Husband: Hazardousmutt
Clear day is grateful for Evening shadow and rising sun, she feels guilty for originally being an affair partner for Hazardousmutt and spends her days caring for his other wives as an apology for her sin, but even after giving birth to a bastard child, Rising sun still treats her like a saint, loving her whole and treating her with respect.

Rising sun watch as the small ball of wet pale white fur wriggled between clear days front paws, while her mother sobbed between sentences, hanging her head over her once cub with despair.
"I'm sorry sun- I'm so sorry" she sobbed, her tears falling onto her cubs face as it yowled and cried "If i had known- If i had known he was yours i would- I would of never of done it please- I'm so sorry" Clear day finally lifted her head, her eyes meeting the Queens sunflower yellow gaze, But the queen did not answer, she only stared at the newborn cub curled into her friends chest, her eyes unreadable as she stood silently, and stared.
It was only when Clear day hung her head and choked back another sob did Rising sun start to speak, "Move, Clear day, she needs to be cleaned".
Clear day lifted her head back up in confusion, watching the Golden Queen move beside her and rest her body against hers, her head bent down to groom the squealing cub as the two lionnesses laid together in silence.
"I'm sorry-" "Don't."
Rising sun snapped back, stopping her grooming to stare the white lionness in the eyes, "Don't you apologise for what he chose to do".
Clear day flinched back, her ears perked up high as she stared at the queen, mouth agape. She didn't expect this, never this.
"I should of known, you two were always together and I still-" Clear day tried to explain, but a warning growl from the Queen beside her cut her off
"You were in heat. He was marrying me and like the fool he is, he chose to act on his desires" she began, motioning towards the white cub while she spoke, clear day paused before leaning down between her arms to groom her cub, ears perked towards her friend to listen to her growl as she spoke
"I knew who he was before I married him, yet I still chose to do so. You are not to blame for his infidelity, you are not the first. There were lionnesses before you, and even lions before that. He is king, he should know better but he does NOT." She growled, panting softly as she tried to calm her nerves, taking a deep breath in before continuing. "He is to blame for this not you, do not let him ruin your life."
The newborn cub had turned quite, clear day had finished grooming her and now looked at her friend with a newfound sadness.
"I don't know what to do, I don't know what will happen" She whimpered. Rising sun closed her eyes and stood in silence, before turning back to clear day and resting her muzzle against hers "He will marry you to protect his own Pride, but you will not be his, I will make sure of that. I will not let you turn into nothing but a Kings wife"
Clear day nuzzled back into Rising sun, thankful for her support in this time, "She is your daughter Clear day, she will be strong just like you, and she will be loved by her mothers and her siblings, she will never be alone" the two finally pulled away, staring into each others eyes longingly, before rising sun tore her gaze away and began to stand "I will inform the king, but before that she needs a name"
A name. Clear day never thought of naming this cub, she stared down at her, now with a loving gaze, knowing she'll be raised surrounded love instead of shame.
"Storm, She will be known as Storm."
