“Uh…” Annelise drew her neck back slightly. “That’s because I was cursing him out.”
“Even if you were cursing him, you mentioned him way too many times, Ms. Crawford,” Evan said. “You can’t seriously expect me to sit there smiling while listening to you talk about another male.”
Annelise immediately thought of the little fox, Hudson.
When she had just returned, Hudson had rushed over, asking if she was hurt. He had even said that if she didn’t come back, he was ready to go look for her himself.
But later, when Adrian mentioned that Riven was also going to become a mate, Hudson had worn a look that was half laughter, half tears.
He had actually said, “Ms. Crawford, I know you like red fur, but you don’t have to like it too much, right?”
Thinking about it from Hudson’s point of view, Annelise really did like red fur. He was happy about it.
But when there was another male with red fur, he wasn’t pleased.
That thought made her ask Evan again, “I didn’t mate with him. Do you believe me?”
Evan lowered his head and said nothing.
Just when Annelise thought that even Evan didnt believe her, he finally spoke. “I believe you.”
“Really?”
Evan nodded.
Annelise turned to Rokky. “Rokky, I didn’t mate with Riven. Do you believe me?”
Rokky scratched his head. “Ms. Crawford, of course I believe whatever you say. It’s just that the things that brimel said didn’t sound fake either.”
Evan picked up the thread. “That’s why this is a misunderstanding. And he might really like you.”
Evan admitted that he felt uncomfortable.
Not because of whether Annelise had mated with someone or not.

“Ms. Crawford, you’re incredible. You have no idea how many males were watching when Riven dragged you through the sky and set you down on Gorehorn’s back. The moment I realized that even a ferocious male like Riven could fall for you, I started thinking-how many males are going to wear down our doorstep in the future? That’s what makes my chest. feel tight.”
Evan went on, saying that he understood the reality of it.
A female in her prime could easily have ten mates, and no one would find that strange.
The more powerful the female, the more mates she tended to have.
Strong females attracted attacks from hostile shifters of other tribes and were more likely to be targeted by packs of aggressive beasts.
That was why they needed many mates-to protect them during the vulnerable moments of everyday life, like sleeping and eating.
“Ms. Crawford…” Evan reached out and gently poked Annelise in the chest, his fingertip lingering there for a moment. “In the future, will there still be a place for me right here?”
Only then did Annelise realize that Evan was feeling jealous.
She answered at once, “Yes. And it’s just going to be you four-no outsiders. My house isn’t big enough, and I don’t have the energy for more.”
She thought to herself that when it came to fluffy things, she already had a fox, a bunny, a peacock, and a tharok that looked like a leopard with five tails. That practically fulfilled all her fur-petting dreams.
Evan laughed softly.
Annelise turned to Rokky. “Are you jealous, Rokky?”
Rokky hesitated. “A-A little.”
“Then do you want to have babies with me too?”
“No, no, no. I don’t want that. I don’t want my kids to turn out like me. If they grow up and can’t find a female to bond with, that would be awful. Really awful. I think things are fine as they are. I don’t want to mate, and I don’t want kids.”
Annelise felt a bit helpless.
“The Chief is practically about to die, and you’re still this scared. Oh, right—you didn’t get to

hit her yourself. Tomorrow, I’ll take you to smash the Chief’s face with a brick.”
Meanwhile, Adrian was making a scene in the courtyard in the middle of the night.

“You can’t sleep in this room! This room is for the High Priest. He’s not here right now, so it belongs to us!”
Riven was not about to back down.
“You can all sleep inside. You’re all Ms. Crawford’s mates. That’s not a problem.”
“But you’re not!”
Riven let out a short laugh. “I will be soon. Very soon. You might as well get used to it. We’ll be seeing each other every day-better than feeling awkward later.”
“You-”
Adrian got so worked up that his rabbit tail and long ears popped out all at once.
Riven pointed at him. “Looking like that might attract Ms. Crawford, but it won’t attract me.”
As he spoke, flames flickered in his palm. “Either we sleep together, or you get out. Otherwise, I’m having roast rabbit tonight.”
“Ahhh!”
Adrian grabbed his long drooping ears and bolted outside in terror, completely losing it.
“Help! Someone help! A bad guy is trying to burn a bunny!”
He charged straight out and slammed into Snowball, knocking the wind out of him.
