Not strange for Nikolai

Each Novikov family member was present in the throne room, where Yulia could be seen panting heavily, her eyes taking on their blue wolf like appearance, and her hair looking scraggly. She appeared to have gone years without sleeping.

"My cue to leave." Rhaziel left right away, and Nikolai moved in the direction of his family looking totally unfazed.

"Nikolai." Alexander, who was perched on the throne, growled. Everyone in the room turned to look at Nikolai. 

As soon as Yulia spotted him, she screamed loudly and charged towards him, but Boris grabbed her quickly and held her tightly.

"Is Yulia telling the truth?" Alexander enquired.

"You're messed up, creature!" Yakim growled at Nikolai with his fangs bared in rage.

Nikolai almost innocently blinked. "What?"
