I never realized how thick-skinned Caden could be.
Seeing my silence, Caden tightened his grip on my hand just a bit. "Don't forget, you promised me. No backing out." I caressed his hand. "Yes, I promised you. I won't back out. But for now, we need to find a safe place." With Caden waking up and looking slightly better, my heart finally began to feel a bit more at ease. His illness mainly stemmed from seawater causing his wounds to becinflamed and giving him a high fever. Physical measures alone wouldn't bring down the fever, especially since the temperature outside had dropped. The blazing sun beat down on the beach, unbearable even for a healthy person, let alone Caden with his high fever. What made it worse was that I had no medical supplies, and I was growing increasingly anxious.
After thinking for a moment, I decided to find a safe place for Caden first, then search the island for herbs to lower his fever. I had studied medicine with a respected werewolf doctor back in Frostmoore, so I knew a bit about herbs.
"Caden, can you walk?" I looked into the distance, wanting to search the forest for herbs, but I was worried about leaving Caden alone here.

Unintentionally, his large hand brushed against my soft chest.
A shock of sensation ran through me, and my face instantly flushed.
I paused, glaring at Caden. "Can't you behave?" Caden's lips curved into a faint smile. "Are you feeling shy?" I sighed, pressing my lips together, and changed the subject. "Watch your step, be careful." It took a significant effort to get Caden under a large tree. I had asked Freya to scout this spot earlier; the thick canopy provided shade from the sun, and it was both dry and safe.
Gently, I helped Caden sit and lean against the tree trunk.
"Caden, rest here for a bit. I'm going to look around for sherbs," I said.
"Alright." Caden nodded slightly.
His complexion appeared better. Even if he wasn't as robust as an Alpha, he was still the heir apparent, with a physique that was not to be underestimated.

It sounded like running water! The noise seemed to be coming from within the forest. There might be a water source there! Excitedly, I followed the sound and soon cupon a stream.
Fantastic! I rushed to the stream's edge, cupping my hands to drink the water in big gulps. After drinking my fill, I felt much better.
As I stood up, I noticed several fruit trees on the opposite bank, laden with orange fruits that resembled tangerines.
I crossed the stream quickly, plucked a fruit, and sniffed it cautiously.
It was indeed a tangerine.

It seemed like fate was favoring us.
With water and tangerines found surviving on the island wouldn't be a problem.
I quickly picked several tangerines and started to make my way back still keeping an eye out for herbs. Unfortunately, I didn't find any useful ones. I decided to get sfruit to Caden first to replenish his energy.
Following my marks, I returned to the large tree where I had left Caden.
But as I approached, I saw no one there.
Caden was gone!
My heart leaped into my throat.
Caden was in such bad shape he could barely stand. How could he just vanish? Did something happen to him? Panic surged throughas I ran over, shouting, "Caden! Caden! Where are you?" mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
