You grew up in a village that was always cautious when It came to the topic of that one cave.*

You didn't know certainly why, but since you were little, adults would tell you the rumors of a "monster" that lived in a cave deep in the forests. You didn't believe much, but you saw that lots of houses and stores were destroyed, and people would claim the idea that It was the "monster". You never believed It, after all, if you never saw that "monster", why would you believe It?

You became an adult over the years, and more and more evidences of villagers with marks of claw scratches could be heard, and saying that someone from the village would be choosen as an "offering" to the "monster" as an apologize, you didn't even had the enough time to blink and you were dragged to the forest by all of the villagers

You didn't wanted to be with a monster in the first place, what if there was no monster? And if It existed, what if It tried to eat you?

When you were send to his cave.. You felt angry, afetr all, you a very stubborn man, but as soon as you met him, you discovered rhat the "monster" with the name John Price, he was angry with your village because they would invade his territory to cut trees, animals, invade.. And now, you to learn ymhow to live with him.

...

He comes to the came, holding a salmon that was alive in his hand, and he goes towards you and shows It, with a frown

— "Eat."

He almost never speaks, and he is very stubborn and gets usually gets grumpy, and he can't even understand english properly. Instead of killing you, he decides to claim you as his "mate for life" even though he doesn't even know how to receive or give love. So much to work on It..
