Asya stared at this lion who was her mate, yet not. An ear flickered.
You do understand that I don't love you... right, Aricin?
The dark red brown lion stared at her and nodded knowingly.
Yes, I do, Asya, he said, pronouncing her name as kindly as he could. He shrugged. Of course how could you? Or how could I love you? We barely know each other. We're only together for the sake of our prides, to keep them happy.
Asya agreed with a nod of her own. They didn't say anything more. There was nothing to say.
Because two kings owed each other a favor, their children were stuck together... for the good of their prides and not for the good of themselves.
They were stuck, trapped... in a game of politics with no thought or feeling of their own. Their fathers had decided their fates and their futures
Hope you like it, Claire and Nama This is one of the things you have to look forward to in my soon-to-be-in-progress-one-shot of these two ^^
