Beast Love Show: All For Her (by Sylvester Raven) novel Chapter 257

Chapter 257 Lurking Danger

Sitting up quietly, Stella gave Carson’s sleeve a soft tug.

Eyes flying open instantly, his irises glinted faintly in the pitch-black darkness, a trait inherited from his wolf shifter lineage.

“I’m so hungry,” she whispered in a teary, pitiful tone.

Carson rubbed his temples with quiet helplessness.

He’d done nearly all the camp labor that day while Stella spent her time chatting and laughing with the other two males.

He hadn’t felt the slightest twinge of hunger himself, yet here she was complaining relentlessly.

Still, as the alpha of his wolf pack, he couldn’t bear to leave those under his care starving.

He rose to his feet with a quiet sigh. “I’ll head out and see if I can find anything edible.”

A hidden smile tugged at Stella’s lips, masked perfectly by feigned worry.

“Isn’t it far too dangerous to go out this late?” she asked.

Her fake concern, broadcast live for all viewers to see, sparked immediate mockery in the stream chat.

[That act is so transparent! If she truly feared danger, she’d just skip one meal instead of sending him out.]

[She’s only pretending to care just to make poor Mr. Fields fetch food for her.]

[Go find food yourself! You have hands and legs just like everyone else. I can’t stand her entitlement.]

[Mr. Fields is far too kind-hearted. I’d leave her to fend for herself without a second thought.]

Carson slipped on his jacket and stepped out of their underground camp without another word.

Oliver lay pretending to sleep in the corner, hearing every word of their exchange perfectly clear.

He’d researched Planet M715 thoroughly before arrival, and trouble was inevitable for Carson tonight.

Deeply attuned to danger from her apocalypse-era survival instincts, Layla opened her eyes in an instant.

Sitting upright in bed, she pricked up her ears, listening intently to the night sounds outside.

Beneath the rustle of wind through leaves came the low, heavy breathing of some large wild creature.

Alarm spiking in her chest, she grabbed a dagger and peered out into the darkness.

Two figures darted swiftly through the distant jungle shadows.

Layla’s sharp eyes caught clear sight of one human-shaped figure being chased by a massive predatory beast.

Has another contestant wandered out hunting and gotten targeted by a wild animal?

The live chat’s quiet speculation confirmed Layla’s suspicion about the figure’s identity.

She urged King Kong to move faster.

Though resembling an oversized avian creature, King Kong ran with incredible speed and overwhelming momentum.

The surrounding scenery blurred past in an instant, carrying them miles into the jungle in mere moments.

Following the faint trail of noise, King Kong soon skidded to a halt before an injured Carson.

The wild beast loomed over him, jaws wide and ready to strike. A sharp cry from King Kong startled the predator mid-attack.

The beast shrank back warily, bloodlust blazing in its eyes as it sized up the new arrivals.

Standing atop King Kong’s head, Layla looked down coldly at the fur-covered dinosaur-like creature, her tone sharp and commanding.

“Get lost!”

Whether out of fear of Layla herself or the towering King Kong beside her, the beast hesitated, scraped its claws angrily against the dirt, and vanished silently into the dark jungle.

Relief washed over Layla once the danger passed.

King Kong lowered its head obediently to let her jump safely to the ground.

She walked slowly toward the wounded Carson.
