Summer Ford's face turned pale with shock, and she reflexively stepped back a few steps, trying to avoid it. However, her foot slipped.
The mountain path was narrow and steep to begin with, and where she stood was next to a slope.
This slip resulted in her body tipping downward, and she stumbled as she rolled down the slope.
"Ah!" A scream echoed through the mountain, but it was drowned out by the gunshots from the shooting range, and no one heard it.
The enormous creature squatted at the spot where she fell, staring at the direction where she disappeared for a while, howling twice, then swaying its body towards the villa.
When it reached the door, Caleb Sterling walked straight out.
Upon seeing him, the creature, previously majestic, suddenly became as docile as a house cat.
It squatted at his feet, tugged at his trousers with its mouth, and rubbed its face against his.
