She had told the truth back then to save his life.

As long as he stopped trying to kill himself, nothing else mattered.

“You don’t like me. Why would I force you to stay?” Annelise said calmly. “The little fox just wants a home. He doesn’t care who I am. Rokky and bunny like the person I am now. It has nothing to do with the Annelise I used to be.”

Evan nodded. “I understand.”

He said that once he could walk again in a few days, he would make his choice.

After Annelise stepped outside, she stretched and said she wanted to bathe.

Rokky immediately offered, “Ms. Crawford, I’ll heat some water.”

She grabbed his arm. “It’s not that cold today. How about we go down to the small river at the foot of the mountain and wash there? I can clean you all, too.”

“Huh?” He froze and looked back at Hudson and Adrian.

Hudson looked just as confused. “Ms. Crawford… you want to bathe with us?”

Adrian laughed. “A female washing males? You’ve got to be kidding.”

Annelise rolled her eyes. “If I’m bathing there, won’t you have to protect me? If you’re protecting me anyway, we might as well bathe together.”

She wasn’t having any improper thoughts. She planned to go into the water fully clothed in a thin garment.

All she could think about was washing the fluffy ones and checking for fleas.

Rokky followed behind her, stiff and silent.

Adrian watched him and snorted. “He’s like a little tail following her around.”

He nudged Hudson with his elbow. “Hey, little fox, who do you think Ms. Crawford likes more -Rokky or me? That Rokky… It’s like he doesn’t even have a self. Completely wooden. Yesterday I asked him whether he wanted to mate with Ms. Crawford. Want to know what he

said?”

Hudson tilted his head, puzzled. “What did he say?”

Adrian lowered his head and waved his hands, perfectly copying Rokky’s awkward manner. “Don’t want to. I don’t want to. I’m not worthy. Just being this clear-headed and alive is already enough.”

After acting it out, Adrian sighed. “At least he’s easy to please.”

Hudson sighed softly and muttered, “But he… is one of a kind.”

“Huh? What did you say?”

Hudson shook his head instead.

Up ahead, Annelise called out, “Hey, little fox, bunny! Hurry up!”

Hudson and Adrian stood at the same time. “Coming!”

Annelise never imagined that she would get a nosebleed while bathing.

And not just a little-blood poured out.

Standing in the river, she faced three handsome men, each wearing nothing but a cloth wrapped around his waist.

Rokky was the tallest, over six foot three.

He kept his head lowered, but his fair skin-especially the scars across his chest-made him look dangerously attractive.

“Easy… take it slow. I’ll look the other way,” Annelise muttered.

In the moonlight, Hudson’s eight-pack abs were sharply defined.

Lean, flawless muscle paired with a fox’s alluring face-and his red fox tail swept across the surface of the water.

Annelise cleared her throat. “No… I still need to look the other way…”

Her gaze landed on the bunny.

His flawless skin was soft and delicate. Standing between two powerfully built men, he had a charm all his own.

Annelise covered her face and screamed, “Ah! My eyes-no, my nose!”

Rokky rushed to her side, his voice gentle as if tending a cub. “Ms. Crawford, where are you hurt? Let me see.”

When he saw blood seeping through her fingers, he panicked. “Ms. Crawford! Ms. Crawford!”

Hudson hurried over as well. Adrian couldn’t squeeze in.

They pulled her hands away, and the first thing she saw was Rokky’s scarred chest.

Her legs went weak.

As she slumped downward, her face met Hudson’s abs.

Her nosebleed nearly exploded.

“Ahhh! You all wash yourselves. I need some space!”

If she didn’t calm down, she really might bleed to death.

In the end, Annelise never managed to wash the fluffy ones or check them for fleas. Instead, she stood in the river and drenched herself, trying to cool her overheated heart.

She had no idea what mating even meant.

There was nothing about it in the original host’s memories, so she didn’t understand why Hudson and Adrian sometimes stood there with their legs pressed together.

By the time they returned, she felt like she had lost too much blood.

Hudson carried her on his back. Rokky fanned her from the side, and Adrian gently rubbed her back.

That night, the three mates didn’t sleep at all, afraid she might get another nosebleed.

The next morning, when Annelise woke up, Holly had arrived with her father.

The middle-aged shifter leaned on a cane, his ankle badly injured.

His foot couldn’t touch the ground at all.

Holly asked anxiously, “Can this be treated?”

Annelise had Holly help her father sit on a bench and lift his leg. “You’ve had this injury for over ten years, haven’t you?”

Holly’s eyes went wide. “Yes! Eleven years ago. I was still little. My father was bitten by a tiger that broke in while protecting me.”

“The bone wasn’t broken, but the tendons were damaged. It was just left untreated for too long,” Annelise explained. “Even so, it’s much lighter than Evan’s injury. I can treat it. After three sessions, he can throw away the cane and start walking again, slowly.”
