Voren couldn't shake off the guilt weighing heavily on his heart. He knew he should have waited, given Ravyn enough time to process everything and come to terms with the heartbreaking choice he had been forced to make, but somehow, he hadn't been able to bring himself to do that.
Every time he remembered how Ravyn had struggled to accept the decision to let the Moon Goddess take back the twin pups growing in Daisy's womb, his heart ached all over again.
His best friend had agreed to something that would cost him two unborn children, and what hurt Voren even more was that Ravyn hadn't complained or tried to make anyone feel guilty about the sacrifice he was making.
It hadn't happened yet, and nobody knew exactly when the exchange would take place, but Ravyn had already given his permission. That alone meant more to Voren than he could ever explain because he understood what it had cost his friend to make that decision, especially after everything Ravyn had lost over the years.
