Chapter 194 Evan’s Feelings
Evan couldn’t bring himself to say it out loud.
Not with everyone watching.
If he said it, it’d feel like he was tossing Annelise’s kindness right back in her face.

So he just said, “It’s okay. Ms. Crawford, you really don’t need to worry. I don’t blame you. I’ll try to slip out to the backyard next time so you won’t notice me.”
Annelise hooked her arms around his neck. “There’s no next time. I won’t let this happen again.”
The High Priest turned toward her. “Sweetheart, do you even wanna go outside today?
“If not, we can wait a day or two before we clear out the traps and whatever else the shaman asked us to get rid of.”
“No.”
Annelise threw her hand out.
“I’m not staying inside over this.
“I need to get used to being outside again. You can’t learn to handle a crisis from your living room.”
Riven stepped forward. “She’s right. It’s only out there that we face danger. That’s how we learn to deal with it.”
He pointed at Hudson. “From now on, whenever Ms. Crawford goes out, we’re with her. Little fox, bring food with you, alright?
“If she’s hungry, she eats.
“And it works out. We’ve got eggs, chickens, and a bunch of meat from those carcasses we scavenged. Can’t even finish it all before winter hits. Might as well use it.”
Hudson tilted his head. “But Ms. Crawford doesn’t really like cold food.”
Riven replied, “That’s why I’m coming. I run hot. I’ll warm it up in my hands before she eats.”
Rokky said, “I’m coming too. I can fight. And if that happens again, I swear I won’t let go.”
Adrian poked his own chest with both hands.
“Then I’m going too!”
He reminded everyone how strong he was.
And let’s be honest, he had his own reason.
If everyone else stuck to Annelise and he didn’t, what if he drifted away from him?
Evan saw they all wanted to go, so he spoke up,
“Ms. Crawford, I-”

Annelise cut him off. “Then it’s settled. Adrian, Hudson, Rokky, Riven. From now on, the four of you go with

Once she laid it all out, she turned to Evan.
“Evan, stay home and watch over your baby and Hudsons, okay?”

They were fine today.
Annelise added, “You’re still not fully recovered, right? You’ve been running a

“Don’t argue. You’re a decorative type. I can’t risk you getting hurt.”
Evan swallowed the rest of his words.
“Alright.”
He knew he was still the weak link. Still the burden.
Not going would probably make things easier for Annelise anyway.

So he slipped back into his usual tone. “I’ll take care of the little ones, Ms. Crawford.”
And just like that, Annelise headed out with her four mates for the first time to handle the situatio
She walked ahead, the four guys flanking her on both sides and behind her.
Whenever she looked the slightest bit hungry, Hudson handed over a roasted chicken.
If it cooled down, Riven really did warm it up with his hands.
When it came time to disable the traps, Annelise glanced around.
They were all pretty much the same. Each one triggered by the weight of an adult shifter.
All four guys rushed to block her path.
Especially after Riven shared what happened and they saw the wound on his arm, Rokky stepped up. Crawford, let me take the hits. I heal fast.”
Hudson said, “Let me do it. I’ve got tails for days. If anything comes at us, I’ll smack it out of the air.”
Adrian watched them trying to show off again,
