The tiger was quick. After she threw Zerra on top of her head, it disappeared within the tall trees and thick vegetation.
Cassias also stopped himself, his hands clenched. He could fly to chase after her. However, he knew Zerra wouldn't want him to do that, right?
He stood there for more than an hour, imagining the snow-white fox coming back and running toward him excitedly just like she always did when she found something that made her happy.
Unfortunately, after what felt like an eternity, she never came back.
Sending one last look in the direction where Zerra had disappeared, he walked to his house with a heavy heart.
Why was he so irrational…? The first time he saw her, looking a little out of place among the rowdy cubs with her helpless little face, he didn't feel resistant toward her like he did to other cubs.
