Chapter 179 Caring Mates.
“Then I guess I’ll just take care of your pretty little face.”
Adrian said that and stayed exactly where he was.
Annelise smacked her lips a bit.
She glanced at the window. It looked like someone was moving outside.
Was that Riven?
Right, Riven technically didn’t hold any title. He wasn’t allowed to come in.
Even conversations between the two of them were awkward.
Annelise said, “I… I’m still hungry.”
Adrian scoffed. “Seriously, Ms. Crawford? Still hungry? The High Priest brought in two thick slabs of roast pork. You ate both of them!”
Annelise found it strange too, but her stomach was still grumbling.
It didn’t feel acidic anymore, just sore.
Then her stomach let out a loud, unmistakable growl.
“See? I’m starving. I want two more slabs of roast pork.”
Hudson said, “I’ll get them for you, Ms. Crawford. There’s some left on the little stove ou Should still be warm.”
“No. You all are staying right here. All of you are sleeping with me tonight.
“Hmm… Riven can bring me the food.”
Annelise raised her voice on purpose.
“Riven! Go bring me some roast pork!”
Sure enough, the shadow outside froze. He replied in a low voice, “Alright.”
A moment later, he brought over the pork. When he opened the door and saw her looking well, Riven visibly relaxed.
So did Annelise.
At least now he had a reason to come inside.
But Riven quickly left again. He didn’t linger.
Annelise kept staring toward the door, long enough that Adrian got annoyed and brushed her hand with his rabbit tail.
“Ms. Crawford, since we’re all sleeping together, then come on! Let’s get to it!”
Adrian proudly announced he was already in bed.
Since Annelise had passed out earlier, he figured that gave her permission to snuggle his rabbit tail all she wanted tonight. She could squeeze, fluff, and pet it all night long.
Annelise still had no idea how to handle Riven.
It was obvious. Riven wasn’t like the others. He couldn’t just come over and lie in bed with her.
But leaving him out there all alone felt way too cruel.
While she was thinking that, Hudson climbed into bed too. He hugged the upper half of her body, wrapping her up in his insanely warm, fluffy fur.
“Ms. Crawford, this is how we’re sleeping tonight. I’m holding you, and my tail’s covering you.
“As for Rokky… he can sit at the foot of the bed and show you five tails. How about that?”
Rokky didn’t wait for Annelise to answer. He climbed onto the bed himself, sat down, an fanned out five slim but silky tails.
In that instant, Annelise, the queen of cuddling fluffy things, felt like she’d hit paradise. L hand gripping a rabbit tail. Right hand squeezing the tip of Rokky’s tail. She was about to ascend into heaven from pure bliss.
This was insane!
Add in Hudson’s puffy tail wrapped around her, and Annelise felt like she had officially reached the peak of her life.
She reached out, wanting to touch Evan’s hand.
Instead, her palm landed on something burning hot.
“Whoa!” Annelise shouted and bolted upright.
She startled all the others awake with her voice.
Adrian shot up like a spring. “What?! What happened?! Is something trying to eat me?!”
He clutched Annelise’s arm and started trembling.
She shoved him off.
“Dude! What are you scared of? You’re literally surrounded by bad*ss beasts!
“Rokky. Hudson. Me! You’ve got nothing to be scared of. And by the way, you’re not a little bunny anymore. You’re a massive, ferocious beast!”
She scrambled to check on Evan.
His cheeks were flushed, and sweat covered his forehead.
Even with all that shouting, he still didn’t wake up.
Annelise jumped out of bed and placed her hand on his forehead.
He was burning up. There was no doubt-he had a fever.
“Evan! Evan! Don’t fall asleep here. Come on my bed.”
Hudson jumped off the bed too and rushed over to help Evan.
By then, Evan had opened his eyes. He looked confused.
Annelise said again, “You’ve got a fever. Let me see your arms and your sides. Any signs of rash or bumps?”
