My Panther Mate & Our Little Cub novel Chapter 205

Chapter 205 Where Does It Hurt?

Finished.

Sometimes, Jaden would comfort himself too, but for a cub, self-comfort rang hollow. He thought of many reasons, but he still couldn’t make himself accept the separation.

At the same time, Jaden was also worried about what would happen to his Sire and Alpha if he died. So, he asked Taylor, “Can you come to my house more often from now on? My Sire and Alpha really like you.

Taylor nodded. “Of course. I like all of you too.”

Jaden stared into Taylor’s bright, sparkling eyes and reminded him not to run off on his own anymore, because it was dangerous outside.

He also told him not to fight with other cubs.

He shouldn’t eat too much of the food he liked all at once, or his stomach would hurt.

Taylor touched Jaden’s forehead and said worriedly, “You’re acting a little strange today.”

Jaden didn’t say anything as he couldn’t bear to leave everyone.

He would pretend to be asleep, then secretly open his eyes and quietly stare at Zachary for a while, then at Matthew for a while.

During the day, unless he really couldn’t hold on anymore, Jaden would try his best to stay awake and spend more time with his Sire and Alpha. Even if he didn’t do anything, just leaning against them quietly was enough.

Zachary kept finding new ways to make all kinds of tasty food for Jaden, rice cakes, chestnut cakes, fruit, candy…

He even spent an entire afternoon baking little cookies for the cub.

Although he failed a few times, Jaden was very supportive. He hugged Zachary’s arm and kept saying they were delicious.

It was too cold, so Jaden couldn’t go outside to build a snowman. Taylor built a very small one instead and carried it into the cave to show him.

Matthew had raised Jaden since he was little, so he understood Jaden better than anyone. Naturally, he could sense that something was wrong with the cub.

After one meal, Matthew half crouched down and gently patted Jaden on the shoulder, then told him very seriously, “When Mr. Bruce comes back, your illness will

Jaden nodded and said, “I know, Alpha. Don’t worry. set better.”

The cub was very clingy with Zachary, but there was

Sadness in his ice-blue eyes.

Zachary knew Jaden felt awful because he was sick, so he stayed with him the whole time. He sat by the fire, held the cub in his arms, and softly told him stories.

Chapter 205 Where Does It Hurt?

Some of the stories had been told to Zachary by his grandmother when he was little. After so many years, Zachary was now telling them to his own child.

Before Bruce left, he wrapped up a new dose of medicine and brought it over.

He also told Zachary that he would probably be back in a few days, and that the medicine from the Rabbit, tribe would cure Jaden.

The two black panthers ran through the wind and snow day and night without stopping.

By the time they reached their destination, it was already the evening of the third day.

The Rabbit tribe was hidden in a very secluded place. Even the tribes on good terms with them only knew its rough location.

By then, Bruce was already at the end of his strength. Even his steps were unsteady as he walked.

After that, he didn’t know how much more time passed. As the world spun around him, he heard an anxious low roar, then lost consciousness.

Donald held Bruce after he passed out, frantic with worry.

By chance, Willis had taken his people out hunting and came across them.

When Bruce woke up again, he saw Leslie bending over and staring at him. “Little rabbit?”

Leslie looked pleasantly surprised. “Mr. Bruce, you’re awake!”

Bruce sat up and looked around. “Where is Donald?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Donald walked in with a bowl of steaming soup in his hands.

“How long have I been out?” Bruce was thinking about the sick people back at the tribe. He couldn’t afford any delay.

Donald replied “You passed out. Willis found us, and today mouth, “Drink this first.”

This kind of medicinal herb grew on steep cliffs. It was extremely hard to gather as there were very few of them, and they grew very slowly.

A very serious illness had once appeared in the tribe, and its symptoms were very similar to what Bruce described. In the end, these herbs were what cured it.

Bruce hadn’t brought anything with him this time, so he promised to send food over later in exchange but the Rabbit tribe didn’t want food.

They wanted to learn how to weave fish traps.

The last time they went to the Black Panther Tribe, they had noticed this unique tool.

Willis knew his people weren’t good at hunting, so this kind of tool would be extremely useful to them.

Bruce agreed.

Nothing was more important than his people’s lives. He didn’t dare linger at all.

Once the trade was made, he and Donald hurried back toward the Black Panther Tribe.

Jaden’s illness grew worse and worse. He didn’t even have the strength to walk anymore. He had a constant fever, his head hurt badly, and every part of his body burned.

After Zachary coaxed the cub to sleep, he would quietly cry a lot.

Matthew held his mate and cub in his arms, and even his usually steady face showed unease and fear.

In the middle of the night, Jaden suddenly opened his eyes. He carefully turned over, hugged his Sire, and quietly stared at him.

Zachary had been sleeping the whole time restlessly, and even the slightest movement woke him.

Out of habit, he touched the cub’s forehead. “Where does it hurt?”
