Umeko was trying to find herself. The cubs she had given life to were now adolescents and venturing out more and more on their own. They needed her less and less. Same with Anika's girls. With Anika out on a viking again it left Umeko feeling rather lost. She had nothing to that was just hers and hers alone.
Walking the pride lands Umeko felt even more lost than normal. The lioness needed something to make her feel needed. She couldn't continue to pine over the male that never wanted her in the first place, he had just used her. It was time to get over it and move on.
