“I’ve been by your side this whole time. If Riven ever asks for copulating in the future. I’ll speak to him.”
That soft promise from Evan calmed Annelise just enough for sleep to creep in.
With him holding her like this, she felt safe. Really safe.
As her breathing slowed and deepened, Evan’s thoughts began to spiral inward.
Riven wasn’t the issue. More power on their side was fine. That didn’t bother him.
What bothered him was realizing his own weakness.
He hadn’t been able to protect her.
Earlier, all he could do was throw his body in front of her and hope it was enough. And maybe this time it had been. But what about next time?
What if a real predator came for her-one of the really terrifying ones-and she happened to be in a vulnerable state? What if the others weren’t around? What could he do?
He looked down at his hands, opening and closing them slowly. Then leaned forward, pressing a soft kiss to Annelise’s sleeping face.
When Annelise woke again, it was already night
Hudson had been keeping dinner warm the whole time, ready to serve the moment she opened her eyes.
She yawned, long and satisfied. She’d slept well and her mood had noticeably improved.
The moment she stepped outside, she smelled the mouthwatering aroma of roast chicken and spotted Adrian curled up in a corner, hugging his knees.
He was wearing a too-big blue shirt-definitely not his. His own clothes had been completely torched by Riven earlier, so now it was just whatever they could find. All their clothes had been buried under the wreckage of the second and third rooms. Whatever they could dig up, they wore.
Adrian looked completely pitiful. His red-rimmed bunny eyes were still swollen; he’d clearly cried.
Annelise glanced around, but didn’t see Riven anywhere.

Hudson explained, “Ms. Crawford, Riven left this afternoon. He hasn’t come back yet. Oh. and about the wreckage, we didn’t want to make noise while you were sleeping. We figured we’d want and clean up when you were awake.
She looked around at the collapsed house. Yeah. That thing is beyond repair. It needed to be rebuilt from the ground up.
She sighed. Till talk to Mr. Allen and see if we can borrow the chief’s quarters for a few days.. You can all sleep there.”
Hudson and Rokky replied in unison, “It’s fine I’ve got four tails now, they’re big and warm. D cam wrap myself up and sleep right in the courtyard. Not cold at all. I could even spare one zil for Rokky!”
Clearly, he was planning to work day and night. Aside from the hours when Annelise was asleep, he’d be im full construction mode to rebuild their home as quickly as possible.
If they tied in right, they could use those trees Adrian had hauled back to build a fourth
room, too..
“Of course, Ms. Crawford, I’ll still be making your meals every day. I’m fast. I won’t let your
rest or nutrinom suffer.””
Rokky nodded. “I work fast, too. Don’t worry, don’t get tired.”
Evan added. “I’ll help with the work too. Thes next few days—”
But before he could finish, Huds.com crust him off. Come on, Evan, you don’t have much strength, and you’re not a mean-eater. You dont need to help with heavy labor. Just keep taking care of the chickens. That’s enough.
Evan went silent. He couldn’t argue. He really dn’t have the strength to help rebuild.
Even clearing debris was out of reach for him
Still, he kept his tone even. “I’ll do what I can to lighnem your load.”
Annelise glanced at Adrian, still huddled miserably im the commer. She took a few bites of the roast chicken-it was excellent-then grabbed am extra drumstick.
She turned to Hudson. “He’s been like that all termoon? No food or water?”
“Since this morning,” Hudson said. “Ever since everything happened. I gave him some pork a lunch, but he threw it up. He just can’t keep anything down. But I remember you said that he’s not actually a rabbit shifter, right? He needs mean
Annelise nodded, then walked over to Adrian with the drumstick in lumel.

Adrian flinched, shrinking into himself even more, like he was trying to disappear into the wall.
“Ms. Crawford… what are you doing?”
His voice was rough-way too deep for his face. It sounded completely off, coming from someone with such a delicate look.
