Unexpectedly, she began to tumble and fall. Ahead, there seemed to be a large rock.

Nyx caught a glimpse out of the corner of her eye, but her mind went blank, too late to process the information or avoid it. Instinctively, she curled into a ball.

She thought, 'This is bad!'

In a flash, Zayne held her tightly and adjusted their position midair, protecting the little rabbit in his arms and taking the impact himself. They tumbled together, rolling who knows how many times, until they finally came to a stop at the bottom.

Nyx struggled to get up, shaking her dizzy head and hurriedly asking, “Zayne, are you okay?”

"I'm fine," Snow Wolf said, his tough hide far more resilient than the little rabbit's. Though he was injured, it was nothing

serious.

He pawed at Nyx to confirm she was unharmed, then sighed in relief. Looking around, they realized they had ended up in a natural cave.

The cave entrance had been sealed by the collapsed snow, and the inside was pitch black. Without the night vision abilities of their beast form, they wouldn't be able to see anything.

Nyx took a deep breath, switched to her human form, and cautiously approached the entrance, pushing at the snow. It wouldn't budge, and she couldn't estimate how thick it was. They were stuck here.

She took another deep breath, pulling her cold, numb hands back, feeling helpless. The rumbling outside still echoed, and the avalanche clearly hadn't stopped.

Though they were trapped for now, this cave was a rare refuge from the avalanche, a small blessing amid the misfortune.

Zayne also switched to his human form and began picking up the scattered items from the ground, putting them back in the bamboo basket, and checking their supplies.

Their fur clothes were still intact, but some of their medicine was lost, and most of the food was gone. During their chaotic escape, much of it had fallen out of the basket.

Holding the remaining half of their supplies, Zayne frowned. This amount of food won't last more than a few days.

"Don't worry, once the avalanche stops, we'll figure out how to get out." Nyx remained relatively calm. There was always a way out; they were here to face the trial, and fate wouldn't let them die so easily.

They packed their things, and since the wind and snow outside hadn't stopped, they transformed back into beast form and cuddled together.

They didn't bring any fuel and couldn't start a fire to stay warm, so they had to keep their body heat this way. Nyx closed her eyes, her thoughts growing fuzzy. She didn't know how long she slept, but she heard Zayne calling her urgently, "Nyx!"

She groggily opened her eyes and met the worried gaze of her mate. Zayne, now in human form, held her and pressed a pill to her lips. “Take the medicine, please, take it.”

His gray-blue eyes were bloodshot, his eyes red with panic, and he was speaking incoherently. The little rabbit in his arms was burning hot, not sure if it was unconscious or asleep, occasionally twitching but couldn't be woken.

As the tribe's shaman, Zayne had seen many lives fade away like this. But he'd never been so scared.

The familiar feeling of discomfort swept over her, and Nyx felt like her breath was burning, her body shaking with cold. She fell ill again. She wasn't usually prone to illness, but it just so happened that she fell ill at the worst moment.

“I'm fine, just a little chilled, I'll be fine soon,” she murmured hoarsely, swallowing the pill, trying to reassure the anxious male.

Zayne's anxiety was still palpable. He carefully touched her forehead, constantly checking her temperature, hoping, despite knowing it was impossible, that her body temperature would return to normal any moment.

"Hurry up and transform into beast form," Nyx urged, "It's too cold here."

In human form, without thick fur, in this icy cave, heat was quickly lost, and even though his physical condition was excellent, he might not be able to withstand it.

Zayne quietly agreed but didn't immediately follow her request. He scooped some snow into a small clay pot, warmed it in his palms to melt it into water, and fed it to Nyx. Since they couldn't start a fire to boil water, this was the best they could

manage.

Nyx didn't mind. When she was a lion on the prairie, she drank river water every day, so drinking snowmelt wasn't a big deal for her. It would have been better to have boiled water, but given the situation and the harsh environment, everything was for survival.

"You should drink some too." She left half of the snowmelt for Zayne.

