@VitanisMate: "How about you stop trying to prove yourself to us when you have a cub who is more frustrated with you than we are?" Malaika snapped back, just about ready to smack the baffoon of a lion.

"What your father said is true," she looked from Ekwu and then to the land ahead, "Kujasuri is my son-in-law as you know, but I never thought it would start out that way. He 'saved' your great-aunt and me from some lionesses trying to kill us and he was 'trusted' enough to come into the pride. Although, it was lost when he tried to kill us. I finally had the last straw, and I banished him to the Outlands, where your mother left my care when she was a cub and went to live with him. She then returned with him as her mate and they came back to me when she was pregnant with you".

@Nakisisa: She watched him running off, knowing she was right. She knew he wasn't able to admit it, but she was right and Naki didn't want to admit it to Adeola. He was a sweet lion, she gave him that but she knew that he was always going to have his heart belong to Malaika.
What she hated to admit more though, is that she was too upset over the whole thing. She wished, just once, the sweet ones would look at her instead of her sister.
