Apocalypse? 1 Prefer the Beast World Real Estate Market

Chapter 104 Sixto

Rosalie felt scared by the heat in Leon’s eyes-and he was right.

No matter what happened, Leon had always been the one quietly standing behind her.

And somewhere along the way, she’d gotten used to having him there.

Leon’s head hung low; Rosalie cupped his face and pressed soft kisses over his sorrowful eyes.

The repeated brush of her lips tickled; Leon’s lashes fluttered as he looked up at her and said in a low voice, “Matriarch.”

Rosalie hummed in answer, struggling to move her sore arms as she looped them around his neck, her gaze suddenly fierce and possessive.

“You’re the one who insists on sticking around, so listen up-if you ever dare sneak off without my permission…

“I’ll chase you to the ends of the earth and drag you back.”

Leon’s eyes lit up; he gave a low “mm,” swept an arm around her waist, and pulled her down onto his lap.

Their bodies pressed together; even with a thin layer of beast hide between them. Rosalie could feel the heat and tension humming through his chest.

Leon kissed her with almost reverent care; it was their third kiss-the first two had been just to feed his beloved medicine, but this one was pure declaration of ownership.

Their tongues tangled in a fluid dance, even the last traces of bitter medicine turning oddly sweet as their uneven breaths tangled together.

After a long while, Rosalie stared at Leon through misted eyes, while he pressed his lips together and tried to calm the wild rise and fall of his chest.

Leon rose, pulled the covers up around her, and spoke in a rough voice.

“Matriarch, you need to focus on healing.”

With that, he took the bowl outside. A moment later, he came back with a piece of candied fruit between his teeth, leaning down so Rosalie could bite off half while the rest stayed in his own

‘mouth.

Using the candy as an excuse, they stole another long, lingering kiss until both of them were wrapped in a faint, sugary scent; only then did Leon finally let her go.

Leon brushed her damp hair back from her face with his fingertips and let her curl into his arms, where she drifted into a deep sleep.

At dawn, Rosalie opened her eyes to Leon’s handsome face filling her vision, and the sheer impact of his looks startled her.

There was a smile in Leon’s eyes as he leaned in to give her a soft good-morning kiss.

Rosalie’s cheeks flushed; when Leon chuckled, she buried her face in his chest and huffed, “What are you laughing at!”

Knock, knock, knock!

Someone knocked on the door, and their playful tussling came to an abrupt halt.

“Matriarch, are you awake?”

It was Gael’s voice from outside.

Worried his injuries might have gotten worse, Rosalie nudged Leon off her and said calmly, “I’ll go check.”

Gael’s arm bandages were hanging loose, the wounds on his hands split open again, blood sliding down along his fingers.

Rosalie hurried over, concern written all over her face. “Didn’t we wrap these up yesterday? How did

you end up like this today?”

Gael’s hair was a mess, and behind him, Cameron was storming in with an axe in his hands, glaring at Gael. “Matriarch, you have no idea-this guy is a fraud!!”

Rosalie frowned slightly. “Put the axe down.”

Cameron’s fox-like eyes went wide. “Matriarch! This guy is Sixto-that cat!”

Gael ducked behind Rosalie, and when Cameron saw how unsurprised she looked, the axe slipped from his hands and thudded onto the floor.

“Matriarch! You knew already!”

Rosalie rubbed at her aching temples. “I only just found out, too.”

Cameron ground his teeth, ready to drag Gael out from behind her-this shameless guy had actually pretended to be a cat, spent every day curled up in the Matriarch’s arms, even slept in her bed. Truly scheming!
