After climbing the stone slope, Adela walked in the cave where the the three annoying hyenas told her that Scar would be to see Tamaa walked by with a pleased expression on her face as the dull tan lioness' amber eyes were blown.

Adela ignored it and continue to walk towards the back. When Scar stepped out of the shadows.

"Ah, my dear Adela. You look beautiful as ever."

Scar nuzzled the lioness who pulled away. "What do you want, Scar?"

Scar began to circle the confused creamy beige lioness. "I'm in need of a queen."

Adela didn't move, she looked at her king with questioning dark red eyes. "What do that have to do with me?"

Scar chuckled before stopping in front of his future sister-in-law. "We were in love. I still love you and you still love me. Don't deny it."

Adela's eyes widen as she looked at the brown lion. "But I'm promised to your brother!"

Scar rolled his eyes before growling. "Forget him! Besides you and I both know that your sister or one of the lionesses will look after him."

Adela sighed deeply. She was clearly aware of her sister's feelings for Mufasa. Been like that since cubhood. "I suppose you're right. I'm just sorry I hurt Mufasa."

Scar nuzzled her lovingly. "It'll work out. Just you wait, my love."

Scar gave Adela a lick across the cheek before heading towards the royal platform.

Adela was about to leave when a thought hit her. "Scar why was Tamaa here?"

Scar was lying down and mearly chuckled. "My dear, I had to be prepared if you said no. But don't you worry your sweet head about anything. You are my one and only." then he pat the spot next to him. "Come sleep with me. We will announce to the pride tomorrow morning."

Adela looked towards the direction of the cave entrance before turning and walking over to Scar and lying down besides him.

~O~

When morning came things went differently than the brown pelted king planned.

Scar, wanted to announced to the pride who his queen would be. But a few lionesses was missing.

Before Scar announced that Adela was to be his queen he went over to Shenzi.

"Where's my mother?"

Shenzi bowed. "She and Sarafina are away helping Sarabi. She went into labor early this morning."

Scar growled before walking over to the peak with Adela by his side. When the pride and the hyenas had gathered the dark lion laughed.

"I have a amazing announcement. I have finally found my queen!"

Mufasa had recently came back from the water hole and had joined a orange lioness.

"What's going on, Eshe?" the golden lion asked after seeing the pride and the scavengers gathered.

The orange lioness looked from the king to her golden friend with brown eyes.

Eshe shook her head. "Something about choosing a Queen."

Mufasa frowned before looking up at his brother along with his friend and the rest of the pride.

"My queen is to be Adela!"

Mufasa's amber eyes nearly popped out of his head as he roared. Scar and Adela was nuzzling but stopped to look at the angered lion.

"How could you, Adela! I love you!"

Adela looked at her former lover with sorry eyes. "I'm sorry, Mufasa."

Mufasa roared before turning and running off. Eshe watched the broken hearted lion run before signing deeply.

~O~

Mufasa had been running at a blinding speed. The golden lion didn't know where he was going, he ran until he collapsed. With a sob, Mufasa put a paw over his face and cried.

"Mufasa?"

The golden lion sniffed up some tears before looking towards the direction of the voice. To see a familiar tawny-beige lioness standing a few feet away.

"Sarafina...?"

"Sarabi gave birth out here. But the question is, what are you doing out here?" Sarafina asked with a raised eye brow.

Mufasa sobbed before telling the tawny-beige lioness what happened. "Scar made Adela his queen and she...your cousin,"

"She what?"

Tears began to fall freely. "She accepted without a fight."

Sarafina's eyes widen and before she could say something Uru walked out of a nearby cave.

"Sarafina..." but the former queen stopped when she saw her son. "Mufasa what are you doing here?"

Before Mufasa could tell his mother what happened Sarafina spoke up. "Scar asked my cousin to be his queen and she agreed."

Uru gasped before giving her son a nuzzle who sadly return the nuzzle. "I'm sure Sarabi would like to see you."

Will a small smile the golden lion headed in the cave. The dark beige lioness had just finished bathing a small cream bundle when she looked up and smiled at the sight of her friend. But it faded when she saw the hurt look on Mufasa's face.

"Mufasa, what's wrong?"

Mufasa sat in front of the lioness and sighed. "Your sister agreed to be Scar's queen."

Sarabi's eyes widen before she nuzzled the golden lion. "I'm truly sorry. If that was me I wouldn't of betrayed you."

Mufasa smiled lightly before returning the affection before looking at the cub. "Enough of me. What's this little one's name?"

Sarabi smiled at the cub in her light beige colored paws. "This little one is Nala."

Mufasa smiled at the cub who was so small. "Hi there."

Nala blinked her eyes opened to reveal bright green eyes.

"I see she has her father's eyes." Mufasa smiled down at the creamy infant.

Sarabi nodded before a yawn escaped her muzzle. Mufasa gave her a small nuzzle before taking Nala in his paws.

"Go to sleep. I'm here."

Sarabi smiled lovingly at her friend before lying her head down and closing her beautiful orange eyes.
