in any closets. They do have two other natural children though. A girl, Mara, married to Michael O’Neil and they have a couple rug rats running about. She’s a stay-at-home mum, taking after mummy Mags. In addition, hubby Mick is a Solicitor. He works in one of the prestigious London firms.”
“One of ours?” I queried.
“Nope, a mundane one,” Matt replied absently.
“Then there’s the brother. One Sean Patrick Mclearey, he’s part of the CID team for London east and one of the youngest detectives on the force. The bloke started working for the police soon as he was old enough. Excels at everything he does and is extremely devoted to his job. He's known as a hard ass but fair and has a good rapport with his colleagues according to the files.
"No girlfriend or wife that I can see and no public media pages. He does seem to be close to his family by the photos I’ve looked at on relatives’ pages. I think they all coddle Dia and tend to wrap her in cotton wool.” Matt sniggered as he mumbled, “Wonder how they are going to feel having you as a son-in-law?”
I hid a smile as I patted him on the back. “Great work, Matt. It’s more than I hoped for." I went on to ask, “What are Dia’s studies? Do we have anything on her interests?”
“Yeah, hold on… I saw something earlier about research she was doing for Davies.”
Matt stopped reading and fell back in his chair laughing his head off.
“Oh God, you are not going to believe this. She has a specialist degree. It is just too unbelievable to be a coincidence, Alpha. Her studies involve mythical creatures, folklore, and the studies of myth and legend in history. She studies how the stories about us came out and how they pertain to the reality of history. This is great. She is going to love being your mate. You can just be a test subject for her.”
“Yeah real funny, Matt,” I replied. “How does she have a degree? I thought you said she was twenty?”
He ducked his head back down and dove back into his research. Several minutes of clicking went by before he exclaimed. “Ahah, a clever little minx your mate is. She tested out of school at the age of fourteen. Her parents had her privately educated. She took early studies with the help of pulling a few strings to get her into the programs, she’s a post-grad.”
Impressed with my mate, I took a moment to savor the pride of her accomplishments.
“First things first though," I needed to get back on track. "I have to find a way to meet my mate without panicking her and making her think I’m a stalker. You got any bright ideas, Beta?”
“Call Davies and ask for an introduction?” Matt asked earnestly.
“Yes,” I frowned. “Much as I don’t want to have anything to do with the Fae Liaison, I think it might be nice knowing where he plays a part in all this. Get him on the phone and set up an appointment for me, will you?”
“Will do, boss man. Any particular time or just whenever is next available?”
“At his earliest convenience. I do not know how long I can keep my wolf settled. I want to go after her now that we know who and where she is.”
“Yeah, I got it, Alpha. I’ll call right now and see if I can get an appointment with him. I just hope I don’t have to go through all the court shit just to get an interview. Sometimes, it’s easier to have freaking tea with the queen than an official appointment with the Fae Liaison.”
I rubbed the bridge of my nose and closed my eyes for a moment. Patience was going to be in short supply until I had my mate. “Just do what you have to do, Matt, and let me know when and where.” I rubbed the spot between my eyes and looked out the window. “How did the pups handle this morning?” I asked.
“Poorly, Alpha,” Matt growled. It wasn’t often my second lost his temper. “They thought they were going to lie about and recover from their night of debauchery.”
My eyebrow rose when I looked at my second. “Debauchery, did they
