“Rosalie, I’m just glad I get to see you,” her mother rasped. “It’s enough to make me happy.”

“Don’t talk, Mother.”

Rosalie’s mother barely had any strength left; every word came out slurred and stumbling, but she still fought to express what was in her heart.

Rosalie’s eyes burned. If even the system couldn’t save her mother, there was nothing she herself could do.

“Reva is your sister. If she causes more trouble … I hope you’ll forgive her. Just one more time.”

After a long silence, Rosalie nodded.

There was no point arguing with someone at the end of their life-and as for Reva, as long as she never came after Rosalie again…

Rosalie could pretend nothing had ever happened.

As the sun set, a warm beam of light fell across her mother’s face. Her exhausted eyes slowly slid shut. She drew in one long breath … and never moved again.

Silently, Rosalie pulled the blanket over her mother’s body, then pushed the door open and stepped outside. Countless eyes were fixed on her as she parted her lips and quietly announced, “Your tribe leader, Carina Bennet is gone.”

…

Soft sobs rippled through the crowd. One clear tear slid down Rosalie’s cheek and hit the ground hard, kicking up a tiny puff of dust.

Micah stood beside her, steadying her by the shoulders. “Matriarch, are you okay?” he asked gently.

Rosalie shook her head, then seemed to steel herself. She lifted her chin to face the crowd and declared, voice ringing out, “From today onward, I, Rosalie Bennet, will take over this tribe. I am your new tribe leader.”

No one objected. Reva had already been cast out, and Rosalie was the tribe leader’s only daughter. If she wasn’t the leader, who else could be?

Some were pleased and some uneasy, but Rosalie didn’t bother to read their faces. She turned and went back inside, unafraid of her mother’s body lying there,

Night slowly fell, and the people outside dispersed.

Chapter 109 Reva’s Scheme

Finished

Rosalie walked back to her mother’s side and examined her carefully. Something felt off. Last time she’d given her medicine, the illness shouldn’t have worsened-so how had it deteriorated into death so suddenly?

She suspected someone had meddled in between.

But no matter how Rosalie checked or how the system scanned, nothing abnormal showed up.

Maybe once someone was dead, there just wasn’t much left to examine.

Rosalie asked Micah to stay and watch over her mother’s body, while Leon accompanied her to check something out.

Leon shifted into his black panther form and let her climb onto his back. Following her directions, he carried her swiftly into a patch of forest.

Rosalie grabbed a thick fallen branch and began digging. The soil there was soft and loose, clearly turned over recently.

She hadn’t dug far when clumps of fresh medicinal residue came into view.

Rosalie pinched a bit of the residue between her fingers, lifted it to her nose, and forced a name out through clenched teeth.

“Reva.

“Another one of your brilliant schemes!”

Rosalie slammed the branch into the ground in fury. The residue was unmistakable-wisteria herb.

Reva hadn’t even bothered to choose a different spot to hide the evidence, just buried it right here. She really didn’t think Rosalie would ever find it.

To be fair, Reva probably never imagined Rosalie would connect her mother’s death to her.

But the moment she saw the residue, Rosalie knew-it was the wisteria herb that had sped up her mother’s death.

She ground her teeth. She hadn’t thought Reva could be this vicious, but the woman hadn’t spared even her mother. She really was determined to wipe them all out.

Suddenly, a chill ran through Rosalie. A bleak, rustling presence stirred in the woods behind her, sending cold prickles down her spine.

Leon wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pulled her into the shelter of his chest. “Matriarch, it’s cold. Let’s head back.”
