The Missing Princess
Chapter 39 - Preparing For The Interrogation

Reign

Three days ago I was told about an attack on the pack while I was gone. They have been sitting there waiting for someone to come talk to them. I purposely let them sit down there and worry when someone was going to show up. My little copper flame was more important and I needed to take care of her. She was better but I could tell she was still weak from using that much magic. I was becoming concerned since she wasn’t eating much but this morning at breakfast she began to eat normally for her. She wasn’t pale any longer either. I hadn’t gone to the office since she was injured, and I don’t really need to. Most of my shit can be done remotely. I only go in if there is a meeting or some sort of presentation. I will go into the office if there is a board meeting but beside that I work remotely. My PA is a fucking god sent. It helps that she is a witch and knows when to bother me. I really need to make her the COO since she more or less runs the show. I pay her extremely well and she deserves it. She was actually one of the two people that helped Myra protect the pack house when Kodi went head first into the main fight. I both hate and love that fact that she is willing to fight for the pack.

“How is her shoulder?” I asked.

“It is fine. It was 98% healed when you took her from the hospital. There isn’t even a scar.” Chiron sighs.

“Reign I am fine. I heal damn near as fast as you. Yes, I am still a little week but that is from using to much of my power and not staying near the water. I was doing fine until I left but I don’t regret leaving. They needed help and I was just enough of a distraction that it helped them gain the upper hand over the rogues.” Kodi told me.

“I know, but when I heard you had been injured Blade and I lost our fucking minds. I don’t think we have packed so fucking fast. I am pretty sure I scared the shit out out of Lester, who I still need to apologise to. All rational thought vanished and all I could think was the worst.” I admit.

I noticed Chiron was gone. Not fucking surprised. Kodi plops her ass into my lap as I lean my chair back. She curls herself into a ball like a kitten on my lap. I feel something else moving around. I glance down to see Daimonio has also made himself at home on my lap. I roll my eyes as the little shit starts kneading then finally lays down. I will say Kodi named him well. He is still a tiny little thing but he has all my warriors on their toes when he is out. We weren’t going to let him explore the pack house until he got bigger but the little shit snuck out one day and we found him in the kitchen. All the omegas were suckered by the little shit and his big blue eyes. They spoil him. A few of the warriors came in dressed in shorts and all worked up from their training. Daimonio saw them and puffed up hissing at them. Not a second later he had them on the run. I came running in when Fern and Shay started laughing like fucking hyenas. Okay so I started laughing at the sight when I saw what was happening. Of course the warriors weren’t thrilled when a video started circulating around showing a tiny kitten chasing them around the pack house.

“What are you laughing about?” Kodi asks.

“Just thinking of the video where this little demon was chasing my well trained and high skilled warriors around the pack house.” I chuckle.

I smile when I hear her start giggling about it as well. I will say the little shit has grown, but compared to everyone that walks around here he is fucking tiny. Kodi is taking him to the veterinarian tomorrow. Brandy and Raef are going with her. After all this I talked with her and they are now her guards. She fucking hated the idea, but was okay with those two since she knew them. They are more there to make sure she gets to where she needs to be safely. Raef pointed out that she is more dangerous than him and Brandt put together, which is the truth, but it made me feel better that they would be with her when she leaves the pack. Thankfully she only goes a few places. Mainly to Noa’s café, my office to discuss different sponsor opportunities, and a few other places when she needs to shop. She doesn’t shop that often and only when she needs bathroom stuff or new lingerie. I am okay with her going there, but now that I think about it I am not okay with Raef and Brandt going with her when she shops for shit like that.

“Don’t worry I will take one of the other women with me. Yesayrina and Noelani are more than happy to come with me and if they can’t I can always call Dani. Her and Ellie will be more than happy to pop over and go shopping. My brothers are driving her nuts. She isn’t even showing and she told me last time we talked they were hovering over her like fucking mother hens. I think she may kill them soon.” Kodi comments.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if she did. Those two can be fucking annoying.” I remark.

She laughs as she sits up. This disturbs the other animal sleeping in my lap. All he does is crack an eye open. He stands up stretches then jumps down slinking over to the chair by the window. His little ass climbs up into it. Turning in a few circles he then lays back down. Cats are so fucking weird.

“I need to go and fix a few things Fern found wrong with my book. I will check back with you later.” Kodi told me.

I watch her pick up the little demon and leave my office. I let out a sigh this means I need to get back to work. I was trying to avoid it and with them here I had an excuse to ignore all this shit. Now I don’t. I let out a growl and open my laptop up.

