Chapter 85 Let Me Go With You

Rosalie’s legs finally gave out. She hadn’t slept well, and her head was spinning while her body felt weak. She wrapped her arms around Leon’s neck. He hooked her thighs and lifted her higher, carrying her steadily.
Bathed in the warm sunlight, Rosalie felt safe and cozy. Her head bobbed once or twice before she rested it on Leon’s shoulder and drifted off to sleep.
When she woke again, she was lying on a soft bed. One layer of her heavy beast-hide clothing had been removed, and her face had been cleaned. She felt completely refreshed.
Opening her eyes, she saw Micah sitting beside her, watching her closely.
Rosalie reached for his hand, only to find it icy cold. Quickly, she pulled it under the blanket and held it with both hands, feeling warmth slowly return. Micah smiled and brushed the stray hair from her temple.
“Why am I in bed?” she asked, recalling Leon carrying her on his back.
It had been so warm that she’d fallen asleep, and now seeing Micah right there felt wonderful.
“Matriarch, you looked exhausted. I took off your outer clothes so you could rest.
“When you didn’t come back yesterday, I was really worried.”
After warming one of his hands, Rosalie switched to the other, tucking it into the blanket as well.
“I had some family matters to deal with. I didn’t want you two worrying, so I had Elijah come back to tell you.”
“Yeah, he did. But when you’re not here, I get nervous.
“I was afraid you might leave and never come back.”
Rosalie sat up and hugged him, her voice soft. “Dummy. This is my home. If I’m not here, where else would I go?”

The next day, the snow finally stopped. Declan and Cameron shoveled the courtyard.
After getting dressed, Rosalie prepared to head to the House of Delicacies.
Micah wrapped a scarf around her neck. “The roads are dangerous. Let me go with you.”
Thinking about her plans for the day, Rosalie’s heart skipped. She looked up at him. His eyes were soft, entirely focused on her.
She felt guilty. She planned to borrow money and speak with Gael about the promise she had made.
Not daring to let Micah see through her, Rosalie hugged him, burying her face against his chest.
“You’re not fully recovered. Elijah and Declan will go with me.”
“Alright.”
Micah kissed her forehead and walked her to the door.
Cameron came out of the kitchen with a cup of water and saw her about to leave. Wiping his mouth, he hurried over.
“Are
you going out? I’ll go with you!”
Rosalie pushed him gently back inside. He staggered a few steps backward.
“No need. I’ll be back soon.”
She closed the door and hurried off.
