Daniel felt the air knock out of his lungs as his eyes met with the largest, bluest eyes he had ever seen. It was misty and glassy, and she looked so vunerable as she made herself comfortable in his arms after they had exchanged glances.
"She's sleeping again." Nancy pointed out, leaning close to Daniel to stroke her fur again.
"She wanted to make sure she has her mate by her side before she goes into slumber again."
"What would happen if she hadn't seen Daniel?"
"She'd throw a rampage and die." Acella causally replied and everyone stared at her in horror.
Axel sighed. "When a Kitsune shape shifts for the first time, it's like giving birth. She's like a baby who needs to replenish her lost energy while shape shifting or she wouldn't be able to shift back into her human form. So she needs enough rest, and she wouldn't feel comfortable If her mate isn't around."
Everyone slowly nodded, finally understanding.
