Chapter 118 Riven Was Attracted to Annelise

Only Riven knew the truth-the sudden burst of scent earlier was a natural reaction of his race-something that happened only when a female attracted them.

I’m attracted… to Annelise?!Impossible. She’s a total menace!

Meanwhile, the chief searched the spot where they had been standing moments ago, muttering, “Strange. Didn’t they say that red-haired fire shifter was right here? Where did he go…”

Then her hands balled into fists, irritation clouding her face. “D*mn it. Why did a strong shifter have to show up right when things are critical…”

Annelise felt her suspicions fall neatly into place The chief stood only 50 feet away and still couldn’t hear anything. Yet Riven-65 feet from Annelise earlier-had sensed her

immediately.

This isn’t the vigilance a tiger should have. If this isn deterioration, what is?!

As she realized this, sweat gathered at the tip of her nose. She also noticed she was getting warmer and warmer-because holding Riven was like hugging a furnace. It was no wonder he wore such thin clothing in the dead of winter. His breathing had grown heavier too, sweat beading along his temples.

Annelise leaned in and gently blew a small puff of air against his ear.

Her intention was simply to get his attention-no talking, no big movements, just enough for them to exchange a look. But the moment that warm breath brushed his skin, Riven’s whole body jolted-going stiff as a bowstring.

“Hmmph!”

A whimper almost escaped him, and Annelise had to tighten her hand over his mouth to keep it in. Luckily, the chief’s hearing had already declined, and she didn’t notice anything unusual.

Regardless, Riven and Annelise managed to make eye contact.

I’m taking my hand off. Don’t make a sound. Seriously not a single sound. My hand is bure

to move it.

Annelise widened her eyes and pursed her lips, hoping he understood her pantomime.

Riven nodded.

Chapter 118 Riven Was Attracted to Annelis

When she let go, her palm was hot and damp.

Riven exhaled sharply. His mouth tingled from the lingering warmth. It was the first time in his entire life he’d felt something like that.

A female’s hand… is it really that soft?Small, soft…

For one wild second, while she had been covering his mouth, he had wanted to stick out his tongue and lick her palm. He barely restrained himself.

Then he scolded himself. What, never seen a female before, Riven Hollander?! There are plenty of prettier, nobler females you’ve never even looked at-why would you want to lick hers? Unacceptable. Must be that kiss. Yes-definitely the kiss.

While both of them were lost in chaotic thoughts, Annelise suddenly noticed the chief walking straight toward them.

This was bad.

This hiding spot was tiny. If the chief stepped 20-or-so feet closer, she would see the haystack-and anyone hiding behind it. And anyone who saw a suspiciously hidden pair of people would absolutely investigate.

Annelise’s heart jumped to her throat. She tapped Riven’s back, signaling, Can you move?

Riven looked mortified. His back wasn’t weak anymore, but the rest of him still was. And so, he shook his head.

Annelise shot him a deadpan glare. You’re strong huh? Huh!

She even mimed spitting at him.

Riven glared back, furious. Whose fault is that?!

He also realized something was very wrong with the Chief. If her senses were intact, she would’ve already known someone was hiding here. A tiger shifter should never struggle with this kind of distance-whether scent or sound.

Just as Riven decided that, no matter what, he should step out, a voice called to the chief.

“Chief, what are you doing out here? Did you find that red-haired male shifter?”

The chief turned and saw Cadogo-Snowball-approaching.
