Kyran and Tristan pushed their way to his side. They may have not been triplets, but he couldn’t imagine being closer. He wrapped his arms around their shoulders and pulled them close. “What do we know?”
“Fucking dick all,” Meryn grunted. “If Law can’t dig shit up, my job is going to be tough.”
Caiden turned to him. “Your job?”
“Yeah, I’m gonna find your mom.”
“You are going to do what my older brothers cannot?”
“I do that shit all the time,” she rebuffed.
Kyran stared. “Really? Name one thing you can do, that they can’t.”
Meryn pointed to her mate. “I can fuck Aiden.”
Caiden dropped his hands and stared. He knew that wasn’t what Kyran meant, but his heart felt a bit lighter at her answer.
Aiden sputtered and looked up at the ceiling.
Lily came over and pulled all three of them into a hug. “That girl can work miracles with that laptop of hers. Between you, your brothers and her computer skills, we’ll find Abrielle.”
“Are you cool with her Aunt Lily? Since she tapped Uncle Marshall and all?” Meryn asked.
His father turned pale as he watched the conversation between his mate and his niece.
His mother turned to Meryn smiling. “That woman could have me switching teams. She’s like steel wrapped in lace andpower. I consider the boys true blessings from her. Besides, she was tapping Marshall before Christ was born, so I think I’m in the clear.”
“Whoooa. Wait. How old are you Caiden?” Meryn asked.
Caiden flushed. “I little over thirty-five hundred.”
“Fuck dude. I thought witches didn’t live that long,” she asked.
“We’re tied to our power, so the stronger we are…”
“So, some witches live as long as shifters and some die early like humans?”
Caiden nodded. “It is why we are considered the most human-like.”
“I would have thought the not being like eight-feet tall and golden, with fangs or turning furry would determine that,” she countered.
Pierce pointed. “She’s not wrong.”
“If you’ll excuse me for a moment,” he said, stepping away from his brothers. In unison they moved closer to one another, blocking him from view.
He quickly made his way to the parlor and shut the door behind him. He cast a soundproofing spell and called his eldest brother.
Thane answered on the first ring. “You know?” he asked.
“Yes, and I’m fucking pissed I had to find out from Meryn.”
“Forgive me. We have been working around the clock for forty-eight hours.”
“What do we know?”
“We have been trying to reach her since the enforcer bullshit, right before the portals were closed. You know her, she’ll be off grid looking for relics for months, so her not getting back to us right away wasn’t concerning. Three days ago, I invoked our password, and we heard nothing. You know that spell. It’s the one she created that if our chosen word is spoken with our magicbacking it, we will connect to her immediately. We’ve used it before with no issues.” Thane growled.
“You got nothing?” Caiden asked, feeling a sense of dread.
