"I've heard from Kade and Fen that you've been raising a pet fox. You didn't bring it with you?"
Felix's smile dropped at Cael's question, and he lowered his head.
The last thing he needed right now was to be reminded of the fox. Yes, he had left Silverfall because of him, because he didn't know how much he could trust him after finding out the truth… But that didn't mean he didn't miss Remi.
He missed that sneaky fox a lot.
Even though it's only been three days since they last saw each other.
But he couldn't just return. Not yet, at least. He needed to sort his thoughts and feelings first…
Because if he chose to come back, the future would be difficult. Even now, Felix's blood only helped Remi transform for longer. But the curse was supposed to get worse with age… His father had died young because of it. What if one day Felix's blood would no longer be enough? Was he supposed to give up his life then?
