It had taken them a few hours but Kailyn was resting comfortably in a bed in the infirmary, Selene is sat next to her staring down at her with nothing but concern in her eyes. Michael is stood to the side with Ashera, Drake, Vaughn and Artemis, "She's healing slowly, and I don't understand why because she is a vampyre and she has scars over her body and one nasty one on her shoulder, it looks like a really bad dog bite."
"It's not a dog bite Michael, you know very well what it is seeing as it happened not too long ago with you" Vaughn replies to the young immortal whose face turns to shock. Ashera moves to sit on the opposite side of Selene so she can monitor the girl's outputs and making notes on improvements or worsening on health, Drake leans back against the wall watching the emotion playing on Selene's face. Vaughn glances quickly at Kailyn before looking back at Michael "Kailyn is the only person to survive a bite from both species...before you that is and we don't know how it affected her but we think it slowed down her healing."
Artemis continued from his understudy "her healing slowed down but she seems to have become slightly stronger...we think it's because of her bloodline that she survived" Michael nods but seems confused seeing as she doesn't actually know whose Kailyn's father is and he never thought to ask "you seemed confused my young friend what puzzles you?" the alpha notices the confused look on Vaughn's face as well but of course Drake knew.
Michael looks over at Selene and saw she is looking at him waiting for him to ask the question "so Selene would survive a Lycan bite" he states but receives a snort from Drake who obtains a glare from Ashera and Selene, Artemis frowns as she shakes his head and it became clear he did not know who Kailyn's father is "so her father would?" the hybrid's forehead scrunches up in confusion.
"I will say no more on the matter because Kailyn knows more about it than I could ever hope to grasp, she's the one who helped Lucian with his dream of creating a hybrid" Selene laughs at that bit of information and everyone turns to look at her some sharing her amused look whilst some look downright confused.
Selene strokes her fingers down her daughters cheek as she speaks affectionately "you were always one to try and piss off Viktor weren't you, never liked him from the day you met him" she laughs again and places a gentle kiss on the blondes forehead.
Drake comes over and stands behind his mate and places his hands on her shoulders "her favourite past time was to go out hunting death dealers after her 'death' and she would always say one more down is one more pain in Viktor's ass" Selene nods and glances at him briefly "she hasn't told you why she did it has she?" the mother finally focuses on him and shakes her head "she's a lot more like her mother than you first thought Selene" his answer is too vague for the ex-death dealer to know what he's on about.
No one makes a sound for a while and eventually Vaughn and Artemis need to leave "I have to attend to some business but as soon as the trouble maker is awake inform me I need to speak to her about some business" the alpha turns and leaves without getting a reply which doesn't surprise Selene as his demands are met by his pack usually without question.
Selene groans as she moves her neck, she must have fallen asleep because her head is down on the bed and her neck has gotten stiff. As her surrounds come back to her she notices that Ashera and Drake are nowhere to be seen but Michael is examining Kailyn closely almost as if he is trying to decide something because his face is full of concentration "what are you doing?" she asks and represses a smile as her hybrid jumps at the sound of her voice.
Michael looks up from Kailyn to Selene and shrugs "I've never really just looked at her and I'm doing it now, she looks a lot like you but her other features like her eyes and lips aren't yours but they do seem familiar to me but I can't place them" he doesn't ask who her father is because he doesn't want Selene to feel uncomfortable in anyway. Selene looks down at Kailyn again and sees what Michael means she does look a lot like her surprisingly; a small smile appears on her face but Michael continues before she can comment "apart from the blonde hair she would look almost identical to you" with that Selene laughs out loud confusing the poor male.
"she's not blonde" Selene gets out between laughs, she has no idea why it's so funny but it is and she can't help but laugh, Kailyn isn't naturally blonde and she has only seen her blonde since she took her helmet off in the alley all those nights ago.
A croaking voice sounds out between both immortals "S'not funny" the voice is weak but filled with amusement, Selene and Michael look down and to see green eyes staring at the female. Kailyn had woken up when Michael made the blonde comment.
"Kailyn, how do you feel?" Michael says as he checks the monitors again to make sure she is stable and not in any pain.
Kailyn is still looking at her mother and with all the strength she can muster she squeezes her mother's hand "mmmm floaty" the other two sigh in relief thanking medicine that she isn't in any pain. Kailyn's eyes start to droop and without much strength left in her body she quickly succumbs to sleep.
Selene strokes Kailyn's face as she looks up at Michael "go get the others and tell them Kailyn woke up, we don't want Artemis getting antsy waiting for Kailyn's health to improve...she's just sleeping now" Michael nods at Selene's suggestion and makes his way out of the room to find the alpha and the others, Selene looks back at Kailyn and sighs "you have to stop scaring me Kai, I'm too old for that" Selene says as she puts her head back on the bed and joins her daughter in sleep.
Sorry it took so long to update but I have a major case of the blocks
so this chapter contains another clue as to Kailyn's father if you haven't figured it out
and for those wondering how she survived the bite well its just another puzzle for you to work out...can't make it too easy can I
