Thanks for the amazing reviews.

Onto the next chapter, enjoy.

It was a bit before dawn when Kiara awoke. Call it a habit, she used to wake up early and watch the sunrise on the summit of Priderock. Fresh tears began to fall, falling down her cheek, mixing with the leaves and flowers that Tojo put on to heal the wound on her cheek. Kiara closed her eyes as the wound begin to sting.

After taking deep calming breaths, the golden orange lioness stood before heading to the hill she found the day before, to watch the sunrise. Kiara quietly walked passed the four sleeping males that are apparently her new pride members.

She has no problem with Naferi, he funny, like his dad. He's respectful of her privacy, and he's not sore on the eyes either.

Bad, Kiara!

Kiara mentally scold herself as she shook her head. She has no time to be thinking about males like that, not until she figure out what she's going to do with the monsters inside her.

The exiled princess took deep breaths before moving her thoughts to Naferi's father, Malka. The pale orange lion was a jokester. Making her laugh and forget about the mess she's in. If only for a little while. But Kiara can see where Naferi is such a gentlelion from.

Then there's the devil's son. Dimitri. The tawny lion had stayed away but for how long? It's going to come out, after all he's his father's son. Children tend to follow in their parents footprints.

Look at her father and her Aunt Zira. Her Grandfather Mufasa, was a sexist king, that destroyed her Grandmother Sarabi's trust and broken her heart.

As for Zira, her Great-uncle Scar killed his own brother for the throne. Zira avenging her father, killed Kiara's parents first son, Kopa.

No telling what this Dimitri would do if he has got a chance.

The sun was beginning to rise from beyond the horizon and Kiara's brown eyes was glued to the majestic sight. When the sun was began to spread her golden rays across the land is when Kiara's ears perked at the sound of heavy breathing. Kiara slowly turned around to come face to face with a russet maned, tannish lion. His pale yellow eyes looking straight through her.

"I didn't know this would be so easy." the tannish lion purred.

"Dhampir!"

The tannish lion growled before looking back to see the assassin group's leader, Flame. "What is it, Flame? Don't you see I have her!"

Kiara saw a large reddish, dark red mane lion walking over. She gulped as she instantly realize that her aunt has been tipped off. And that Zira sent these assassins to kill her. With a deep breath, Kiara looked up at the large lions.

"Zira won't get her revenge by killing me."

Dhampir growled, "You think you can try to talk us out of killing you!"

Kiara shook her head. "No. I want you to kill me. Make it quick."

Dhampir smiled before crouching low. "As you wish!"

Before Dhampir pounced, Flame held out a paw before moving his dark yellow eyes to the target. "What's the catch?"

"Nothing. I am currently pregnant with my attacker's cub. I don't want to give birth to them, so please end my suffering."

Kiara looked up with her eyes closed and ears back. Ready to die.

Dhampir growled before pouncing, knocking the golden orange lioness to the ground. "Do you think your sob story would work!"

"Yes, you're just heartless!" came familiar male voice followed by a roar before a large paw connected with the tannish lion's face.

The forced of the roar sent Dhampir on his back, a few feet away. Kiara sat up to see Dimitri standing, protectively in front of her.

Flame lunged towards Dimitri, his claws extended and his fangs showing. Kiara watched as Dimitri barely dodged the reddish lion's lunge, and made note of how his paws slid in the slippery mud.

It must of rained the night before, Kiara noted. As she and the others had fallen asleep under a thick cluster of trees. The treetops prevented the rain from falling on them.

Dimitri turned and swung his claws at the reddish lion, catching him on his already jagged ear. Before he could retaliate, Dimitri was out of reach and crouched low again.

Blood flowed from Flame's ripped ear down his scarred face. He lunged again, and this time Dimitri was not fast enough to get away. His claws caught the tawny lion's chest and they went tumbling backwards. Flame swung out a paw and caught Dimitri on the side, while the tawny lion raked his claws down Flame's flank.

Dimitri used his strong back legs to flip him over his head.

Flame hit the ground with a grunt of reddish lion struggled to push his self to his paws in the slick terrain. He rolled onto his stomach and crouched low, his eyes narrowed in determination.

Dimitri could feel the warmth of blood running down his side. Flame shot forward, catching Dimitri off guard, and sunk his teeth into Dimitri's shoulder.

Dimitri roared in pain and slammed his paw into the side of Flame's head as hard as he could. Flame pulled back, dazed from Dimitri's blow and Dimitri took the opportunity, maybe his only shot of winning this.

Dimitri jumped forward, catching Flame's chest under his paws and they went rolling backwards.

Dimitri's claws pressed into his throat, as Dimitri pinned the larger lion. Both of their breaths coming out in uneven gasps. Dimitri's shoulder stung like nothing he had even felt, but he kept my stance firm. Their eyes met and Dimitri didn't take his off Flame's.

"Gather your party and get out!" Dimitri snarled deadly.

The lions growled before roaring and then running off. Dimitri snorted and went to move to collapse on his side.

...

In the Pridelands Simba wasn't happy. His mother had gone off after that damn whore daughter of his his. When he needs her to be here when Nala gives birth.

The golden lion was brought out of his eerie thoughts by soft body pressed against his. Simba turned to see Cana smiling seductively up at him with gorgeous greenish-blue eyes.

"Perhaps...I could ease some of your tension, my king." the whitish-beige lioness purred. "Since the queen isn't in a position to please you."

Simba grinned before leading Cana down the slope. This was part of the agreement Nala made. To bypass him mating with the lionesses, for her to keep her place as queen.

It was a bit past afternoon when Simba left Cana at his private cave, where he mates with the lionesses. The golden lion was currently going to meet the Lion Guard for their morning report when Zazu flew down and landed on a nearby rock.

"Ser, I came with extremely important news." the blue hornbill informed.

Simba rolled his orange eyes before glaring at his majordomo. "Get on with it."

Zazu dipped his head. "Of course, sire. The king and prince of Ravenfall is here."

Simba's face paled. He had no idea what he's doing to do until he remembered the teenage lioness that Kion rescued last week. "Zazu, inform Hera that I wish to meet with her at the waterhole."

"Of course, ser. At once," Zazu bowed before taking flight.

Simba didn't bother to watch the hornbill fly away. Instead he headed to the western border, where he knew his guests will be.
