Furious mate

Ever since Ren fell down from the cliff and Mar couldn't find her with everyone, his been looking agitated. Nobody wants to go near him unless they have any news regarding Ren.

"Chief, we have been looking since the other day but couldn't find Ren. Everyone is so tired. They wish to go back to their mates, too." Agni hesitated but spoke. "Do you think she fell off and some wild beast took her body?"

Mar got really angry and shouted at him. "She is not dead. Do you even see any signs of blood anywhere? If everyone is tired of helping to find her, you can all go. I'm going to stay here and look for her by myself."

Agni got shocked to see how angry their chief is. They have never seen him angry, no matter what the circumstances are before. "I'm sorry, chief. Please don't be angry. We all wanted to help you. But we all need rest, and you need to rest too. Some of the men here have mates to take care of, but we are here to help you find her. Please don't be like this."

Mar returned to his senses and apologized. "I'm sorry, I am just really worried about Ren, and I really don't know what to do. I'm so desperate right now. I hope you can understand."

"We all know, chief. You don't have to worry. I will let some of the men return to take care of their mate and rest a little, and I will ask them to come back as soon as needed. Me and Bon, on the other hand, are staying to help you."

"Thank you, Agni. Let them go home. Those who want to stay can stay. Tell them I'm grateful for their help."

Agni is about to leave, but then Bon went to them, shouting.

"Chief, I found something. Look at this." Handed over a big bird feather.

Everyone gathered him around Bon to take a look at what he had on his hand.

Mar smells the feather, "This is a feather from a bird beast. Where did you find this Bon?"

"I found it up there near where Ren fell, chief. Do you think that maybe those bastards bird beast kidnapped her?

Mar got really furious hearing those words from Bon. "You must be right, seeing that we can't find her anywhere here. They must have taken Ren for sure. Call all of our men from the village, we will attack their nest and bring back Ren. We will make sure they will remember not messing with the tiger beasts again."

Everyone shouted with their fist in the air, "Woahhhh, kill those bastards."

Agni is trying to calm Mar down, "Wait, chief, we must not come into conclusions. There must be a reason for this. Besides, this place is actually their hunting ground. It's only normal to find bird beast feather in here."

Mar looked Agni in the eyes, "Yes, it's normal to find their feather here, but not with the scent of Ren."

Mar handed over the feather to Agni.

When Agni smelled the feather, he knew exactly that Mar was right as he was with them for a day, and he knew what her scent was. She smelled differently from other females from the villages, including Ivy. He understands now that Mar has a reason to be furious. Anyone will kill for their mates.

Out of words to calm Mar, he now knows that he can't persuade him. "Okay then, chief. Tell us what we need to do. We will follow you no matter what.
