Sal walked over slowly. Yanai opened his eyes when he heard footsteps.
Seeing Sal in his cub form, Yanai was a little surprised. "Why are you like this?"
"I was injured by Kith and Finch," Sal said flatly, frowning.
"With your escape skills, how did you still end up this badly hurt?" Yanai teased, his lips curved into a wide grin.
The mention of it made Sal's expression darken. "That's none of your business."
"Tsk, so weak," Yanai scoffed. "What do you want with me?"
"Your ability has healing properties," Sal said. "My female is about to give birth. I want you to help protect her and the cub for a while."
"You actually have a female? And even a cub already?" Yanai looked as if he'd heard something utterly unbelievable. He laughed. "Which female is blind enough to fall for you?"
"You're the blind one," Sal shot back. "I'm handsome, strong, and plenty of females like me. You, on the other hand—hiding in the deep mountains all these years—aren't you still a virgin male?"
