Kai just gave a small nod, running a hand through her hair as she worked on calming down, if even just a a bit. Soon enough the kitchen returned to normal temperature and she could hear Iggy and her father going at it in the yard. "Bollux..." She grumbled, running a hand over her face. She knew Kyler wasn't thrilled about her sticking around either and the two of them together on her case was going to be a right pain in the ass.

Antonia stuck by Cirian as a little bird even after Ano had left for the moment. She was able to shield herself better this way. She knew she should probably head to Nina's or at least upstairs with Sare and Lily but she wanted to be in the loop. Kai could be charged with treason if Ano knows I'm here. Not that he'd rat out his daughter but he would NOT be happy....well, even worse than he is now. she explained to him mentally with a ruffle of her bright feathers.

Nina sighed, running a hand over her face. "He wants Kai to go home. To the safety of the castle until this clears. He's mad as all get out right now that she's bein so stubborn." She explained as she stood, thinking now she really did need a relaxing bath after all. "He's also demanding to know how we know...which meant Iggy has to rat me out. Ano doesn't know what to think right now...." She added, wrapping her arms around herself loosely.

Kyler stepped over and rubbed her arms with his hands gently. "Just breathe, love. You know that no matter what, I'll support you." He promised her. Even though he would love for her to be where it was safe, hell, his wolf was practically screaming it, he knew that she would never abandon her friends in the end. Which meant her staying here and that meant having to suck it up and deal with it.

Ciaran didn't even act surprised as he heard Kat's voice in his head. He let no outward signs that he heard anything before speaking up silently as well. He figured that if she could talk to him in his head, she could heard his thoughts too. Why would she be charged with treason? He asked her curiously.


Devin walked over and wrapped his arms around her from behind as he pressed a kiss into her hair. "Sounds like we've suddenly found ourselves between more of a rock and a hard place than before." He admitted. "Any chance that he's going to relent anytime soon? And what does it mean now that Ano knows about you?" He asked her, concern lacing his voice.

Kai mumbled something under her breath before nodding and leaning against him. "You side with him though...." She pointed out in the blunt way she had. "I didn't want him involved in this. Bloody hell they trust me to lead an infantry but I get knocked up and suddenly my judgment ain't worth shit." She knew he'd be there for her but this whole thing irked her horribly.


Kat mentally sighed, thinking that this should be fun to explain. I've...caused a lot of havoc on both planes, love. When I said I don't have a home...well its true. I bloody well think I'd be run out of your pack moment I set foot in the boundaries. In Lumnicera, where I'm really from, I'm seen as an outcast. Nothing better than the dirt under a boot yet I'm also something to be feared. I do what i have to to stay sane....and sometimes that means alining with some unsavory folk until the need has passed. since I don't pledge allegiance to any land being in contact with me can be charged with high treason... She tried to explain, wondering how this would sink in.


Nina leaned into him as she felt his arms around her, "I'm not sure....if he finds out Antonia is here we're in huge trouble. He's not sure what his reaction is to me yet. I'm not supposed to do what I do. This could open a whole other set of issues..." She admitted, biting her lip and looking to the floor. She hated feeling like this.

"I would like you safe, yes." Kyler agreed with her. "But I also know what good you could do here and how stubborn you are." He smiled down at her. "And you know we all value your judgement, love. We're just all over protective. Especially to your father and I, you and now Fiona are our first priority. We just want to see you safe. It's got nothing to do with questioning your judgement." He tried to soothe her.


Ciaran placed his chin in his hand as he leaned onto his arm on the armrest of the chair, his blue eyes focused on the scene in the kitchen even though he was listening to Kat. I can understand their concerns I guess, but I think they're being highly unreasonable. You're obviously a very loyal person with morals who got the shit end of the stick in life. Excuse my language. They're all just allowing their fear to take the best of them. It shows a weakness in character. He informed her in his matter-of-fact voice. It was like he was stating something obvious.


"What other issues?" Devin pressed her gently, wondering what it would hold in store for them later. Why couldn't things ever be easy? All he wanted was a simple, wonderful life with his mate. Why was this too much to ask for?

Kai resisted rolling her eyes, "Fiona is a top priority for me as well. James will be here once we're sure Erik is out of harms way. I've trained him myself and he's gone to Peter when I'm not there. Nothing will get to me." She insisted, knowing she would be stuck here while Bryce and Iggy went to deal with Griffith and his boards. She winced a bit, "Iggy explained Nina to my da....apparently, like my origins, they've kept it from us. They've known about her but played dumb for her safety..."


Antonia mentally chuckled when he mentioned she had morals. They were shaky at best. Morals? Oh laddy yer funny...but yer right in that theya driven by fear. They have good reason to be though. I don't blame them in the least. I'm a thing. A monster nightmares and legends are made of. I came to accept a long time ago that I could never have a true home. Family. Friends. I'm unpredictable and that scares others. she told him simply, knowing only their father knew a partially true reason as to why she left. She just didn't feel safe. People were starting to put pieces together and it was only a matter of time before they truly came after her.


Nina sighed softly, "If I can do this it means me folks hid me from the high priestesses. That I was supposed to grow up in that life, even if my abilities are only minor. Disrespecting the priestesses is a major problem back home. Me folks can be in some serious trouble....Thankfully Kai says I went through the second stage of growth here so they won't know of me right away. I'm not sure how Kai knows that but...." She shrugged, her voice becoming quiet. She thought she had a clue but she quickly dismissed it. She didn't want to talk about it again.

Kyler whistled softly as Kai mentioned her father finding out about Nina. "Shit is about to hit the fan, isn't it? I mean, even more so than it already has." He amended himself as he pressed a kiss into her hair. "What does it mean now that he knows?" He asked her curiously.


