Chapter 344 Reunited with Davy
The moment Claire heard that, she knew Davy had to be here!

The heavy stone in her chest finally dropped. She rushed forward and grabbed Ruby’s hand, soft, smooth, and pleasantly fragrant.

low was she supposed to repay a life-saving debt like that?
Claire dug through her storage space, coming up empty on anything appropriate.
Hot weapons ran too advanced to risk showing.
Ruby sat at Level 3 already, no need for leveling herbs.
In the end, Claire could only pretend to pull a ruby from her fur tunic, pressing it into Ruby’s palm.
“This little gift isn’t much, but please take it.”
Ruby studied the ruby and fell for it instantly. She tossed it lightly in her hand and said, “I like this quite a lot. Saving your beast mate was just something we did in passing, and it wasn’t even me who did it, my beast mate handled that. Yet you tracked us down in under a day and brought a gift this generous! Why not leave your beast mate with me a while longer, let him recover before heading back?”
Claire understood Ruby meant no harm, but the ruby held little real use for her. If anything, Claire felt the gift was too small!
So she said quickly, “No, no. I’ll take him now. I won’t burden you any further!”
“Hehehe. Not worried he’ll fall for me if he stays too long?”
Ruby covered her mouth while laughing softly.
“No, not at all. Davy’s the most straightforward person there is. Once he sets his mind on something, he never wavers. No wandering thoughts in him,” Claire said.
Ruby turned, hips swaying, heading not back toward the vine sphere but in another direction entirely.

Zane turned, pressing her face against his chest, murmuring against her ear. “Don’t look.”
The more he insisted, the more her curiosity spiked.
What could possibly make Zane this on edge?
Were Davy’s injuries truly that horrific?
Finished
While her imagination spiraled, Ruby, watching the whole exchange, was already shaking with laughter shoulders trembling.
“I don’t mind her seeing my beast mates, but you, silver haired one, sure are wound up tight.”
Zane shot Ruby a cold glance.
Recalling that half smile she’d worn the entire walk over, it clicked. She’d done this deliberately. Her beast mates liked wandering around bare, and she’d never bothered warning Claire ahead of tirne.
Claire, nearly frantic, almost clawed at him.
“Zane, let me see. Is Davy-”
Before she could finish, Davy’s deep, startled voice rang out. “Sweetheart! Zane! What are you two doing here?”
He forced himself upright and strode toward Claire.
A male beastfolk beside him, still holding a freshly mashed bowl of medicinal juice, scrambled to pull him back. “Sit down! Your wounds are serious, the medicine’s not even applied yet!”
Hearing that, Claire could hardly stay hidden in Zane’s arms any longer. She poked her head out at once to look.
She saw Davy striding toward her. He wore nothing but a hide skirt his body scarred with claw marks and torn open by sharp bird beak wounds.
Zane’s grip loosened slightly, and Claire seized the moment, running straight for Davy.
The instant she reached him, Davy scooped her up, holding her tight against his chest.
