Chapter 139 Rosalie’s Decision
The traps were ready, so now it was all about the team.
Rosalie decided not to call in the tribe’s beastmen.
First, they didn’t know how to fight, so it would be little more than a suicide mission.

Second, since they were already outnumbered, having a huge crowd would just make them easier to spot.
So she gathered only the beastmen from her own home.
Rosalie sat by Leon’s bed, while Elijah, Julien, Gael, and Micah stood around her in a circle.
Rosalie laid out her plan step by step. The second she finished, Micah snapped, “Absolutely not!”
Even Cameron, who usually agreed with everything she said, looked grim and stayed silent.
Julien spoke up. “Matriarch, this is Gael’s and my problem with Harris. You don’t need to take
the risk.”
Gael nodded seriously.
Rosalie looked just as serious and told them, “This isn’t just about you guys anymore. Harris and his people are cold-blooded killers. They slaughtered innocent people from my tribe!
“As the tribe leader, I have to step up.”
Cameron got really worked up. “But Matriarch, I’m your beastman. There’s no way I’m letting you use yourself as bait and walk into danger. If someone needs to lure Harris out, I’ll do it!”
Rosalie shook her head. She understood why Cameron was worried, but his idea wouldn’t work.
“You’re an adult beastman. Harris is sly and suspicious. He won’t fall for it. He’ll just get suspicious, and if we fail the first time, we won’t get a second chance.”
Micah asked, “Can’t we just wait for Mrs. Sherman to come back? Her beastmen can fight tigers. Ten days isn’t that long.”
Rosalie looked him right in the eye. “Ten days is plenty of time for Harris to kill more people.
“Can you guarantee he won’t attack us during those ten days?
“If he attacks us here while I’m pregnant, where are we supposed to run?”

Gael looked down. After a while, he said in a hoarse voice, “Matriarch, this is our fault. We’re dragging you down.
“If we break our bond with you, Harris won’t target you anymore.
“We can handle our own mess.”
Rosalie smacked him on the head. Gael winced, his eyes tearing up as he rubbed his skull and looked at her pitifully. All that tough guy energy was gone.
Rosalie rolled her eyes. “You think that would work? In Harris’s mind, we’re already a package deal. For all he knows, this baby is yours. You want to leave now? Too late!”
Gael’s shoulders slumped, and the air grew heavy.
