The Heart of a Lion, White Lion Cub TF

    "We seem to be very popular here." said Kali, the White Lioness.  "Indeed." Kemba gave a yawn as he showed his sharp teeth to the crowd. "Humans really seem to like us since our fur is a different color."
    "Indeed, it's not everyday a Lion is born with fur as white as snow." Kali said. "I feel like a...what to those humans call...celebrity?" "but we are not perfect, I think we need a Cub." Kali said, thinking about how all the other felines have Cubs. "Why Kali, is that an invitation? I feel flattered, but I would rather not do it while we are being watched." Kemba snickered
    Kali looked at her mate, with a confused face. "No... You know very well our kind can't do that, we have to... Choose one of them" she said pointing at the humans. "We can still do it for fun." He can't help but snicker "Wait, isn't there some new human who was hired to feed us?"
    "Are you referring to the zookeeper's son?" Kali asked thinking about Leo. "It's HIS son huh? I suppose. He does love animals."
    "Well actually... Mr. Raymond it come to me the other day, he wants Leo to... Stay with us. Since he's too busy with the zoo, and Leo's mother died. There's no one to take care of him unless we... Do it" Kali said. "he talked to you? How come I was not included in on this conversation?" he snorts. "you were asleep, remember when he used to have that insomnia problem, he cured my insomnia in exchange for this agreement." Kali explained. If it was possible, He would be blushing from under his fur "Oh.." he cleared his throat "Well, it would be nice to have a cub around the den."
    "So do we have an agreement?" Kali said, offering her made a PawShake. "Deal...but can we do is after dinner? I would want to eat first." he offers her his paw. Kali nodded, because she was aware that Leo was delivering their dinner tonight. "in the mean time." he inhaled and gave a mighty roar, impressing and frightening the people, "How was that?"
    "Very impressive." Kali said.
    Time seemed to go incredibly slow for the two lions, since they were filled with excitement of the upcoming event. eventually, they did reach nightfall, and sure enough, Leo brought out dinner for both the white lions. Kemba quickly went over to the food and started to gobble it down. Kali also came over and started eating. "is it good?" Leo asked them. Kemba "Indeed, I love it! Thank you Leo." He spoke with a mouthful of meat. Leo smiled, fully aware of his ability to understand Lion language.
    
    Kali whispered into Kemba "can you feel it? Leo has the heart of a Lion, not a human heart." "I feel something...though it just might be gas." he snickered "But there is something special, like his ability to understand us." "close your eyes, I know you'll begin to feel it his Lion Heart" Kemba closed his eyes and concentrated, his ears twitched as he heard the heart beat. "Amazing, he really is lion hearted."
    "You ready to place the paw prints on his hands?" Kali asked, ready to place the left paw print. "Of course I am." his tail was waving around happily, and he lifted his right paw.
    Leo had stepped out for a minute, but then came back and started petting Kali and Kemba, Kali then took hold of Leo's left hand, placed it on the ground, and pressed her left paw down on leaving behind a white paw print. she then looked at Kemba and nodded at him. Kemba carefully took Leo's right hand and pinned it under his right paw, giving him a another paw print on the back of his right hand.
    Hey, what are these white paw prints for?" Leo curiously asked. "I hope we did not hurt you with our hasty actions," He bowed Leo's feet would start to feel very tingly, White fur slowly started to sprout and cover his feet. They started to swell, and his shoes looked like they were going to burst. "Allow me to help you with that." Kemba walked over and slowly, and carefully used his claws to free his feet. Leon would be surprised to see white fur had completely covered his feet. It gave him an appearance like he was wearing white slippers. "are these... White paws?" Leo asked. His toes started to swell, though he lost his pinky toe. His nails lengthened. Rough pads slowly formed under his souls, allowing him for easy movement under any terrain. his heels cracked, causing Leo to wobble as his balance was altered. Leo was now walking on his new paws, with no heel support.
    Leo found himself falling forward, but Kali caught, and got him sitting on her back, so he could continue watching, she gestured for Kemba to get rid of Leo's Jeans. Kemba nodded and quickly reduced his jeans to shreds "How are you feeling Leo?" he chuckled "I really love that name." The white fur started to move up his legs, making him feel stronger, and faster as new muscles started to grow in. "I can feel new strength coming, but what's going on?" "All questions will be answered in due time Leo....oh is that a tail I see starting to grow?" Kemba snickered and pawed a small lump that was slowly starting to grow above his butt. The lump started to become longer, "Ew.." Kemba winces as he saw the thing grow longer. "..yet amazing." He smiled as white fur started to cover it. After a quick moment, Leo had his own tail "How does THAT feel?" he playfully pawed at it.
