Disclaimer: Same as usual

Awoooooooooo! Hellllooo dear readers! Wondering about The Lone Wolf's past well listen up to it cos he's leaving this chapter! That's right faithful readers im pulling the plug on my little experiment. I didn't like where it was going and neither did a few readers. However for those of you who did like the little twist of "Wolfie" I'll send him off with some dignity.

And as response to a few reviews. The "hot shot" thing was a facade, had I managed to put it in the correct words, the history of The Lone Wolf would have come to light, unfortunately I was forced to drastically cut down on the story so much so that the parts left in were that of the lighter side to The Lone Wolf.

Another point to make is it's not actually me I intended to drop in the story. I wanted to plop a background character into the plot to use as a tool. Something that went drastically wrong, ironically The Lone Wolf as a character is the exact opposite of me personally. For example he's often described as graceful, just by writing this sentence I've managed to knock something onto the floor.

So in a few paragraphs in this chapter, I'm going to sum up The Lone Wolf's past and then effectively boot him on his way. Fans of his note that it was going to happen eventually. Not so big fans, it might be noted that throughout the story he has been used to clear up situations I couldn't work around. A perfect tool.

That said time for the final chapter of Cupid's Mistake. Enjoy and REVIEW!

Cupid's Mistake

Chapter Finale: A Dark Past, A Light Future

Nala's POV

I cocked my head interested in what my mom had to say. Unbeknownst to us Wolfie had slipped out of the den silently.

"The Lone Wolf was brought up in far away country. He was the runt of the pack. A pack is like a pride of wolves." My mom paused.

"Being the runt is hard in a pack that size, so much so that Wolfie stayed the runt for a good few years. Eventually he ran away from home because nobody loved him. Weeks later after living on a diet of berries and fruits, he returned a much bigger Wolf. But by the time he got back to his old den it was destroyed, he tracked down a weird set of prints. Finally he found his pack being loaded onto a big beast with round feet The beast ran away and he's seen none of them since."

My mom had a tear in her eye.

"When he was smaller his only friend was a wolf cub, I forget her name. But apparently Wolfie has been searching for her all his life. She was the only one that cared for him. And he is determined to find her again." I looked at Simba, he was rapt with attention.

"I think he loves her, and that's why he's called The Lone Wolf, he has not had a pack since. He occasionally stays with different animals from different prides, herds or packs. You name it he's stayed with it. But he has a lot on his shoulders and he moves on before he gets too attached. When I met him it was a good few years ago, I was hunting a hippo. Back then I was pregnant with Nala. I tracked it to a watering hole, unfortunately I was being hunted by a crocodile." Sarabi nodded.

I couldn't believe it Wolfie had a family he was looking for. No wonder he was always looking out for us, we reminded him of himself and that girl pup.

"The Lone Wolf fought it off?" Simba asked in awe.

"No, he distracted it so we could run; he got more scars for that than I think I can count." She turned to face Wolfie. He was gone. I looked at the empty space beside my mom, Simba not too bright looked at us both.

Sarabi pitied him.

"The Lone Wolf seems to have gone back to searching, I have a feeling we'll see him again someday." She added smiling.

Simba emitted a small sniffle and turned his back on Sarabi. He was closer to The Lone Wolf for some reason, something I could not quite pinpoint.

I bounded after Simba nuzzling him lovingly.

"Are you ok?" I asked stupidly.

"He taught me how to make you notice me" Simba told me.

"Huh?" I was confused.

"He told me what to do to make you like me more than a friend. I don't know how he knows about it all" I knew.

"Because he wanted to tell that wolf pup he loved her, but never had the guts. So he doesn't want us to do the same as him" I answered hugging him closer to me.

Simba recomposed himself; he pressed his head to mine closing his eyes.

"Nala I love you with all of my being" he whispered. My heart began to race faster than it had ever done.

"I love you too" I purred softly. My mom padded over to us.

"Simba your mom says its time for your bath." She said smiling at Simba's horrified expression.

I giggled; it was so funny how such things still grossed him out.

"Do it for me" I grinned cheekily rubbing my head against his. My mom chuckled slightly at Simba's growing red cheeks.

"Awww see you have to do as your girlfriend tells you now" she winked. It still sounded funny, like a dream. Me and Simba together. Me being referred to as Simba's girlfriend and he being spoken of as my boyfriend. It felt so weird but yet it felt so right.

