Kiara was growing accustomed to the Lions presence, who came daily without fail, for a while he simply stretched out lazily a few meters in front of her as time
passed he slowly placed himself closer, eventually moving to nuzzle her softy of try and tend to the wound on her shoulder, whenever she objected to this treatment, Scar would remind her she could leave at anytime she pleased, he wasn't stopping her.
But they both knew, with the constant cackling of the hyaenas outside her current den, she wouldn't.
Why hadn't her pride come for yet? Surely they knew she was missing and found scar or the hyaenas scent, but if they had wouldn't they be here by now, maybe Scar was right, a lioness was hardly a proper heir,
On a particularly cold night Kiara listened quietly to the hyenas maddening laughter, which normally preceded Scar's entrance, but this time it didnt.
Kiara shrugged closing her eyes at least she would be alone and free to sleep when she pleased, soon the hyenas laughter had died down and an unsettling silence filled the air on any other day she would be listening to Scar's lulling hum, a strange mix of emotions filled her stomach anxiety and lonesomeness were the most prominent.
Where had Scar gone to? Had they hyenas finally run out of food and...ate him? No! Of course they hadn't, she would have smelled his blood by now, he was probably just sleep in his own den.
But this thought did nothing to ease her nerves, but instead made them worse, so he had simply forgot about her or given up on winning her over?
Her head began to spin, why did she even care? This was the perfect moment for her to make a run for it, warn her pride, reunite with her parents and Kovu...
Kiara didn't move an inch, she couldn't leave it just wouldn't feel right, Scar had fed her, kept the hyenas a safe distance from her, had provided a strange sense of comfort and company and he obviously seemed to love her and Kiara had begun to believe she was starting to return the feeling, which caused her a great deal of distress as she was sure that was borderline betrayal, but still she couldn't let herself leave.
A familiar scent wafted into her den, Kiara's heart slammed against her ribcage, daring to glance up her racing heart almost stopped as she looked into an empty dark entrance.
"Waiting for me dear?"
Spinning towards the voice she was again greeted with nothingness nut his scent had grown stronger, something she found herself craving "Scar please, where are you?"
Kiara waited tensely, straining her ears to hear the almost silent footsteps that mirrored their first encounter "Sca-" she was interrupted by a thick muzzle and the overwhelming scent that she longed for, pulling away her crimson eyes met neon green ones.
"Miss me?" Scar purred rubbing his chin atop her head, Kiara didn't respond, burying her head within his mane she openly accepted any affection he offered.
Scar watched amusedly "I wasn't gone that long dear."
Perhaps, but to Kiara it felt like an eternity and for the life of her she couldn't figure out why, but Kiara didn't care either, the storm in her belly had passed she was at peace.
Suddenly she felt Scar's solacing warmth drawing away from her, looking up at him with fearful eyes, he was leaving her again.
However her fear remained un-prefilled as the lion sat only inches from his former spot staring back at her with a mixture of pride and affection"Relax love, I'm only admiring your beauty."
Kiara nodded vigorously, returning to his chest, breathing heavily.
Scar looked down at her lovingly, he got his retribution along with a new mate and she was everything he had ever wanted but could never have, her mother had been his first choice, beautiful, strong mentally and physically , but that had worked horribly against him, then came Kiara a toned down version of Nala in every aspect, except beauty and Scar had a feeling she wasn't going anywhere.
A/N okay I know you probably thinking what? but im having writers block.
