. Anyways, Mikol and I had to try one last time to have a baby. But running away from Blood Hunters was hard and they found us. The Blood Hunters tortured him and set him on fire and made me watch as he burned. Then they took their knife and sliced off his head. I ran so fast and they ran just as fast. I took shelter in some human's home and gave birth there . He looked exactly like Mikol. Light brown eyes and silky brown hair. He was beautiful and I abandoned him at that human's house. I never saw him again but I knew he survived when I saw my doppelganger."

"What's a doppelganger?" I interrupted.

"You have so much to learn." Lila rolled her eyes. "One of your descendants that looks exactly like you."