Everyone has their own set of morals in life. To anybody else, those morals will seemed skewed. While you do what you have to survive, you still have those morals intact. You're not a completely evil terror; nothing is ever 100% evil. There's shades of grey everywhere. Ciaran pointed out to her, his eyes still on the kitchen. Just because people have a reason to be scared, doesn't mean they should be weak and give in. And I call bullshit. You have a family. Just because we're not blood, doesn't mean we're not family.


"So... what does it mean for us? Does this mean you have to go back with the priestesses?" Devin asked her, his arms tightening around her as his stomach dropped. The thought of losing her made him absolutely sick and he couldn't even handle just thinking about it.

Kai sighed, “I’m not sure to be honest. He says she showed some signs of it when she was little but it faded and her markings are purely Brann. Nothing out of the ordinary. He said Kora and Cristoph played it off, telling her she simply had an overactive imagination but as she got older, especially after the ordeal with Lennon, things got more complicated. They knew even if the High Priestesses were to come get her Nina was no longer in any condition to be separated from her family and put under the rigorous training. I have to read my old texts again but if I’m right Devin is going to have his hands full in about a month’s time…” She tried to explain as her mind was half eavesdropping on Iggy and her father. It didn’t surprise her that they’d kept this a secret. They seemed to have a knack for doing that.

If Antonia could’ve rolled her eyes she would have. She had to remember Ciaran was the youngest of the boys. He was going to be prone to make nostalgic memories. Understand, lad, I believed I’d neva see ye all again. Evah. I believed that ye would be betta off…safer…without me. Still do believe that, in fact, but ye boys ah too damn stubborn for ye own good. I am somethin’ te be feared, lad. Not loved. She told him simply, obviously having come to grips with it long ago. Since she was born she’d been on her own. She tried and tried but it always in some kind of disaster. She fluffed her wings a little, adjusting her position on his shoulder to keep the form at bay.

Nina bit her lip and gave a small shrug, “I-I’m not overly sure to be honest, Dev…” She trailed off, looking up at him as numerous emotions swirled through her eyes. “Kai says she hopes to have more news for me soon. Something about a cycle or...." She sighed softly, looking back down at the floor for a moment before speaking up again. "I think the bath sounds like a really good idea right now." She finished instead, giving him a ghost of a smile even though her mind was still reeling.

Kyler nodded, actually trying to keep from eavesdropping on Ano and Iggy, his sharp ears actually able to pick up some of what hey were saying. "What's going to happen in a months time?" He asked her quietly, wanting to know what was in store for his cousin.


Doesn't matter if we never saw you again, you're still family. You made that decision once you decided to stay with us. You're stuck. Now quit whining about it and accept the fact. Ciaran actually rolled his eyes a little. I know what you're trying to do Antonia and it isn't going to work. You can fill our heads with as many horror stories as you want, even if they are all true. You're stuck with us. Even with as much of an asshole as I am, even I think everything deserves to have love. He informed her as he situated his head on his hand.



Devin just tightened his arms around her, seeing all of the conflicted emotions in her eyes and wishing that he could just take them all away for her. Leaning down, he gave her a soft kiss as he nodded. "Then let's pull you up a bath." He told her as he walked over to his rather large spa tub and turned the water on, adjusting the heat to just the way she liked it. The tub was a new installment he had put in along with the bed after the fiasco that had happened here with the other pack. He figured that Nina could use a little spoiling.

Kai sighed softly, glancing to make sure the Kincaids were upstairs with Sare for the moment. She didn’t want the kids worrying more than needed. “Remember everything that happened a few weeks ago? It probably would’ve happened anyway but her body is going through what they call a purge, which is why it took so long for her to recover. It was her body releasing everything that was hindering her from being able to communicate with spirits, hold the visions so they’re clearer, maybe eventually read the stars…” She told him simply, trying to wrap her head around it all. “In about a months time Devin will have his hands full, at least for the first night. The cycle includes a very painful influx of voices, images, sensory overload. Then it takes about a week to settle. It is comparable to someone talking to themselves for a week or a child talking to an imaginary friend. She has no training in this so this can go downward fast without Devin there to pull her back. It still doesn’t make sense though. Something else has to be at play here.”

Antonia pecked his ear as he told her she was whining. Ye a brat an not listenin’. I’m telling ye why othas ah afraid of me. I’ve grown up alone. Anyway ye ‘ave te realize it is gonna take me time to adjust back into this. I had te face the literal demons inside of me on me own. Frankly even I’m afraid of a few that have gotten loose…the fact I don’t feel remorse after a kill? Massacre really. She ruffled her feathers a bit, as if to shrug. I know what is no’mal and what isn’t. I know people ah afraid of me. I’ve come to accept it and, when the moment calls for it, embrace it.

Nina gave him a small smile, following him in as he set up the tub. She let out a quiet laugh, “This is…new.” She mused, having been too upset the night prior to realize the changes in the bathroom. “Ye gonna have to teach me how to use this one too…” She told him simply with a small smile.

Kyler stayed quiet as he listened while Kai explained what she knew about what was going on. When she finally finished, he sat back to take it all in. "It sounds like it's going to be a rough week." He finally commented. "Devin's not exactly thrilled. I guess him and Nina have discussed it a little. He's scared he's going to lose her." He murmured down to Kai.


I am listening, I just refuse to listen to your crazy talk. Ciaran said, almost sounding like he was teasing her. It does make sense, Kat, it really does. I'm just pointing out how it's going to be now. And I'm just letting you know that you'll always have a place with us. He informed her.


"New, but a definite improvement." Devin agreed with a smile before chuckling. "It'll be my pleasure, Sparky." He told her as he moved to grab the bubble bath. "Which one do you want?" He asked her, the water slowly filling in the tub now.
