Who cares that he didn't kill the cubs? He made it pretty clear to the wolf mother what he would do to her children if she crossed him. That, and not to gloss over the fact that he was trying to indoctrinate them into believing that Mowgli was evil and that their mother was in the wrong for raising him as her own. It is an ultimatum: if she were to thwart his plans to kill Mowgli, he's slaughter her cubs.
