Cirxus and Acantha met before she was Queen. Polly and I have a whole backstory to them. Once she was given the role as Queen, she allowed Crixus and his cousin, Davu, to join the pride. However, Crixus has never desired the throne, and doesn't particularly want to lead in general. So it wasn't given to him because he wasn't suited to the role, but more so because he didn't want it, or wasn't there at the time to receive it.

You would have to ask Polly for the exact reason and timeline of why Acantha chose who she did and when.

It would explain it if the Queen chose, since Ethan isn't a very nice lion, so she chose Kovanu before she met Crixus and decided not to give Crixus the throne and just have him as her mister/mate instead of king.

I'll certainly have to read the latest posts before I can try.

I want to find a reason that Kovanu was Kinged instead of Ethan, but I don't know how it would be.

I believe that'll do me good for first post. ^^

Ethan and Kovanu should have a bit of brother time, if you'd like.

If you guys want, you can def send Crixus to gather the lionesses so you two can post together for the two to bond?

It probably has more to do with Acantha and the previous leads than either of the males himself. Acantha was the Heir who the Pride was left to. I imagine she chose someone who she was compatable with and thought would lead beside or behind her, but never try to lead over her since Crixus never desired the throne.

Hatari is just, man this poor lady can't catch a break. I love the idea of her crushing on Crixus and not knowing how to act

Acantha would have chosen Kovanu because of his large size and, generally, he seems more compatible to her than Ethan. Crixus never desired the throne, so she wouldn't force it upon him, so Kovanu would have been her next option.

Nono- I said that ANY cubs, not that cubs were on the way.

Or at least that's what I mean- xd Sorry if you thought I meant that he knew. It was just rumored that if Acantha had any, they would be the heirs, not Kovanu's.

Ah, apologies. It seemed like you were saying that he knew of Acantha's pregnancy.

Well, Ethan would blame Acantha because that's not what Ethan thinks. And he believes that he is more capable then Kovanu.

I would adore Ethan speaking up to Acantha. Or Crixus telling Acantha the things Ethan said. I just.. I want her to split him off from the group and remind him that making an enemy of her is making a dangerous one- xD

"You may be the Second Male, and you may be the blood of Kovanu, but remember, Ethan, it is I who is Queen. It is I who truly rules the lionesses. Make an enemy of your leader, and you make enemies of the subjects. Be careful."

Something like that xD
