It was going to be dusk soon, and even the women who collected food, from the Cloud tribe were heading back to their caves.

Daisy still sat there, staring at the gap between the two mountains, at the mountain pass. Wolf’s aunt had said, every day, after Wolf finished hunting he was guaranteed to return from there.

After a while, finally, there were several people coming from the mountain pass. After carefully recognizing the posture of one of them, Daisy knew that it must be Wolf. She couldn’t help but rejoice in her heart. It took so long, and finally there was no more wait. The deer was coming home!

It seemed Daisy didn’t care about Wolf’s return but the return of the deer.

“Wolf!” Daisy screamed his name and cheerfully greeted him.

Wolf had three other people, all of them were empty-handed, and their expressions were tired. When they saw the charming Daisy, their eyes suddenly brightened.

The three of them knew that Daisy used to be their bosses mate.

"What are you doing?" Wolf stopped and asked with a frown.

"Wolf, I..... I am….. I am pregnant!" Daisy replied shyly,

Daisy’s eyes inadvertently glanced at the Wolf to see his reaction, and also at the bare deer ribs that were tied around his waist.

She remembered that a few days ago she had seen Wolf on her way to collect food. He was dragging an animal carcass along with him. Wolf was regarding it as a treasure. He had said that he had found a dead deer under a cliff. Most of the deer were minced but he felt that this thing could be used in some places and so brought it back with him to his tribe.

If she asks directly, Wolf will not give her, not to mention the fact that they have been separated for more than a month.

"What!!" Wolf screamed and jumped back a few steps.

"You....you…you are pregnant?" His eyes widened, and the news surprised him! Daisy had been sleeping with him for half a year and now she was finally knocked up after so long!

"Of course, you did it!" Daisy replied back.

Like most primitive people, Wolf had not much of a heart to refuse his possible child. He took a long while and reacted. His face slowly smiled.

"I did it??...." he said suspiciously.

"Okay, don't just stand there, let's go to the old place, I have something to say to you!" Daisy took the opportunity to hold his arm.

At first, Wolf seemed to be hesitant. It seemed like something was going on. Daisy was a little nervous, for fear that her own words might trip her. She was not that good at lying.

"Wolf, how are you?" Daisy asked changing the topic.

Wolf had a pause, and while his heart was swaying, holding Daisy they went to a remote area.

Wolf himself had a lot going on in his own mind.

Since becoming one of the candidates for the tribal leader, he had felt pressured!

Just yesterday, when he returned to the cave with his hands empty again, the tribe looked at him with a sullen look. He hoped that he could hunt the prey and beat others at the tribal festival. Only he didn’t expect that he would fail to hunt his prey.

There were a few people, especially leopard-skin wearing bastard and even a few other small timers who had publicly expressed their doubts about his ability. Leopard had even shown his disdain openly about his leadership qualities.

When Wolf got wind of such words against him, he had beaten the other person into a bloody pulp. He had to show his might.

“His mother! Do they think hunting is like trying to catch a frog by the river? It’s not the same when hunting beasts, tigers, and leopards. Can I outrun wild boars, antelopes, and elk on both my legs? Don’t even talk about those rabbits! It’s hard to hunt bigger game than animal carcass or leftovers” Wolf ranted about his troubles to Daisy.

However, not every day could he find some leftovers from bigger beast doing their hunts.

“What can I do now in the cave? Let the competitors see me as a joke? As a temporary leader, once the inspection period is over, I can lose my position.” Wolf continued his rant to Daisy as they laid side by side on a pile of hay. They were currently at the cave where they used to meet.

"Wolf, between me and the leader's seat, if you choose one, which one do you choose?" Daisy stroking the chest of Wolf asked with a small voice.

Wolf blurted out:

"Of course it is the leader’s seat!"

Daisy felt her heart pained when she heard his response and felt hateful.

‘This bastard! Wants nothing more but play with even more women after becoming a leader and of course, forget all about me!’

Seeing that Daisy did not reply, Wolf immediately realized that he was wrong, and quickly defended. Women that gave birth held importance.

"Daisy, you know, I don't mean that I mean..."

Daisy smiled and quickly blocked his mouth.

He untied his animal skin, and he rolled up and pressed Daisy under his body.

On one side, Wolf needed to release the pressure he held within. On the other side, Daisy was trying to figure out a way. She thought after several rounds, this person would fall asleep on the haystack and wouldn’t wake up.

……

…

.

Daisy’s mouth had a sneer.

“You bastard can go find another woman to play with, even your own mother but I don’t care about you anymore! It’s good that I actually was not pregnant” Daisy said to the sleeping Wolf.

She took away the deer ribs and meat Wolf had inside his cave and picked herself without any hesitation. She walked out of the cave and made her way back to her home.

Today happened to be a full moon night so the moonlight was bright outside. Everything held a color of silver as Daisy’s heartfelt extremely light and happy.

Not because of sleeping with Wolf back at the cave, but she finally completed the task entrusted to her by Light!

‘Light brother must be waiting anxiously. I have to go back earlier. Give him the deer early.’

Thinking about Light’s reaction when he sees the deer she brings back, Daisy felt unspeakable joy.

‘Before, I have never had the experience of going alone and so far at night. I don’t know what to expect.”

Tonight, she had no feeling of fear. All she wanted was to go back and see Light and Night sister.

After panting for a long way, she came to the front of the swamp.

‘If I cross the swamp from here, it will save a lot of time. Don't worry, anyway, Night sister and I often play in water so it’s no different …. I hope’

Daisy hesitated for a moment but the thought of going through a shorter road and her heart wanting to get back quicker made her step into the swamp.

The swamp water at night was a bit cold, and as Daisy gradually entered the depths of the swamp, the water slowly came up to her shoulders.

Her feet were slowing walking underwater and she had already reached the middle of the swap.

On the calm water, there was only the sound of her body moving and the circular ripples she made. The image of the moon was wavering on the water. Daisy continued forward in silence.

Daisy added more force to her feet in hopes to get to the other side of the swamp as soon as possible.

But at this time, one of her feet missed and stepped into soft mud, making her lose her footing.

Daisy’s heart shook. The first instinct was to quickly pull her foot out of the mire, but the mud at the bottom of the swamp was slippery enough that she couldn’t get a firm holding. Daisy’s feet were deeply trapped in the mire and her body started to sink down bit by bit.
