Blackfeather Woods Blood drying black on your claws (Dark Brotherhood Meeting)

Kadence followed her two 'brothers' into the borders of the woods. It had been a long fight with the creek wolves and her cheek was bleeding heavily, matting her dark fur with crimson. Her sides were bruised and scratched but on her face was a look of triumph. They had beaten those mangy mutts and she was eager to find out what Meldresi planned to do next.

When they reached the alpha's cave the dark assassin stayed behind Bane and dipped her head respectfully to her leader and role model. She waited intently for the dark queen to speak but she couldn't help straining her neck a little to get a glimpse of the little bundles of pup that were tucked away in the darkness.
