"I would like to visit home first. I will come back for rest and recovery later."
I told Lynn, and his face suddenly looked understanding. I noticed that the other hunters had fallen quiet, their eyes pushing into me, but I held my ground. I was not going to let them pressure me in any way.
Lynn just grinned at me before he gave everyone else a lazy look. It was a warning for the others to back down and not approach me.
The others did back down, and Lynn turned toward me with a smile on his face.
"Yeah, I understand. You just went through a dangerous dungeon. Of course, you want to head home. But do take care to come back. Being mentally fatigued is not good for your health."
Lynn's hand covered my forehead as he spoke. His hand pushed back my hair, and his eyes looked directly into mine.
I could read hesitation and something… else in his gaze when he looked at me. Unfortunately, there was nothing I could give him in return, and the alpha knew it as well.
