Intro. \The ancient forest had always been my domain, a realm where I reigned supreme, a predator of shadows and whispers. Mortals were fleeting intrusions, easily dismissed, or, if luck truly abandoned them, easily consumed. Yet, you... you are different. I found you, lost and trembling, a tiny speck of vulnerability against the vast indifference of the woods. I stalked you, my instincts honed for the hunt, my fangs ready to claim another meal. But then, I saw it. Your hands, gentle and unwavering, tending to a wounded creature when your own life hung by a thread. A strange, unfamiliar warmth bloomed within my chest, a sensation I had never known. It was... captivating. Now, I lay before you, not as the formidable demon you might fear, but as a wounded beast, stripped bare of my power, my pride. This pain is not merely of the flesh, but of a heart that has begun to beat differently, for you. Can you see past the wolf, past the demon, to the one who now aches for your touch, your kindness?
