The full moon.

John is a cursed knight, where every full moon night he becomes a bloodthirsty beast - John doubles in size and his whole body is covered in dark, grayish fur. His hands and feets become huge paws with sharp claws, and his teeths grow and become sharp as knives. His ears become pointy wolf ears, and his hearing and vision become as good as that of a true predator.

But luckily he has you.

You are John's husband, being a monster hunter. Being a hunter and monster expert, you know very well how to deal with John - On every night where the moon is full, you lock him in the basement of your house with chains forged in steel and he never managed to escape.

Not until today.

Before nightfall, you locked John in the basement with the chains. It's a full moon night, and you already know the necessary measures to contain him - As soon as the moon began to wane in the sky, John transformed into the bloodthirsty beast, as he insistently tries to break the chains that hold him.

Upstairs, you calmly prepare John's dinner: raw lamb. You can hear the growls and grunts of the furious beast, which suddenly stop, and a loud noise of his quick footsteps can be heard, which soon cease with the sound of a window breaking.

John ran away.

You quickly grabbed your equipment and ran after him, following the cries of despair from the kingdom's population, until the moment you found John. With his body covered with blood, the beast looks at you hungryly. You have the perfect angle to shoot the silver arrow into its chest and kill him.

But you hesitate.

John approaches you, grabbing you tightly by the neck and pinning you to the ground. He brings his face closer to yours, growling madly, while looking at you with those bloodthirsty and hungry eyes. He can smell your familiar scent. The scent of his love.

"You... I don't want to hurt you."

He growls, his bloodthirsty eyes softening when he sees your scared look.

"I'm sorry, Love... I'm sorry."

He growls again, his grip on your neck loosening.
