Queen Ashen

A young and mysterious male caught my attention. He was hiding in the bushes, and looked to be stalking King Alex l, but never made a move. He just seemed to be watching and listening, but his intentions were unclear. His eyes met mine, and I was unsure if he was evil or good, but damn was he a handsome guy. He motioned me over and said to meet him later by a tree a good distance away from the pride. I knew I wasn't supposed to leave the safety of the pride, but nobody cared anymore. The entire pride did what they wanted, and many members were leaving because the current King was too old to rule any longer, but he had no male Heir to the throne.
As I walked to the tree I couldn't help but feel anxious, who was this male, and what did he want with her. She got to the tree and laid silently, when suddenly from the shadows came this muscular, and very handsome young lion. It was the mysterious male from earlier. In the moonlight he was even more handsome then she had thought earlier. But he also seemed to have an evil, cold, and harsh demeanor to him. Ashen wasn't sure if it made her scared, or if it turned her on.
The male waste no time on telling Ashen his exact intentions. He was going to kill King Alex l that night and take over the pride. Ashen was in complete shock, but she knew if she disobeyed his orders she would surely be killed by this very same male. Instead she stood quietly and looked at the ground awaiting his next instructions. Why had he singled her out, why had he even told her his plans, these were all the questions running through her mind.
Finally the male spoke, had she heard him correctly?, He had asked her to be his queen. Queen? she had been one of the lowest ranking members of the pride and also one of the youngest. She wasn't even old enough to bare his cubs. Never mind that, it didn't seem as if she even had a choice in the matter. She obeyed and was told to head back to the pride and act like she knew nothing.
Later that night a few hours after King Alex l had left on his nightly patrol she awoke to a god awful screech. All the lionesses sprang from their slumber and were all very worried and scared. Ashen was also worried, but she knew exactly what the noise was. She new the mysterious male had done as he intended. There was rustling in the bushes, and slowly the mysterious male exited, he was covered in the Kings blood and his nostrils flared from the fight that just took place. All the lionesses roared and the one lone male that had remained in the pride began to get into fighting position. The mysterious male finally spoke. His words were cold, harsh, firm, but yet extremely handsome. he told the pride there was no use in attacking him, their king was dead and they had no other male worthy enough to run their pride. this made the subordinate male huff and walk away mumbling something under his breath.
The lionesses knew this new male was correct and had no choice then to bow down to him. He looked over to Ashen and told her to come forward. All the other lionesses whispered and glared at her as she walked by. When she reached the front she bowed her head in front of the new male. The male looked over his new pride, all bowing down to him. finally he spoke, My name is King Smokey and I am your new leader. Then looking at me he said, this shall be my Queen and you shall call her Queen Ashen. He then gave orders to the pride to go back to sleep and meet back at the center of the pride first thing in the morning. Little did the pride know, many changes were coming their way.
