The meeting with the mountain lion had him on edge. Not for himself, but for Mystic and her family. The fact that the man just blew them off caused his fur to bristle. He would bare his fangs at him. He wasn’t just thinking he was brave enough to protect Mystic, he would if it came down to it. He would fight his hardest to defend her from any danger. At any cost, even his own life, he would protect her. He hated seeing her like this, and the threat that the mountain lion spoke lingered in his ears.
He would reach out to Mystic then, gently nuzzling her shoulder. He hated to see her like this. To know that she was hurting. He would breathe out with a sigh, speaking up to her. “If he dares try to return we’ll all take care of him... I promise.” He wanted to see her smiling again, not on edge. “I can walk you back to your family if you want... If that will make you feel safer.” The young man would offer.
