章 53: Cherish her

Shortly after searching, The vital sign led Xander to the north of the fox tribe.

The sky was nearly to turn dark, increasing him even more nervous. Noticing how the vital sign was pointing towards a deep forest not far from where he was standing.

Stepping faster, his heart beating rapidly with anxiety. If he can't find Keira before the sun goes down, it will be treacherous for her as numerous vile predators were active at night, turning the chances for a female to survive in a deep forest to almost zero.

The antler signal grew more emphatic, aimed at a tree not far from where Xander was standing. Seeing a pale back of a figure leaning against a tree, Those delicate fair arms and the long ebony hair that snuggled on those shoulders made him recognize it at first glance He then instantly rushed towards that tree.

The smell of blood spread throughout the area caused Xander's heart to squeeze and throb with anxiety. what was in front of him almost broke his heart, The figure of the female he was longing for was lying on the ground and drenched in scarlet blood.

A beautiful face that turned pale from a large amount of blood loss, with a scratch of dry blood stains on her cheeks, it was so heartbreaking to see her in this condition, coupled with the deep wound on her chest that made her condition even more worrisome.

Xander's trembling hands rushed over and put Keira's body into his embrace. Her current state was driving him crazy. 'Who could have hurt her this severely?'

Trembling fingers gently brushed the hair on the female's face. He could feel her breath, indicating that she wasn't dead yet, but was getting closer and closer to the dead door. It was a blessing that she was still alive despite losing so much blood, usually, people won't survive in this state. Keira was lucky that the bleeding had stopped before entering the life-threatening point Otherwise, she would have become a ghost by now.

Xander didn't wait further, he hurriedly picked her up and headed towards the Fox tribe.

The feeling as if being crushed in the chest by a stone, combined with the pain and torment of the entire body was truly unbearable. Together with this terrible headache, she felt like she has been hit by a compactor, Not sure if it was luck or not that she was still alive, Keira grumbled in frustration. Although she had regained consciousness, her body was so heavy and sore that it was difficult for her to get up.

Keira felt a warm liquid touch on her lips made her slowly open her eyes. She blurry saw the face of a long-haired male feeding her some kind of bitter decoction.

Using all her remaining strength, she pulled his hand. The sudden pull shocked Xander, leaning forward until his face was almost touching Keira's.

Keira narrowed her eyes to focus on the male face. Not sure if it was because of the effects of the wounds or because the room's darkness made her unable to see his face clearly.

His long hair looked familiar, she thought that the person in front of her was Arel. Many tears slowly streamed down her cheeks. She used her trembling hand to cup the male cheek.

"Where have you been.." Keira's sobbing voice coupled with tears filled in her eyes made the viewer heartache.

She was in so much pain and now the person she wanted to see the most was finally right in front of her. Even though her body was in this state, she still wish for Arel to be safe.

Xander cautiously pulled her into his embrace. If he could trade his life just for her to recover from the current torment, he would do it without hesitation.

Numerous tears drenched Xander's shoulders, the long sobbing caused the female nose and lips turned red. Keira's eyes were all swelling after all those tears.

Xander just came back to his sense. it's not right for her current wounded body to press herself on him like this, he quickly helped her to lean back down on the bed.

"I'm here .. you're safe.." Xander's gentle voice was shrouded in pain as he looked at the female, whose face was drenched in tears.

He leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead to soothe her. It was so gentle as if he was afraid that the female would break to pieces if he wasn't careful.

"Don't..go" Keira muttered softly. she's so scared and even terrified if he'll move just one step away from her. She now suffered from all these serious wounds and needed the person she trusted the most by her side.

As Xander saw her mournful expression, he felt as if his heart had been pinched with needles. She's so weak How many pains she had to endure with her small delicate figure.

He lay down next to Keira and carefully pulled her closer so that he wouldn't irritate the wounds.

A gentle embrace made Keira feel relieved. The suffering she had just encountered and was currently facing was not easy for her at all. Everything in this world's different from where she came and this made her realize that her life is always hanging on a thread if she is not wiser and stronger.

Keira raised her face from the male's broad chest and turned to look at him. Because her eyes were all swollen from crying, the sight she saw was blurry and fuzzy, but his gentle touch was what she felt familiar. Though her nose could smell only her wounded blood and couldn't get his unique scents it didn't make her suspect and thought that this male must be Arel, keira then placed a light kiss on his lips.

The kiss was light and weak, but it was full of love. Soft and sweet like a fluffy cloud floating on a flower petal.

Xander's eyes widened in surprise. This was the kiss from the female he desired. Although the kiss was light and brief, it was enough to make his mind wander.

The male heart was full of joy and hope. He passionately caressed her face as he thought If this's just a dream , then it was the sweetest dream that he would cherish.
