Farant
Your blood is my sustenance, your pain is my enjoyment

It was comical, really, tht Akuji had ever thought that he could hide his pups from Farant. The Blood King's reach was far and wide and as made up of an innumerable number of vargs who were loyal to Farant and only Farant. He had his spies, some who remained in the shadows, seeing everything without ever being seen themselves. Other spies were just the reverse - high in society or low in the ranks, but always listening for news and gossip, anything that could give Farant a new foothold in the world. Then there were his enforcers, who fought back anything, or anyone, that Farant wanted, and to them it didn't matter whether their captives came easily or came beaten and battered, covered in blood. Finally, there were his assassins, who were the most dangerous of all of his network. They were mind washed and set to obey without question - his son Akuji had once been one of these assassins, before he had had to be exiled for the murder of another Royal. On that one occasion, Akuji had been soppy, in and of the fact that Akuji had been caught. If he had escaped unseen, he would have been fine. But no... He had stayed at the seen and bathed in his victims' blood, laughing maniacally. His mind finally broken - after that, he had been useless to Farant.
Or so Farant had thought. Then Akuji had gone and mated with a pureblood... Farant had been unable to resist the urge and had sent enforcers to kidnap the little Ariel in the middle of the night. She had recently escaped... But he had allowed it, in order to see where she would go. To follow her.
It was cute that Shae had thought that she could hide the fact of her pregnancy from Farant - even though her pureblood pups were not born yet, he had heard of it. He was still unaware of where she was or who had sired them... All his informant had told him was that they were indeed of the purest blood. It seemed his little trip to Blossom Forest would be more productive than he originally thought. He would be able to collect Ariel and bring her back to him... An evil sneer crossed his facade as he thought about all of the ways that he would punish her - his teeth, his claws, brute force... Perhaps a forced pregnancy or two... He moaned at the thought. If he timed it just right, he would also be able to take back one of Shae's delicious pups back with him - for they would be his true heir. Shae had been the first born but seeing as she was a fae had been unfit to become his heir. Thus the honor had passed to her firstborn. No doubt she would protest, and he would have one more thing to hang over her head...
But the main reason that he was here was to collect his new bride. His last mate had lasted through five pregnancies before dying, her offspring expanding his army in massive numbers. Now it was time for a new one to bear his pups, and Caspian had graciously accepted Farant's offer of marriage for his daughter Katia. Farant had not seen her yet, but had it on good knowledge that she was a beauty... And just coming of pup-bearing age. Farant moaned again, before a deep chuckle tore from his lips. A deep scar ran cross one side of his facade, tearing his muzzle on that side in two. It was the last mark his own father had ever left upon him... And it had been in the throes of death even as Farant had torn out his throat. That tear fluttered slightly as Farant tilted his cranium back, and let loose a call, demanding that his warriors come together to surround him. Some of them had followed him from the packlands, while others had been here for a while, his spies. He needed to know as much as he could before the plague that he was descended upon these lands.
