It was only then that Rosalie noticed how pale Leon was. Sweat was pouring down his face.

How could she forget? Leon was still sick. He could pass out again at any moment!

Seeing him swaying like he was about to collapse made Rosalie’s eyes fill with tears. She wanted to drag him and run together, but they wouldn’t get far that way.

This wasn’t the time to get emotional. Harris was closing in. She steeled herself, grabbed Leon, and kissed him deeply. Hot tears-maybe hers, maybe his-fell to the ground, kicking up tiny clouds of dust.

A second later, Rosalie let go and said earnestly, “Leon, you have to come back alive. I love you.”

Leon’s normally calm eyes turned red. He nodded and said quietly, “Matriarch, go.”

As Rosalie turned and ran, Leon wiped the sweat from his forehead, shifted back into a black panther, and let out a roar that shook the trees.

Rosalie ran with everything she had. Tears and sweat mixed together, burning her

eyes.

She couldn’t stop. She realized she had been too naive-she didn’t expect things to go this wrong. If her mistake caused her beastmen to die, she would kill Harris and then join them in death. She wasn’t going to live alone like a coward.

The wind whipped past her ears as she reached a familiar dirt path. She was so close to the city.

Suddenly, a blast of force slammed into her back.

Rosalie dove to the side, rolling across the ground. The dust she kicked up blinded the predator’s view.

Her heart was thumping. They’d caught up to her.

She gripped her bone knife tightly. Using her small frame to her advantage, she slipped into the trees and hid behind a huge trunk.

Fighting out in the open was suicide. All she could do now was stall for time.

As the dust settled, she saw a deep set of claw marks carved into the dirt right where she had been standing.

If she hadn’t dodged, she’d be lying in a pool of blood right now,

Harris wasn’t in great shape either. His already vicious-looking face had even more cuts on it,

his animal-hide clothes were shredded. He reeked of blood.

Rosalie tried to hold her breath. Harris let out a creepy laugh as he walked slowly into the woods. He started taunting her. “I heard you’re the matriarch of those two little bastards? You should thank them for the mess you’re in today!

“If you weren’t their Matriarch, you wouldn’t be dying today!”

As he talked, he dragged his sharp claws across the trees he passed, making a screeching sound.

Suddenly, he lost his cool and started screaming.

“If I hadn’t been so nice and spared their lives, I wouldn’t be in this situation!

“I should’ve killed them all! Now they’ll pay for what they did!”

His footsteps came closer. Harris clearly knew where she was hiding. All this talking was just him playing with her.

Finally, he got bored with the game and walked straight to the tree where Rosalie was hiding.

His voice was low and hoarse. “Game over. Die!”

Harris shifted into a tiger and lunged at her. Rosalie could see his yellow, foul-smelling fangs aiming right at her face.

Surprisingly, she wasn’t scared; just sad. She had finally made some money, found people she loved, and started a good life. And now she was going to die?

She just hoped her beastmen wouldn’t be too heartbroken after she was gone.

Right as Rosalie braced herself for death, a dragon’s roar ripped through the forest.

It was so loud it echoed inside her brain, stirring a primal terror.

Suddenly, someone grabbed Rosalie by the waist and yanked her away right as Harris’s teeth snapped shut on thin air. Harris looked around, furious, trying to see who had the guts to steal his prey.

Rosalie’s heart pounded. She stared dumbly at the beastman holding her and whispered, “Declan, you’re back.”
