An Unexpected War - Kylie (snow like ashes series .txt) 📗

gave Aloiki the scariest glare I have ever seen in my entire life. Aloiki flinched, backing slowly to the door.
"AUNT LEILANI, CORY'S GIVING ME THE EVIL EYE AGAIN, AND...DELILAH'S HERE..." Aloiki shouted.
Leilani, Kylia and Cory's mother, rushed into the room, tackling me with a hug. Leilani was tall, with hair completely unlike Cory's and Kylia's. She had long, curly dyed-white hair, and Cory's amber eyes. Leilani isn't THAT old; She had had Kylia and Cory when she was 16, and now she's 34. Not THAT old. Leilani's husband, William died serving in the military when Cory and Kylia were six; Cory had insisted we get married that same year. Cory and Kylia had their dad's wheat-blonde hair, but Cory had been born with Leilani's previously raven black hair. Cory's hair eventually paled to wheat blonde.
"Oh, my other baby. I missed you. Hows it going? I hear from Kylia and Lloyd you and Aaron have been busy." Leilani said, causing heat to rise in my cheeks.
"Lani!" I gasped.
"Are you my auntie?" Calico tugged on Leilani's hand. Leilani saw Calico and laughed.
"Damn girl, you didn't waste any time. Aaron's the daddy?" Leilani said. Cory glared at Leilani, who added. "Aw, you made Cory angwy. HE wanted to knock you up."
"Auntie, your wrong. I got 2 daddies." Calico held up two fingers. "And one mommy, and LOTS of aunties and uncles. And I got a sissy, and a bwother, and another bwother, and I gots a cousin, and two more coming!"
Leilani paled.
"4 children, and your 18...I don't want to know how many guys you've whored around with-"
"Shut. Up." Cory growled.
Leilani raised an eyebrow.
"Shut up, Mom." Cory growled again.
"I'm not a whore, thank you very much. Not my fault I got into a fight with the first guy, and went to another." I muttered.
"Kylia said you only have 1. How can you have 4?" Leilani asked. "Not like anyone as skinny as you could be knocked up-"
Leilani stopped when she touched my stomach. I don't know why or how, but if you felt my stomach when I was pregnant, it felt like I was...well, pregnant. Leilani looked up at me.
"Triplets?" She asked.
I nodded.
Cory huffed when the phone rang. He stalked over, picking it up, and grunting a hello. He conversed with the person on the phone, before hanging up.
"Iki, Kylia flew in. I'll take Delilah." He grumbled.

Cory took me into his room, leaving Calico with Leilani. The next thing I knew, I was pinned against the wall.
"Who?" Cory asked.
I blinked my eyes, cocking my head in confusion.
"Who what?" I asked.
"Who knocked you up?" Cory snapped.
I flinched, causing Cory's expression to soften.
"You met Aaron, right?" I started. "Well-"
"That whoreson fucked you? WHY would you LET him?" Cory interrupted.
"Aaron's changed. We, uh, we were considering marriage before my other boyfriend barged into my life. I'm stuck with both, and had to seperate them, since they're ready to kill each other over me. I liked it better when no one liked me-"
I was cut off by Cory kissing me.
He shoved me harder against the wall, moaning when I let him. I felt the bulge in his pants get bigger, poking at me.
"I...Saved myself...For you. Never once...dated another girl." He said inbetween kisses. "And if it weren't for those damn babies you're carrying, I'd..."
A wrack of pain went through my stomach. I gasped, shoving Cory away before dropping to my knees, clutching my abdomen. Oh not here, I thought. Not now. I can't go into labor here.
Cory croutched down, looking at me.
"I think...Get Leilani, quick." I gasped, before another wave of pain went through me, causing me to cry out in pain.
Cory stiffened, before running out to get Leilani.

--AARON'S POV--
I gasped when Delilah shrieked in my head, causing Shane to rush to me. The last of our troops had left a day ago, and we have yet to hear from them. My pack, and a few kids and woman remained at the house, including Chalice, and her new twins, Aiden and Arabelle.
"Something wrong, bro?" Shane asked, a sleeping Aiden in his arms.
"I...I heard Delilah scream." I said.
DELILAH!!

I cried, worried that something had injured her.
Aaron...I'm having the babies...It hurts...More than with Coco...So much blood...

Delilah gasped. Cory is going to die afterwards.

I grew alarmed. Cory? Whose this CORY? IS she cheating on me yet AGAIN? It was bad enough with Kai, but now this CORY?
"Dude, are you okay?" Shane asked me.
"Delilah's in labor or something, and I'm not there, YET AGAIN." I growled through my clenched teeth.
Shane's gaze softened; He understood what its like when your mate is having your baby. Technically the triplets are Kai's but any baby of Delilah's is a baby of mine.
"Its okay man. She'll be alright. I can feel it." Shane replied, clapping a hand on my back, Aiden balanced on his hip. Halfie twins grow fast; Aiden and Arabelle are currently one.
"Awouuw!!!" Aiden protested.
"Yes, I know, Aiden." Shane cooed.
I snapped, pushing by Shane, running out of the house. I was tired of having the worst of luck! I just wanted to end it all. But, how would Delilah feel, if I were to be gone forever? I reached the field at the back of the house, and dropped to my knees, gripping my hair.
"DANG IT!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. I continued to yell and curse until a hand clamped down on my shoulder, causing me to stagger up. It was Agamemnon, his face full of sadness.
"I never thought life would be so mean to you. I didn't realize how hard it would be for you once you gained power. I'm sorry." Agamemnon sympathized.
I shook out of his grip.
I wish none of this had happened. I wish I was normal. A normal college kid who skips his classes for parties, and to go to the movies with his girl. A kid who could listen to his girlfriend rambling on and on about her future. To have a place of my own, along with my own car, and own worries. But no, I'm a freak.
Got that right. If you were normal, I wouldn't be in this mess. I wish you never had imprinted on me! In fact, I wish you were dead!

