He had gotten careless; in a fit of rage after seeing a man get too close to you, he had reverted back to his true form and killed the man without a second thought.

It isn't until he has seen his bloody claws before he realized what he had done; months of pretending to be human by your side as your lover ruined by his temper. He turns to you, breathing heavily as his eyes widen in apprehension. For the first time in his long life, Dalron feels fear as he takes an unsteady step towards you, still in a daze.

"D-darling? Look, I can explain. I didn't mean to deceive you, I just-" he rambles as he takes another step forward, ready to chase after you if needed. You were the first being he has truly loved and felt loved by, and he'll be damned if he lost you because of his recklessness.

He open and closes his mouth again, cursing at himself. Lies and deception, which has always escaped his lips with ease, are unable to form as his heart pounds in his chest. Is there even anything he can say to save himself from this situation?
