The Unknown

Chapter 11

I own nothing but the plot.

In Volterra

Caius sat in his chamber he knew how the laws worked. What he was having problems coming to grips with was that not only did he have a biological child but she was mated to a shape shifter that she her-self carried the gene. He knew from her thoughts that their mating was a lot like vampire mating that now that they had marked each-other one couldn't live with-out the other. He also knew that his brothers would welcome her into the family but he also knew some of the guard would hold animosity toward the princess since she was half human they would see her as below them especially Aro's pet Jane who despite only being a guard likes to think of her-self as some-type of royalty her-self. Caius was knocked out of his musing when Aro and Marcus entered the room.

"Brother, Marcus tells me he noticed a new bond show threw shortly after you seemed startled during court. Would you happen to know what this peculiar bond is?" Caius wanted to roll his eyes at Aro's once again need to be nosy he swore his brothers gossiped more than anyone he had ever met.

"Why yes brother I do know of this bond since it is from me."

"Let's hurry things along shall we, what Aro wants to know is why all of a sudden you have a familial bond and he can no longer read your thoughts?" Caius was all set to fuck with Aro some more but he couldn't deny Marcus' request for answers.

"My daughter is a shield and able to protect anyone as long as she knows them and since she is my daughter she thought it prudent to cover me. She also can communicate telepathically as long as their under her mental shield. I am rather proud of her she has full control over it and she is only 17 a true natural if I do say so my-self." Caius smiled proudly after finally being able to brag about his child like a true father.

"What do you mean daughter, and I wasn't aware such a gift was in the castle let alone that you had formed such a bond with any of the new guards." Aro had read every-one in the castle and couldn't recall such a gift or his brother having such a bond before yesterday.

"She is not in the castle, hell she isn't even in the country. As for her being my daughter, I meant it in the literal sense. I met her mother 18 years ago she was brought in during a tour and given to me as a meal but I was still full from the last feed. I had been curious about my control and what the inside of a human felt like so I took her to my library under the guise of giving her private tour but needing to change my shirt first, once I removed my robe and shirt I smelt her arousal and she was all over me. The things that human could do with mouth would put the entire succubus species to shame and having my dick in her hot heat I would have gladly died then and there. 8 years later Peter Whitlock came and told me of a child he met in Forks, Washington. He claimed his gift told him to be there and when he and his mate arrived the child was feeding from a man who tried to abduct her. He told me once he explained to the parents they decided the child would have 2 blood bags a week then the mother told the Whitlock's about our meeting. His gift told him that had he divulged every-thing about the child things would turn out bad for all involved. I just learned yesterday what he meant."

"Well come on brother you can't stop a story at that." Caius smiled at Aro's child-like demeanor.

"The woman was Native American. She came from a tribe that could shape-shift. She her-self was the daughter of the former Alpha, but she didn't believe the legends of the tribe. According to Isabella that's my daughter any-way when Isabella learned what she was she knew the legends were true. Isa was adopted into the Whitlock coven the Major him-self taught her how to fight it's my understanding that their sparing usually ends in a draw. The Major is a mated to a member of the Olympic coven who have a treaty with the tribe Renee, Isa's mother is from so when Isa learned that the Major and the rest of the Olympic coven would be returning when they finished high school and college again Isa decided to inform her cousins of what she was since her family came from a shifter blood line. Isa was already family or friend to the men who would shift this generation so when the men started to get sick and the elders of the tribe showed no sign of helping the eldest of Isa's friends went to her for help. She successfully helped the Alpha phase then promptly mated with him, yes Marcus before you ask they are fully bonded, they then gathered the rest of the pack and helped them phase. Isa as Renee's child if she had been a boy would be chief of the tribe but from my understanding since she is mated with a man from her tribe her mate is now Alpha and Chief. As my biological daughter and so far only child of a king she is the Volturi Princess. Since Isabella's mate is a ruling member of the shape shifters and Isabella herself is of our kind, through her is an automatic alliance. Had I known her before I would have made her move here and she wouldn't have known her shifters before so they would have only seen her as a vampire not as the woman they care about now, and her mate would have followed their elders order if when they eventually met. They would have essentially destroyed them-selves. That's assuming one of the guards didn't get jealous of her as child and killed her since she wouldn't have the training she has now being trained by the Major."

"Why contact you now, why not before, is she in danger?" Caius smiled at Marcus' concern he knew they would be excited about their Niece.

"She and her friends are getting ready to head off a coven of nomads that is feeding are their town, but these nomads have been killing indiscriminately and not bothering to clean up their kills, it's already attracted our attention and Isa understands our laws she just wanted to keep me informed so the guards don't accidently attack them. She has the Whitlock coven helping and training the shifters since you know what a pacifist Carlisle is. They have Intel stating that one of the nomads is gifted with the power preservation she is essentially an escape artist. Isa doesn't think there will be a problem on her end but wished to inform me that any vampire other than us 3 who attacked them would automatically forfeit their life, so I would advise you talk to Jane I would hate for you to lose your pet."

"Yes, I will call the guard right away and tell them we have friends in the area, and to leave them as they are." Aro rushed out of the room with Marcus trailing behind.

Caius was once again lost in thoughts; he decided that once the latest problems were solved that he would pay Washington a visit.
