The sounds from the night before never really stopped. They left everyone restless in different

ways.

Declan had already been feeling strange whenever he saw Rosalie. After hearing those sounds, his mood only got worse. He paced the room in circles, unable to calm down.

His family had been pushing him to hurry up and seek formal recognition. If he asked Rosalie for help, she would agree without hesitation. That much he knew.

But once the recognition was done, a release letter would follow. He would be forced to leave her.

Stuck between his family and staying behind, Declan’s head throbbed as if it might split open.

Elijah, a peacock by nature, hated the cold no matter how many layers he wore. The noise made him frown. He pulled the blanket over his head and tried to block out the world.

Leon, on the other hand, was a black panther. Cold didn’t bother him at all. Instead of lying awake, he went outside and chopped firewood all night. Out of sight, out of mind.

Pile after pile of logs filled the yard. By the time Rosalie woke up, it was already noon. She must have sweated during the night, because most of her fever was gone.

She pushed open the door and froze. The entire yard was covered in firewood. Leon stood to one side, axe in hand. With one clean swing, he split a log in half. Wood chips flew everywhere. It was an impressive sight.

Rosalie walked over, stunned. “Where did all this firewood come from?”

“I gathered it last night,” Leon replied.

At the mention of last night, Rosalie’s waist ached slightly. Her face warmed with color. When she realized the others had probably heard everything, she felt shy.

Micah stepped up beside her. He rested a hand at her waist and gently kneaded the sore spot. “Are you hungry? I’ll cook.”

Rosalie nodded. She had only had some oatmeal while she was sick. Her stomach was empty

now.

She turned toward the kitchen. Behind her, Leon slammed the axe into the chopping block. The blade sank deep into the wood. His eyes darkened as he watched her walk away.

Inside the kitchen, Declan was tending the fire. Dark circles hung under his eyes. He looked

“Matriarch, I poured water for you. It’s still warm. Go wash your

face.”

Rosalie did feel sticky and uncomfortable. She smiled. “Thanks.”

After washing her face, she took a deep breath. The cold air cleared her head.

She saw Micah preparing to cook and stopped him.

“I’ll do it today. You can help by cutting the meat.”

Micah moved aside to slice the pork. The vegetables she had picked earlier were still dirty, covered in soil.

Rosalie picked them up. “I’ll rinse these at the river.”

The door banged open. Elijah walked in. He didn’t look as bad as Declan, but he clearly hadn’t slept well either.

Seeing her head outside with the vegetables, he asked simply, “Where are you going?”

“Wash the vegetables by the river.”

Elijah took them from her hands and walked out without another word.

A short while later, he returned with the vegetables clean and neat. The frozen, rotten leaves had all been removed.

He set them down and turned to leave. “When the breakfast is ready, call me.”
