00:25hairs between my fingers and brought them to my nose her scent no mistake i tossed the hairs away

00:42ripples spread across the water's surface i waited for jago's face to appear but the reflection wasn't
00:47his mane it was another face round ears green eyes tira she shifted to human form wearing an
00:54eye livery ring on a cord around her neck that's a really comfortable nest she said i tested it for
00:59you where's jango i asked tira smiled she stirred the water with her hand then jango's voice drifted out

09:35you've done way more than help with guests i said
09:41didn't you already test out the bed for me
09:46something flickered deep in tira's eyes satisfaction
09:52but she switched it out fast for a hurt look
09:58i slapped her across the face the whole place went dead silent four bloody scratches appeared on tira's
10:05face she froze for a second then her eyes changed
10:12the three hyena guards behind her all stepped forward at once low rattling growls in their throats
10:21jango panicked
10:22jango panicked he stepped in front of tira no he blocked her
10:31cora are you insane he roared at me
10:37tira finally let the tears fall
10:40she buried her face in jago's chest but her eyes over his shoulder stayed locked on mine there was rage
10:47in
10:47that look and triumph lady brown moved fast she lunged forward and yanked tira out of jago's arms
10:58tira this is a family matter you don't belong here now tira looked at jango he looked away
11:10she looked at me then she smiled she shifted to hyena form mouth splitting all the way to her ears
11:19rows of yellow teeth
11:23she turned and walked away
11:29but jango wasn't done
11:33he shifted to lion and roared happy now you ruined the wedding
11:39no other lion in this world will want you are you trusted world you crazy
11:50i slammed my palm on the table
11:56you're right it's off but today i'm teaching you a lesson
12:04i walked to the stone wall and traced tira's name in the sand
12:09the wall lit up last night's images filled the entire rock face that's a really comfortable nest
12:18i tested it for you where's jago the groom's not bad either tested him for you too and in the
12:27image
12:28jago's voice from deep inside the cave tira come lick my back
12:39the images faded the wall went dark silence mr brown stood up walked to jango
12:47and slapped him across the face jango staggered tears ran down the old man's face
12:56jago i said voice rising from somewhere deep in my chest the one who betrayed this marriage was
13:05you you and the hyena queen in our marriage bed my eyes started blurring
13:14i shook my head shook the tears off jagan's lips trembled nothing came out i didn't look at him
13:21again i only said to jago's parents and the guests i'm sorry for everything that happened today
13:27jago and i are done please forgive my rudeness then i turned and walked away
13:34and in the image jago's voice from deep inside the cave tira come lick my back
13:42the images faded the wall went dark silence
13:49behind the baobab tree i ran into tira leaning against the trunk she hadn't left she'd been waiting
13:57for me so cora's not getting married today where are you off to she asked i didn't answer she kept
14:05going cora a plain ordinary lioness like you should just find some plain ordinary lion jago was never
14:15someone you could reach i couldn't reach him i repeated isn't that the truth cora needs to know her
14:24place i stepped forward and yanked the leather cord off her neck
14:30the ivory ring fell to the ground i carved that ring with my own hands it doesn't belong on you
14:37jago gave that to me tira lunged for it i bent down and used my toe to nudge the ring
14:46into a pile of
14:47fresh dung watching her face i said flatly trash belongs in the trash heap if you want to dig through
14:53shit for food be my guest same goes for jebba
15:01i gave her one last look and walked into the grass you think you've won
15:07tira's voice followed me i didn't look back before dawn the next day jango came back
15:14he stood outside my cave no brothers no feathers alone two enormous black circles under his eyes
15:25the moment i came out he shoved a freshly killed wildebeest towards me cora i brought you something
15:32fresh still warm i looked at him calmly suddenly none of it meant anything
15:42i pushed him he didn't move i tried to go back into the cave he stuck his hand in the
15:49rock crack to
15:49block me cora please it's all my fault i was wrong give me one more chance it was tira who
15:58seduced me
15:59you know i only love you cheating is cheating i said and you have the nerve to blame someone else
16:07my calm unsettled him but you disgust me i said one word at a time jango froze then came the
16:16hot
16:17humiliated explosion he shifted to lion roaring at me then his voice went soft again
16:28i was just led astray for a moment i shook my head after all that what you can't let go
16:36of
16:37is it me or my family's water source jenga's face went white your pride has had it easy all these
16:46years because of our shared water agreement if it weren't for my father taking pity on you
16:53your dried up territory wouldn't survive a single dry season jago what i give i can take back
17:02with interest every word landed like a claw jago's face drained completely his lips trembled nothing
17:13came out i didn't look at him again i turned and walked into the savannah behind me jango's voice came
17:22out shredded like it was claw from the bottom of his throat i didn't look back a few days later
17:32lady brown
17:33found me jago is going to jump off the cliff can you come i looked into her eyes something in
17:44them
17:44made my heart soften i sighed
17:52i went jago stood at the cliff's edge he was in lion form mane blowing back in the wind like
17:59a broken flag
18:00his front paws had already crept over the edge pebbles crumbled beneath him lady brown was sobbing nearby
