It was a given that a lot of tension and fear would follow her sudden request for everyone to hold and ready themselves for a fight. This was because most of the hunters and gatherers in the team had no previous fighting experience so while the journey had previously been all fun and conversations, it was now silent and dreaded.

All of them had witnessed the brutality and strength of mutated beasts before. Some of the younger men were shaking and quaking with fear but they did not want to be cowards so they stayed on.

"What is it?" Dorian asked his daughter as he scanned the area with his mental strength looking for danger.This content belongs to novelhulk.com, if the content is missing please go to novelhulk.com website to read the full content

"Severus senses something." she replied.

Severus suddenly dashed forward and he disappeared into the greenery of the forest. Naturally Scarlet went running after him and her father and Adler also went after her.

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm "Hold your positions." Adler shouted at the rest of the team as he was following his family into unknown danger.

Ahead of them, Scarlet was shouting at Severus in her mind to slow down but the only word the dog said back to her was 'meat.'

"What have you found?" she asked him.

She accidentally hit her toe against something and then she tripped and fell down. She landed face first on the ground and inhaled some dirt.

She could feel some pain in her hands and when she looked at them she noticed that she had a few scratches and on them.

"Are you okay?" her father quickly reached down and pulled her up.

"I just scratched my hands on some stones but I am okay." She replied. "I think something tripped me."

"Where is your dog?"

She looked around for any sight of Severus. She could feel him through their bond which was established with the contract so she knew that he was fine and close by.

"He is close." she answered. "But he is not moving, I think he has found something."

"Severus, do you have anymore suggestions?"

"Leave it to me." he replied arrogantly.

Then he proceeded to let out the loudest growl she had ever heard. It was so strong that the she could feel tremors in the ground. It sounded like a threat of war and order to obey.

The weird part was that nobody else but her seemed to have heard it. Dorian and Adler looked very normal.

"Did you hear that?" she asked them.

"Hear what?" Adler asked.

"Severus's growl."

"His little barks, yeah we heard that." Adler replied. "They are not going to help us in this situation."

Just as he was finishing his words, he saw the animals which were poised to attack calming down. All of a sudden they appeared to be less threatening. Other similar looking ones came out from behind the foliage, all behaving extremely docile.

"What's happening?" Adler asked.

Scarlet smiled and squatted down, she patted Severus's head and she kissed him suddenly. "Good boy."

Happy to receive all the praise, Severus lifted his head looking as proud as a peacock.

"Dad, these animals are called cattle. The male are called bulls and the female are called cows. Their children are calves. They are willing to follow us home."

She was very happy today, if domesticating mutated beasts was as simple as having Severus roar, her life had just become easier.

"Severus, I am going to prepare the best beef steak for you when we return home tonight. You deserve it so much."

"Now, let's go back now." Severus suggested. He broke into a leap and the animals followed him as if he was their new leader.

"Wait." she shouted but he was too far gone.
