Cameron walked in and swapped the warm beast hide on Christopher’s forehead for a fresh one cooled in water.

Rosalie looped her arm around him and gently kissed his lips, smiling.

“Cammo, you did amazing today. Honestly, you surprised me.”

Even Rosalie hadn’t expected him to handle everything so smoothly-no impatience, nothing. He boiled the medicine, let it cool carefully, and fed it to Christopher. He even remembered to switch the hide on the wolf cub’s head. It was like he’d become a totally different person.

Cameron’s ears flushed red. “It was my fault. I should take responsibility.”

With that, he fled in embarrassment. The wolf cub was still there. He worried he’d lose control, so it was better to back off for now.

After all, the idea of having a child with Rosalie had already taken deep root in his mind.

Christopher was a beastman. He fell sick quickly, but recovered just as fast. In only one day, he was almost completely better.

Cameron stopped hovering over him, and the two of them ended up in a playful snowball fight in the yard.

Rosalie watched them with a helpless smile, glancing up at the blazing sun.

The weather was warming, the chillwave fading.

The snow wasn’t as thick anymore, and she didn’t need to bundle up so much. She called Elijah to join her for a walk in the forest.

She wanted to check whether the paddy and wheat had survived the wind and snow.

The deeper they went, the thicker the trees became. Less sunlight reached the ground, and the snow didn’t melt easily. Walking became difficult for Rosalie, and Elijah noticed it.

He suddenly stopped, making her almost bump into him. He turned around and looked at her deeply.

Then, in a sudden swirl of wind and snow, Elijah transformed into his beast form.

A massive peacock stood on the snow-covered ground. His eyes were like black gems, and the feathers on his face shimmered with rainbow light. He looked so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.

Chapter 91 Lie Down on My Back

Finished

But his tail was bare, pitiful, and dull. Rosalie felt a sudden ache in her chest. If Elijah’s tail were still there, how breathtaking would he be?

The peacock called for her to climb onto his back.

Rosalie hesitated but then stepped up. His back was broad, his feathers soft and faintly fragrant.

She wanted to bury her face in them and take a deep breath, but she didn’t dare. Instead, she sat properly, gripping two feathers to keep her balance.

“Matriarch, you can lie down on my back.”

The familiar voice came from the peacock.

Rosalie laughed awkwardly. “No, sitting like this is fine.”

Suddenly, the peacock surged forward. Rosalie lifted into the air and fell against his back, her face pressed into the shimmering feathers. She inhaled instinctively.

Elijah’s unique scent hit her. It was strong, dizzying, and intoxicating.

Rosalie stayed perfectly still. The peacock beneath her stopped jolting and kept a steady pace.

She felt like she was lying on a soft, cozy bed, almost dozing off. She didn’t even notice when the footsteps stopped.

All of a sudden, she felt weightless, and then landed in a broad, solid embrace.

Elijah had switched back to human form, holding Rosalie in his arms.

Her eyes met his calm, clear gaze. They looked just the same as always, yet her cheeks burned.

Flustered, she jumped down and hurried toward the paddy fields, but Elijah caught her wrist.

Rosalie didn’t dare look back. “What is it?”

His eyes flickered for a moment. “Nothing. The ground is slippery. Be careful.”

Rosalie shook his hand off. Her face was already flushed. She didn’t know why, but the instant he held her, her heart had skipped a beat, worried he’d say something.

The cold wind finally helped her settle down. Ahead, the vast paddy fields were completely buried under snow.

Her chest tightened. After all the days buried, the crops probably hadn’t survived. Once the chillwave ended, they’d have to start planting from scratch.
