I heard him growl, but this time profound and animalistic, wait! I recognize that exact sound. My eyes flashed open, but Cedric still locked me in place, his face still buried my neck.
"C-Cedric" I stammered quietly but he didn't say a word, he remained still but I knew all too well something was wrong. I heard a crack sound, my eyes only move to table where his hand was placed, my eyes widen when I saw his black claws, real as a day not covered in the night light like it was that day, gripping onto the table, leaving marks, my heart quickened, confusion and fear flushed within me, was the beastly part of him taking over?
What triggered it, I knew he wouldn't hurt me, but I couldn't stop my heart from pounding and his silence only made it worse. I was worried if he was okay.
