"Yeeeep!"
Felix was woken up by the fox's loud, sharp cry.
His mind was still clouded at first, from the potion-enhanced sleep. Only for a brief moment, though, because soon enough, something even more frightening than Remi's cry startled him, shaking him down to the core.
The pull of the bond.
That damned fated mate bond.
Pulling right at him, so intense that it almost took his breath away momentarily.
His fated mate was near. Very near.
In the same room, actually.
His wolf stirred anxiously. Unlike before, though, it was no longer excited about the presence of the mate. Why, Felix didn't know. Maybe because his wolf had already grown attached to Kade, so it valued it more than this bond. Or maybe because this unexpected night visit smelled like danger. For Felix, and for his pup. Or maybe it simply was finally more in tune with Felix's own feelings and emotions.
Either way, Felix didn't have the time to think about that now.
