Spotteddogo; Jesùs is a young adult and Sherise is a teen. Kovu definitely deserves something, as for Sherise and Jesùs. Jesùs was never truly in love, his heart always belonged to the lioness in his dreams.

TMNTTLK lover; I agree about Kovu. He'll get his.

KawaiiCutie12; Completely agree, poor Sherise. Kovu definitely going to get it.

Some of the OCs introduced belongs to Jason Chandler. Enjoy the chapter!

In the Pridelands, things weren't going well. Queen Kiara was livid. But she wasn't the only one.

"I'll kill him!" Vitani growled. "Brother or no brother. I will rip him a new one!"

Kion groaned before standing weakly before walking over to the scowling tannish lioness. The golden yellow lion pulled his mate close and nuzzled her. "Calm down, Vitani. Zawadi is fine. I'm fine."

"But Sherise's out there!" Amanda cried out to be nuzzled lovingly by Zawadi.

"Sherise's strong, she can handle herself." Zawadi tried to reassure his light gold girlfriend.

Jesùs sat in a corner with his head low. He was confused as well as worried. He didn't know why Sherise wanted to leave but at the same time, he wanted to find her and make sure she's safe.

Kiara listened but couldn't find it in her to respond. She lowered her head and cried while Desta hugged her close.

...

Sherise blinked her dark purple eyes open with a moan. She snapped them shut before slowly blinking her eyes open to look around in fear. As the last time she woke up in a unfamiliar area, Kovu, her supposed father forced himself on her.

"Hey," came a soothing female voice. "Nobody's going to hurt you here."

Sherise lifted her head and saw a beautiful but quite largely built dark brown lioness. Her bluish eyes were mesmerizing and command her to listen.

"Where am I?" Sherise managed to choke out. "And who are you?"

"My name's Umoja. I'm next in line to rule Masai." the dark brown lioness bowed. "And who might you be?"

Sherise opened her mouth to respond but couldn't find the right words. So instead, she looked up with her ears pinned against her head. "I don't know,"

...

Hunter had finished his patrol and figured to check on the rescue he found on the river bank in the kingdom. When the dark gold, bronze maned lion reached the cave entrance. He was instantly greeted by a pair of familiar dark purple eyes that widened at the sight of him.

"Calm down. I recently heard what happened from the king and queen of what you been though. You have nothing to worry about." Hunter said calmly.

Sherise pinned her ears but kept her unsure dark purple eyes on the dark gold male.

Hunter took a deep breath and releasing. He couldn't help it, "You look so much like your mother. You have her eyes,"

Sherise's eyes widened as she stared at the dark gold lion in confusion. "I don't understand. You knew my mother? How?"

Hunter closed his black eyes briefly before looking at the young lioness in front of him. "I'm your father."

Sherise couldn't believe what she just heard. "You're my father?"

Hunter nodded. "I was the king of Acude. While my half brother, Khalil ruled Masai. I married your mother, Yennefer. Not very long in our rule, you were born." Hunter took a deep breath before narrowing his eyes as he growled. "But that pigface, tyrant, Valdimir and his sons attacked us. Slaughtered just about everyone. Your mother was able to escape with you but I wasn't so lucky. Your uncle and grandfather had came to my rescue."

Sherise sat in complete silence. Out of all the things to receive, this wasn't one of them.
