CandyLuv99; The tan you already know him as for Sherise. You'll see. As for Luis and Sienna's cubs, of course. It'll be appreciated.
The song used is one of newest favorites and it was perfect. You Are The Reason by Calum Scott.
Here's chapter fifty-nine, enjoy!
"Mommy!" cried a light brown cub with tear filled dark purple eyes and a dark brown tuff on his head.
Sherise laid on her side with a large gash in her stomach.
"Momma, you got to get up!" the light brown cub sobbed as he tugged on Sherise's ear.
Out of the dusk came Jesús and Kopa. The small cub gasped as he were afraid of the unknown lions.
Kopa approached the cub with a smile, "Hi little guy. We're here to help."
The cub seemed to calm at that as Jesús walked over to Sherise. He put his ear to her chest and sighed in relief but before he could grab her scruff and placing the dying lioness on his back a light grey lion appeared.
"Where do you think you are going,"
Jesús stepped up and snarled. "I don't know who you are but get out of my way."
Drogo chuckled darkly. "The name's Drogo and that is my mate..."
Jesús couldn't believe it and was about to when he saw the bruises on her body. One only made when forced into mating.
"You raped her!" Jesús felt a fire burning through his body as he glared at the light grey lion.
Drogo laughed, humor shinning in his eyes. "Why course. She wouldn't submit.."
That's when Jesús saw red and with a thunderous roar, pounced on the laughing lion.
"I'll kill you, some of a-.. Gahhh!"
Jesús snarled at Drogo with blood dripping from his fresh gash over his left eye.
Drogo growled as he lunged towards Jesús, his claws extended and his fangs showing.
Kopa stood back with Sherise and her cub as his uncle barely dodged the light grey lion's lunge, and made note of how his paws slid in the slippery mud.
Jesús turned and swung his claws at the light grey lion, catching him on his already jagged ear. Before Drogo could retaliate, Jesús was out of reach and crouched low again.
Blood flowed from Drogo's ripped ear down his scarred face. He lunged again, and this time Jesús was not fast enough to get away. His claws caught the reddish-brown lion's tanned chest and they went tumbling backwards.
Drogo swung out a paw and caught Jesús on the side, while the reddish-brown lion raked his claws down Drogo's flank.
Jesús used his strong back legs to flip him over his head. A trick, his sister, Nala taught him when they were cubs.
Drogo hit the ground with a grunt. With a nasty snarl the light grey lion struggled to push his self to his paws in the slick terrain. He rolled onto his white stomach and crouched low, his eyes narrowed in determination.
Jesús could feel the warmth of blood running down his side. Drogo shot forward, catching Jesús off guard, and sunk his teeth into Jesús' shoulder.
Jesús roared in pain and slammed his paw into the side of Drogo's head as hard as he could. Drogo pulled back, dazed from Jesús' blow and the reddish-brown lion took the opportunity, maybe his only shot of winning this.
Jesús jumped forward, catching Drogo's chest under his paws and they went rolling backwards.
Jesús' claws pressed into Drogo's throat, as Jesús pinned the larger lion. Both of their breaths coming out in uneven gasps.
Jesús' shoulder stung like nothing he had ever felt, but he kept his stance firm. Their eyes met and Jesús never took his off Drogo's.
With a roar, Jesús slashed deeply into Drogo's throat, nearly beheading him. But definitely killing him.
After catching his breath, Jesús returned to Sherise's body, where he placed her on his back.before running off.
Kopa grabbed the shaken cub by his.scruff and ran after his uncle.
...
Sherise awoke with a painful moan. She looked around to find she was in a cave but not like the one she was in when her Grandmother Jacqueline's nephew attacked her. She got up with a hiss before walking out towards the sun light. Once she blinked her eyes opened she was amazed at what she saw.
Lions and lionesses were everywhere. As she counted they were more than her cousin's army, and she wasn't finished.
"Glad you're up."
Sherise turned and saw a familiar goldish lioness walking over. Sherise couldn't believe her eyes. Amanda..
"Amanda!"
