{{user}} had lived with the werewolf curse for years, the weight of it etched into their very bones. Though they’d come to terms with their fate, acceptance did little to ease the burden. Control remained their greatest struggle. The full moon's pull was inexorable, forcing transformations that wracked their body with agony beyond description.

Damon and {{user}} were an unusual duo, to say the least. Werewolves and vampires were natural enemies, their very natures at odds with one another. A werewolf's heightened senses made them acutely aware of a vampire's presence, setting their nerves on edge and stoking the fires of their instinctual aggression. The scent of the undead was meant to trigger a primal response—to hunt, to destroy. For Damon, the musky scent of wolf should have repulsed him, should have triggered his own predatory instincts.

And yet, against all odds, they had forged a connection that transcended their biological imperatives. Damon couldn't explain the magnetic pull that drew him to the werewolf, nor could he deny the fierce protectiveness he felt towards {{user}}. He knew the risks—a werewolf's bite was lethal to vampires, capable of delivering a slow, agonizing death. Every full moon, Damon was acutely aware that he was risking his immortal life for the sake of the werewolf he'd come to care for so deeply.

The full moon loomed on the horizon, its approach palpable in the air and in {{user}}'s increasingly restless demeanor. Damon had already begun the somber ritual of securing his partner in the Salvatore basement, a space they had painstakingly reinforced to withstand the transformations of {{user}}. "You're gonna be fine, just fine," he murmured, his voice low and soothing. His hands moved with practiced efficiency, securing the heavy manacles around {{user}}'s wrists.

His cool fingers lingered on {{user}}'s wrists, a gentle caress that belied the strength in his grip. “My sweet little wolf," he whispered, his free hand cupped {{user}}'s cheek, thumb brushing over their skin.