Delilah growled in my head, before another scream reached me.
That was all I needed to hear. I rushed into the kitchen, the same things repeating in my mind.
She wants me dead. She really wants me dead.

I shook my head, before Lyall's voice reached my head.
Then we shall die for her.

He said.
He gained control, forcing my hand to wrap around the biggest butcher knife the kitchen had to offer. I had no say. Somewhere deep in my heart, I WANTED to die. It would make Delilah happy.
"NO!" A female voice shrieked.
For a wavering moment, I thought it had been Delilah, and Lyall loosened his grip on the knife. Boy, was I wrong. In the doorway stood a pastey-faced Malie, who looked stunned with fear. Lyall growled at her, gripping the knife so hard, my knuckles turned white and nearly bled.
"AARON!" Malie screamed, as Lyall crazily drove the butcher knife into my chest. I gained control as I collapsed, feeling as if a mule had kicked me in the lungs. Malie was suddenly cradling me to her body, trying to force the knife out of my heart, or whatever I had hit. My breath came out in gasps and shutters, as I tried to say goodbye to my mom, but to no avail. Delilah's voice came warped in my mind, after a minute of absolutely no air.
AARON! I didn't mean it! I...OH MY GOD!

Delilah's voice took on a wavering sound in my head. Don't die on me, Aaron, you ass. Don't leave me. You stupid bastard.

I took one last wavering gasp, before the walls, the table, even Malie faded to a navy blue-black.
Lyall's voice was the last thing I heard.
We're such an idiot. A stupid, hormonal, blind idiot.

Chapter 7

--AARON'S POV--
I found myself floating up the steps of a house similar to the one Daniel lives in. Not even touching the door, I wound up in a bedroom. It was plain and white, with a bed, a dresser, the usual. But, on the bed sat a sobbing Delilah, a boy similar looking to Kylia rubbing circles on Delilah's back. I grew angry and jealous. NO ONE touches MY MATE and lives. Well, Kai's alive, but he runs. I'll get him soon enough.
"Ssh..Leilani is making you your favorite, spiced hot cocoa. Mind telling me what the lady said on the phone?" The boy asked Delilah softly.
"You p-promise y-you won't j-judge m-m-me, Cory?" Delilah asked between sobs.
The boy, Cory, nodded.
Delilah sniffled.
"Y-you met Aaron, right?" Delilah asked.
Cory nodded.
"Well, he was my boyfriend, a-and w-we got into this...Fight, a-and I said th-that I wished he was dead. He's a dumbass. I didn't mean it at all, b-but,"
Delilah choked on the words. "He went and he stabbed himself with a fucking butcher knife. Did it right in front of Malie-that's his mom. She was there, and she was the one who c-called me. He punctured his fucking lung, and hit a rib. A-and...I think he might be dead, considering that theres little chance of Malie-She's a doctor-fixing him." Delilah explained.
"Is he dead right now?" Cory asked, continuing to rub Delilah's back as she fought back tears.
Delilah paused.
"No. They used that knock-you-out stuff on him-"
"Sedatives."
"Y-yeah. So basically he's in a sort of coma." Delilah said.
When Delilah finished speaking, she looked up in my direction and froze. I took the chance to speak.
"Delilah..." I said lamely.
She mouthed my name, turning as pale as a ghost. Cory looked at her, concerned.
"You okay?" He asked.
Delilah looked at him.
"Y-yeah. Just cramps, because of...You know."
"I'm so sorry they didn't make it. Must suck, 4 of your family members dead, on the same day-"
"I don't want to talk about the triplets."
Wait...4 dead? she doesn't want to talk about the triplets? Realization dawned on me. Delilah had a stillbirth! Er, three. Just then, a woman with white hair and amber eyes came in with a tray of mugs.
"Oh, my poor baby. All you've been through since Damon died." The woman said. "Does Kylia know about whats going on?"
"Nope, Leilani." Delilah said.
"Call me Aunt, really. Any friend of my babies are family." Leilani said.
"Mom..." Cory groaned.
Oh. So Leilani was Kylia and Cory's mother.
"Aunt Leilani?" Delilah asked as she sipped from the mug.
"Hmm?"
"Do you believe in ghosts?"
Leilani looked at Delilah.
"I do. But then again, I've never seen a ghost." Leilani admitted.
"I saw one a few minutes ago." Delilah pointed out.
Cory gaped at Delilah.
"He's right there, staring at us." Delilah
