By noon, Charlotte had eaten through what remained of the deer from the previous day with an appetite that Liam found almost unreasonable.
He had known Beast Magic users often had higher physical demands depending on the nature of their transformations, and Charlotte had spent a great deal of Myst fighting, moving, and surviving before finding him. Still, watching her eat made it clear that her appetite was not merely high.
It was outrageous.
She seemed completely unashamed of it too.
When Liam stared at the remaining scraps and then at her, Charlotte only licked her fingers and said that a beautiful body required fuel. Liam did not bother arguing with that. Instead, he summoned Smoke and sent the shadow wolf out to hunt larger game while he remained at the outcrop.
In his current condition, there was no point wasting strength wandering the forest when Smoke could move more quietly, more quickly, and with far less risk.
