(From Leandro's Perspective)

I was a bit away from my cave, listening to the footsteps intently. They thought that I did not know about their plan of trying to kill me tonight. But thanks to Ella's unbearable curiosity, she managed to know about the attack and told me about it.

Thinking about Ella without remembering her hurt face hurt. I should not have been like that to her. She just told me a single thing- trust me. But I was a fool to ask how could I trust her.

She thought that I had started to trust her, and she was not wrong. But I was too afraid to show it even though I wanted to.

She was worried about me, she wanted me to be safe. She had been saying so again and again, but all I did was hurt her. I felt like a true monster, even crueler than my monster was.

Her face kept coming back to me no matter how hard I tried not to think about her. Her smile, her blabbering, everything were the things I wanted to see and hear more. I could not believe that it had been my new favorite hobby to listen to her as she would talk about different things. She once asked me what my hobby was. Even back then, it was her talking that was my hobby. But I did not tell her that. Part of me could not even though I wanted to.

I was sitting on a huge stone, thinking about a girl like a fool. But perhaps I would not mind being a fool for her. The thought terrified me. The attraction towards her was getting unbearable day by day. And I was sure that it would not be long before I was going to do something stupid. I did not want to do something against her will, but with her around, my monster did not want to stay at bay.

I was sure about one thing that my monster did not want to kill her. He wanted her, not for killing, but for staying with her. My monster wanted to claim her, to make her his, and so did I.

But I was determined to control myself. I was not going to hurt her. I just needed to keep a distance between us. Now that we were not going to kiss again as per the deal, the distance would be manageable. But I was not sure that if I would be alright with not being able to kiss her.

I wondered if she felt the same way if she was going to miss my kiss as well. I wished she did. I wanted her to feel what I was feeling at the time.

She perhaps was at Edrich's place at the time with that boy. I did not like the way they touched each other without bothering. I did not even know if they slept together. I asked her, but she did not say anything clearly.

I had no intention of letting her go with that boy when they would stay alone in the house at night. But there was no other choice. I needed her to be safe and at least, she was going to be safe there.

Even though she was angry at me, I was sure that she was going to make sure that Edrich was out of the house that night. After spending these days with her, I kind of understood her. I knew she would do anything to keep someone safe who she cared about. And it was obvious that she cared about me. Her eyes told it all, and even she admitted it without hesitation.

Suddenly I heard a noise. They were here. They would not be able to hear or smell me. All they could do was see. And this was my biggest advantage.

They thought I was in my cave, so they headed that way, I could tell by their smell. I smiled inwardly thinking about what news my brother was going to get tomorrow. He was going to lose a handful of his first-class shifters.

I started walking towards my cave slowly, thinking of how they were going to die tonight. My monster was going to come out of me any time, but I wanted that to happen after going in front of them. Even in my human form, I had almost the same hearing and smelling sense as in my monster form.

"Another mistake of sneaking up on the Beast," I said.

There were almost twenty Orgades in front of my cave and a shifter who was leading them. The shifter was not in his Orgade form. I knew him very well. How could I forget the person who pretended to be my friend and then ended up betraying me? It was not like I did not suspect him. I did suspect him and that was the reason I was still alive.

"Long time no see, my friend," I said.

"L-Leandro," his voice trembled as he said my name. He surely did not expect me to be here, ready for them.

"Yes. Good to know that you have recognized me, Andrew."

"Leandro," he said, suddenly gathering a bit more courage, "our king wants you to submit to him."

"Doesn't your king know that this is something that can only happen in his dreams? Or does he want you shifters to die? Perhaps he hasn't gotten enough lesson when I killed thirty at a time the last time they tried to kill me," I said.

"Leandro, we're talking about the good for the people of our world. We can't afford to keep someone like you alive here. It's a matter of safety," Andrew said.

"Safety? Then what happens when your king punishes those who refuse to take his stupid orders? What happens when your king's father kills those innocent girls? What happens when they **** those girls? What happens when they force underage girls to do those things? Are those things safe for you all? Do you want all that to happen in your world?" I asked. My voice was not loud, but it was cold and calm as always. Yelling was never my thing and it was rare that I would yell. Even when I was angry, my voice was always calm and too frigid. And I was sure that it was not pleasant at all to hear.

Andrew did not say anything. He motioned his Orgades to attack me and I was ready too. My monster was throbbing inside me to break free. It was going to be a long night for both my Beast and me.

The heat and a highly tingly sensation emerged from my insides as I finally let my monster take control. My muscles started to clench painfully as they started taking the shape of something bigger, something monstrous. Shattering the clothes, making a weird noise, my monster emerged and I was gone.

Right before, my monster took full control over me, I remembered her face. I was going to go back to her and tell her that I was sorry for behaving like stupid with her. I should never have hurt her. All she wanted was for me to be safe.

I would hug her tightly and tell her sorry again and again until she would forgive me. And I was going to promise her that I would not hurt her ever again. It was my entire fault. All I had to do was to deal with these Orgades first. Then I would be able to return to her and perhaps I would even get the chance to hold her in my arms and make her feel better and make myself feel better as well. Because whenever she was with me, I was fulfilled. I did not care if she was with that boy right now.. I would make her realize that no one else ever could make her happy.
