I Woke Up as the Panther's Mate—with a Cub

Zachary dies while rescuing a child, then opens his eyes in a rough world inhabited by beastmen, inside a body that is not his own. Within this unfamiliar land he finds himself bound to a panther-like beastman, and a young cub has come along with the bargain. Zachary must learn how to survive among these people while figuring out why he was pulled across into this life. The ancient setting puts his newfound family and his own heart under pressure from the very first days.
