It was already late at night. The tribe was quiet, and the moonlight fell softly on the ground. Most of the females were already asleep in the large shared cave.
Bai Lianhua, however, couldn't sleep. She stood outside, pacing back and forth, her face full of worry. The night wind brushed against her hair, but her heart was burning with unease.
She was far away from the cave now, standing near the edge of the forest. She looked around. Everything was silent.
"Why hasn't he come back yet?" She muttered under her breath.
Luo Chen had promised her that if everything went as planned, he would come to her tonight. But it was already midnight, and there was still no sign of him. Neither Luo Chen nor Su Qinglan had returned. Even Su Qinglan's beast husband was missing.
Her heart beat faster.
Did the plan fail?
Or… did something go wrong?
