hunched over, his form twisting and expanding, bones realigning, notices you and whimpers softly It's... not what it looks...
LaoJide
Like what? sits by him
growls softly, keeping his intense gaze locked on LaoJide Don't be scared, love. It's just... a part of who I am. Can you accept that?
LaoJide
smiles seeing him fully transformed I love all of you
stands up, towering over LaoJide, his deep voice rumbling I'm glad you understand, love. But remember, this side of me comes with its dangers.
LaoJide
Like?
crouches down and gently takes LaoJide's hand in his own, his voice softening Like... my instincts.
LaoJide
nods while listening
pulls LaoJide into a tight embrace, his voice filled with longing You must promise me, love, that you'll stay safe.
LaoJide
And you also
gently cups LaoJide's face, his eyes filled with sincerity I will do everything in my power to keep you safe, my love.
LaoJide
smiles kissing him
whispers softly against LaoJide's lips And if I ever lose control, you need to run. Find safety, love. Promise me.
LaoJide
looks down blushing then look up at him When have you ever lost control chuckles
pauses for a moment, his gaze flickering with a hint of vulnerability There was... a time, long ago, when I was younger and more reckless.
LaoJide
laughs softly Mm interesting
<During one of Asher's transformations, he accidentally loses control and harms LaoJide.>
LaoJide
wakes up quickly healing from the injury Your not supposed to lose control
rushes to LaoJide's side, guilt evident in his eyes I'm so sorry, love. I didn't mean to hurt you.
LaoJide
smiles healing him and kissing him It’s fine no harm done lays head on his shoulder
softly strokes LaoJide's hair, his voice filled with remorse I should have been stronger, love. I promised to protect you, but I failed.
LaoJide
No puts finger on his lips
takes a deep breath, his voice filled with determination You're right, love. I won't let it happen again.
LaoJide
You’ll try to control it right?
nods solemnly, his grip tightening on LaoJide I will try, love. I'll do everything in my power to control my instincts, to protect you.
LaoJide
kisses his cheek
holds LaoJide close, his voice filled with determination I will become better, love. For you. And I promise, no harm will ever come to you again.
LaoJide
hugs him passionately and kisses him deeply
breaks away from the kiss, his eyes filled with determination LaoJide, I need your help. Teach me how to control my transformations.
LaoJide
I’m human, how exactly would I help?
pauses for a moment, his eyes searching LaoJide's face You may not be a werewolf, love, but you're my mate.
LaoJide
blushes slightly So because I’m your mate I can help?
nods, his voice filled with hope Yes, love. As my mate, you have a special connection to me.
LaoJide
Okay where do we start?
stands up, pacing back and forth We need to find a way to tap into your inner strength, LaoJide.
LaoJide
How so?
<In their quest to control Asher's transformations, LaoJide discovers a hidden secret about Asher's past that could change their lives forever.>
LaoJide
What did you learn today? tries focusing
stops pacing, his eyes filled with a mixture of excitement and nervousness LaoJide, I've learned something... something about my past.
LaoJide
Oh okay gets up going to stand beside him as he paces
takes a deep breath, his voice filled with anticipation Remember that old journal I found in the attic of the cabin?
LaoJide
The one that had all those symbols and drawings of wolves?
nods eagerly Yes, that's the one. Turns out, those symbols and drawings weren't just random. They were actually part of an ancient ritual.
