But just as Riven had that thought, his panicked voice rang out, “I-I can’t take the fire back!”

“What?!” That shout of disbelief came from Hudson, Rokky, and Adrian all at once.

Adrian especially looked like he was about to bolt, but the moment he took a step, Riven barked, “Don’t you dare, you dumb rabbit! I can control the fire-wherever you go, it’ll follow and burn!”

Adrian froze on the spot. “Wait! What do you mean you can’t control it?! Are you saying I’ll actually be roasted?!”

“Shut up! I’m working on it. Little female, get over here! Touch me!” Riven was sweating bullets.

Adrian, on the verge of tears, started shaking. “So you are saying I’m gonna get roasted! Like, actually cooked?! Are you saying the fire’s locked onto me, and you can’t stop it? That it’s gonna burn me from the outside and the inside! Oh my god, I think I am getting a little crispy!”

“Adrian, quiet!” Annelise snapped, already fed up with the chaos. How did things spiral into this mess?!

She grabbed Riven’s hand and tried the same method as before-infusing a bit of spirit energy into him, as she had in the cave, hoping it would calm the fire.

But this time it didn’t work.

“That’s weird… Wait, it’s not that it’s not working it’s that I… I can’t seem to release any spirit energy.”

Something felt off inside her.

Evan approached. “It’s probably because you’re carrying a cub now, Ms. Crawford. That’s why, during these ten days, we are the ones who need to protect you-day and night.”

“What now then? Are we really gonna serve roasted bunny tonight?!”

Adrian’s long ears drooped, and his bunny eyes welled up with tears.

“I haven’t even copulated yet! I don’t have a cub And now I’m gonna die as roast bunny?! Aaah! Can’t the heavens be nice to bunnies for once?!”

Annelise and Riven yelled in unison, “Shut up!”

Evan heard the two of them shout together and it bothered him a little. But he swallowed that sour feeling and said calmly, “Ms. Crawford there’s only one way to stop this. You have to form a full bond with Riven. Inject just a tiny bit of spirit energy through his neck. Once he’s bonded to you as your mate, he’ll be fully under your command. Even the tiniest thread of spirit energy from you, and he’ll snuff out his fire immediately.”

“What?” Annelise stiffened. She really wasn’t keen on the whole bonding thing to begin with.

And now she was being pushed into it?

Riven’s lips pressed into a tight line. It was clear he didn’t want her to feel forced. He wanted her to bond with him because she wanted to.

Right now, he hated how unstable he’d become. He was supposed to help Annelise-save the house-and instead, he was now a walking threat. Like he was pressuring her into this bond. That wasn’t him.

Adrian, singed and sweating, whimpered, “Okay, I’m really burning now. Do you all maybe wanna think about saving me? You can break the bond later, right? Temporary solution?”

That suggestion earned him a double glare.

“Absolutely not!” the two said in unison again.

Riven whipped his head around to look at Annelise in shock.

He had said no because, in his world, there was no such thing as un-bonding. Once bonded, the only end was death.

But. Annelise said no, too.

His heart gave a little stutter. A flicker of something warm.

What Riven didn’t know was that Annelise’s “no had nothing to do with romance-it was because she knew once the bond was formed, there was no way to undo it.

Ugh!

Suddenly, Riven’s flames flared hotter. Adrian’s whole face was now covered in soot.

“Okay, okay! I’m actually cooking now!” Adrian shrieked.

Riven panicked and clutched one wrist with the other. “D*mn it! My flames… they’re out of control. This is bad. Really bad. I might end up burning down everything. Little female, if you won’t bond with me, figure something else out!”

The situation was spiraling fast, and Annelise couldn’t just stand there and let Adrian get roasted alive.

So, without thinking, she shoved aside Riven’s fiery red hair and bit into the back of his neck.
