Published at 3rd of September 2019 01:22:38 PM Chapter 578

The sky began to cloud over as the sun rose into the sky . Tempers were flaring in the little camp just beyond the forest ridge . An angry h.e.l.lcat roared and growled with anger while she berated her men .

"They were sent after children! How could they be dead? Sneaky… they were cat folk! How could they be caught? Sloppy stupid… . " The angry tiger grabbed a candle and hurled it at a tree . The sound it made was an unsatisfying thud . Nothing to write home about despite her anger . With that in mind she grabbed a brush beside it, made of wood and gla.s.s and hurled it at the tree as well .

A deft hand caught it, saving the delicate piece from being destroyed . "I would thank you not to destroy my things, Princess . " He purred running the brush through his long orange strands . The black streaks smoothing into their stripes again . The handle felt natural in his hand, and he slipped it into his bag .

"Where have you been! Our entire plan was ruined by some useless  a.s.sa.s.sins . Wastes of resources, what sort if garbage did you train!!" She screamed at the man kneeling before her . Verone sighed deeply, there was a time he found her explosive energy cute . Now, however it just annoyed him .

"Our plan was ruined though being bested, not incompetence . " Verone corrected her with an exasperated smile . The woman turned to him and glared .

"You watched them fail and did nothing to stop it!" She growled raising a paw like hand to strike him but, in a blur of motion both her arms were over her head, her back pressed hard against the tree . His blue eyes flashed with fiery silver depths .

"I am not one of your peons, you can not strike me as you wish . You may be alpha and leader here but that is only because I have yet to take it from you . If you destroy things that belong to me, or try to strike me again I will not hesitate to dominate you in front of this entire clan . " He growled against her ear . She froze, the overwhelming power of him suddenly aimed at her took her breath away . She couldn't move, she couldn't think for the fear running through her veins . All she could hear was his voice and the beating of her heart beat . "Am I understood, Princess?" He demanded and she nodded . He pushed away from her, leaving her in that position against the tree . Verone looked at the man on his knees and reached down offering him a hand up .

The a.s.sa.s.sin stood, dusting himself off . "I am sorry for my failure… it will not happen again . "

"You can not blame yourself . A Dark Prince intervened, A DemiG.o.d of the Shadows . You can't be held responsible for the lives lost or the plan's failure . " Verone replied turning a seething glance at the woman still standing by the tree .

"Why would he intervene!" Demanded the woman as though it was absurd . He chuckled and shook his head .

"I warned you . You know the codes, no child should answer for the sins of the father . That includes royal children answering for the sins of their people . " He replied coldly . "Now I am going to bathe . Stay out of trouble while I'm gone . " And he sauntered away, no one made a move to stop him but watched him closely as he went .

"Princess, I feel like he… knows . " The a.s.sa.s.sin master offered the words tentatively . There was hesitation in his expression and a sense of concern, deep set in his bones .

"No… I think he suspects something . That d.a.m.n brush . I knew something was wrong with he found it and kept it . " She growled kicking the rock near her feet .

"Go, pacify him . He almost dominated you this time . Let him get it out of his system or he will next time and you will lose control . No one completely loyal to you could best him . " Warned the general behind her . He was a wolf, missing an eye and covered in scars . He looked more like a mangy dog than anything .

"If you could, I wouldn't have needed him so much . " She reminded them before loosening her corset and putting on her best wronged expression . She followed Verone down the path to the water where he swam . His cloths neatly folded on the rocks .
