Xavier who was enjoying Lyra’s soft fingers between his fur jolted in his place before standing on fours. Then he narrowed his gaze at a particular spot as his ears perked up trying to catch on even the smallest movements.

Meanwhile, Lyra was surprised due to his sudden actions and got up from the ground while dusting off the dust that might have gotten on her clothes.

"Your majesty?" before she could say more, Xavier’s teeth tugged on her skirt bringing her behind him. He took a protective stance in front of her and bared his fangs. This made even Lyra worried. She looked in a certain direction following his line of sight and before she could concentrate on what was happening, the danger stood facing them.

A pack of grey wolves stepped out of the bushes before snarling at them. Showing off their large canine teeth, the wolves started to take a threatening step toward them.

Lyra’s breath hitched due to dread. She hoped for the wolves to be beastman....or else, they were done today.

But Lyra’s wishful hope turned futile because Xavier recognized the wolves as soon as he caught sight of them. ’Wild wolves’ were ordinary grey wolves that dwelled in the forest. It was not that difficult for him to subdue them but the problem here was keeping this pretty female safe while he fought. Even if he used his powers, facing a pack of well-versed wolves alone was disadvantageous on his side. The forest that they were currently in was unfamiliar to Xavier whereas, for the wolves, this was where they lived. He had never navigated here before much less fight.

So he chose the next best option he could think about. Using his powers, he created an ice barrier separating themselves from the wolves before he turned to Lyra. Knowing well about her lack of understanding, he forcefully yanked her over his back by holding her skirt between his teeth.

"Ah!" Lyra yelped in surprise and felt him starting to move forward. She barely managed to steady herself by holding on to his neck for her dear life as he sprinted along the forest.
