Capítulo 89: Dangers of the Elven Forest: A Wild Beast 4

"Are you okay? Your face is a bit red. Did I startle you that much?" He didn't reply, she moved closer to him, concerned by his sudden behaviour.

"Let's head back."

Without waiting for her to answer, Jareth walked away. She was confused with what was happening but brushed it off and followed him back.

He heard her footsteps from behind and his gaze traveled to the lower part of his body. The bulge was still there. He wondered why it wouldn't listen to him and just stay down. At this point she was going to see it.

He walked briskly to where they had camped and unfortunately for him, Astrid chased after him as well.

When they got back, White-Fire and its cub were awake. The little beast ran up to them as it noticed their presence. Jareth bent down and patted its head, then walked away. It jumped into Astrid's waiting arms and nuzzled itself there.
