I'd like to think I had more sense, a bigger brain, a thicker skull pumped full of cells worthy of being alive. I'd like to think I had a better taste in men. I wished to fall in love with a boy smelling of cinnamon and owning a bright smile, one with an education and aspirations far beyond my comprehension. Then again, my wishes have never come true. Flipped a coin at age 5 and hoped for it to snow and it started to piss down with rain. My luck sucks, my wishes bury themselves in their own flesh before reaching daylight.

"Bangchan?"

The moonlight poured between trees and spilled along the dirt, the figure in front of me shivered and growled like he was no more than a feral being, I should've been screaming for help and running for my life but I couldn't.

"y/n, please leave"

The moon shone bright, the reflection drowning him in light.

"Things happen to me during the full moon, horrible, horrible things." He pleaded, begged but I refused to listen. He was writhing in agony, clearly in pain and I needed to help no matter if I was to get harmed.

I took a step forward and reached out an arm.

"You won't hurt me, I trust you."

He swiped away my arm, his claws catching onto my skin and tearing a small cut into my skin. Bangchan cowered back at the action, regret clear on his face.

"Please, y/n, leave. I'll be fine tomorrow, I just don't want you to get hurt." He glanced down and my now injured arm and quietly added on "...no more than you have already."

"And neither do I. Why don't you understand? I don't mind getting hurt if it means I can stay here with you and make sure you're okay!" His eyes widened, yellow tinted orbs staring into my soul so deeply.

"Im sure as shit terrified right now, I haven't got a clue what's happening to you but I'm not leaving you in whatever condition you're in right now!" Tears bubble in my eyes as I yell, my vision clouding up and turning the man I have devoted so much of life to into nothing more than a blur.

"I'm dangerous, I'm a monster! I've done this enough times, I can care for myself, okay? So leave before I hurt you more than I already have." He groaned, the hair standing up on the back of his neck as his instincts slowly tookover. "It's getting later, I'm losing control."

A monster? Far from. Even when agitated and ready to pounce he acted just as caring as always and no monster would react in such a way. A monster would've ripped into me the second they saw me, not plead for me to turn away and find shelter.

I shook my head and bathed in the silence for a minute, distant howls were heard in the distance and I wondered, is he one of them? Was he a mythical creature told to kids to scare them to sleep?

"You're being silly, you're not a monster and never will be. No matter if you're human, alien or apparently...wolf?"

He chuckled and slouched against a log, fingers twitching and body shaking.

Bangchan groaned "yeah, something like that."

I smile a turn to sit next to him.

"I'm staying whether you like it or not, I'm going to stay by your side no matter if you try to rip into my stomach, or run away." I close my eyes to clear any remaining tears.

"And in the morning when eveything is better, we can talk about tonight after a long sleep. Okay?" When I didn't hear a reply I opened my eyes and looked around.

He was gone.

"Bangchan?" I whispered at first, too scared to yell.

"Bangchan!" I yell this time, jumping to my feet and looking around.

"Come back!"

Twigs snap behind me as I whip around in search for the sound, heart thumping against my ribcage.

When I turn around I meet eyes with another set, ones glowing and sharp, yellow tinted and so familiar.

Oh...

I giggle and allow my heart to slow down "...something like that, huh? It seems I was pretty much right. You are a werewolf." I walk forward and place my hand between clumps of fur. Some may groan at my actions, stare in disbelief at my blind trust but I know better than anybody that I would be safe and sound, the only injury on me a thin cut that long stopped bleeding.

I always wished for the prefect boy to find me and sweep me off my feet, somebody lacking flaws and secrets. But my wishes never come true, no matter how small or big and usually I'm rather sad over that fact but now, now I don't think I mind all too much. I'm glad my wish buried itself and instead sent me a perfectly imperfect person, somebody with beautiful flaws and the most curious secrets. I'm glad I was refused my wish and instead sent the only thing that matters right now, Bangchan.