Simba blushed shyly grinning at me. When he wandered off I let out an audible sigh. My mom smiled at me noticing my clear distraction.

"Cute is he?" she asked slyly. There was nothing to hide now really.

"Yeah he is" I answered happily. So now they were together, Scar was rather subdued. We knew of our friends past. And The Lone Wolf had left us once more; things would have gone back to normal if not for a major factor. Simba loved me. The bullying would stop, or at least it would go from me running home in tears everyday and crying myself to sleep to being able to stand beside Simba.

He had sacrificed his popularity; he had given up on his crush for me.

"Well at least now you can say it without the teasing because your little lovebirds" my mom nudged me smiling. I grinned back staring at Simba once more.

"Hey earth to Nala time for your bath. Come on can you take your eyes off of him for a few minutes." I giggled blushing and followed my mom over to her friends. I felt my mom's rough tongue slide over my back whilst I listened to the idle chatter.

"I still think it's funny how as soon as she found out Simba's favourite smell she rushed out to get it on her fur" Sarabi was saying. I blushed deeply; I'd hoped they had forgotten that.

My mom spoke between licks.

"So Nala you never told us when you started fancying him" she stated clearly.

I grew hot around the cheeks, the others agreed.

"So go on then" Sarabi said licking the top of Simba's head.

Giggling slightly I cast my mind back.

"I think it was before we went down to the gorge, I was sitting by the watering hole in the sun. It was so hot I couldn't breathe properly. The other cubs had all gone under a big tree for shade and forced me away. Then Simba came and asked me to walk with him so we headed back under the tree. He stuck up for me, and I kinda felt safe. And I noticed how cute is coat is" I finished off staring at the ground as though very interested by it. The redness in my cheeks refusing to subside.

I looked at Simba who looked at me. Our eyes connected again. I felt the heat rise in my cheeks. Simba mouthed "You're staring at me again"

I blushed further avoiding his golden orbs.

Both Sarabi and my mom must have noticed because Sarabi said loudly in an amused voice.

"We can't keep you two apart for five minutes can we? All right go on Simba I know you're desperate to be with your girlfriend again."

Simba blushed uttering an embarrassed sort of "mom"

He padded over to me, smiled my eyes sparkling. I leapt from my mom's arms and landed next to him. Simba grinned and we both headed for the mouth of the den.

"Don't be too late back" my mom called. This was followed by Sarabi wolf whistling.

I hid my face walking quicker

"Why are parents so embarrassing?" I asked when we were out of earshot.

"I don't know" Simba replied happily.

We walked towards the watering hole to see the other cubs and silently announce our coupling.

The girls all looked over at us as did the boys.

"Well here comes the happy couple" one of the girls sneered failing to realise that she had inadvertently claimed the truth.

I grinned shocking all of them.

Simba grinned with mischief in his eyes once more. He looked at me and I looked at him. In front of everyone he kissed me passionately, the sunset never reached the colour of blood red I had managed just then.

I was in love, and the boy I loved was in love with me. The crowd of cubs that had used to bully me were now dumbfounded.

Simba led me over to the tree were I first found my feelings for him. We sat with a group of girls I had never spoken to before. Within minutes my regained confidence allowed me to make friends with all of them.

Thanks to Simba I had just as many friends as he did. But we were rarely seen without each other.

Epilogue

Nala's POV

I stared at the old tree. I had met my love there when I was younger. Now he was my mate. I had a son of my own now. He had Simba's coat and confidence I could see it gleaming in the son. But he had my eyes and my heart.

I watched as he ran excitedly over to a tan cub bathing next to her mom. I knew she was the one that was bullied as I was though I had never spoken to her. She seemed like a nice girl and I remembered how horrible it had been for me at that age before I met Simba.

My son dashed over to her. After a few minutes the two of them were laughing and playing tag. The same way Simba and I used to.

I glanced over at my mate his eyes remained the same after all these years. He was now a proud king, I leaned in and licked him on the cheek. We sat and watched our son playing with the daughter of one of the pride.

I could sense that the two of them would fall for each other as I fell for Simba.

Across the savannah I saw a black shape emerge. It was the first time I had seen The Lone Wolf since we were cubs, he was with a snow white wolf and a litter of pups followed closely. It seemed he had found his lost love, I had my love and life was all well. The circle of life continued and I felt at home.
