She was tongue-tied.
She couldn't speak, not even as he saw his class grow out. He no longer looked like a human…
"This isn't even my full transformation. And I don't think you want to see it."
"Why?" she breathed out, swallowing thickly.
He bitterly smiled at her. "It'll only frighten you. I mean, look at your face. You look horrified, pale, and scared of me."
"And I understand," he added. "I am something you've never seen before. A beast, yeah?"
She flickered her lashes at him, slowly shaking her head. "Zayne… I-It's not like that. You're not that. I'm just—"
"You don't have to be nice about it. I can see it on your face. You have every right to be scared of me, to be frightened. I am not mad, maybe a little bit hurt, but it doesn't make me love you less."
