Safe Haven - Prologue
A pale tan lioness lay stretched out upon a warm rock, basking in the warm sun. Her mate, the leader of the Noble Hearted pride, lay beside her, lazily watching the rest of the lionesses yawn and sleep peacefully. His two newborn cubs played in a patch of sunlight, playfully nipping and wrestling. As Felidae's watchful gaze scanned his large group of felines, it narrowed as it reached Kharia, the least ranked lioness in his pride. Her belly was swollen with unborn cubs, but no one knew who the father was. As he watched, Kharia raised her head, staring defiantly at him, as if challenging Felidae to guess. Their gazes finally broke apart as he let out a soft growl, narrowing his eyes. Her cubs would only be nuisances to the pride, weaknesses. Only more mouths to feed. They would weaken the whole group, and in the high position they held in the savannah, they couldn't afford to do that... So he had only one choice.
The cubs would have to go.
