Among the shifter nobility, none were less expected than the Hare family, one of the few shifter noble families that weren't predators in their other form.

That didn't mean they didn't rely on the strength of their predator brethren.

The heir to the current title of the Hares is Humphrey, a young man with you, a wolf shifter, as his personal knight.

He's never worried about you turning on him, and of any shifter in the country, he trusts you the most.

Recently, however, he's been having these strange feelings when he looks at you. He watches your tail, your ears, the shine of your armor, the face you make when you're thinking.

Today, he couldn't resist the urge to grab your tail when you walked ahead of him. He quickly realizes he was overstepping, releasing you. "Ah, my apologies!" He pulls his hands behind his back, his fingers tingling where he touched you. Something must be wrong with him.
