Transmigrated to Raise Panther Cubs novel Chapter 107

Chapter 107 A Lazy Morning

“He’s still asleep.” Matthew flipped the meat over the fire.

“Still asleep?” Yael gave him a long, complicated look–then broke into a knowing smile. “Ah… well, more sleep is good. And Jaden? Out sharpening his claws again?”

Yael glanced toward the trees outside the cave.

“He’s sleeping too.”

“Also asleep?” Yael frowned, puzzled. “Did your whole family go out and play all night or something?”

Before he could finish, Jaden shuffled out, rubbing his eyes and yawning.

Taylor jogged over. “Jaden, you slept in today.”

“Yeah… I don’t know why, I’m just really tired.” Jaden tapped his head, trying to wake himself up.

The moment he’d opened his eyes that morning, he’d looked for Zachary. When he saw the empty spot beside him, he knew immediately–Alpha had come again.

Sneaky. Shady.

Didn’t act like an adult at all–always trying to steal Sire from him.

And when Sire asked about it, Alpha would play dumb, like he didn’t know anything.

Wouldn’t even let him say a word.

Totally unfair.

Lowering his gaze, he saw his clothes were perfectly in place.

Zachary let out a quiet sigh, guilt flooding him.

When he first came to this world, he’d judged Matthew unfairly, always on guard, always suspicious.

And now, he was the one crawling into Matthew’s bed.

Worse, Matthew just endured it every time without saying a word.

The guilt hit even harder.

Zachary threw off the blanket and got out of bed–but suddenly froze. He frowned slightly, wondering if he’d been eating too many chilies lately.

He’d better switch to a lighter diet. Some problems weren’t exactly easy to treat here.

“Sire, you’re awake!” Jaden had been sitting by the fire. Hearing movement, he hurried over.

Zachary looked out at the sunlight beyond the cave. “Jaden… what time is it?”

“It’s noon.” Jaden ladled out a bowl of congee that had been kept warm. “Sire, do you feel okay anywhere?

Zachary shook his head and sat down slowly on a stone stool. “Where’s your Alpha?”

“He went hunting.”

After finishing the congee, Zachary suddenly remembered his promise to the kids from yesterday. slapped his forehead and hurried outside.

At the cave entrance, he spotted several beast–hide bags, all open–each one packed full of chestnuts.

“Zachary!”

“You’re finally up!”

“We gathered a lot more chestnuts!”

The cubs swarmed around him, with even more stuffed bags piled nearby.

Taylor was among them, wiping sweat off his face. Seeing Zachary looking sigh of relief as Jaden.

“Sorry, I slept in today,” Zachary said sincerely.

The area outside the cave quickly grew lively.

Work made them thirsty, so Zachary brewed a pot of hawthorn berry tea. Once it cooled, it was tangy. sweet, and incredibly refreshing.

When the fragrant chestnut paste was ready, the cubs lined up to wash their hands, then let their imaginations run wild, shaping the paste into all sorts of designs.

Taylor even made a little cat head and handed it to Zachary.

He’d once seen Zachary in his lynx form–beautiful, but a little scary. He had bared his teeth and swiped at him.

The memory had left a lasting impression on his mind.

Soon, the chestnut cakes were done. Using leaves as plates, Zachary led the children into the sunlight for an afternoon snack.

Their cheeks puffed out as they ate, mumbling through full mouths, “So… so good… Mm… Really good…”

Jaden and Taylor took full advantage of their positions, sitting on either side of Zachary, ears perked up as they listened intently.

“Today, I’ll tell you a story about three little rabbits.”

The cubs sat in neat rows, curious. “Rabbits? From the Rabbit tribe?”

The Rabbit tribe?

Zachary couldn’t help smiling. This world really was something else.

He went along with it. “That’s right. Once upon a time, there were three little rabbits. Their names were One, Two, and Three… Rabbit One built a house out of straw, Rabbit Two built one out of wood, and Rabbit Three built one out of stone…”
