Hello all, this now brings The Missing Princess to an end. I will be correcting the mistakes and inconsistencies over the next few weeks and getting started on book two The Mermaids Tale. Apologies for the delay in getting this one finished, but my health hasn't been great and I didn't have mind set to be writing
A week ago, if you had told me that the world as I knew it was all a lie, that all of the fairy tales that my father used to tell me at bed time were actually not fairy tales and that all these supernatural beings, such as vampires, shapeshifters, fairies and dragons, were actually real, I would have laughed at you until I had peed myself and then called the men in white coats to come and get you. Now, a week later, as I am in the middle of a forest standing by the most beautiful lake I have ever seen, surrounded by wolves in various sizes and colours, and a number of very large, very muscular and very, very naked men, I am starting to think that maybe it is I, who is in need of the straight jacket and padded room and a hell of a lot of medication and sedatives as i am pretty certain i have completely lost the use of all my faculties and you are soon going to find me sat in a corner, rocking back and forth and talking to myself as none of this is making any sense to my primitive brain
Kari's POV"Kari, do you have a moment?" Came the lyrical voice of my boss and best friend. I looked up from my computer screen and looked at her over the top of my glasses. Doctor Chloe Burbridge was a short brunette with chocolate brown eyes and a plump figure, her long, brunette hair was pulled back into a high ponytail, highlighting her freckled face. She was presently leaning against the frame of the door to my office. I smiled at her and motioned for her to come in and sit down. She flounces down onto the chair on the other side of the desk and puts her black Manolo Blahnik pumps on to my nice pristine desk. Her tablet is sitting on her lap. I lean over my desk and push her feet off it. She grins at me. Sadistic Bitch that she is. One thing I have picked up over the years is a slight case of OCD, and Chloe loves to make me itch with it. Secretly, I don't mind it too much, as I know it's her way of pushing me to help me get my mind straight."What do you want, boss?" I asked, lin
Kari's POVMy plane finally landed in Oslo, and I waited for everyone else to stand before I got up and got my laptop bag and lab kit out of the overhead lockers and made my way off. It had been a long morning, and I was already exhausted. I would be glad to get back to where I was staying and get some sleep. I didn't even get a chance to go on my morning run today, so I feel out of sorts from that as well. After collecting my bag and making my way out, I popped into a shop and picked up a couple of bars of my favorite Norwegian chocolate and some of those sour sweets they do, as well as a bottle of water. I paid for the items and then made my way out of the shop and towards the exit area. I stopped and scanned around to see if I could work out who it was I was supposed to be meeting as Ismoothed the black suit skirt I wore with my sweaty hands. My pale lilac dress shirt was no doubt creased at the back, but there was little I could do about that, and my suit jacket and coat were hun
Kari's POV“Pappa?” Were the first words that came out of my mouth when I walked into the house and saw the man stood in front of me. I shook my head, because that was impossible. He didn’t look a day older than the day he left. “I’m sorry. I don’t know where that came from. The man chuckled and held his hand out to me, I took it and shook it.“Doctor Larson, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you.” He said, his voice smooth, he even sounded like what I remembered of my father. “Did I remind you of someone?”“Please call me Kari, and yes, sorry but that would be impossible.” I responded with a wary smile.“Kari, my name is Henrik Pederson. I am the CEO of Nordic Research.” He said. He waved his arm at the pregnant woman stood next to him, “And this is my wife Ingrid.”“It is a pleasure to meet you both, thank you for the chance to work with you, I looked into your company on my way here, you have a good research background.” I responded.“Why don’t you come in, I will make some tea and w
Kari's POVThe two women came into the room and shut the door behind them. They smiled at me. I was still so shocked by everything that was going on that I was numb. My emotions seemed to be none-existent. I really need to call Clo and speak with her."Kari?" Ingrid said lightly they approached the bed, taking me out of my thoughts."Yes, sorry." I said, shaking my head, trying to clear it."This is my mother-in-law, Olivia." Ingrid said with a smile introducing the other woman."It is nice to meet you, but I should really be getting back. I need to get some sleep so I can get this research started and get myself home." I said, trying to stand up, but I became dizzy and ended up sitting on the edge of the bed."You have had one hell of an ordeal, you need to rest, my sweet child." Came the other woman's voice, it was musical tone that soothed and I found myself relaxing. "This must be so confusing for you."They both helped me get back into bed. "I don't understand what was going on.
Kari's POV"I will speak to my father about it." Henrik said to the man. I was intrigued, and i felt Hela perk up in my head as well, but it wasn't my place. "Thank you for bringing it to me."Henrik led me into the elevator and we traveled up to the sixth floor. When the doors opened, he led me into a large sitting room. It was decorated in light airy colors and the windows faced out over the forest. Large white fabric sofas were placed around an open fireplace and a wide screen TV was attached to the wall above it. A chandelier hung from the ceiling in the centre. The room was beautiful. Henrik led me down a couple of steps and sat me down on the settee. It was stunning."This is Gloria, she is one of our Omega's." He said, pointing out a young girl with brunette hair that had streaks of green in it. She smiled sweetly at me and bowed her head. "Gloria, this is my sister Kari. She may not yet be apart of the pack, but she will be afforded the same respect as any of the Alpha family.
Kari's POVI spent the afternoon walking around what I was told was called the packhouse. I was amazed at the number of people who lived here, it was like a hotel. The place was stunning and Henrik wasn't lying, everyone was well looked after. Ingrid introduced me to Heather's nanny, who followed us to try and keep Heather where she was supposed to be. Which wasn't an easy task by any means. I was introduced to the Head omegas, Birget and Soren, who both bared their necks to me when they were told I was the Alpha's long lost sister. That was definitely something I was going to have to get used to. They were both such lovely people and they told Ingrid that I would be treated with the same respect that the rest of the Alpha family were given and if not, the offenders would be reported straight to either the Alpha, the Beta or the head warrior, who i found out was Josiah, who had been trailing behind us the whole time. I was also introduced to Josh, who was the Gamma, and who was prett
Henrik's POV.I had sat there in my office all day, trying to decide what to do. Even Thor wasn't sure what was best to do. I asked Ingrid to discuss packs and the King with Kari so that she was prepared. It would take a few hours for the king to get here, he would come in his private jet. So I knew that I needed to initiate her into the pack first. I would call the King first thing in the morning, which would give him two days to get here before she shifts. Suddenly, my door banged open and my sister walked in, and I noticed that she looked like a mini version of Kari, which made me smile."Ericka!" I said and she glared at me. "I tell you what, I will call you Angelica if you start knocking before barging into my office."She thought for a moment. "Deal." She huffed."What can I do for you?""Can I meet her?" She asked me, kneeling on the chair by my desk."Give it time, Den lille. She has learned she is a wolf and has a big family after 22 years of being on her own. It is a lot for
