The rainy season is approaching, the river is swelling, and the mountain paths are muddy.
All the tribes are busy stockpiling food, reinforcing caves, and repairing beast skin tents.
But Caden’s matters are clearly urgent, so why does the Clan Leader insist he finishes other tasks first?
Is there another aning behind this, or is it a deliberate delay?
She frowned deeply.
Is this about finding her another Beast Husband?
Or is there another hidden reason?
If they are really seeking a husband for her, why choose this critical timing?
Moreover, the candidate is undecided, no information has been conveyed, and she hasn’t even t anyone, yet they are urgently running around?
Is there so undisclosed arrangent hidden behind this?
The more she thought, the more uneasy she felt.
Wyatt Yardley sat down next to her, gently brushing aside the strands of hair from her forehead.
He observed her weary expression, feeling a tightness in his chest.
Caden has been missing for a long ti, with no trace, who can guarantee that they will catch up?
If they don’t catch up by tomorrow, the bit of hope she barely holds onto, might be shattered even more.
Isaac Vaughn squatted in the corner, noticing the redness at the corners of Seraphina Caldwell’s eyes, feeling a tug at his heart.
"If you’re tired, take a break. Don’t force yourself."
Outside the cave entrance, Kaelan Hawthorne was turning over so wild animal at.
His technique was skilled, but his thoughts had already drifted to the girl in the depths of the cave with red-rimd eyes.
Gideon Larkin sat beside him, poking at the fire with a stick, his gaze constantly straying to the inside of the cave.
"Kaelan, do you think Seraphina is holding sothing in her heart? Maybe I should pick so wild fruits for her tomorrow?"
He knew she didn’t like fruits, but he couldn’t help wanting to try.
Kaelan gave him a sideways glance and sneered.
"What she needs now isn’t fruit; it’s finding her father."
He knew Gideon too well, foolish and overly kind-hearted.
But the void in Seraphina’s heart cannot be filled with just a few fruits.
She doesn’t just have Gideon wrapped around her finger; even Wyatt and Isaac are led around by her.
Kaelan sneered again, lowering his head to continue turning the at skewers.
He had seen many people bewitched by Seraphina’s clear eyes.
This girl, seeming delicate, actually has a high level of skill.
Isaac was even more outrageous, tearing up his cherished Beast Skin overnight to make her a garnt by dawn.
Such skill really commands admiration.
Kaelan felt a twinge of jealousy as he watched then.
He’d never done anything like this for anyone.
But why is she so eager to find her father?
This question lingered in his mind for a long ti.
By rights, Caden has been missing for so ti, if sothing truly happened, news should have arrived by now.
Yet why is she so persistent?
Kaelan squinted at the fire, feeling vaguely that this matter wasn’t that simple.
Evan Orwell stood on a large rock at the cave entrance, eyes fixed on the distant forest.
His eyes flickered slightly, as if he had sensed sothing, yet couldn’t understand it.
At this ti, the Clan Leader of the Elephant Clan stood in front of a cave halfway up the mountain.
The entrance was half-covered with vines, dark and deep.
He stood at the entrance, his gaze sweeping over every corner within the cave.
Ensuring that no one was watching, he slowly stepped inside.
Inside the cave, a sturdy male was squatting at the fire pit weaving a bamboo basket.
In the firelight, the scar on his forehead was faintly visible.
Hearing footsteps, he didn’t raise his head.
"Clan Leader, is there sothing you need?"
He put down the bamboo strips and slowly stood up.
Albert Wyndham frowned.
"That girl from Caden’s family? The one I rejected back then? Why has she returned?"
The Clan Leader sat on the stone bench, his hands resting on his knees.
"Yes, it’s her. This ti she’s not here for anything else, but to find her father. I just had a brief eting with her; honestly, the girl is really not bad. She’s beautiful, speaks softly, has a gentle disposition without any airs of a noble lady. Before leaving, she even specifically thanked , expressing gratitude for the tribe taking care of her father over the years."
"You’d think, where can you find such a sensible female? Back then, Caden went through mountains and valleys, traveled thirty-six settlents to find a suitable bride price for her. However, you dismissed her with just a word due to a montary temper. At that ti, you were so confused with rage. Missing out on her, let tell you, you may never encounter soone as suitable again in your life."
Albert Wyndham slowly lifted his eyes, his gaze coldly sweeping towards the Clan Leader.
"Clan Leader, do you rember why I rejected her? Have you forgotten what she said back then? Or do you think those words are insignificant?"
The Clan Leader certainly rembered.
How could he not rember?
He was present that day, clearly hearing the young girl say those words.
"I don’t want to marry a male who relies only on talent and lacks patience."
This reached Albert’s ears and directly made him turn and leave without even bothering to explain.
Since then, the two families cut off all contact.
The Clan Leader pursed his lips.
"Albert, I know you are proud and have high standards. But people grow up and their ideas change. Listen to , just go and take a look. Really, just one look."
"You’re just delivering so at along the way. After seeing her, if you still find it unsuitable, you can just walk away and it won’t delay anything. They’re leaving first thing in the morning to return to their main tribe. Once they leave, there might never be a chance to et again. If you really miss this chance, it’ll be too late to regret it in the future."
Albert was silent for a long ti, finally making a move.
He picked up the Beast Skin package hanging on his arm, inside was a large piece of golden and crispy roasted hind leg at.
Then, step by step, he walked towards the long-abandoned cave to the east.
He wanted to see what was so special about the female that made Caden run around for her in the mountains.
And what gave her the nerve to reject five males by saying none were satisfactory?
He couldn’t believe she could be any more stunning.
As soon as he reached the cave entrance.
Kaelan, who was poking at the firewood by the fire, noticed the movent and sharply raised his head.
He glanced at that deep blue Beast Ring on Albert’s arm and imdiately frowned.
"Who are you? What are you doing here? Who are you looking for?"
"My na is Albert Wyndham."
"The Clan Leader asked to bring so at for Seraphina Caldwell, said she’s co from afar and shouldn’t be mistreated as a guest."
Inside the cave, Seraphina Caldwell was leaning against a stone platform covered with Beast Skin, resting with her eyes closed, feeling low.
But upon hearing the familiar na from outside, she instinctively opened her eyes.
Although she didn’t wish to see him, he was on the Clan Leader’s orders to deliver sothing.
Feigning ignorance would be too rude.
After pondering for a mont, she still supported herself against the stone wall to slowly stand up, adjusted her sleeves, and walked out slowly.
As soon as she stepped out of the cave entrance, she saw Albert Wyndham’s figure.
The silver-blue hair ends cascaded over his shoulders, his facial features sharp and defined, his brow bone prominent.
Even though he hadn’t Bonded yet, there was no trace of the usual youthful restlessness within him.
So young, yet he had already stably entered the Blue Rank.
"Thank you for making this trip."
Seraphina stood still, the hem of her skirt gently swaying in the wind.
Albert’s heart unexpectedly sped up at the sight of her.
Her hair was slightly curled, with a rare shade of light purple.
When the wind blew, her hair strands gently floated.
Her skin was pure white, not at all like the notorious arrogant female from the rumors.
Seraphina waved her hand.
"Please thank the uncle for . We’ve hunted ourselves, there’s more than enough to eat. You should take the at back."
Albert’s hand abruptly stiffened, nearly throwing the piece of beast leg on the ground.
He originally ca with the mindset of watching a good show.
What kind of female dares to reject five Beast Husbands?
Isn’t this stirring up trouble?
