A small dent had appeared on the scale. The knife from earlier had struck it head-on.
Declan’s tight chest finally relaxed, but tears kept falling down his face.
Rosalie smiled at him. “Declan, your treasure saved my life.”
Before the moment could sink in, Rosalie let out a sharp cry. Her body curled inward as pain hit her all at
once.
There was no time for emotions. Micah pushed past Declan and quickly checked on Rosalie.
Micah frequently visited the Healers’ Guild to study medicine, particularly childbirth, during the month he had been away. One look was enough.
She was going into labor.
Micah scooped Rosalie up in his arms and shouted hoarsely, “The matriarch is having the baby! We need a clean place, now!”
The expressions on the men’s faces instantly tightened.
Rosalie was in too much pain to speak.
There was no time to return to Vaford. Micah moved fast and brought her to the nearest town instead.
Cameron rushed off to find a healer. Rosalie lay on the bed, sweat pouring down her face.
Micah stayed calm and gave orders quickly. “Declan, heat up some water.”
“Elijah, bring clean animal hides.”
“Leon, stay here and help me.”
At a moment like this, everyone moved without hesitation.
They all knew how dangerous childbirth could be.
Micah’s face was grim.
From inside the room came Rosalie’s muffled cries, one wave after another.
The sun moved from high in the sky to the edge of the horizon before the sounds finally faded.
Then, after a long pause, a thin, sharp cry broke the silence.
Outside the door, Cameron, Elijah, and Declan-who had been pacing anxiously-finally let out a breath.
The door opened. Micah stepped out and poured out a basin of water. Leon followed, holding a baby wrapped in soft animal hide. The baby was crying loudly.
Elijah and Declan glanced at the child once before hurrying to the bed. Rosalie lay there with her eyes

closed, her face pale as paper.
She was completely exhausted.

Cameron stayed behind, gently teasing the baby. To his surprise, the moment the baby sensed him nearby, the crying stopped.
The baby broke into a wide smile. Cameron reached out a finger.
The baby laughed and grabbed it. Suddenly, a pair of fluffy fox ears popped up on the baby’s head.
Cameron froze. Then, joy hit him like a wave.
In this world, some children didn’t show their beast traits until they were older. Babies who showed them at birth were very rare.
Leon saw the fox ears too. Among them, only Micah and Cameron had been with the matriarch.
That meant only one thing. This baby was Cameron’s.
Cameron was so overwhelmed he couldn’t speak. He was a father now.
Micah soon returned with another basin of warm water. He also noticed the fox ears right away.
Because Cameron was so excited, his fox ears popped out and twitched back and forth, making the baby laugh even harder.
One big fox. One little fox. Father and son, without a doubt.
Micah felt a brief sting of sadness, but he quickly adjusted.
As long as the child belonged to Rosalie, he would love them all the same.
He gently ushered the others away from the bed and closed the door.