"No need, I'm not thirsty." Zayne continued to feed her.

Seeing his cracked lips, Nyx didn't believe him, urging him again with a soft paw against his chest, “Drink it.”

"I'll just eat some snow later." Zayne let her paw at him, feeling that she still had some energy, which slightly reassured him and eased his tension.

After some back-and-forth, Nyx couldn't win. "Then hurry up and transform into beast form. What if you fall ill too? Who would take care of me then?"

She said it sternly, her tone sharp. Zayne actually listened to her advice and immediately transformed into a Snow Wolf. Nyx was right; he couldn't fall ill. He still had to take care of Nyx and dig through the snow to get her out of there.

The cave fell silent. Nyx listened carefully to the sounds outside and felt that the avalanche seemed to have stopped. "How long have I been asleep?"

“About an afternoon.” Zayne hesitated. He wasn't sure. This was just his subjective guess. The entrance was blocked, and there was no daylight in the cave, no way to tell the time.

Staying in a place like this, even with plenty of food, could cause health problems at any moment. They needed to leave as soon as possible.

“You rest some more. I'll clear the snow.” Zayne wrapped Nyx tightly with layers of animal skin.

Wrapped in all the clothes, Nyx was turned into a round little ball, unable to move. She wanted to help, but she probably wouldn't be much help, so she just lay there obediently.

After another nap, Zayne was no longer beside her. “Zayne,” Nyx called softly, “Zayne.”

After calling twice, Snow Wolf immediately noticed and turned around, running toward her. His steps were unsteady, and despite trying to hide it, he still stumbled.

“You've been working the whole time?” Nyx asked in shock, staring at the large patch of snow that had been dug out at the cave entrance. She nudged Zayne's paw with her head.

As expected, it felt as cold as ice. He had lost his mind. The little rabbit exploded with fur, "Don't you care about your hands?"noveldrama

Once frostbite set in, it could really lead to disability. There would be no way to heal it properly.

Facing the angry mates, Snow Wolf dared not argue and lowered his head to accept the scolding. Nyx couldn't stay angry. She sighed in frustration, “Don't do this again next time."

She struggled to free herself and placed the fur, warmed by her body, over Snow Wolf's two front paws. "We will definitely get out of here."

Zayne's eyes trembled slightly, but he remained silent. He silently pulled the little rabbit into his arms, and when his hands regained feeling, he shifted to his human form. He took some food from the bamboo basket, broke it into small pieces, and fed her.

"You cat too.” Nyx ate a little, feeling less hungry, but stopped.

Their food was limited, and they had to ration it before leaving here. She didn't eat much normally and wasn't

working, so

he could eat a little less to let Zayne eat more.

"I've already eaten.” Zayne shook his head.

Nyx looked at him suspiciously. She didn't think Zayne would leave her to eat alone, and she couldn't see any flaws in his face, so she went to check the bamboo basket.

Even though she was sick, she wasn't confused and remembered the food count clearly. He couldn't fool her.

The little rabbit dug into the edge of the bamboo basket, peering inside. She carefully counted and found that there were indeed two pieces of meat missing.

She shook her ears and put aside her doubts. It seemed that Zayne must have been too hungry after working too much and didn't wait for her to eat with him.

"You eat more.” Zayne took the opportunity to feed her. "You're sick, you mustn't starve."

With coaxing and persuasion, Nyx filled her stomach. After eating two full meals and two doses of medicine, sleeping and resting for a few days, her illness seemed to have completely healed. Her drooping ears stood up again, and she was lively and energetic.

She wanted to change into her human form to help clear the snow, but Zayne, no matter what, wouldn't agree, afraid she might catch a cold again.

Unable to convince him, Nyx had no choice but to wander around the cave, exploring to see if she could find another exit. After being trapped for so long, the fact that they could still breathe normally meant that the cave wasn't completely sealed.

Nyx closed her eyes, focusing to discern the direction of the airflow. Based on her faint sensation and strong

intuition, she chose a direction and started running with her short, fluffy legs.
