Chapter 161 The Hunt Begins

Jaden slipped inside to grab some dried persimmons for Taylor. The two cubs didn’t cause any trouble at all -they simply settled beside the boulder, quietly munching away while keeping their eyes fixed on the lynx.

“Meow…” Zachary stretched lazily, letting out a long, satisfied sound. As he rolled over, he got careless for a second and nearly slid off the edge of the rock. Instinct kicked in–being a feline helped–he twisted mid-

motion and pulled himself right back up on him if he fell.

“Sire!” Jaden already had his arm out, ready to catch him if he fell.

Taylor shot up in excitement. “Zachary, you’re finally awake!”

Zachary felt a burst of happiness seeing them too. He sprang lightly down beside the two kids and affectionately rubbed his head against them.

Taylor asked eagerly, “Zachary, do you want to come out and play with us?

“Logan and Caesar caught some long–eared beasts behind the mountain yesterday. Jaden and I were planning to go check it out.”

That immediately caught Zachary’s attention.

Right, I’m a lynx now.

He flexed, unsheathing the hidden claws in his fluffy paws and baring his sharp teeth in a proud, almost playful grin.

Without hesitation, all three of them were on the same wavelength and headed

together.

The mountain snow still hadn’t melted, blanketing everything in white.

A lynx and two little black panthers raced side by side across the snowy ground, their paws crunching as they left an uneven trail of prints behind them.

Even though they claimed they were hunting, they looked more like a group of kids out playing.

Taylor kept diving headfirst into soft snowbanks with exaggerated crashes, laughing every time the powder sprayed back onto Jaden’s face and made him purr in protest.

Zachary was even more chaotic. Even in beast form, he scooped up snow with his paws, packed it into balls, and flung them at the two cubs.

Jaden, who was usually calm and serious, eventually got dragged into it. After enough teasing from Zachary

and Taylor, the stoic little panther finally gave up and started rolling around in the snow with them.

“Awoo!” Taylor wagged his tail as he launched himself straight into Zachary

“Meow!” Zachary grinned, wrapping his paws around the cub’s head before hooking a paw around Jaden and yanking him down again just as he stood up.

Jaden let out a soft “Awoo,” looking dazed but not upset.

Zachary leaned in and licked both of their heads. The two cubs squinted in pure contentment, their voices turning soft and relaxed.

Even with different species and instincts, none of that mattered–they played like they’d known each other forever.

Taylor’s expression tightened as he lowered his body, pressing himself closer to the ground and trying to blend into the snow while inching toward the prey.

Zachary tilted his head, confused for a moment, still not fully catching on to what they were doing.

The black panther’s dark fur stood out starkly against the white snow, making it impossible to stay hidden. Before the two cubs could even close in, the gray rabbit caught on to the danger, twitching for a split second before darting straight into the thicket.

Taylor chased after it instantly, while Jaden moved to cut it off from the side. Their coordination was smooth and practiced.

Zachary didn’t hesitate either and charged after them.

Soon, the three of them–lynx and black panthers–were locked in a fierce struggle with snowy forest floor.

Zachary, still new to this body, wasn’t exactly skilled yet. He mostly ran on instinct, occasionally misstepping or failing to slow down in time.

Luckily, Jaden had clearly inherited strong hunting instincts. He sprinted ahead through a shortcut, then leapt in a sharp arc to block the rabbit’s escape and slammed it down with precise claws.

Zachary wasn’t exactly useful in a technical sense, but he made up for it with pure enthusiasm. He ran full speed, completely immersed, even letting out an excited “Ah!” at one point.

Taylor kept glancing back at him.

Does he really enjoy this that much?

The two cubs exchanged a look and silently decided they’d let Zachary feel what it was like to actually catch prey himself.

After Jaden finished the kill bite, he immediately started scanning for more movement in the area.

Taylor, meanwhile, stayed close to Zachary, making sure he didn’t fall behind.

Before long, they spotted another gray rabbit nearby. It looked almost identical to the first one–likely from the same litter.

Jaden paused and glanced back, signaling silently.

Taylor immediately understood. He tapped Zachary’s leg gently with a paw and nodded toward where Jaden was looking.

The lynx had sharp eyesight, and Zachary reacted almost instinctively. His body dropped lower to the ground, muscles tensing as he slipped into a focused hunting stance.

He actually looked pretty convincing.

To Taylor, he looked absolutely cool.

Jaden saw him through a similar filter, though more like “an adorably fragile adult he had to protect.” Jaden saw him through a sinile filter, though more

That was exactly why Jaden had chosen something easy and harmless as prey.

Zachary crept forward low to the ground, his fur blending into the snowy landscape under the sunlight.

From both sides, Jaden and Taylor flanked the area quietly, ready to spring the moment the rabbit moved

Zachary could barely contain his excitement. He almost let out another sound as he gathered strength in his hind legs.

Then he launched.

His energy was explosive as he pushed off the snow, body arcing through the air in a clean, powerful leap.

The two black panthers looked up at the same time, tracking him.

For a moment, it felt like everything slowed down–like a cinematic shot with dramatic music swelling in the background.
