Lyra

Lyra wandered into the two-lion pride one day. She was strong and seasoned, having obviously had more life experience than Scarsong could hope to muster. He warmed to her, feeling almost protective of this lioness who seemed extremely wise and gentle in her strength.
Lyra's encounter with the other lioness, however, was less than pleasant. Moonlit, still jealous and trying her utmost to gain Scarsong's attention in her headstrong youth, would growl and snarl at Lyra constantly after begrudgingly accepting her into the pride, following Scarsongs leadership.

As such, Lyra could not leave her two cubs she bought into the pride alone. Scarsong was taken back by the bluntness and matter-of-fact manner in which Lyra introduced the cubs. They appeared one day as if out of no where, but she was not pregnant when she met them. She must have hidden them away until Moonlit had calmed down enough to pose no threat.
Lyra protected the cubs, and, much to the horror of Moonlit, Scarsong did not make any move to destroy them, as he had seen lions do when confronted with cubs not of their own. Instead, he allowed Lyra to keep them in silent respect for her strength and motherhood. Having no interest in her as a permanent mate, he allowed her legacy to live in his growing pride.
