Before he could argue, Anneliese shoved a pill past his lips. “It’s for the pain and swelling. I made it with wild herbs.”

“I really don’t nee-mmf.”

Too late. He swallowed it.

Then, he let out a breath, picked her up like a toddler, and gently set her down from the rock.

“As long as you’re not hurting, Ms. Crawford, that’s what matters. Want me to blow on it again?”

Anneliese grabbed his arm.

“Rokky, did you see what happened? If you keep letting them do whatever they want, they’re just gonna keep pushing. Look at me. They hurt me. Is that what you wanted?”

“No!”

He stared down at his hands.

“But I clawed the chief’s daughter’s mate. Nobody else in the tribe’s got claws like mine. One look and they’ll know I did it…”

His voice got quieter. Guilt started creeping into his face.

“I’m such a screwup. I didn’t fight when I should’ve, and I couldn’t protect you. Then when I finally fought, I just made things worse. Maybe I never should’ve come back with you. Maybe I never should’ve become your mate… ah, ow!”

Anneliese had jumped back onto the rock and chomped down hard on his neck.

Even though they were already bonded, that bite made Rokky jerk.

His jaguar ears twitched, and all five of his tails shot straight out.

Anneliese gave a sharp snort. Good. That snapped him out of it. “You already said no. That was enough. Why do you always pile more on, like every bad thing is somehow your fault?

“But it’s not. You were just a kid when someone dumped you here. They’re the ones to blame.

“And when none of the women could bond with you? That was on them. Not you. lost control? That wasn’t your fault either.”

When

you

His eyes welled up.

No one had ever told him that. Not once.

Everywhere he went, people called him a freak. They ran from him. They threw things. Screamed for him to leave.

Only Anneliese ever said anything different.

His chest got tight. His heart started to race.

It wasn’t like he chose to mate. His heart just wouldn’t shut up.

His face burned red.

Anneliese didn’t even notice. She was busy tying all five of his tails into one big floppy bow behind him.

“Alright. Let’s go

teach those three idiots a lesson. You don’t have to hold back anymore. I brought medicine that’ll wipe your scent and cover up the claw marks.”

Rokky blinked. “Wait, really?”

“For real. I went east the other day to check on Snowball, and I came across this patch of wild herbs. They smelled amazing, so I took some home. Ran tests. Turns out, they totally block shifter scent. Even better, they work great on bruises and swelling. Heals fast and leaves nothing behind.”

He didn’t fully get it, but he was clearly trying.

Anneliese leaned closer. “Ugh, fine. Here’s the simple version. You beat them up. I’ll use the medicine on them. They’ll still hurt like hell, but there won’t be any scent or claw marks left. Got it? You won’t get in trouble.”

Rokky still looked unsure, but he remembered how everyone kept thanking Anneliese for healing them. So, if she made something, it probably worked.

Anneliese saw him hesitating and pushed again. “Rokky, look at my forehead. It hurts. Bad. You seriously don’t want to get back at them for this?”

“I do! I don’t care what they do to me, but they don’t get to hurt you!”

She smirked. “Then let’s go.”

He took a few steps before freezing. His tails were still tied, so he untied them himself. He didn’t get mad. He just gave her head a gentle pat. “Ms. Crawford, you’re such a little troublemaker.”

“Hold up-where did that ‘troublemaker’ line even come from?”

Rokky stopped and looked up at the sky.

“I don’t know. I think… I called someone that before. A kid, maybe. But I can’t remember.” He clenched a fist and smacked his own head. “My brain’s so useless!”

Anneliese grabbed his hand. “Cut that out! Once the trials are over, I’ll start your treatment. If you called me that, it means you must’ve looked after a kid before.”

The way he acted. The way he talked. The way he always protected her. Anneliese couldn’t help wondering more.

She hadn’t started treatment yet because things had been crazy.

And fixing a brain wasn’t like setting a bone.

It needed time. A lot of it. And no skipped steps.

She couldn’t stop herself. “Say it again.”

“Ms. Crawford… troublemaker?”

“Ugh. Don’t say it like that. Say it right.”

Rokky looked down.

Somehow, that made it easier. “Ms. Crawford, you troublemaker. Trouble-making Ms. Crawford. You’re sixteen years younger than me. Of course I’d call you that.”