Kodi

I opted to come shopping with Dani and Ellie. Reign and the guys were going to have a chat with the rogues that we captured a few days ago. While I am all for a nice little chat and probably a little bit of torture, I would rather spend the day with Dani and Ellie. I woke up this morning feeling off. I am still a little weak from the other day so I am chucking up to that. I will see what happens. I know Reign has been hoping that I am pregnant. I have nothing against kids, but I am not sure I am mother material. I don’t feel very maternal. I never gave kids much of a thought after everything with Uncle Randy happened.

“Are you okay?” Ellie asked.

“Yes, I have had a lot on my mind.” I admit.

“Sweetheart what is going on?” Grandmother asks.

She snuck out with Ellie and Dani. I had no idea she was coming, but I am glad she did. Her and grandfather have shown me pictures of Mom and Dad. I look like both of them. Rory and Vance look more like Mom, but I can see some of Dad in them, but I am a good mixture of both of them. I felt bad telling my family that I don’t miss them, but its hard to miss something you never knew or had. Grandmother told me not to feel bad. I was so young when all that shit happened and while I do have a few fuzzy memories about them I can’t recall what their voices sounded like. Reign told me that Dani felt the same way about their mother and about what happened. I told him it wasn’t really the same situation, but once he explained I did see a few similarities. It made me feel better, but I still feel shitty that I don’t miss them.

“Maybe your pregnant.” Ellie points out.

“I thought of that but I took a test a few days ago and it was negative.” I replied.

“Sweetheart that may be okay for wolves, but not the fey. Fey pregnancies aren’t always noticed right away and even after several pregnancy test that still come up negative the female fey might still be pregnant. Our bodies evolved to protect the pregnancy because of all the wars so many years ago. I do know that the dark fey sometimes don’t find out until the child is born. Again this happened for safety. It evolved to protect the child and mother. A pregnant woman is an easy target, well some are. I would wait a month and take another test or maybe have an ultrasound. I can tell you that being part wolf the baby would show itself earlier than if you were full fey.” Grandmother explained.

Fuck, what she said does make sense but now I am starting to freak out.

“I don’t think I am ready to be a mother. Hell, I don’t feel overly maternal or that I would be a good mother.” I admit.

“You will be a great mother. Kodi you have been through so much and most of this is fear from what happened with your parents. Yes, my deranged son is out there but I know you will take care of him when the time comes. No woman is ever ready to have a child but you have numerous people that will support you and you have Reign. You are not alone in this.” Grandmother points out.

I fall into her arms crying. I know what she says is true but I am still freaked out. I know that if I am pregnant that makes me more dangerous because I will do everything in my power to protect my child. I need to talk with Reign and think about this. Dani’s phone starts ringing and I giggle when she rolls her eyes. I can hear Reign on the other end asking what the fuck is wrong with me. I must have accidentally been blocking him out of our link. I look at my phone and realise it is dead. I tell him that I am fine and that we were just having a talk and that grandmother told me something about my parents.

I apologise about ignoring him in our link and that I hadn’t realised I did that and that my phone is dead. He grumbles something and tells me to get home soon. I hang up and apologise to Dani but she waves me off. Dani lets out a growl which causes me to turn around. I roll my eyes as I watch my brothers walk towards us. I should have known they wouldn’t stay away from Dani that long. I sure as fuck hope Reign isn’t like this or I might kill him. I guess time will tell.

“Well how was the shopping trip?” Reign asked. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“It was fine till my fucking brothers showed up. Dani was pissed, but grandmother told them off and forced them to go back to the kingdom.” I told him.

I have already showed him what I got which wasn’t lingerie. I could tell he was a bit disappointed, but he liked the things I did show him. I also discussed what grandmother had told me.

“If you are then we will deal with it. Neither Blade or I have noticed your scent change which would be a dead give away, but with what your grandmother described we may not notice right away. The two of us will be more observant.” Reign say.

“I also agree with your grandmother. You are going to be a great mother. Our kids will learn so much from you. Plus you have me to help, not to mention Dad and the rest of the pack, your family will help as well. You are not alone.” Reign added.

I lay my head on his chest as he tells me this. It does make me feel better, but I still can’t help but feel anxious. I think I will talk with Myra tomorrow. Her and I have become good friends, even if her nephew Amir gives me creeper vibes. I also don’t feel like I can trust him. He is always staring at me when I am over there. I sometimes get the feeling that Myra doesn’t trust him that much either. I think I will tell the guys about my thoughts on him tomorrow. Reign wants to tell me what they found out from the rogues today while we were shopping. I bet it was nothing good but I guess I will find out tomorrow.
