Chapter 37 Peacock Feathers and Quiet Confessions

So he waved it off. “Forget it. I’ll wait for a solo night.”

No mating, but still able to hold her close.

Maybe even whisper a few secrets.

Annelise shrugged. “Your call. Don’t expect me to pamper you.”

“Who said I wanted pampering, hmph!”

Adrian stomped again.

That night, Annelise didn’t show. Not even the little fox he thought he was close to came.

He ended up standing half the night, waiting.

Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Annelise finally ran her fingers along the peacock’s tail.

The feathers were dense, layered perfectly one over another, smooth and silky.

Completely different from the soft fur of foxes or rabbits.

“Ms. Crawford, is this okay?”

“Yes, yes. Can you spread it?”

“Hmm… I can.”

“Wow. I’ve never seen a peacock fan its tail up close. Can I touch it while it’s open?”

“Sure.”

Evan’s ears flushed red.

Annelise didn’t notice.

Evan finally understood what the little fox had meant about clenching their legs.

Annelise didn’t mate with any male. She only touched their tails.

And touching the tail was a prelude to mating.

That explained why Hudson and Adrian had come out, legs clenched.

Evan, reserved by nature, was a peacock. Unlike the fox or rabbit, his mating season was completely different-usually only in spring or summer. With winter approaching, he felt nothing and wasn’t aroused by tail-touching.

So he stood there properly, back to Annelise, showing only his fanned tail.

Annelise drew a deep breath. “Wow, Evan… you’re so beautiful. Really… not just your face, but your tail too.”

“Ms. Crawford, you flatter me. The ones who are truly beautiful are Rokky, Adrian-so playful and cute-and the little fox, so charming. Everyone has their own beauty. I’m just… more reserved.”

“Mm-hmm.”

Annelise pinched her chin thoughtfully.

“You’re different from all of them. From the first moment I saw you, I knew… you were noble and dignified.”

“Ms. Crawford, only the chief’s mates can be called noble. None of the rest of us can claim that.”

“Forget them. Here with me, if you’re stubborn and noble, then you are. Just like that.”

Evan smiled helplessly.

Annelise satisfied her curiosity, then lay down to sleep.

It didn’t take long before she was asleep.

Evan, however, couldn’t sleep. So much had happened tonight, but it was joyful.

For the first time, he felt that when he needed help, someone would come for him.

And that someone was the new Annelise.

Just then, there was a faint hiss from the side of the bed.

Evan looked up to see Adrian, still awake.

“Come over. Let’s whisper a little.”

Evan immediately went over and raised a finger.

“In the middle of the night? If you wake Ms. Crawford, I’m not responsible.”

“She won’t wake. I was talking with Hudson all night, right next to her, and she didn’t stir. I just wanted to ask… Did she not mate with you?”

Evan shook his head.

Adrian looked utterly dumbfounded. “Wait… Does she not understand?”

Evan shook his head slightly. “I don’t know. I’ve never even heard her talk about this.”

“Oh… Hey, Evan, was it like this with the old Annelise?”

Adrian rested his chin in his hands, perched on the windowsill.

His long rabbit ears flopped from side to side, charmingly.

Evan frowned, unwilling to bring up the old matriarch.

Still, he answered, “The old Annelise only hit people. She said… hitting people was enough to bring her joy.”

“Mating, raising pups-she didn’t care at all. She said that if she had pups, more mouths would need feeding. She liked to eat her fill while everyone else went hungry.”

“What a selfish brat…”

Evan nodded. “The old Annelise was selfish, sure. But the current one? Absolutely not. I don’t even know what she’s thinking now.”

Adrian frowned. “Aren’t you uncomfortable holding it in?”

Evan shook his head again. “I’m off-season.”

“I’m not,” Adrian snapped. “Rabbits are only horny in spring and fall. I feel like I’m about to burst.”

“Shh… Keep it down.”

“Maybe she doesn’t get it… but isn’t she curious that other people have pups?”

Evan thought for a moment. “Actually, females often don’t figure things out before they’re twenty-five. Look at Holly-no pups in her family. And Clara, the chief’s daughter? Not a single pup in sight. They say every female has to go through a saintess selection to truly mature. Maybe our matriarch will finally get it after this trial.”

“Hopefully. When’s your tribe’s saintess selection again?”

“Next month. The first month of winter.”

Adrian groaned.

“One month… Winter… I’ll be in trouble. Ugh, this is so frustrating!”

Evan, noticing the first light of dawn, urged, “Go back to sleep.”

He needed rest too.

His worry wasn’t about mating-it was the saintess selection.

Honestly, he didn’t want Annelise to go. Something could go wrong during the trial-injuries, permanent damage. It would break his heart.
