My Panther Mate & Our Little Cub novel Chapter 155

Chapter 155 Just Bite Me

Finished

“Zachary!” Matthew let out a deep, rumbling roar and shot forward across the snow as if he’d been launched.

“Zachary?” Daniel’s eyes widened in shock as he looked down at the creature pinned beneath his paws, the realization hitting him hard. It really was a lynx.

Lynxes were typically found in the high, snowy mountain regions, and in this area, only Zachary’s family belonged to that species.

I’m done for

That was the only coherent thought in Daniel’s mind before Matthew crashed into him and knocked him

away.

Yael, Donald, and the rest were equally stunned and hurried over at once. “Zachary, are you alright?”

“Are you injured?”

“Can you still get up?”

Matthew anxiously kept licking Zachary’s face, his ears flattened back as he panted heavily.

“Meow…” Zachary finally noticed Matthew. The moment that familiar scent reached him, everything he had been holding in broke, and tears spilled out uncontrollably.

He wrapped his claws around Matthew’s neck and pressed himself tightly against him, letting out broken whimpers. “Waaah…

“Meow…”

Matthew’s chest felt like it cracked open. He carefully checked Zachary from head to tail, the pressed him into the snow and kept licking him again and again–his head, his face, his neck, his back- refusing to stop.

gently

Only then did the other black panthers finally relax. From what they could see, Zachary wasn’t seriously hurt. If he had been, Matthew would have already lost control.

Still, Yael and the others hadn’t expected the lynx to be Zachary at all. But now that they looked closely, the resemblance was unmistakable.

The lynx’s underside was covered in soft, pale white fur, while the base coat along his back was also light, gradually shifting into silver tones before ending in a stunning silver–gray. He was fluffy and delicate, and under the winter sunlight he looked as if starlight had been woven into his fur.

His pointed ears carried small tufts of dark gray fur. His eyelashes were long, thick, and slightly curled. His ice–blue eyes were large and striking, framed by a natural dark outline like eyeliner, with a halo of pale fur around them. Even his nose was a soft pink.

He was just as captivating and beautiful as he was in human form.

Meanwhile, Daniel dragged himself out of a nearby snowbank. His head hung low, and his tail was tucked tight, weighed down by guilt. He wanted to approach but couldn’t bring himself to do it.

Chapter 155 Just Bite Me

Finished

Zachary, on the other hand, felt an overwhelming pull from Matthew’s presence–something warm and irresistible, like his whole body wanted to move closer on instinct.

It was like someone dying of thirst in a desert finally stumbling upon water, desperate enough to drink until they drowned in it.

The lynx lay on his back beneath the black panther, claws still hooked around Matthew’s neck/exposing his belly as he let himself be licked from head to tail.

He greedily inhaled Matthew’s scent, and the strange heat that had been unsettling him slowly began to settle down.

A cold breeze swept across the snow–clean, sharp, and refreshing. The lynx narrowed his eyes in comfort a soft, contented purr rumbling in his chest.

Matthew took that reaction as approval and intensified his licking, his tail swishing uncontrollably.

A black panther’s tongue had tiny barbs on it. Normally, Zachary’s skin was too sensitive for it, and he would flinch or end up with red marks after only a few licks. But now that he had a thick coat of fur, Matthew could finally lick him as much as he wanted.

As the discomfort faded, Zachary became more alert. He blinked his bright eyes and suddenly noticed the other black panthers sitting in the snow, watching the entire scene like it was the most entertaining thing they’d seen all winter.

Only then did embarrassment catch up with him. Even though he enjoyed the warmth and attention, he still wriggled free, letting out a small “Meow” as he squirmed out from under Matthew and shook himself awkwardly.

Not far away, Daniel stood there looking completely miserable, his fear and guilt written all over him.

Perhaps the anticipation of punishment was worse than punishment itself. He took a sharp stuck all over his head, and slowly walked toward Zachary step by step.

Then suddenly, with a heavy thud, he collapsed onto his back in the snow.

eath, snow

Zachary flinched at the sudden movement and instinctively pulled back, tightening his grip around Matthew’s front leg.

Is he… trying to play victim now?

Daniel lay flat on his back with all four paws in the air, exposing his belly, and let out a loud “Awoo!”

Zachary didn’t understand panther language at all, so he looked over at Matthew in confusion.

Matthew, however, understood perfectly. Daniel was performing a “death apology.” Whether he actually died or not wasn’t the point; the attitude alone screamed total self–sacrifice.

The sincerity was there, but Matthew could only think about Daniel pinning Zachary down earlier and biting him.

Zachary was so small, so fragile–he had never even been in a real fight before.

Chapter 155 Just Bite Me

The more Matthew thought about it, the angrier he became. He stepped forward and repeatedly smacked Daniel’s head with his heavy paws in a rapid series of blows.

“Ummm… Zachary, I’m sorry. You can just bite me. Bite me until I’m bald, I don’t care… Please, if you want to kill me, go ahead…”

Daniel didn’t fight back at all. He wriggled through the snow like a worm until he reached Zachary’s feet, stretching his neck out as far as he could in complete submission.

“Zachary, just end me… I don’t deserve the food you gave me…”

Even though Daniel was howling so dramatically, Zachary couldn’t understand the words, but he could still feel the sincerity behind them.

Donald and the others were thoroughly entertained, watching like it was the best show of the season. Yael and Kyle even circled around Daniel, teasing him without mercy.

And since Daniel’s skull was unusually thick, Matthew’s blows weren’t likely to cause any real harm–at worst, he’d just end up a little dazed.
