Chapter 7- An Alpha Male's Right

As everyone was in the mist of developing bonds with fellow Outlanders, and Kovu and Kiara were happily married and Kiara was heavily pregnant, Jabvah thought about his Alpha Male right.

Wait, he was 20 months, wasn't he? An Alpha Male was of 20 months.

His eyes widened and he gasped.

He would finally get the right to mate with Kamal. He was going to make children with Kamal! But he was going to make children with Kamal.

He was suddenly sweaty and nervous. Like most lions of his age in his generation, he had never done that before.

But on the plus side, she probably hadn't either. Both had been in an official relationship since Kamal was barely an adolescent, and Kamal was born at a time where there were no hyenas remotely her age.

Now, some female hyenas were pregnant or had recently been, so hopefully, their little hyena/lions would have someone to play with. He didn't even know what to call his cross-litter kids. But he and Kamal would figure it out.

Early one morning, very late in Simba's reign, almost time for Kiara to take the throne, Jabvah sneaked off excitedly.

This was the day arranged for the private meeting between the elder Alphas Shenzi and Banzai, and him and Kamal, to arrange and bless their mateship as ancestors.

They could try to have children anytime, preferably as soon as possible.

As the sun pushed past the sky, Jabvah met with Kamal. "Jabvah!"

She nuzzled him passionately with friction. "Hey Kamal." He licked her cheek tenderly. "Just so you know, I really want to try…" Her eyelashes fluttered.

"For what?" Jabvah teased with a knowing smirk. "For children." She teased back, and they were seconds away from kissing, before Shenzi and Banzai interrupted them.

"Hello, Jabvah and Kamal, now is time for your mateship arrangement. Banzai, come stand on Jabvah's side. Kamal, on my side please." They rearranged to Shenzi's arrangements.

"Now, what we are going to do is, Jabvah, take Kamal's right hand." Banzai continued.

"Now, do you promise to care and love for each other like any good mates, in sickness and in health, in love and in death?" Shenzi asked. "I do." Kamal accepted first, being the one of Alpha blood like her mother. Jabvah followed. "I do." Banzai continued on.

"Do you promise to lead the clan responsibly and truthfully, with honour and guts?"

Jabvah and Kamal smiled at each other, and accepted with two more I dos.

"We give you your honourable blessing. You may create a new generation as you wish, in the privacy of the special birth cave, at Scar's Old Home." Shenzi told them.

They blushed and didn't say anything, but waved the now retired Alphas off.

"So where's the place?" asked Jabvah.

"I'll show you." They turned right to a birthing cave on the right of Scar's Old Home.

It was used when Kamal was born.

"So um…I won't be here again for a week, because I already visited earlier…do you want to try now?" Jabvah said shyly, blushing. "I thought you'd never ask." Kamal fluttered her eye lashes and kissed Jabvah. They stepped into the cave to try for a new alpha or alphas.**
