I think I'm going into shock. First I almost died, twice! then I found out my entire species had been murdered, then, I found out that not only was there still fox shifters alive, but, they were in danger and to top it all off my mate was the soon to be Alpha, Goddess! After I had escaped the claws of Winston's dad I scampered upstairs and hid around the bend in the hallway, were I could hear the family's conversation but I couldn't be seen.

"What do you mean? There's a den of fox? How close?"
I heard Winston say I couldn't see him, but I imagined him sitting running his hand through his thick dark hair. I heard shuffling maybe Winston's dad moving around? "Yes, there's a den about 40 miles east of Here," I heard a ruff voice grumble, Walter.

"What does this mean, Dad?" Winston asked. "Ha! What does this mean?! We've gotta kill them, Win," Walter roared. My heart jumped and I pushed back farther into my hiding spot. I heard Winston shuffle around "why?" He yelled. "What the hell is wrong with you! Why you shouting?" Walter yelled back. "Never mind, sure. let's just fucking kill them," Winston sighed. "Winston!" I heard his mother shout.

"Winston. You will shape up, and you will except my decision." Walter commanded. I could practically hear Winston's eye roll. "Very well, Dad. Is that all?" Winston sighed. After that they talked about family affairs and such. I curled up in the hall and allowed myself to drift off I kept my ears open I heard the family shuffling which was followed by a series of good byes. I heard the shifters move towards the front entrance. "Remember Winston we will inform the rest of the pack of our battle plan this Thursday, 3 days kid, get ready. We fight on Friday," Walter said. "Yeah okay, Dad, bye mom love ya,"

I heard the door click shut. The house filled with silence. "Bell?" Winston shouted, "I'm sorry about my dad, Bell? Come here, do you want a snack?" I licked my lips, a snack sounded nice. I stood up and stretched after shaking out my fur I trotted down the steps.

I trotted into the kitchen, Winston stood in front of the stove, his elbows rested on the island counter his head was held in his hand. Winston was mumbling, I walked closer, head tilted. Winston? I thought, I wanted to ask him what was wrong, If only I could speak to him.

Pushing up onto my back legs I placed my front paws on Winston legs, I felt Winston jump, his head shot up. "Bell!" Winston bent down and scooped me up into his arms. I licked Winston, I couldn't help myself, my tongue glided across the bottom of Winston's chin. He laughed and rubbed the back of my head, "here buddy," Winston said placing me on the counter.

Winston left and returned a moment later after raiding the fridge, in his hand he held a white and blue plastic cup. He peeled a golden seal off the top of the cup before placing it on the counter next to me. The cup was full of light pink cream, I gave Winston a questionable look.

"Its yogurt, just try it, I'm sure it's safe... hold up," Winston ran off to Google if yogurt was safe for foxes to eat. If it's safe for humans then I'll be fine, I took a hesitant lick, the thick cream stuck to my tongue, but it tasted fine.

After finishing my yogurt, Winston came into my room "okay I couldn't find anything," I trotted over to him, to the best of my ability while I was still on the counter, after checking that I had eaten all my food he lifted me off the table and set me on the ground. Winston headed into the living room and sat on the couch turning on the tv. My eyes drifted shut and I fell asleep.

Sorry if this chapter is a bit all over the place I was watching true crime shows while writing and my mind was split between the two but I really needed to get this written. P.s. I googled if yogurt was safe for pets after writing this chapter here's what I found: Fox: I didn't find much but I did watch a cute video of a fox licking yogurt off someone's finger so maybe it's okay in small amounts?? Dog: if your dog doesn't vomit or have diarrhea after eating the yogurt occasional small amounts should be fine but I wouldn't recommend it. Cat: most cats grow up lactose intolerant (DO NOT GIVE A ADULT CAT MILK) but the live bacteria in yogurt could help your cat with digestion so small amounts to some cats is fine. If you do want to give your pet yogurt do some of your own research but I won't recommend it, just buy some specialty made treats. P.s. I actually can't want to post this I don't even know why it's not that great.
