Chapter 166 A Dangerous Request
Matthew had sunk completely into the pleasure of taking care
He fed Zachary a spoonful, then wiped his mouth.
Another spoonful, then his hand slipped over Zachary’s belly.
One more spoonful, then his fingers brushed along Zachary’s tail.
Zachary sat there and endured it.
his mate.

There was no point fighting him over every little touch. If he pushed Matthew away now, Matthew would only find another chance to make up for it later.
Once the bowl was empty, Matthew’s palm moved over the lynx’s soft stomach. “Are you full?”
Zachary noticed the look in Mo
That expression was far to
familiar.
eyes, and his für almost stood on end.
He immediately gave a crisp little meow, making it very clear that he was full and could not eat another bite.
Luckily, Matthew only rubbed his belly for a moment and did nothing worse.
Soon, the three of them left the cave and headed toward the center of the tribe beneath the light falling
snow.
Matthew had proper work to do there.
Jaden and Zachary were only there to join the fun.
Being in beast form was actually convenient in weather like this. Zachary did not need to wrap himself in thick layers of clothing, and the cold wind did not make him tremble either.
By the time they arrived, the chief and Willis had already settled most of the trade. Members from both tribes were checking the goods, confirming the types, and counting the quantities.
Bruce walked over to Leslie with a friendly smile. “Little rabbit, have you decided what you want?”
Leslie’s ears slowly turned pink. He lowered his gaze and answered softly, “My brother will tell you later.”
Willis had worked hard for their tribe, so Leslie wanted his brother to choose something for himself.
Bruce nodded. “All right.”
Leslie could not help sneaking another look at him.
Yael, Matthew, Kyle, and the others had also arrived. Since there was work to do, they naturally stepped forward to help.
After Willis finished arranging the trade goods, he gave Bruce a polite nod.

Bruce returned the gesture. “What would you like?”
“A beast hide,” Willis answered.
The image from yesterday returned to his mind. 77

Willis‘ tone stayed calm. “The silver–gray lynx your tribe hunted yesterday.”
Bruce paused. “We hunted a lynx?”
Willis explained patiently, “The one the black panther carried back. It must have died not long before that Its body was still soft.
Yael and Kyle happened to pass by at that moment.
Both of them paused simultaneously and exchanged a glance. Their voices rose in surprise. “Is he referring to Zachary?”
Willis still did not realize anything was wrong. “The fur is beautiful. I want to make clothing for Leslie.”
A lynx carried by a black panther? Bruce understood immediately. Who else could Willis be referring to besides Zachary?
With how much Matthew spoiled his mate, carrying Zachary on his back was already normal. If Zachary decided he wanted to sit on Matthew’s head, Matthew would probably lower himself first so Zachary could climb up more comfortably.
At first, the tribe had found the sight strange.
After seeing it often enough, no one reacted anymore.
Whenever Matthew walked slowly and carefully through the tribe, everyone knew Zachary was probably asleep on his back.
A black panther carrying a lynx had nearly become one of the tribe’s usual sights.
Willis noticed their strange expressions and grew more confused. “Is that not allowed? We can trade medicinal herbs for it.”
Yael and Kyle finally lost control.
They turned toward him, looking both amused and shocked. “You really have courage, asking for that.”
Willis frowned slightly, about to question them further.
Then a silver–gray lynx appeared in front of him.
Willis stared. “Wasn’t it dead?”
His confusion deepened. “Did your tribe bring it back to life?”

Bruce caught sight of Matthew nearby and quickly tried to stop him with a look.
Finished
Willis had not noticed the warning at all. He raised his hand and pointed directly at Zachary. “That is the lynx hide I want.”
“That is a sub–therian.”
“Whose skin are you asking for?”
Bruce and Matthew spoke at almost the same time.
Matthew’s expression turned terrifyingly cold.
The lynx in his arms looked just as shocked. My… my skin?He wants my skin?
Bruce rubbed his forehead. “This is a misunderstanding. It is only a misunderstanding.”
Yael and Kyle were clearly enjoying the chaos. They turned to Matthew, barely holding back their laughter.
“Zachary was asleep on your back yesterday, so they thought you had caught prey.”
Kyle added. “Now they want to trade for your lynx’s pelt.”
Matthew’s gaze sharpened until it felt like winter itself.
Willis finally sensed the danger and felt a chill creep up his spine.
Zachary found the situation ridiculous, though a little funny too.

Still, he silently decided he had to be more careful outside from now on. He really could not act as casually as he did at home.
“He is my mate,” Matthew stated sharply, his cold gaze full of deadly intent.
Zachary planted his paws against Matthew’s chest and added a firm “Awoo!”
Sensing danger, Willis took two steps back. “My apologies. I misunderstood.”
Bruce gave Donald a quick look, then turned back to Willis. “We have many hides available. I will have someone take you to choose another one.”
Yael patted Matthew’s back with a grin. “Zachary is too pretty. From now on, you had better keep both eyes on him.”
After that, Matthew truly kept Zachary within sight for the rest of the trade.
No matter where Zachary went, Matthew followed close behind.
Zachary became so embarrassed that he wanted to hide his face under his paws.
As noon drew closer, the snow fell harder. The wind grew sharper, and the temperature dropped again.
Willis looked at Leslie, who was trembling from the cold, and worry entered his eyes.

Chapter 166 A Dangerous Request
“Willis. I am fine.” Leslie reassured him in a sensible voice.
Rabbit therians had large rabbit forms, yet traveling through deep snow while carrying heavy goods was still difficult for them.
The chief noticed their condition and spoke up. “Stay until the snow stops.”
The Rabbit Tribe members thanked him and remained with the Black Panther Tribe for the time being.
With the new herbs in hand, Bruce became full of energy again.
He buried himself in making different medicines, testing one thing after another. Sometimes he became so focused that he forgot to cook, and sometimes he simply skipped eating altogether.
