The Missing Princess

Kodi

I sat there staring at Eli not sure I believe what he just told us. He had called Reign two days ago and asked when it would be possible to come and talk with us. I wasn’t surprised he called since I knew that Reign and him were allies and all. I was pissed when I learned what Reign had asked him to do. Believe me Reign knew how pissed I was and I can’t help but sit here watching him squirm with a smug look on his face. The others are looking at him like he is nuts and he might be. I gave him the cold shoulder and slept in the guest room on Kekipi’s floor. It was only one night but that was all it took for him to apologise and let’s just say that most of the time he might be the dominant one in our bedroom but he wasn’t that night.

“What the fuck is wrong with you?” Ino asked.

“Nothing, lets just get on with it.” Reign grumbles.

“She kicked your ass didn’t she?” Rory asked.

“I didn’t kick his ass but I did beat his ass.” I drawl.

“Okay, no, shut the fuck up. We don’t need to know that about our little sister.” Vance hisses.

I would have said more but Reign pulled me into his lap and buried his face in my neck with a growl. I am sure he is glaring at the guys. Rory and Vance have a horrified look on their faces which gives me great pleasure. Eli, Xenton, and Quinton are trying hard not to laugh at this entire situation.

-My little copper flame shut your sexy little mouth.- Reign

-It is nothing to be embarrassed about. There are numerous men out there that like being tied up and used as sex toys by their mates, wives, girlfriends or significant other.- Me

-I think that lace gave me a rash.- Reign

-Oh, well I am sure Chiron has something at the hospital that can help.- Me

-There is no fucking way I am asking for shit like that from him. He will run his mouth to Dad and then I won’t hear the end of it.- Reign

-Hush, we need to pay attention to our guests.- Me

I cut the link but I heard Blade huffing as I cut the link. I am pretty sure that was his way of laughing at Reign but I should remind him that he came forward at one point and I know he enjoyed being tied up and played with just as much as Reign did.

“You two are gross.” Vance comments.

“Says the twins that let their mate coat them in edible latex like shit, then let her peal it off each of them with her teeth all while being tied up with their asses in the air as she spanked them.” I dead pan.

The entire room erupts in laughter as Rory and Vance turn redder than my hair is. I can feel Reign laughing as the rumble in his chest vibrates through me. Poor Uncle Aaron looks horrified and slightly green with the direction our conversation has turned. Dani is laying on the floor laughing her ass off at her mates as they sit there pouting and getting redder by the minute.

“That is enough. This conversation has gone in a direction that I don’t want to hear, especially when it comes to my little girl.” Uncle Aaron roars.

I sit there with a smirk on my face overly proud of myself. Serves them right trying to tease Reign. While I don’t want to hear about my brothers sex lives, Dani and I were discussing different kinks we liked and what our men liked and that story just kind of spilt out of her mouth. I was horrified when I heard it but now it made the best revenge.

{We are going to kick your ass. Rory}

{Bring it on. Me}

{I hate you so much right now. Just wait pay back is a bitch. Vance}

{You two don’t scare me. Just remember everything you can do I can do better. Remember who has control of the shadows. Me}

I don’t think I have seen two grown men pout like my brothers. Reign is still squirming in his seat so I link one of the omega’s to grab the red bottle out of the bathroom in our room. My grandmother makes this crème that works amazingly on any type of rash. I am deathly allergic to wool. I accidentally grabbed one or Reign’s jackets the other day and it was made from wool. I broke out in a horrible rash along with welts. Thank god for that crème. We took a quick break as the omega’s also brought in a large quantity off food and drinks for this meeting.

“Oh good there is food.” Duncan says.

“What are you doing here?” Eli asked.

“I wanted to come see my long lost cousin and Kodi said it would be fine.” Duncan replied.

He isn’t wrong. He did call Reign the other day asking if he could come hang out here for a while. I get the feeling that Duncan isn’t your typical merman. He seems more at home on land than in the water. He plops his ass down by Kekipi and starts shovelling food into his mouth. Xenton then explains what they know and they tell us everything they have found out.

“Russia, why the hell would they be there? I don’t know everything about the fey, but I know that neither light or dark fey like the cold and last I knew Russia was fucking freezing.” I point out.

“This is true, but that would make it the perfect place to hide. His mate, Dobrita, her family is of Russian descant so it makes sense that they would go there. I did look into why and how they would have been there the night that your house in Cali went up in flames, but so far nothing. I believe that they had someone either watching you or worse someone that Randy trusted was working for or with Zenos and Dobrita.” Quinton states.

