Micah shot Cameron a look. “Pretty sure they’d be snakelets,” he corrected.

As soon as he said it, both of them froze. The truth was-they had no idea whose child Rosalie was carrying.

Snake and fox turned to look at her together. Rosalie gave a wry little smile. She admitted, “I don’t know either.”

Cameron pouted, then muttered after a beat, “Doesn’t matter whose kid it is. It’s the Matriarch’s. I’d like it all the same.”

Rosalie hadn’t expected the little fox to have grown this much. She smiled with her eyes and leaned in to press a kiss to his cheek.

Micah added, “Same here. Even with a child, you’ll still be the most important one in my heart.”

Rosalie refused to play favorites and gave Micah a big, solid kiss as well.

Once the news of Rosalie’s pregnancy got out, everyone was over the moon-everyone except Elijah, who hovered just outside the circle of joy.

Elijah stood alone off to the side, with no place to chime in.

Back when Declan was still around, he’d at least had someone to stand with. Now that Declan was gone, he was the only one who just didn’t fit into this home.

Gael and Julien arrived when they heard the commotion. When they learned Rosalie was pregnant, their expressions turned complicated, but they still offered smiles and congratulations.

Since they were there, Rosalie took the chance to settle the rice shop’s accounts with them and paid back 300 coins first.

They’d said she didn’t need to repay them, but debts should be paid-only then could you borrow again. Husbands or not, she still had to keep her word.

With the remaining 50 coins, Rosalie exchanged for a medicine in the system to heal Elijah’s

tail.

She’d wanted to buy that pill for a long time, but one mishap after another had kept her in debt

until now.

Once she finally held the medicine, she didn’t give it to Elijah right away. She waited until deep into the night.

That night, she asked Elijah to meet her by the river. She opened her hand and showed him the pill resting in her palm.

Elijah gave her a questioning look.

“If you take this, the feathers on your tail will grow back,” she said.

Unexpectedly, there was no joy on his startlingly beautiful face. His expression stayed flat, lips pressed in a hard line.

Rosalie frowned slightly and pushed the pill toward him again.

Elijah flicked his hand, knocking the pill from her palm. His voice was cold and hard. “I don’t

want it.”

Rosalie squatted down, picked the pill back up, and coaxed, “Your peacock tail matters a lot, doesn’t it? It was my fault, plucking your feathers before.

“Now I can finally pay you back. Once your tail grows out again, you’ll be able to find a wife who suits

you

better.”

Rosalie knew male peacocks attracted females by fanning out their gorgeous tails in a display.

She’d always felt guilty about how the original host had ruined Elijah’s tail. At least now, she could make it up to him.

Rosalie brushed the dirt off the pill and offered it to him again.

Elijah stared at her intensely, his striking eyes holding an emotion Rosalie couldn’t quite read.

He pinched the pill between two fingers and slowly raised it to eye level under her gaze, examining it closely.

Rosalie assumed he didn’t trust her, that he was afraid she’d poisoned it, so she reached over, took the pill, and lifted it toward her mouth, ready to bite off a piece to prove it was safe.

But before it could reach her lips, Elijah grabbed the back of her head and pressed his mouth to hers.

He swallowed the pill himself. Rosalie’s eyes flew wide, and in the moonlight, Elijah’s eyes glimmered like the most precious glass.

His tongue was soft, tracing delicately inside her mouth. Rosalie tried to pull away, but his hand clamped firmly at her waist, refusing to let her go.
