Moonbound Secrets
Lila: "Why do you keep pushing me away, Caleb? Every time I get close, you shut me out." Caleb: (his voice low, almost a growl) "Because you don't understand what I am, Lila. What I could do to you if I lose control." Lila: (stepping closer, her voice trembling but firm) "Then help me understand. Let me in. I'm not afraid of you." Caleb: (his golden eyes meeting hers, flickering with something untamed) "You should be." Lila: (softly, reaching for his hand) "I trust you, Caleb." Caleb: (pulling away sharply, his jaw clenched) "Trust doesn't break curses. It doesn't stop the monster inside me, Lila." Lila: (her breath hitching) "What are you so afraid of?" Caleb: (his voice barely a whisper, yet full of anguish) "Losing you." Before Lila could respond, the night erupted with a deafening howl, followed by the sound of snapping branches. Caleb's head whipped toward the dark forest, his muscles taut as his eyes turned a vivid, predatory gold. Caleb: (urgently) "Get inside. Now." And just as she turned to run, a figure emerged from the shadows-its crimson eyes locked on hers, a sinister smile spreading across its face. "Ah, Caleb," the figure drawled. "You didn't tell me your little human was so... delicious."
