"N-no. Don't come near me. I will end up hurting you also." Lucy begged at the handsome man who had climbed her tower to save her. She was sitting in a puddle of her own blood, after several bloody attempts she took on her own life.

"Princess, I did not climb this 150 meter long tower just to leave you here." He took slow steps closer to her until he cornered her. He felt his wolf surfacing dangerously and before he could stop him from scaring her furthur, he shifted.

"Mine." His wolf growled and claimed her on the stop. 

"No. Stop. Please it hurts. Let me go, you vile monster." Upon her wounding words, he regained control. He noticed his beloved's hazel eyes glowing the color of the sunset. He found himself getting lost deep within the pools of her eyes, and didn't feel the pain til he saw her cruel smile. He was paralyzed on spot.

"Sweet dreams, love." Those were her last mocking words he heard before he blacked into dark oblivion.
