The Hidden Royals

Chapter 7 Spies.

"I want to know how many and just how much a threat this group are. I don't want excuses I want damn results. Are you all not Royals and command large groups of shifters" The conference call went blank. The king was annoyed with lack of news. The longer his sister was missing the more grumpy he became. "If he wasn't the king I'd deck him. A wrong move could cost him his sister. Doesn't he think we are doing all we can." Timar growls throwing the webcam. At times he wanted to hang up the politics and formal way things had to be during these meetings. Rue was a long time friend. The big tiger has been just a cub when they met. they had faught played and caused trouble when together. Yet he had to watch every word during meetings as Rue was their king. "Like you he just needs to find his mate. I swear your both loss..." Da trails off at Timars growl. He runs back of his neck. He wouldn't apologize for what he thought was truth. Wolves went mad if they couldn't find or lost there mates. Bares would tear the world apart if needed to find keep and protect their mates. Cats grew moody and snarly until they met theirs. Then once they did you best say your prayers if you even thought to hurt their mates. For your end would be soon.

Rosa was out with several of the higher up families daughters. They all was fawning over her. Since her shopping spree many had started calling her the royal or the princess. Many would not admit it but wish to be in her shoes. "Princess how is it never worrying about anything and being pampered day in and day out?" asked a dark haired girl who Rosa couldn't be bothered to remember name. She smiled waving her freshly done nails. "Oh you know it just tiring never a moment to yourself" Everyone giggled at the obvious joke. Yet unknown was the small group of men who been switching up as they was fallowed. If they could see the sneers and discussed faces of those men who eyes showed hatred they would probably all run home in tears. These men was like ghost. If you looked towards them they vanished. They left no sent and could move in and out of just about anywhere.

The castle of Rue wasn't even immune to this. This group captured and turned shifters against them. Two worked in the castle of the king of the cats. They had grew up without parents and depended on others kindness. The group had found them and took them in feeding them hate of their own kind. So they didn't feel bad at all for the trouble they was causing. One of these was Eli a young caracal. At 20 many thought she was beautiful and many admired her. Even the king had commented one day she'd make some male happy. Yet instead of taking pride in this or feeling proud that her kind thought highly of a mere maid she resented them. Even with the spacious room and bath provided for each of the workers. Though they was paid nicely and could afford nice things. Even though they was given bounces and their medical paid as well as once a year the king paid for each a week vacation to wherever they wanted to go. Yet this just made her hatred grow. Where had all these things been when she was sharing a room with five other girls. All of whom could have used more food and better care. The orphanage was grand and sparkled yet those in it had been miserable. They had all wished for something better. Yet on kings visit they all had a big meal and got nice clothes and have been treated great until he left. Maybe that had been the start of her hatred. That only time they had been worth anything was if the king had paid a visit. Yet Eli didn't know that apone taking over Rue had went threw every public place and investigated them. The money that had been for the orphans or programs for the youth and other things as such now went where it belonged. He had personally fired and demanded their lavish cars and houses sold and them live on what they got out of it as compensation for their crimes.

Yet in north America in the Lynx compound was another worker. The lynx was the Royal family of this area. They often mingled and cooked out with their staff. They celebrate birthdays together and thought they had a close bond with each. It wasn't uncommon that sometimes they'd be snowed in. So the compound was large. Each worker had an apartment that was suited for them. If single it was a loft type appointment. If merried they had at least 2 bedroom apartment for when they did have a cub. But even here was a shifter who worked for the organization who wanted to destroy the cats and all shifters in general.

Je was a young male who worked as a groom for the stables where the horses was kept. It was not a hard job nor was it taxing. Often the Twin brothers would come out and even help. As they didn't only admire the animals but Je and often they would sneak out at night and hide things for the young man. There father had joked that the twins had adopted him as a brother. If only they was aware that danger lurked closer than they knew.
