Hippolyta

Future Queen
Adopted by Queen Titaia and engaged to Vladislad the 4th, future King of the Pride.

Despite losing her soul mate, Vladislad the 4th, during a forced and tragic duel by the previous ruthless Wladislav at the paws of his adopted brother and true comrade, the unusual primal Samil, she kept her distance from him when he became the new king. It wasn't Samil's fault that he had managed to land the blow that broke her heart and ended it all for Vladislad, much to the smug expression of Wladislav. Yet who could have realized that Samil had a grown from the awkward adolescent into the imposing primal felt the overwhelming rage and anger at their former king that he turned it onto Wladislav to destroy him.

It was shocking as he stood over the broken and ruined body, bathed in blood and shaking from the aftershocks of lives lost. Everyone watched in stunned horror....everyone did except for Queen Titaia. She was the only one that calmly went over to Samil and nuzzled his cheek like a mother would soothing her cub and coaxed the brute to come away from Wladislav's body to help give a proper burial for Vlad and to wash away their blood.

Hippolyta kept her distance from Samil...it wasn't that she lost her place to become Queen, it was the fact that she had truly loved Vladislad the 4th and now she was no doubt expected to mate with the newly crowned king but she had refused and he had respectfully kept away.

After a pawful of years, Hippolyta had remained untouched and focused herself along with her best friend Neculai, on hunting. Except when Neculai had begun to have cubs, she felt a pang in her heart at the sight of such beautiful and adorable offspring running about.....

Samil sat alone at the edge of the lake that was the center of their jungle home when she approached and sat next to him to speak. It was a very nice conversation that started her on a path to accept this king and truly stirred her heart to open with some affection.
