Chapter 113 He’s a Bird
Annelise looked up at his pale blond hair and raised a brow.
“What about you, then?”
“I’m over two hundred. What the hell would I need camouflage for?
“People need to see me and know I’m the High Priest.”
He tapped her hand and gave her a smug little grin. “Sweetheart, you dragged back a real handful.
“Even I can’t stand his scent. He’s tougher than the tharoks out there.”
Annelise turned and saw Rokky shielding Evan and Hudson with his whole body.
Riven let out a loud scoff. “Hey, does this chick it you guys?
“If she does, just say the word. I’ll light her up and scatter her ashes for you.”
They all froze.
The hostility in their eyes faded straight into guilt.
Riven figured they didn’t believe him, so he raised one hand and lit his palm on fire.
The heat snapped through the air like dry bark splitting.
Their jaws dropped as their faces went pale. “F-fire?!”
None of them had ever seen a shifter light up like a living torch.
Riven rolled his eyes. “Chill. I get it. This is a weak *ss tribe. Of course you haven’t seen this.
“Where I come from, this is good luck.”
Annelise slapped his shoulder hard. “Alright, enough! If you burn off your boxers next, we’re not bailing you out!”
“Throw a shirt on. Come check out the chickens. Then you do exactly what I tell you. That’s the deal.”
Riven shoved her hand away like she was radioactive.
“Don’t touch me. Back off!”

Chapter 113 He’s a Bird
“I-”
“Any chick that hits her mates? Trash. If they’re still with you, it’s ’cause they’re scared. And while I’m here? You so much as raise a hand, I’ll roast you golden and string you from the ceiling.”
Annelise clamped her mouth shut. She couldn’t argue. Couldn’t walk off either.
He totally got the wrong idea.
Fine. He backed her mates. Good.
Fine. He had a hair-trigger temper. Whatever.
Fine. He was weirdly righteous on top of it.
She gave up.
She shoved the High Priest forward and let him deal with it.
Adrian, meanwhile, wiggled over like he was on stage and started bragging to Rokky, Hudson, and Evan.
“You guys missed it! Ms. Crawford kissed me! Right in front of that shirtless punk!”
He covered his face with both hands, and his little bunny tail wouldn’t stop twitching behind
him.
Annelise groaned. “Adrian, you’re sleeping with me tonight. I’m checking your lower half.”
Adrian nearly passed out on the spot.
“Ms. Crawford! If you fix it tonight, does that mean we can finally mate?!”
“Oh, wait-right, you’ve still got that thing with the chief.”
“No big deal! I’ll wait a few more days! I’m gonna raise a whole bunny army!”
Evan stared at Adrian like he wanted to throw him out a window.
No joke.
“You should think about why Snowball was the first one to take you out.”
Adrian puffed out his cheeks. “That’s ’cause I’m quite and innocent! Snowball’s just jealous!”
Evan sighed loud enough for the room to hear. It’s because you never shut up. You talk trash

nonstop.”
Adrian folded his arms. “You’re just jealous too, Evan.”
Then he spun around and bounced off toward Annelise’s room.
Evan dragged a hand down his face. “Please let that problem not get fixed.
“If it does, his ears are gonna sparkle like glitter bombs. He’ll never shut up.”
Hudson laughed once under his breath. “I think I’m starting to get how he works. Take about thirty percent of what he says seriously.
“Like that kiss? Saying Ms. Crawford did it to mess with the shirtless guy? I’m calling total fantasy.”
Evan reached out and gently messed up Hudson’s hair.
He was honestly relieved Hudson could think clearly like this.
Evan smiled a little and said, “You’re finally starting to mature.”
“Thanks, Evan. For always looking out for me.”
Evan shook his head. “I didn’t protect you.”
Back when the old Ms. Crawford used to throw punches, Hudson was the one begging her to stop.”
If it wasn’t for him? With how he used to be? He never have made it to this version of her. He’d already be dead.
“Go to bed. You’re on the inside tonight. Watch your egg.
“Got it.”

Adrian, on the other hand, had already started stripping as soon as he stepped inside.
