“Why did Hudson’s come right away? Evan’s second time worked too-why am I the only one with terrible luck?!”
Okay… so we did copulate, Annelise mused. I just didn’t feel anything. All I remember is how good the rabbit meat smelled…
She could vividly tell her body had grown stronger. Adrian, on the other hand, looked like lifting even a finger took all the strength he had.
She tried to pull the blanket up to cover him, only to notice even his rabbit tail had a bite mark on it. “Wait-I bit there too? I don’t remember having this kink…”
Adrian huffed, throwing a tiny tantrum. “What do you think?! No, I did it! I bit my own tail! I lost my mind in the middle of the night, twisted myself into a pretzel, and bit it myself, okay?!”
“No, no, no, that’s not what I meant. I’m just trying to figure out how I could’ve bitten your tail at all. I wasn’t that far gone. And your tail’s right next to your butt-I’m not that much of a pervert.”
“Oh, yeah? Want to pull the blanket down a little more? You left bite marks on my backside too!”
Annelise rubbed her temples. “Adrian, I treated you like food last night. How would we have even managed to copulate?”
Adrian coughed lightly, his face turning pink. After a moment of hesitation, he leaned toward her, curling a finger to beckon her closer. “Um… Ms. Crawford, come here.”
“Oh-okay.”
She leaned in. Adrian breathed a warm puff of air against her ear and whispered, “Of c we copulated. I had my arms around your neck the whole time so you wouldn’t run. Cou cough… And that’s how I ended up sacrificing my face. Look-you even left a bite mark on left cheek.”
Annelise froze. “Oh my God. You even have a bite mark on your face? How are you going to face people?”
She shouldn’t have said anything-because he immediately got angrier. “So after everything I sacrificed, I don’t even get my cub? I really got the short end of the stick!”
Right then, Hudson burst through the door.

Adrian panicked and yanked the blanket over his head. “Hudson! Ever heard of knocking?!”
Hudson hopped past him and went straight to Annelise. “Ms. Crawford, Riven came back.”
Annelise froze for a second.
After all these days-even after she and Evan’s cub were born-Riven finally returned. She had no idea what to say or how she was supposed to face him.
Riven used to explode at the drop of a hat, but he’s silent this time. What’s up with that?
“Did he say what he came back to do?” She asked softly.
“H-he said he wants to see you,” Hudson stammered. “We told him Adrian was keeping you company last night and you weren’t up yet, so he told me to wake you.”
At that, he tilted his head as his tail swished back and forth. He looked torn. “Ms. Crawford… do you think maybe Riven wants to be added to the rotation for night duty too? Are we really supposed to schedule him in? Do you… actually want him to keep you company?”
Annelise rejected it immediately. “No way.”
There wasn’t even the slightest emotional foundation-and now, after that whole forced bond mess, she didn’t even want to touch his feathers anymore, no matter how fluffy they looked.
She stood. “Is he outside the gate?”
“Yeah, he’s standing in the courtyard.”
Annelise thought that Riven himself felt a little distant now. Before, he would’ve at le stepped up to the window to talk to them. This time, he just sent Hudson with messa Clearly, he was keeping some distance.
“It probably isn’t about night duty. I’ll go take a look.”
She headed for the door, but Adrian’s hand shot out from under the blanket. “Ms. Crawford,
what about me?”
“Stay put. Don’t move until your body stops hurting.”
She added that if Adrian was okay with it, Hudson could use the dried medicinal herbs from the table on him-but only if Adrian didn’t mind Hudson seeing his condition.
With that, she stepped outside.
