Insert 16

Muzikhona
I got home at the palace and parked the car and got in greeting the staff and going to the dinning area that where the whole family will be dinning. The minute i got in all my brothers little kids jumped on me with excitement.
Me: Look into the bag and see what iv got you guys. The ran to the bag and kissed my sister in law cheek and hugged my brother Lifa.
Lifa: Safe trip?
Me: Yeah
Lifa: got what you looking for?
He knows about Zanele and he knows that iv given up the throne for her when my father wanted me to marry a person of his choosing while I was seeing her and I declined making me chief and my younger brother King cause he agreed to do everything that our father asked of him.
Me: No, she passed away.
The room was silent.
Amy: Sorry buthi
Me: Its okay but I found out that she has a daughter.
Lifa: How old?
Me: 19, its a big possibility that she might be mines.
Everyone looked at me shocked. After Zanele Left me. I never really dated, i never got any kids cause I didn't have a kingdom to build. I focus on the people of this kingdom .
Lifa: We have to find her. And find out if she is yours or not.
Me: I think she is mine. Why else would Zanele run away after the rumours of my arrangement?
Lifa: we need to go kubo Zanele, find out the truth of her running away and if she was pregnant than. We pay the damages and look for our Princess. I looked at my brother who always had my back. Who have told me countless times since our father passing that I can take back the throne which iv declined.

Zikhona
I woke up and went to the bathroom and came back and froze. There at the bottom of the bed was a full grown Jaguar or cheetah i really couldn't tell these animals apart. It was literally sleeping there as if its at home. I looked at the bed and saw that luniko was dead asleep. My brains went on over drive and the best thing I could do was tip toe back to bed to wake him up. I slowly made my way there as i tip toe checking if the animal was still sleeping when I was next to the bed I saw it get up and all I could do was stand there frozen at my place. I looked at it white fur and light green eyes and I stopped and fully turn looking at the eyes. He looked familiar, i couldn't believe that am the one standing here looking at and animal and not screaming. Its slowly walked towards me and I stood there not moving or saying a word. It slowly walked over to me and I stood there looking at it with my heart pounding fast and it slowly brushed itself on me and I just looked at it, it pushed me lightly and I feel onto the floor without a word and walked towards my face. I was literally looking at it laying in the floor as it looked right in my eyes and raid it paw and slowly placed it on my shoulder burning right into the shirt and skin as I screamed and it was light out for me.

Luniko
I woke up to screams and I turned to find my spiritual guide animal by the side of the bed where Zikhona was sleeping and she wasn't there. I jumped out of the bed and there she was on the floor with his paw on her shoulder.
Me: What did you do?
I rushed over to her picking her up placing her on the bed as grandma busted in the room.
Grandma k: its imprinted on her.
I looked at her confused as mom and dad walked in too. I looked at her shoulder and there it was his paws on her like a birthmark.
Grandma k: the Gods and The spiritual world have chosen her.
My grandmother Amandla walked in with her hair on fire. I guess she is here with a small bowl. She didn't speak to us just applied a potion on her and put on leaves and made small droplets go in her mouth and left. We all stood there waiting for her to come through. My heart was pounding so hard and I felt a burning sensation on my shoulder and I looked at it as a small paw similar to hers was starting to appear and my grandma smiled.
Me: What up?
Grandma k: Congratulations son... you are now one.....
