Werecats, unknown in the mortal world. And in the mythical world are met with laughs and questions about werewolves when mentioned. Truthfully they are an ancient power, an unknown myth more than twice the power than anyone who laughs at their name.

Welcome to the Noir Pride 1 in #cheetah

A couple years later his mother found her mate, the King of a lion pride. He and his brothers were taken in and raised as the King's very own, until his first shift and it was apart he didn't fit in. He wasn't a Lion. He wasn't strong, he wasn't brave and he was very effeminate... and gay. All things King Silas Hated. Much to his relief he finds out his mate is a man. The alpha of a Rogue Pack. Can Skyler finally find belonging? Will he ever receive love and happiness?

A lion shifter is kicked out of his pride when he reaches 18 because his inner animal has reached sexual maturity. His father and mother both carried the recessive white gene even though they are tawny. As he is cast out Spiros' father instructs his son to find his pride although that has never been his priority. Being a gay lion shifter means he wants a mate and not a pride. In a pride, one or more fully mature males covet a harem of females and defend the pride land from nomadic males trying to ensure their offspring reach maturity before they are dethroned after their prime comes to an end. Most male lion shifters can hold onto territory for nearly 25 years. The females of the species stay in the same land they were born and as long as all their cubs are grown and able to flee or defend themselves they accept new males without much of a fight. Lion shifters live much like their wild cousins. Other cat shifters are a bit different with only wanting one mate as they are mostly solitary creatures save for their mate and cubs. After leaving his pride Spiros settles in his own territory without a pride and hopes that he will stumble upon who he would choose to be his mate. As his instincts guided him to the territory in which he settled. But maybe he does want a pride, but he wants it different from other lions.
