Kael crawled under the bushes, his back touching the dry branches. He saw the bloody scene Katari had left behind.
The corpses of five cubs were strewn across the place in the most violent way. One even looked like it had been bitten in half.
Among the dead cubs, were five live cubs. These cubs were huddled together in one corner, shaking from fear.
These cubs looked like they were only a few weeks old and all of them were females. Katari had made sure that every male was among the dead ones.
Seeing these cubs, Kael was reminded that he too was once like this. There had even been a time when he heard the roars of a foreign lion as a cub.
Thankfully, he had a very powerful father who deterred the opposition. If not, he would probably have experienced the same thing these cubs were experiencing.
