After a few more peaceful days in the Fox Clan's territory, Xin Feng confirmed that they were, for the moment, untouched by the turmoil outside. He then walked over to Bai Wanwan, who was sitting by the window, basking in the sun and gently stroking her belly.
"Wanwan," he said, his voice gentle but tinged with a subtle worry. "Things in the Fox Clan seem stable for now, but we shouldn't stay too long. Let's leave for the Tiger Clan in a couple of days. I can't rest easy with you giving birth out here."
Their territory had better facilities and was more secure—far safer than the Fox Clan's.
Bai Wanwan nodded, but her gaze lingered on the Fox Clan cubs playing outside and the busy clanspeople. "Yes, we should go back," she mused. "But..."
"What is it?" Xin Feng keenly sensed the hesitation in her voice. He didn't press her, simply taking her hand gently and waiting in silence.
