The Tiger Within

"Kain, you know Kyera as well as I do . There is little to no way she would let a mere guard that close to her . The scent is too intimate . " Konner added circling Clovis who was suddenly under the impression this might be dangerous . Keenan watched his two brothers as they tried to puzzle it out, and Clovis who honestly looked about ready to defend himself from whatever the overprotective pair threw at him .

On one hand, Keenan liked watching the Prince sweat, just a warning in case he ever decided to do brother"s Princess wrong . However, on the other perhaps there should be a limit . "Boys, come now we are all brother"s here . " Keenan offered and then smirked as he saw the light of realization in his younger brother"s eyes .

"Wait, your Kyera"s Mate?" Konner asked and Kendrick turned human beside his brother"s, his black hair and green eyes flecked with gold stood out against his brother"s paler colors . Kendrick"s expression however, was far from welcoming compared to the other two .

"Do we have a niece yet? Maybe a nephew? Have you two even done it yet? Will we get a spirit orb to see the babies? Will you bring them to visit . COME NOW DETAILS DETAILS . " Konner demanded when it finally sunk in . Kain seemed rather curious as well though the look on their eldest brother"s face was filled with helplessness . He could have sworn he taught both of these boys better manners . Apparently not, which was a very sad thought considering the amount of time he spent raising them . Konner seemed to forget his boundaries as well, adding salt to his older brother"s injured pride . The young tiger was nearly nose to nose with Clovis who looked as though he was completely lost in this question a.s.sault .

Kendrick walked pa.s.s, taking a moment to step down sharply and swiftly on Konnor"s tail having the desired effect, though perhaps with a much more annoying side effect of a high pitched squeal . Konnor looked at his brother as though he had been wronged very badly . Kendrick pretended not to notice as he cleaned from under his claws with other claws .

"Well, you have a niece now, my daughter Raina… as far as visiting and such we will have to see how I get home . " Clovis replied honestly uncertain that was even a possibility at the moment . The four brother"s looked at him, but Kendrick seemed to regard him critically .

"Are you sure your fit to be mated to our Sister? Do you know anything about the shadow realm that her power hails from?" Kendrick demanded , catching Clovis a bit off guard . He had expected some sort of ridicule from this but at the same time he was a bit lost .

"Power?" Clovis asked, figuring it was best to be honest, but every fiber in his body decided not to like this brother . Who was he to question their marriage, their sacred union?

"You don"t know… Wow . I almost thought you were more than you seemed . Lets get this boy to the tree give him the nectar and send him home . He will get himself killed here and then we will have to answer to sister . Even if she understands, I don"t want to be the reason she loses her mate, worthy or not . " Kendrick sneered and Kain stepped back, as did Konnor realizing there was something wrong, the two younger looked to Keenan for some sort of direction .

"Now you see here, Kendrick you can"t just say something like that and walk away . If you got a problem with me, then take it up with . . " Before he got a chance to finish that sentence a black force of air slammed into his chest, knocking him to the ground . That shadowy figure held him in place, a pressure over his throat . One motion and he knew that pressure would seal his air way and there would be nothing he could do . He didn"t try to struggle . There was no point and unfortunately he was well aware of that .
