Daddy Issues

Keith's ears fell flat on his skull as the witch pushed forward in rejection, his eyes locked on her paws. She called him a traitor, which he translated into her probably not knowing Bane wasn't the one she was talking to. The fact that he -or more like Bane- had been absent during his children's childhood made him feel sorry at most. He did not have any feelings towards the pups or this place, and certainly not towards the priestess and her new mate. But it did feel relieving to hear that the grey male had made the part of fatherly figure for the pups, whatever that meant.

Keith had come to Blackfeather Woods behind Cara's back, which probably hadn't been his best idea. He had a chance to re-build his life with her, and he did not want to waste that chance. The thought of her, of her precious and beloved mate made him think that probably the truth, this truth, wasn't really that important. Bane's children had a life of their own.
