Her eyes soften and she reaches toward me. “You’re different, Felix. I promise, you are.”

“Pack,” I repeat absently, thinking that they sound like animals. 

“Took,” she says. “Painier asked me to come here and check in on you. He knew he couldn’t be here tonight and he was afraid that when he showed up in the morning that you would be gone.” 

I nod, a watery smile cresting my lips. “I was going to be,” 1 admit. I’m still not sure I should stay.”

“Hunters?!” Draven exclaims, her face going white with fright. 

“Poachers,” Toedora clarifies, her face deadly serious. 

“Domonic” Draven starts, cutting off when Tedora shakes her head.

I shake my head, no. I lost it somewhere. But there’s a landline in this room. An old cordless phone. You gave me your number.
