"At least the damage done by her claws and teeth would be justified." He growled, "Because you deserve it, Witch. If she were to hurt you, I'd not blame her one bit."
Unyevu's eyes widened and he let out a full-fledged roar, "I would never lie with you, Mchawi! And if I were to, I'd fell no warmth. Your heart is made of ice." His whole body trembled with rage. For her to even faintly suggest such a thing was the most infuriating thing he had ever heard pass her lips. She was not worthy of being compared to his love! The only similarity he saw between them was the one she had already mentioned: being female.
"I will never let go." His voice shook, partly out of rage, and partly out of the sorrow that her words caused to come to the surface. "I can't, even if I wanted to. Can't you see that? If I could let go of all this, I would do it in an instant." Tears ran down his face from the pain it caused him to speak of such things. Tears hot with rage and sadness.
No. He could not take this any longer.
Unyevu lunged at Mchawi with all his strength, his claws outstretched and his teeth bared in a dangerous snarl. He would not kill Mchawi, but he wanted to make her fully understand how powerful his anger could be.

In those briefest of moments Mchawi felt more emotions than she ever had in her lifetime. She'd pushed him to this, she knew it. She should have expected insults and angry words, heck she was used to it by now - especially from him!! But this time things were different.
She realised then that she didn't understand the type of love Unyevu was talking about. The type of love that would drive him to such despair. She loved her brothers and would protect them if it came down to it, but for anyone outside her family? She was naive to love other than family love. She knew not the touch of a lover nor the feeling of the heart racing when you were near someone you wanted to spend your life with...have a family with.
His words, his biting words, made her realise something else, too.
No one would ever love her. Not in the way that Unyevu and his mate loved one another. Not unconditional, passionate, beautiful love. She would only anger and irritate just as she was doing Unyevu now - a lion she had secretly lusted after all that time ago.
She realised now that it wasn't love. She had lusted after him because he had been young and handsome. He'd also had a rare and wonderful power. No, if he was faced with mortal danger she would have saved him for his power, not because she loved him.
Somehow that fact saddened her.
She opened her mouth to reply, but opened it before she knew what to say. However, if she had words she wouldn't have had a chance to say them.
It was so fast she barely had time to react. In another second she was pinned beneath him, lying on her back, hind legs pressed against his belly in an attempt to push him off. But the shock prevented it.
He had attacked her.
He had actually dared to attack her! Her?!
held down by his anger and his weight she tried to mask the shock and fear with an angry snarl. She pressed against one of his shoulders with a free forepaw and pushed with all her might.
"Do I feel like ice, Unyevu?" She whispered. Her voice was emotionless but it shook very slightly.
Nondo, screaming with rage, leapt up from his place from the floor and swooped up in an attempt to crash against the lion's head.

Unyevu felt himself slam into Mchawi and a split second later, he was crouched over her. Unmoving and determined to make her pay, he did not budge when she pressed against him. He was bigger than her, stronger, and he knew it.
"No, not ice. Something colder still." He hissed, flexing his claws threateningly so that they pressed against her skin almost to the point of drawing blood. If she pushed him much farther, he would not hesitate to spill a bit of her crimson life onto the ground.
And then Unyevu felt something smack into his head, causing him to cry out in frustration and pain. He snapped his jaws at Nondo, snarling at him.
"Damn it bird! I'll break you without a second thought if you try it again."
With that, he turned his attention back to Mchawi, a deep rumble in his throat.
"Don't test me, Mchawi. Don't make me do something we'll both regret. And never," He lowered his head so that his face was only inches from hers. "Never suggest that I would lie with you."
He pressed on her shoulders with his paws forcefully and he lowered his voice to a harsh whisper. "Unless you wish to die right then and there."

"I'll take that risk." He snarled, feeling her hind legs pressing against his underbelly. Unyevu did not budge, but simply continued to tower over her, pure hate radiating from his entire being.
He snorted, "It doesn't. Though I suppose I now won't have to worry about that topic coming up again." He said warningly, beginning to cool down slightly. He did not want to lose his temper any more than he had already, he did not want to truly hurt Mchawi. Not now, in any case.
"Msiba? I'm not afraid of that brother of yours." He snapped, anger welling up once again to the point where he flexed his claws slightly, drawing the smallest droplets of blood from Mchawi. Still, she did have a point. He certainly did not want Msiba to find out about this... He had never seen him angry before, save their shouting match a few days prior. Unyevu had a sinking feeling that Msiba was going to be even less tolerant of him than usual now that they had done that.
He growled, and withdrew his claws. "Nice for you, perhaps. But remember this, Mchawi. Next time you had best watch your back. A beast is more unpredictable and dangerous than ever when it is backed into a corner."
With that, he drew himself up and reluctantly released her, standing to the side with his tail lashing behind him and watching her with his stone cold eyes. He truly did resemble a caged and desperate soul, waiting to strike out at his masters and escape.

Unyevu laughed harshly, "You think that you are worth that much to him? That he would let this entire grand plan go to ruins for you? I doubt that. I know how much you two need me, and I also know that as soon as I'm no longer needed, I'm as good as gone." He shrugged halfheartedly, "But until then, I have nothing to fear from him. Or you, for that matter." He watched her with a smug grin as she regained her feet, relishing in the fact that he had made her hurt, even a little. He knew how hard it had to be for her and Msiba, unable to kill him without ruining their entire plan. The plan that must be so important, for them to go to such measures to get his cooperation.
"I'm sure he would." He bared his fangs threateningly at the raven, "If he was not dead first." An empty threat, but one he enjoyed all the same.
Unyevu stared right back at her, trying and failing to decipher the many emotions in her eyes. Unlike her, Unyevu's eyes were filled with only one thing and it was all too clear what it was.
Pure loathing.
This was nothing new, but it seemed to have gone to another level in the past several minutes. In fact, ever since they arrived at this place his hatred for them had been climbing increasingly upward, but nobody had gotten him riled up enough to make him attack yet.
Nobody except Mchawi.
"You have talent, Mchawi. You fill me with rage like no other can, and for that reason you ought to be especially wary. If I do snap one day, you'll be the first to go."
With that he turned his back, perhaps a foolish move, but he did not care. If Mchawi wanted to yell back at him, he would hear. The miserable lion was not intending to get anywhere fast, which was clear from his heavy footfalls.
