“Tell Grace her beastman and Christopher are here.
“Tell her also that they’re safe, and she can take her time
“Yes,” Leon said.
When he reached the doorway, he looked back once. Rosalie’s fingertip hooked around Micah’s, swinging his finger like she was holding onto a small secret.
Leon shut his eyes. His body shifted into his beast form as he sprinted into the distance.
Grace’s beastman was awake. She sat beside him, tears streaking down her face as she held the little wolf cub tight against her chest.
Rosalie spoke gently. “Grace, he’s alive. That’s good news, so don’t drown yourself in fear.”
Grace clutched her hand. Her voice shook. “Rosalie, I can’t thank you enough.
“If you hadn’t helped him, he would be gone.”
She wiped her cheeks and nudged the cub toward Rosalie. “Rosalie, take Christopher as your godson. We’ll always break bread with you.”
Rosalie gave a soft, helpless smile. She opened her mouth, but Cameron jumped in, outraged.
“No way!” he shouted.
Grace stared. She had never seen a beastman act like that. She grabbed Rosalie’s hand. “Rosalie, you can’t spoil him. A husband needs rules. If you let him act up, he’ll walk all over you.”
Rosalie laughed lightly. “Cammo, go bring us some water.”
Cameron knew he had gone too far. He lowered his head. “Yes, Matriarch.”
Grace already spoke to Rosalie like she was family. “Rosalie, keep the cub. He’ll help you when he grows up.”
She glanced at the corner of the room. “And those husbands of yours don’t seem very thoughtful. You can always release them.”
Grace kept talking, drifting off more and more.
Rosalie listened with a small smile, the corners of her eyes soft and bright.
The bowl shattered on the floor.
Cameron’s face drained of color. His eyes rimmed red. is lips shook. “You want to release every single one of us?”
He froze as if a thunder struck him frozen. His teeth binto his lip until it turned bright red, staring at Rosalie with hurt and fury tangled together. Then he spin around and bolted out of the room.
Grace jumped up. “Rosalie! Your beastman needs someeal manners. He actually had the gall to throw attitude at you.”

Rosalie pressed her hand on Grace’s arm. “Grace, ever since I was kicked out of the tribe, I’ve been thinking a lot.
“I used to be arrogant. These men only stayed because they were forced.
“I see things clearer now. There’s no point holding on to husbands who never cared for me. When the time comes, I’ll let them all go.”
Grace’s voice softened. She could hear the forlornness in Rosalie’s voice. She let out a sigh. “Rosalie, no matter what you did before, I know you’re a good person.
“If they don’t treasure you, that just means they don’t know quality when it’s right in front of them.”
Rosalie gave a faint nod.
