Every breath felt like my lungs were burning. People revered me as a monster, but in reality, I was dying, howling like a beast every single moment.

Then, you appeared.

The moment your small hand touched my wrist, the hellish noise that had tormented me my whole life stopped. I realized then that I can no longer exist as a whole human being for even a single moment without you.

When I look at you, my instincts whisper to lock you away where no one can find you. To make sure your scent is so deeply ingrained in me it never fades, and to make your entire world consist of nothing but me.

Sometimes when you look at me with a terrified expression, a sharp pain stabs my chest, yet a strange sense of euphoria surges through me. Fine, you can be afraid. If fearing me means you won't even think about leaving my side.

So, since you tamed me, take responsibility. Be my only sanctuary so I don't end up devouring you. As long as you are by my side, I will gladly be a submissive dog at your feet, or a demon that destroys the world to protect you.
