Xiong Da shook his head, his gaze distinctly peculiar, "It's his other cub, the one sired with some other female beast."
Holy cow!!!
Shi Jie was taken aback and almost jumped up from the beast skin mat, "Is your uncle out of his mind? He dared to betray his mate? He even had cubs with other females...and now he dares to bring them back to the tribe and let all of you know?"
Xiong Da shook his head, "That's not it. The cub was conceived before my Uncle became mates with Xiong Dan's mother. He originally planned to pair off with the female, but she died during a beast rampage. Thus, only this cub was left. So, he never betrayed Xiong Dan's mother. But it's true that he loves this cub more than Xiong Dan."
Given what a simpleton Xiong Dan was, Shi Jie shook his head in pity for the cub. In the world of the beast-men, fathers were generally more nurturing towards their cubs than the frequently promiscuous females were. But when comparisons were drawn, things could turn ugly.
