Selene looks at Michael but pulls Kailyn closer, "what about Sonja?" she asks as her daughter starts to calm in her hold. She never met her dark sister but if her daughter was dreaming about her then Kailyn will know more about her than she herself.

"Her little ramble, it sounds a lot like what started the war and I was dreaming about her death when Kailyn's scream woke me," the hybrid explains as he kneels in front of his lover and her child.

Selene sighs and drops a kiss to Kailyn's head; she readjusts her hold on her daughter and lifts her up. The mother faces the two Lycans who had been sheltering her daughter since her exile "how often?" she is far from stupid and from their looks she knows it has happened in the past.

Drake is still looking at Kailyn and is too preoccupied to answer so his mate does it for him, "every full moon she has the nightmares, we don't know why but we believe that it has to do with the bite." The first time it had happened only their Alpha could calm her down and then it had been up to Drake to calm her, now Selene is with them it will be her because she will probably attack whoever tries to do so and Ashera is glad that Drake knows this even if it is clear he wants to comfort her.

"Usually we go out on Patrol after she-she regains her sanity," Drake jokes lightly and is glad when Selene nods but the mother walks out of the room and leaves the others in the room. Michael goes to follow but Drake grabs him "I'd leave them to it Michael, she's not your lover right now she's Kailyn's mother," the older Lycan warns and sees the defiance in the Hybrid's eyes and sighs.

Michael stands his ground and goes to follow the two Vampyres but Drake doesn't release his grip, Michael looks back at Drake with black eyes showing his annoyance "let go." Drake's eyes turn black also showing the younger male he isn't messing around, "why are the two separate? Why can't she be both my lover and a mother?" he questions as his eyes fade back to normal.

The father releases the Pup and tries to calm down enough to explain it but due to the full moon is finding it much more difficult, plus with his daughter being away from him and nearing her first heat he is feeling anxious that he isn't around to protect her from Claus's advances. Ashera takes pity on the Pup and decides to help out, "if you were Kailyn's father you would have a higher chance of you not being attacked but because you are a young Lycan Selene will see you as a major threat to her injured and scared daughter."

"But I'm not just a Lycan," he protests thinking it will help him in the long run. If it is his Lycan side that is the problem then he will just try to get his Vampyric side out, if it is at all possible.

Ashera runs a hand down her face in frustration "It's not you Michael it's her instincts you are not Kailyn's father and you will not be allowed to be near her right now, deal with it," with that she walks out of the room leaving Michael confused, he has never seen Ashera moody.

"full moon does funny things to everyone," Drake follows his mate and knows that she is also feeling jumpy at the fact that they do not need to change before the actual full moon unlike the others who are with Artemis in the lower grounds.

Selene is reclined against her headboard with Kailyn draped over her and she is rubbing her back, Kailyn has stopped muttering but she is still gripping onto her mother, "she looks a little like you y'know...when I first saw it I thought it was you but then I realised we didn't have Lycan prisoners like that and I didn't know what to think." Selene looks down in surprise, it is the first time Kailyn had told her about the dreams she usually clamped up when she calmed and she certainly isn't going to ruin it by asking questions, she wants to know more about her dreams or knowledge of Sonja. Kailyn doesn't pay her mother any attention as she continues to talk about Sonja, "as the dreams carried on I became interested in who she was but I never asked any of you especially not father or Viktor because he was the one killing this strange girl in my dreams. She intrigued me and I guess I became fascinated, I don't know how I have memories of her but I know she's my Aunt and your sister," Kailyn gets off of her mother and heads to the door and Selene can't seem to follow her because she is afraid that Kailyn may get angry. Kailyn looks back at her mother and gives a timid smile "time to Patrol with the older Lycans; you can join if you want."

Selene nods and gets up but first she needs to know something "who told you it was Sonja? I didn't even know about her until Kraven let it slip and I confronted Viktor." She watches her daughters shoulders tense at the mention of Kraven and Viktor, she doesn't blame her from what Kailyn has let slip about the past she knows Kraven tried to execute her and she knows that Viktor has also tried.

"Why do you think Tanis was exiled Mom?" Kailyn rebuffs as she leaves the room to get ready for Patrol and leaves her mother standing in the middle of her's and Michael's room with a look of understanding. Viktor had Tanis exiled because they had been speaking about Sonja behind his back and he bet that Kraven was the one to tell Viktor about them.

Luc looks down at the humans walking through the streets, such pitiful creatures they were and he could say that with honesty and without hypocrisy as he has never been Human, he was a pure breed and so was the man stood next to him. Tynan finds the humans to be amusing as they believed that they are top of the food chain, such small imaginations they hold "where do we look first?" the younger Vampyre asks his commanding officer.

This is why Dmitri demanded his presence in the hunt, he knows Selene best and will know where she knows to avoid them, and he is not looking forward to finding or fighting her. The more experienced Death dealer looks over the city in thought, his eyes caught the full moon and sighs as he knows that Kailyn will be out Patrolling, "they will not hide like Dmitri believes and they will come looking for us so tell the others to make little mistakes and hopefully they will follow one of us... head to the warehouses I do not want Humans watching this manifestation."

Tynan knows better than to ask how Luc knows what is going to happen but he relays the message as asked and follows Luc as he starts to head towards the warehouses and notices the subtle sloppiness in the older Vampyres movements, "Do you think we will encounter them tonight?" Tynan asks his close friend as the slowly jog across the rooftops.

Luc glances at his friend and nods "it is almost a full moon so only the most experienced of Lycans will be out and hunting and Selene is always restless so she will be out there with them and her Hybrid will surely follow."

So how do you think she has memories of Sonja?
