He didn't like the feeling of standing in the dark while knowing something dangerous was quietly approaching.
It had been a very long time since Hei Bao had experienced such anxiety.
Not since the deaths of his mate and only son.
The realization left a bitter taste in his mouth.
Gou Feng was already struggling with the manifestation of becoming a half Lycan.
Now he was also being haunted by something unknown and foreign to him.
The two burdens had collided at the worst possible time.
Perhaps that was why Hei Bao found himself more concerned than he had ever expected.
He had protected countless members of his clan throughout the years, led the Lycans through countless crises without allowing emotion to cloud his judgment, yet none of them had ever unsettled him like this.
Perhaps it was because he had been the one to save him.
The child he had rescued from the streets and raised with his own hands had quietly become part of his own life long ago.