    "Ow... wait a minute, that means that that's... m-m-m-m-my Tail!?" Leo said. "Yes indeed, and a mighty fine tail ya got there lad." Kemba snickered and pawed at the tail some more. The white fur crept along his back and stomach like an advancing army. His shirt swelled, and then was torn to shreds as his new fur pelt was finished growing around his body. There was a loud crack that came from his back. "I'm scared" Leo finally admitted looking at his new body so far as he was trapped on all fours. "There in nothing to be scared of." Kemba walked over and started to nuzzle against Leo's head, giving off a small purr to try and calm him down.
    The white fur now started to advance down Leo's arms. He felt his strength triple, if not quadruple as the new muscle grow in. Leo's hands starts to emit cracks "That...sounds a bit painful, you OK?" Kemba asked, some worry in his voice. Leo's hands started to swell. He could no longer move his fingers as they started to shrink into stubby digits that were impossible for him to move. Like his toes, his pinky finger shrank away into nothingness. Leo could feel that the same pads that were on his feet, were starting to develop on his "hands" Leo could only stare in awe as he moved his new paws, he tried to flex them, but accidentally unsheathed his new claws "Whoa, careful there sport." "it's almost reached the halt, then we can explain everything, to just relax for a little bit longer, Leo." Kali finally stepped in and said.
     The fur moved up Leo's neck and scraggly white fur started to grow around his head, forming he new mane.It then started to work it's way around his face. When it reaches his ears, they started to slowly move up his head. When they reached the sides, they became triangular. "Well well, looks like we have finally reached the stopping point, for now anyway." he looks at the human face that was on the lion's head.
    "Listen closely Leo," Kali Began after nuzzling Leo's feline body. "we're turning you into a White Lion cub, you see, your father asked us to do this. Since her mother died, and he has to spend all his time here at the zoo, he needed to have someone take care of you. Fully aware of the animal powers we process here at the zoo, he asked us to turn you into our Cub and care for you in his place. He truly cares about you, I have proof, when we agreed to this term, he made so he feeds us and you every day. I hope you don't mind being White Lion for the rest of your life."
    Leo took a good look at his new body again, "I never thought this would happen, I thought I would just be sent to some orphanage, but no... my dad cared about me enough... to ask my favorite animal species to care for me." Leo then nuzzled Kali and then Kemba, "thank you... So from now on I call you Papa, and Mommy" Kali Nodded. "Papa..I like the sound of that...son." he smiled as Leo's face became covered with the fur. His Nose became black and suddenly became triangular. His muzzle slowly started to develop as it was pushed away from his face. His teeth became longer and sharper. "One, last change."  Kemba snickered as a sudden wave of dizziness hit Leo, his mane slowly started to shrink back in his neck. The fully developed muscles were starting to gain some baby fat around him. His overall size shrank away until he was only one-fifth the size he was "There, all better now." Kemba gave him a playful lick, "selected to be a Cub, literally?" Leo said.
    Kemba laughs "Well, why not a cub? Now you can have a second child hood, and look really cute in front of all the people who come and see us. Also, you will be living a lot longer." Leo's human father, Raymond, stepped into the exhibit. "Did you Lionize my boy?" he kindly asked. "See for yourself." Kemba carefully picks Leo up from the back of his neck and shows him to his human father.
"Dad!!" Leon said to his human dad, Ray looked at the little cub, he picks Leo up and gives him a gentle hug, "I hope you're okay with this" "I am, papa, I understand you have to spend the majority of your time working here, this is perfect, not only can Kemba and Kali care for me, but I can still spend more time with you anyway. Thank you, to all three of you. I'm sure momma is proud" Leo said, referring to his deceased human mother.
    Kemba and Kale smiled happily as they sat next to the human zoo keeper and rubbed their faces against him as they purred loudly, and happily. Over the Horizon, the sun has slowly started to rise, signaling the start of a new day, and for Leo, the start of his brand new life.
