Silver Wolf tribe
Sally sat on the edge of the bed, her fingers twisting nervously in her lap. "I just... I don't know, Nathan. It's like this weird feeling in my chest, like something's missing. And it's not just Lucas, it's... everything."
Nathan's brow furrowed as he sat beside her, concern etched on his face. "Everything? What do you mean, Sal?"
Sally sighed, her gaze dropping to the floor. "I mean, yeah, I miss Lucas. But it's more than that. It's like... like I'm worried about Kyra too. And I don't even know why."
Nathan's expression softened as he reached out to gently lift her chin, meeting her eyes. "Hey, it's okay. Whatever it is, we'll figure it out together, alright?"
Sally managed a weak smile, leaning into his touch. "Yeah, you're right. Thanks, Nathan."
But as Nathan watched her, a flicker of doubt crossed his mind. "Sally, be honest with me. Do you... do you have feelings for Lucas?"
Sally's eyes widened in surprise. "What? No, of course not! I mean, he's like a brother to me, Nathan. You know that."
Nathan's jaw clenched, his gaze hardening. "Yeah, I know. It's just... with everything going on, I can't help but wonder."
Sally reached for his hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. "I promise, Nathan. I like you. Lucas is just like a brother to me."
Nathan forced a smile, though it didn't quite reach his eyes. "I trust you, Sally. Let's just focus on us, okay?"
But deep down, Nathan couldn't shake the feeling of unease. Seeing Lucas with Kyra only fueled his jealousy, igniting a bitter resentment within him.
'Why does he always have to be one step ahead?' he thought to himself, his fists clenching at his sides.
He broke through to rank 4 before him.
And when he mated with Sally, he wanted to make Lucas jealous, but who knew Lucas had found an even better female.
His eyes darkened... Lucas hasn't mated with Kyra.
If he gets rid of Kyra, Lucas will become lonely and sad for all his life.
It's even better if that snake has already eaten Lucas.

Vincent glared at Kyle, who shifted uncomfortably under his gaze and quickly averted his eyes from Kyra.
"Listen up, guys! Today, we're scouting out new land for our tribe. Some of you will stay behind to keep the females safe. And don't worry, the long-awaited tribe naming ceremony and party will be tomorrow night." Kyle spoke.
"Yay!" Everyone cheered with excitement as they began to chatter amongst themselves.
"Finally!! The party! I'm so happy!"
"Yeah, and I was so excited about what our tribe's name would be."
"I heard the boss already decided on a name and registered it in Beast City! But he's keeping it a secret until the party."
"I bet it's something cool like Snake Tribe or Feral Tribe. But I just can't wait, yahoo!"
Among them was Eden; he stood out from the groups as he stared at everything coldly.
He hated Vincent, seeing him admired by many. He wished he could take Vincent's place.
His gaze landed on a female. He decided that no matter what, he would get this female.
"Brother!" Little Toma cheerfully descended from the stairs, running.
"Be careful," Kyra and Vincent shouted together, as everyone stopped chatting.
Kyra looked at Vincent, who was also looking at her.
He looked away, his lips moistened by a flick of his tongue, his fists clenched in silent frustration. However, his icy facade melted slightly when Toma dashed towards him, embracing his legs.
"I also want to go, I waaant to gooo tooo" Toma pleaded, nuzzling against Vincent's legs, who effortlessly scooped him up into his arms.
"Sure," a small smile graced Vincent's handsome features, his piercing red eyes softening as he smiled.
"Oh, brother, put me down! I want to go to Kyra," Toma exclaimed eagerly, patting his brother's shoulder with chubby hands.
Vincent's smile vanished, and his gaze darkened as he glanced at Kyra.
"Little guy, do you even notice me?" Kyle spoke, his voice tinged with a hint of pouting, as he gently pinched Toma's cheeks.
"Uncle!" Toma shouted cutely.
Lucas was bored, observing the little guy with interest.
"Is he really that snake's brother?" he whispered to Jimmy, who nodded in response.
Kyra felt awkward sitting there, but then she suddenly felt a mild pain in her back, so she decided not to stand up.
What's happening to her?