“Kodi can you think of anyone that Randy talked to regularly that wouldn’t have raised his suspicion?” Uncle Aaron asked.

“No, he talked to a couple of our neighbours but besides that no. Our day to day life was boring. Uncle Randy would drop me off at school then pick me up when it was done. I didn’t have many friends which was fine with me. No one was close enough to us that I would suspect them.” I admitted.

“Then he must have had people out looking for Randy. I know he had some watching the pack for a while after Jasper and Estella were killed. It didn’t last long though since their youngest was never seen here.” Xenton comments.

I heard Uncle Aaron growl as did Reign. I knew they were both pissed to find out that Zenos had watched the pack back then. I wasn’t surprised. He wanted me and he knew Uncle Aaron and my parents were close, plus he knew that Mom had been here when I was born so it only made since that he would watch the pack.

“Okay so why did you need to meet with us?” I asked.

“We were hoping you could give us Duncan’s number but that won’t be necessary since he is here.” Eli answers.

“Why would you need his number?” Reign asked.

“Because I am a fucking genius.” Duncan deadpans.

Duncan

All eyes are on me and I can’t help but laugh. I am sure that was the last thing that they were expecting me to say. I know they weren’t expecting Eli to be looking for me. I might be the youngest, but I am smarter than Vahir and Cerelium. Vahir hates it, but Cerelium is proud of me.

“Please explain.” Kodi says.

“Cerelium is the oldest of the three of us, he just turned 30 three months ago, even if he acts like he is 60. Vahir will be 27 in five more months.” I told them.

“And you?” Reign asked.

“I just turned 18 two weeks ago.” I replied.

Yeah, that shut everyone up. Kodi was staring at me like I grew a second head. I knew when I said that I was a genius and when I told them my age I knew they were going to freak out.

“Cerelium and Vahir are my half brothers. Their mother was killed in all the shit that has been going on for years now. Dad found his second chance mate with my mother who is half mermaid and half witch. No, I didn’t inherit any magic so no need to freak out. That is also the reason I am more comfortable on land. Mom and Dad knew I was different when I was two and started reading. I graduated high school at 12, and college just before I turned 16. I have my masters in all things IT and can hack anything. I am guessing Eli needs me because Zenos must have a hacker of his own that keeps rerouting you guys to various locations.” I explained.

“Yes, and it is getting extremely annoying.” Quinton hisses.

Xenton and Quinton begin to tell us everything that they have found and what happens when they get close to figuring out where those assholes are hiding. I can think of a few guys and girls that might be the mystery hacker, but they are all human and I doubt that Zenos would hire a human. My laptop is open as my fingers fly across the keyboard.

“Holy shit, your land walker.” Kodi screams.

Everyone in the room flinches when she screams. I might only be a half breed but my hearing is very sensitive and I can only imagine how the others feel with her screaming in such a confined space.

“My little copper flame I don’t think was necessary.” Reign grumbles.

“Sorry, I got a little excited.” She admits.

“A little, I am fucking deaf now.” Rory hisses.

I laugh when she flips them off. Oh the joys of having siblings. I laugh when Alpha Aaron tells the three of them to behave as Reign slaps Kodi’s thigh. She leans back against Reign with her arms crossed over her chest pouting. I take a bite of my sandwich.

“I will need to either stay here or with you Eli. I need a home base to work from.” I state.

“You are welcome to stay with us. We have a room that you can use and I am sure Quinton will be more than happy to show you our IT unit.” Eli comments.

“Can I come? I haven’t ever been to the vampire kingdom.” Kodi asks.

“Of course you can. You are always welcome within my kingdom. I am not sure if your Alpha likes this idea though.” Eli drawls.

“He can come with me if he wants, but I can fucking take care of myself.” Kodi growls.

She reminds me of my mother. Same feisty attitude. I have no doubt that Reign will accompany Kodi when she comes with us to Eli’s kingdom. He really shouldn’t be worried. Eli and myself wouldn’t let anything happen to her, but if you want to know the truth after seeing those videos where she used her power I am more afraid of her anyone else in this room. We discuss the finer details as I key in a few things on my laptop. Whoever is helping Zenos has nothing on me. They might be able to reroute Quinton and the others, but that shit won’t work on my or my laptop. My laptop is untraceable. Who knows maybe I will find my mate in Eli’s kingdom. I have always had a fascination with vampire’s and I am not sure why. I step out of the room to call Dad and let him know what is going on and that I won’t be back for a while. He isn’t surprised and tells me to keep him and my brothers updated on what is going on. I am sure Cerelium will call Reign to speak with him about everything. I have a good feeling about this.
