Chapter 6: 6 Save My Mate
"Eat some strawberries."
"Fruits are rare and are specifically for the females. You should save them for yourself and not waste them on me."
"You're my family, and you're the most important to me! Eat them please!"
Andrew was taken aback.
He gazed at Olivia's face, whose delicate features were warm and vivid in the light of the fire.
A warm feeling flowed into his heart.
Olivia blushed under his gaze. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Andrew murmured, "I've never seen a female as gentle as you."
Females were indeed rare. Andrew had seen several females before, all of whom were spoiled and arrogant, considering others' lives unimportant while only worrying about their own happiness. Their indifference made Andrew avoid them like the plague.
But the young female in front of him was totally different.
She was very caring and compassionate.
Andrew couldn't help but move closer, nuzzling her with his head. "I'm so lucky to meet you."
Olivia giggled as she felt his tickling. "Don't move around like that! I still need to bandage your wounds!"
She used a bone knife to cut the animal skin into long strips, carefully wrapping them around Andrew's wounds.
"Does it still hurt?"
"Much better."
"That's good!" Olivia smiled with relief.
She took out the needles and thread she had bought at the market during the day and started making shoes.
After a long time of fussing, she still couldn't make a successful pair and ended up pricking her fingers with the bone needle, causing them to bleed.
Andrew felt heartbroken.
He immediately changed back into human form and took the needle and animal skin from her. "Let me try it."
"But you still have a wound on your hand." Olivia hesitated.
"It's just a small wound and won't interfere with doing needlework."
He worked quickly, cutting the animal skin and threading the needle with ease, soon completing two pairs of delicate and cute little leather shoes.
To add comfort, he even added three layers of animal skin to the soles.
"Try them on."
Olivia immediately put them on her feet and hopped around excitedly. "They are cute and very comfortable."
Andrew nodded, satisfied.
"Now your feet will not be hurt by shells or bones anymore."
"Why don't you make a pair for yourself?"
"My skin is thick, and I can walk everywhere without worrying about being hurt. Plus, I often need to transform, so it would be inconvenient to wear shoes. I'll just keep my feet bare."
Olivia imagined Andrew wearing leather shoes transforming and giggling.
Olivia felt tired.
She leaned against Andrew and covered herself with his tail, the warmth enveloping her and allowing her to sleep peacefully.
Andrew rested his head on his front paws, gazing at the sleeping Olivia with tenderness in his azure eyes.
As Olivia slept, drowsily, she suddenly felt a warm flow gushing out from below.
This feeling was very familiar.
She opened her eyes.
A troubling premonition struck her heart.
She was on her period!
Olivia quickly pushed away the wolf's tail and saw it was all blood!
Shit!
But in this world, there were no tampons. How could she deal with her period?
Would she have to put animal skin or leaves to absorb the blood?
Andrew smelled the tangy sweetness of blood in the air and opened his eyes, following the smell and seeing the blood in Olivia's hand, his face paling in shock.
"You're injured!" Andrew exclaimed.
Olivia blushed furiously, her voice trembling as she tried to explain, "I'm not injured!"
"You are injured! You're bleeding!" Andrew quickly transformed into his human form.
He lifted her up and noticed that her leather skirt was stained with blood.
So much blood had flowed. Olivia must be seriously injured!
Andrew stripped off her animal skin skirt and discovered that the blood was flowing from between her legs.
Ignoring Olivia's struggles, he forcibly spread her legs apart to carefully examine the bleeding wound.
Olivia was embarrassed and furious. "Let go of me! I really am not injured. It's a normal occurrence. Just let me lie quietly for a few days! I'm on my period."
But Andrew refused to believe her words.
He stubbornly believed that Olivia was seriously injured.
His face turned pale with worry, and his azure eyes were filled with anxiety and fear.
When Andrew was still a minor, his older brother had died from an injury. He had seen his brother lying in a pool of blood, gradually stiffening, and the grief of losing a loved one almost drove him to the brink of collapse.
Now, his mate was also injured, bleeding.
Would she also die like her older brother?
Andrew didn't dare to think about it. He wrapped Olivia's body with animal skin and then gently picked her up.
"Don't be afraid. I'll take you to see a doctor. I won't let you die!"
Olivia felt extremely awkward.
She was just having her period, yet how did Andrew jump to the conclusion of death?
She had never heard of any women dying from their period!
Meanwhile, doctor Bert was treating Alpha Bill's wounds.
Bill was tall with short silver hair and deep emerald eyes, giving him a wild and sharp appearance. Despite the big wound on his body, it couldn't conceal his domineering aura.
He was like a poisoned dagger, ready to strike at any moment.
As Bert applied medicine to his wounds, he muttered, "Bill, why can't you take care of yourself better? How many times have you been injured recently? This is the sixth time, right? You've almost used up all my herbs."
"I will go gather herbs for you."
Bert glared at him. "You know I'm not concerned about the herbs. You've already grown up. Why not find a mate as soon as possible, stop venting your excessive energy on hunting."
Bill frowned slightly, appearing impatient. "I hate females."
Not to mention finding himself a mate, just the sight of a female made him feel disgusted.
Those selfish and indulgent females could do nothing except bear children.
They were weak and incompetent, greedy and lazy, getting everything they wanted by lying in bed with their legs spread open.
Rather than becoming a female's slave, Bill would rather remain single for the rest of his life!
Bert tried to counsel him earnestly, "I know you hate females because of your father's death, but you can't generalize because not all females are like your mother."
"Enough! I don't want to hear anything about her anymore!" Bill stood up abruptly, his eyes filled with disgust. "Just thinking about her makes me sick!"
After uttering those words, he stormed out aggressively.
"Your wound isn't bandaged yet. Come back here!" Bert was about to chase after him when Andrew burst in carrying Olivia.
"Doctor Bert, please save my mate! She's bleeding!"
