Kona

Poor Kona. As the weeks went on, her mental health was deteriorating more and more. Whether it's from Barbados taunting, and the threats dished out by Sundari. She got into a nasty brawl with Spartina, days before giving birth. Due to her age, she won, but it came with a price. Finding a secluded spot at their big kopje, she gave birth to 4 cubs, with 2 surviving the birth, and the other 2 being stillborn. A male and a female was the resulting product.

Unlike the other females, who were surprisingly overjoyed by the arrival of their own, giving the fact that they're father is the King, Kona wasn't at all thrilled with her litter. Her mentality was breaking, the days and nights she was starved and beaten by Barbados all throughout her heat cycle. She was tortured, tormented, and now, plagued by these cubs. She didn't want anything to do with them. And it was clear to see. Most of her days, Kona just shoves them to one of the nursing females, or abandons them, to take long walks out in the territory, alone.

She couldn't stand them, and would always hiss and snarl whenever they came to greet her. Barely does Kona ever give any maternal effort, thus leaving sisters Bast and Anaka to care for Kona's twins, since they each gave birth to a single cub. Even Jade has taken on the roll of nursing them, alongside her own cub, Giza.

And now, as they were huddled next to Jade, she couldn't help but frown and glare. Those cubs weren't hers and she'd tell herself that. They were Barbados's....sired by the devil himself.
