The Hidden Royals

Chapter 1 Meeting Timar

Black hair covers a well defined face.

Phone ringing causes him to groan. reaching out fumbling to find the thing. He looks at time 9am only 3 hours of sleep. hitting connect button he says " hello my king " his voice heavy with sleep. The voice of urgency on other end has him sitting up straight. Sleep flees his green eyes." yes sir I'll get right on it Sir".

the line goes dead.

Long legs slides off the bed. He reaches for black pants and his combat boots putting them on.

tying his long hair back with a strip of leather as he shrugs on his green shirt. Looking at the woman next to him he decides to leave her for now.

"Timar" his sister holds out a plate as he enters the kitchen. She smiles at him as he kisses her cheek."thanks Angel your my savior" She rolls her eyes as he sits and opens his laptop. Pulling up maps and areals as he eats. The grim line of his lips and tightness of his shoulders spoke of his stress.

Emails sent to his second and third to meet him in his office in 30 minutes. Once done he looked up at his sisters Carmel eyes watching him. Her own food untouched." What happened?" she ask in a soft voice.

He never lied to her not since their parents passing few years ago. Breathing out to calm down he tells her an edited version of the truth.

Rico enters fallowed by Di into the richly decorative office. They sit across the mahogany desk looking at the man behind it. He was saught after by all the single women and it wasn't hard to see why. At 6'4 muscular yet not bulky, striking green eyes, deep smooth tan skin, and a voice raspy touched with honey. Timar was good looking but his Aura right now had his men wondering if they should be bowing." Sir you needed us" ask Rico trying to get to why they was called. Timar turns his laptop around to show his findings so far. "Our king sister was taken. Her life threatened if each Royal of cat shifters do not go public with what we are." The two men looks at each other than back to one across from them. Few knew he and his baby sister was the Royals of south America. Both was jaguar shifters and their animal forms was beautiful but bigger than a regular non shifting cat. " Do we know who behind the threat " Di asks his voice deep and gravely. Rico wondered same but was flipping threw the files that had been pulled up. Both men had served so they had training. " No but they give us 3 months to meet their demands. Each head family been contacted to help try to find our princess"

After meeting with men he was sitting in his office checking every possibility within his area. This was serious cats remained hidden after wolves came out of hiding. It been nearly 15 years and smaller packs was wiped out and even now they was just starting to get things back on track. Humans hadn't took the news of people turning into big oversized dogs well. Timar chuckles as they hated being called dogs. Looking back he knew they'd panick again if they knew of all the other shifters out there. Not just shifters but other beings that humans thought was nothing but legends and made up stories. He'd do anything for his people.

They was most important thing next to his sister.

Jasmine passed him popcorn after having dragged him into a movie. Timar smiled throwing a piece at her as they watched the movie. She slapped at his hand playful pouting " Brother mean popcorn has butter on it and you trying to ruin my clothes." He laughs as she runs out door giggling after dumping bowl on his head. Getting up he gives chase. Though smaller Jasmin was quicker in human form.He chuckles stepping behind tree to strip and shift. He jumps over onto roof above the porch to wait. His darker golden brown fur helped him blend in. His spots was bold and if you looked close each was thinly ringed with silver. He lays in wait.

After an hour Jasmin returns to house. She glances around watching for her brother. She knew not to put him laying a trap for her pass him. Just as her foot touches the stairs something heavy lands on her.This causes her to fall flat of her back letting out a squeak of surprise. " No fair Timar," she pout trying to push him off. His rough wet tongue licks her face as his gaint paws roll her around. His fur causing her to giggle as it tickled her skin. It wasn't often he played anymore having to much to do. So she cherish her brother playing with her.

A snap of a twig had him raising to his full height.

His head high as he bared his large teeth,

He nooded towards the house had Jasmin up and moving. Just as the door clicked and he heard the bolt slide home Di stepped out. His hands raised " Sorry boss was just doing rounds. I heard little Jaz squeak and came to check" Timar walks behind the tree shifting and redresses. His hair hangs free blowing behind him. He comes out pinching bridge of his nose." Thank you Di. I am glad you are on gaurd I just didn't sent you as you was down wind." Di watched the worry play on his face. He could see it in his bosses eyes that he'd feared someone had been after his sister. At 16 Jaz had yet to shift so she hadn't come into her full ability yet. this made her an easy target. It was why Timar played with her like he had today. So she learned to be alert even if she didn't have the full senses of a shifter yet. " I understand Boss but that was intentional just in case threat was a shifter" Timar nodded to Di who relaxed his tense stance " I know but in not knowing it was you it was better to play it safe." They both walked to door and went in once Timar unlocked it.
