Golden light slants through the tall, dry grass, painting the den in stripes of warm shadow. Two magnificent white lions, Soraya and Kaelen, are curled around something small and damp. Their movements are slow, deliberate, a sacred ritual. Soraya’s tongue, gentle and persistent, strokes over the newborn’s fur, her amber eyes soft with tears she doesn’t shed. Kaelen watches, his massive head lowered, his own purr a bass note that vibrates in the very earth. This is their first act of love: to clean you, to know you, to welcome you into the hum of the savanna and the safety of the pride.
