I sat back as I looked over all the information I had on Li'li. It was the most damning evidence that I could have ever seen. I had already let OldOne know what was going on.

Given what he had learned about on Dar'kes ship from some spies. It was going to be a chit show when they chose to strike. I had a counter attack in place, it would prevent a civil war. Mind you the amount of resources an planning on this scale was...exhausting.

Li'li was treating me like an Old fool who knew nothing. She was getting cocky an slipping up, not guarding her transmissions. An openly criticizing me to anyone that would listen to her.

However there was good that came from her undermining my authority. It Only helped to bring out the dishonorable ones that would rather strike from the shadows then openly to my face. This cleansing would be over many planets, star systems, and galaxies.

OldOne said to start spreading a rumor that 'Mar'cte' is alive an will bring swift death on all that oppose the Emperor. That would gain a lot of support for my position. However he retired an technically dead for a reason. I rather him be happy then return to this political chit show. He would be hounded with challenges...it would be exhausting for him.

Even if he was back to full health like back in our old days. He is still out of practice with his orginal training. We had been trained by the true legends.

Those first Yautja that had freed us from the hish slavery, an torments. I don't have many if any clear memories of that time. However the struggle an pain of that time would be etched into our bones an our very souls!...Forever.

I need to send Poppy back home earlier then expected. I did not want to expose my grandpup to royal violence. Some horrors should only be seen when your an adult if they have to see it at all.

I would send her off with some of my trusted mates. Those that I would keep alive. It was going to be unfortunate what was going to happen. However there was no other way...

When I opened the door to our room I saw Hopper was sitting on the edge of the bed. He ended up coming back early from the hunt cause he got mad an was causing issues for others on the hunt. Chris let me know that she would look after the pups. She said if we needed anything to let her know.

Hopper was holding his head in his hands. Given the state Hopper was in he was really messed up right now. I still felt safe to be there with him. I saw that his long dreadlocks had been chopped down to short nubbies.

"Ceillia...I really messed up today." Hopper said to me in a very sorrowful tone. He looks up at me an although he had been healed. He looked to have taken a really bad beating.

I come up to Hopper an I stand in front of him an I hug his head to my chest. I feel his arms snake around my wide waist an hips, and he just sobbed. From the bits an peices I could gather from his mutterings inbetween his sobs was that.

He hurt Lu'Nye pretty badly, that he was a dishonorable mate, that he didn't deserve me, that he didn't want to be controlling of me, an how helpless he truly felt.

I held onto Hopper an soothed him. Rubbing his neck an head crest. Cooing at him to calm down. Letting him know I love him an all his faults regardless of what happens. An mistakes were made but if everyone was healed there wasn't any issues...

Hopper sobbed so much he passed out in my arms. I gently laid his hulking frame onto the bed and curled up bedsides him. Rubbing his chest over his hearts area. I felt tears in my own eyes as my heart broke for my love.

To see him in this much pain an stress was almost to much. For better or for worse I was going to stick beside my beloveded mate...
