Love Unspoken

Chapter 1208

Quinn was at her wit's end, totally baffled why this tiger was so hell-bent on chasing Alexander.

"Did Alexander mess with its mate or cub when he was out earlier? Is that why this tiger's out for blood?" Quinn mumbled to herself.

Alexander was already banged up, and the tiger wasn't letting up. He perched on a treetop, watching the tiger charge, sighed, and grabbed a vine to swing to another tree. The tiger was pissed, missing him over and over, even falling from the tree. Its furious roar was so loud Quinn had to cover her ears.

Then it stopped climbing and started whacking the tree trunk with its powerful paws. The whole tree shook with each hit.

The tree wasn't gonna break, but Alexander was struggling to keep his balance.

His fingers clutched the trunk so hard they turned white, veins popping on the back of his hand. The wound on his arm was still bleeding, staining his whole arm red. Blood trickled down to his palm, smearing the tree trunk.

With the next hit, his hand slipped, and he fell straight from the tree.

Quinn's eyes widened, and her heart sank with him.
