CandyLuv99; Yes Cohen is something else. But I'm not mistaken, he left. Only reason I have because he's not mentioned again.
RyanSquad; Kiara was given lessons throughout the chapters before she became pregnant and after. As for the Pridelanders, we'll see.
"...We start at dawn."
Kovu chuckled as he watched Kiara strut into the cave his cousin band him and his brother from. "I look forward to it."
Taka sat with a unreadable expression. "I hope you know that you are playing a dangerous game."
Kovu ignored his brother before heading down to slope he climbed earlier.
"Where are you going?"
But Taka's question was left on deaf ears as the dark brown lion continue down before disappearing into the darkness of the savannah.
Kovu knew what his job was but he had something to do. The reason why he was searching the plains.
Soon his search came to a end. When the source of his search came into view, apporching the waterhole that was in front of the hill he was standing on. With a smug smirk, he walked down.
"Hello beautiful."
The lioness looked up to frowned before narrowing her green eyes. "Kovu..."
Kovu grinned as he stepped a bit closer. "The one and only. So, what is a beautiful thing like yourself doing out here alone?"
"Your flirting needs work. Besides, you do know I'm your aunt, right?"
"Yes. But you're a aunt that I want to fuck." Kovu said boldly. "Come on, Nala. When was the last time you felt intense and wild?"
Nala glared before lowering her head. It's been a while. The last time she felt any type of alive was with Simba when they reunited but after, it seemed rehearsed. Planned, nothing to the imagination.
Kovu seen the wheels turning and smiled in satisfaction. "When I kill your bastard of a mate and become king. I going to need a queen and who else is more suited than you?"
Nala was repulsed by the idea before it finally crashed. She'll have a chance at being queen longer and have her cub on the throne. It seems too easy but to hell with Simba. Nala slowly walked over and licked the younger male across his muzzle.
"I accept."
Kovu grinned, toothy before nipping the tawny lioness before circling her and committed the mating process.
As dawn began to make it's climb, Kovu left Nala from a secluded cave to meet up with Taka. Nala had given him some valuable information, that Simba goes to the waterhole at this time of the morning. And that was what he was going to do.
But as he apporched the kopje he saw Simba heading out. He didn't want to miss his chance and followed him, leaving his waiting brother behind.
Up on priderock, in the main cave one of Kiara's friends, Bareea had awoken feeling relaxed and light. All her lessons with Rafiki and later with the great spirits really changed how she looked at things.
Thinking about Rafiki and her lessons, brought a frown to her pretty face. In her last session, she was told that she had to change Taka's mind. How was she going to do that? She wasn't sure. Until she felt a cool breeze and heard soft whispers.
She knew why Taka and Kovu were here. And what the spirits just told her, gave her a boost in helping Taka see the error of his mother's plan.
With a stretch and a yawn, the goldish-yellow lioness headed out of the cave to see the brownish lion standing near the edge of priderock looking out into the endless spread of grass.
"He's not showing up anytime soon."
Taka jumped before turning around to narrowed his green eyes. "You should mind your own damn business!"
Bareea rolled her brown eyes. Typical. "Your brother left with Kiara. Something about hunting and what not."
Taka tore his eyes from plains before to look at the bit younger lioness with confusion. "How the hell you know that!"
Feeling suddenly bold she smirked. "I have my ways." clearing her throat she made a step closer. "So..I haven't got your name." she knew what it was but it was the most polite way on going about things.
"Taka." he ground out as cold as he could be.
Bareea didn't know why but his coldness...excited her. She suddenly craved for it, shaking her head she moved in stepped as Taka decended down the slope. "My name is Bareea by the way."
Taka stopped short, Bareea just a bit away. He turned sharply causing Bareea to take a step back. "Listen here and good. I'm not here to make friends! I don't need them!"
Bareea was speechless as she watched Taka disappear into endless sea of lush grass. She shouldn't be attracted to such a lion. Knowing what she knows but she couldn't help it.
She was beginning to have feelings for the enemy and that never worked out well for both parties.
...
King Enzo was beyond grateful to the rogue that saved his daughter's innocence. Of course, Kenna wasn't biologically his daughter and she knew that. Since she was found by the twins, Sãhasí and Zya.
Kenna had no memory, aside from her name and that her mother was the one that tossed her in the river. The reason was a bit blurry.
Enzo took her in and raised her as his own. Zya was intended to the young king of the Desert Empire as his mate, Mbuya intended Kenna to the newest king of the Waterfall kingdom.
It wasn't his idea, and knowing his adopted daughter she wasn't go be as accepting as Zya.
He could tell that she has feelings for her savior. Because he's older, more than two seasons older he's struggling with himself. But it's clear he cares for her deeply and that's all he wanted for his children.
"Sire!"
The pale brown lion looked towards the direction of where he was being addressed to see his loyal majordomo, Shiro. He glanced down towards Kenna and Gabriel before focusing on the light brown and cream falcon.
In another part of the Tree of Life, Kion winced as he walked towards the river near the training area. He had never trained so much in his life but sparring cause him to focus and he couldn't afford to let his mind wonder.
The feelings that he felt for Kiara he was feeling them for Raja but they were more...intensified then before. Which was overly confusing since Raja was another male...a very strong, attractive male.
Kion tried to distract himself by spending a lot of time with Kenna, his closest and best friend since Bunga but she rarely was free. Spending time with the lion that saved her, who she was clearly crushing on.
Kion was happy for her. But that leaves him to wonder around by himself, like now. The goldish lion was heading to the river pass some ferns for a quick swim. Kion walked down a grassy path to the crystal clear water to a ledge over the river where he leapt in with a laugh.
But Kion's happiness was short lived. When Kion leapt in the river a large amount of water splashed on the river's bank as well as the large brownish lion standing on the banks getting a drink.
"Gah,"
Kion lifted his head from the water and his eyes widened in horror as he looked at the soaked lion on the banks. The goldish, reddish mane lion exited the river and lowered his head. "I'm truly sorry...Raja."
Raja shook out the water from his mane and fur before looking at the bit younger lion. "Well that's was refreshing." Raja smiled which made Kion flatten his ears bashfully. "But no worries. No harm done, right?"
Kion nodded. Afraid his voice may betrayed him.
Raja raised a eye brow as he looked at the younger male closely. "Don't speak often, do you?"
Which was partly true. Kion rarely spoke to anyone besides Raja's adopted sister. They would occasionally speak like a couple of days ago when the feelings started but that's about it.
Kion cleared his throat before nodding. Kion then went to step back but didn't see a rock and tripped, falling backwards.
"Whoa there," Raja called out as he rushed forward to catch the falling lion.
Raja grabbed Kion by his mane with his teeth and pulled back. The force of the pull sent both males tumbling with Raja landing on the goldish lion. After they stopped tumbling their muzzles connected in a accidental kiss.
Kion's eyes widened in horror as he realized what just happened. Raja on other hand couldn't stop looking into those deep orange eyes that he could drown in.
A bright red blush slowly crept up as the brownish lion realized he was starring. He backed up so Kion could stand.
As soon as Kion was able, he ran off as fast as he could run.