The two friends embraced, tears falling down their faces.
Amanda gave her friend a affectionate head bump, "How about we take a walk. I'm sure you want to see your son?"
Sherise's purple eyes went wide as she remembered her son. He was a result of her attack but she loved him, "Asier? Where is my son?"
"Follow me.." Amanda smiled before walking off with Sherise following.
~PP~
It's been a few weeks since her rescue and she couldn't be more happier. She and Kopa reconnected and was happy to know her brother was alive.
She wanted to thank Jesús but he always seemed to be around. It immediately brought back those memories of Luis avoiding her.
One afternoon while Asier was with Joshua, Sherise sat at the far side of the new Ndona. Her body rocked at every sob. Tears matted her cheeks and made long streaks where she looks like a cheetah. She never been so broken in all her life. Not even her torture with Keres and Drogo had broken her like now.
Jesús sat on a hill watching the lioness that captured his heart cry. He regret that he was avoiding her after much roaring of not so good words from Kopa and Francisco, he went to talk to Sherise. Which is why he was standing where he was.
With a deep breath, Jesús approached.
"Sherise..."
The dark brown lioness sniffed up some tears before looking to see Jesús. She was glued to Luis but wasn't blind The reddish-brown lion that walked over was handsome... maybe more so than his brother she was so crazy about.
Jesús stopped before he reached and nuzzled her but Sherise quickly pulled away, tears still falling.
"What's wrong with me? Is there something wrong why Luis backed up...?"
Jesús had tears in his own eyes now as he watched the love of his life break. How dare Luis make the most beautiful lioness in the pride feel so low about herself. He don't care if the light cream lion is his brother.
As the reddish-brown lion looked at the dark brown lioness love poured from his dark brown eyes. The sun shined on the dark brown lioness' fur making it a auburn color.
Jesús sighed before looking at the sky as his black mane ruffled up in a slight breeze.
"There goes my heart beating
'Cause you are the reason
I'm losing my sleep
Please come back now
There goes my mind racing
And you are the reason
That I'm still breathing
I'm hopeless now
I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
Oh, 'cause I need you to see
That you are the reason"
Sherise looked up as Jesús stood from sitting and began to walk around the dark brown lioness, singing out his heart.
"My heart keeps bleeding
I need you now
And if I could turn back the clock
I'd make sure the light defeated the dark
I'd spend every hour, of every day
Keeping you safe
And I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
Oh, 'cause I need you to see
That you are the reason"
Jesús walked close to Sherise where his tanned muzzle was close to her ear.
"I don't wanna hide no more
I don't wanna cry no more
Come back I need you to hold me
Be a little closer now
Just a little closer now
Come a little closer
I need you to hold me tonight"
Sherise lowered her head bashfully as the older male made way in front of her singing with his deep smooth voice that would woo any lioness.
"I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
'Cause I need you to see
That you are the reason"
Jesús finished with a smile that actually made Sherise want to melt. But what took the flustered female by surprise is when the reddish-brown lion kissed her. It wasn't like no kiss before.
As Jesús licked her muzzle, her right paw lifted off the ground.
When Jesús pulled away Sherise sighed before slumping to the ground.
"There's more where that came from, sweetheart."
With a wink the reddish-brown lion left. When he was out of sight, Sherise sighed dreamily.

Bright Kingdom
Cerberus paced as he watched his son play with month old son play with his sister. The orange lioness wasn't what he wanted as a heir so he found another lioness to give birth and months later a son was born.
"What's the plan now, Jadis?" Cerberus asked the returning tan lion.
Jadis growled as he slashed a wall. "Kovu didn't kill Simba. He married until the family and Kion is back .."
King-Father Badhi stood and walked over. "Okay.. What are we going to do?"
"I want to exterminate those filthy Pridelanders.. But I have to wait."
Cerberus glance at his light gold son before grinning devilishly at his father and Jadis. "A little patience. I have the perfect plan that will benefit you, Jadis and the Bright Kingdom."
"Huh?"
Jadis and Badhi shared a confused glance before looking back at the goldish king.
