Rosalie comforted Grace, then headed back into the city while it was still early.

She was holding the newborn leopard cub. The little guy was soft and warm, curled up in her arms and smiling at her.

Cameron crouched beside her, watching how she held the baby. His mind drifted off, like he was thinking way too hard about something.

Monica’s beastman walked over, gently took the cub from Rosalie, and said with a smile, “You must be tired from holding him. I’ll put him to sleep.”

Rosalie let go and stretched her arms-she was definitely sore. Micah noticed and stepped up to massage her shoulders with just the right pressure.

They had been there for a while, but Yuna was nowhere to be seen. Rosalie finally asked, “Monica, where’s your mom? I need to talk to her about something.”

“She’s away on business,” Monica replied. “She won’t be back for at least ten days.”

Rosalie frowned. Monica asked, “Is everything okay? Did something happen?”

Rosalie shook her head. “Nothing.”

Some things were better kept quiet. Telling more people would only make everyone panic.

After chatting a bit, Rosalie said goodbye and headed home.

By the time she arrived, it was already dusk. Gael and Julien had just returned too.

Seeing the worried look on Rosalie’s face, they immediately knew things hadn’t gone well.

“Matriarch, we’ll figure something out. Don’t stress too much,” Julien said.

Rosalie felt a heavy weight in her chest, feeling stuck. She just nodded.

She didn’t have much of an appetite for dinner, so she just ate a few pieces of dried fruit. She didn’t want any company and went to sit by Leon’s bed.

Holding his hand, she finally let out a long sigh, her heart filled with worry.

“Leon, why aren’t you waking up? I’m stressed out over here.

“Can’t you give me some advice?”

Leon’s short hair had grown out, and it felt soft against his neck.

Rosalie ran her fingers through his hair, but no matter how hard she thought, she still couldn’t find a solution.

Rosalie didn’t expect Yuna to be out of town. If they waited for her, anything could happen in those ten days.

But if they didn’t wait, there was no way their small group could beat Harris and his crew.

Thinking about it, Rosalie sighed again. If Declan were still here, and if Leon were awake, maybe things wouldn’t be this bad.

But that was all just what-ifs. Instead of relying on others, she had to rely on herself.

Rosalie pulled her hand back and walked outside.

The next morning, Rosalie ignored Elijah and Cameron’s protests and secretly followed Julien to Harris’s hideout.

They got lucky. Harris and his whole group had gone out, and the cave was empty.

Gael went in first to check, and only after he confirmed it was safe did Julien let Rosalie inside.

The moment Rosalie entered, she frowned and pinched her nose tight.

The cave stank, like a mix of tiger musk and sour rot, so strong it felt like the whole place had been soaked in it.

Rosalie gagged a few times, had to step back outside for fresh air, then finally covered her nose and mouth to go back in.

The cave wasn’t big. You could see everything at a glance. Besides a few pieces of worn animal skin clothes and some cleaned-off animal bones, there was hardly anything left.

Finding nothing useful and worried Harris might return any moment, Rosalie and the others left.

Once outside, Rosalie scouted the area and came up with a plan.

Since they weren’t far from the city, she sent Gael to buy an axe and a shovel.

When he got back, she pointed out specific spots and told the two brothers where to dig and chop.
