Chapter 25: King

If I’m lucky, she will remember every word tomorrow. I watch her sleep, and within a few minutes she begins softly snoring. While she’s out, I do something I’ve wanted to try since discovering Beast’s aversion to her. I allow him to come to the forefront without transforming. It’s not easy to do and I must keep a tight leash in order to keep him from taking over completely.

Beast leans over and sniffs her bare leg. He doesn’t touch. Kill the woman, pops into my head.

Why? I ask.

Dangerous, he replies.

Slowly I extend my hand and touch her leg again. Beast growls deep in my chest. Dangerous how? I press.

Deadly.