18:08barely standing mr brown kept sighing pounding his thigh with his fist tira was there too she wasn't
18:15crying she was just watching jango coldly the corner of her mouth curled in something half smile half
18:20something else jago saw me his eyes went red instantly
18:31cora if i jump will you forgive me i didn't answer cora just tell him yes i'm begging you
18:42i'll get on my knees if i have to i steadied her fine i forgive you at that point hate
18:49didn't matter
18:49anymore
18:54that's when tira spoke up you believe her as long as you're alive she will never forgive you you've got
19:02nothing now no water no territory no her
19:09what's the point of living jango's eyes went bloodshot he looked at tira looked at me took
19:16another step toward the edge more pebbles fell jango do you want to know why i cut off the water
19:24jango turned his head it's not just because of you and tira if that were all i'd have broken up
19:31with
19:31you but i wouldn't have cut off your whole pride's survival it's because of tira she sold your pride's
19:39hunting routes to the rogue pride in the north if we kept sharing water my pride would get dragged
19:46into it too sooner or later those rogues would follow the water straight to our territory i was
19:52telling the truth i found out after tira didn't just want to steal jango she wanted to destroy everyone
20:00jango's face went pale in a whole new way was it you tira's face finally changed she opened her mouth
20:07but it was too late the guards jango's family guards mr brown had placed them there had been waiting for
20:13this moment the split second jango got distracted two male lions from the side and pulled him back from
20:19the edge they hit the ground rolling jango struggled for a second then went limp mr brown walked over
20:25crouched down and patted jenga's back once twice didn't say a word jenga lay on the ground staring
20:33at the sky empty eyes i turned to leave tira moved she came from the side fast she'd shifted to
20:42hyena
20:42all four paws digging in cora die i wasn't ready her weight slammed into me i fell backward toward the
20:49cliff at the last second jango launched he hit tira from the side sent her tumbling
20:56i felt the rock sliding under me then a guard grabbed my scuff and hauled me back i was getting
21:04dragged by a lion's teeth but i didn't care about the pain i struggled to turn over
21:12my wrist twisted when i braced myself tira was pinned on the ground still struggling she shifted back to
21:21the human hair wild face paint smeared still screaming let me go i'll kill her that bitch i have
21:28nothing left they dragged her away her voice got smaller and smaller finally swallowed by the wind
21:36i lay on the ground staring at the sky lady brown came over crouched beside me stroked my hair
21:43her hands were shaking cora i'm so sorry i shook my head not her fault
21:54later i found out tira had poisoned jago's water not lethal just herbs that clouded the mind mixed into
22:01fermented monkey bread wine jago drank it for days that's why he was so out of it that's why he
22:08stood
22:08on that cliff for so long tira's plan let jango jump then she'd jump too so they could be together
22:14forever she said this herself during questioning
22:21she said it with a smile i'd also sold my own pride's hunting roots to the rogue northern pride
22:27in exchange for them helping me cut off jaga's water at the start of dry season push jaga's pride
22:35into panic
22:38make jaga depend on my more what she didn't expect was that those same roots would expose my family's
22:46water source her hyena pack abandoned her
22:53her little sister took her place she was exiled alone no pack no allies
23:01on the savannah that's worse than death his pride splintered some followed his brother north the
23:07rest scattered across the savannah but the water was gone the territory was gone the allies were gone
23:13he stayed alone in that dried up territory wasted away to nothing i never saw him again
23:20i found a capable deputy to handle the pride's daily affairs
23:25the son of my father's old lieutenant someone who'd watched me grow up trustworthy
23:33i went to the great lake in the east
23:37three days of travel through an acacia forest across an open meadow over a dry riverbed
23:48the dry season river was nothing but white sand and scattered stones under my paws
23:58when i got to the lake
24:00the water was blue bright glittering like a gem
24:08trees along the shore the smell of acacia blossoms
24:14fish in the water every evening the sun set and turned the whole lake orange
24:19and the wind came off the water damp sweet
24:27and there were a lot of handsome lions one evening i was drinking at the water's edge
24:34lion form front legs in the shallows head down tongue curling cold water
24:41across the lake there was another lion his mane was black as night
24:46with purple glints in the setting sun he didn't come close didn't make a sound
24:54he just looked at me once then lowered his head and started drinking too
25:00we drank on opposite sides of the whole lake
25:05when he finished he shifted to human form
25:09berkey was gel mosesten's file and sat on a rock across the water
25:15a young man skin deep brown from the sun broad shoulders black hair curly falling over his shoulders
25:25his eyes were amber bright as two lamps in the sunset he looked at me i looked at him
25:37i shifted to human form and smoothed my hair
25:41we didn't speak but neither of us left first that night when the moon came up i heard a low
25:49lion's
25:50roar from the other side of the lake i lay down at the water's edge
25:56i didn't roar back but i didn't leave either
26:00i didn't roar back but i didn't leave either
26:00i didn't roar back but i didn't leave either
26:00i didn't roar back but i didn't leave either
