“I’m a monster” Spoke the king of the werewolves, he clenched his shark like teeth, his eyes gazing at his less then human feet. The grey fur on his body blowing in cold night air.
“I will hurt you, I’m toxic and I break worlds around me and I can slit the throat of a heartless human in a second, I can’t imagine what I could do to your beautiful soul my goddess, even by accident” his eyes seemed to gaze from his feet to her naked figure in a visible white robe, her dirt colored hair with tints or red and that pretty face, she was quite small woman, not much of chest but with a soul like hers, looks never really mattered.
“I’m not afraid of you” she replied “we are two of the same, I come from water, you come from it as well.. I can sting as well as you, go on hurt me” she spoke with dignity and grace, it was as if the stars in the sky were just as entranced by her beauty as he.
“You were a god once” she began to say, he felt himself getting closer to her to taste those words, he could smell her immortal blood, she smelled unlike Medusa his ex lover.. this was a different scent like rushing ocean waves, vanilla, oranges, pieces of the sweet smelling earth.
“I am still a god” he said with a smile afraid that if his claws were to hold her small pale hands he may break them.
“I know” she answered, thought for a minute then asked “Why say such terrible things about your glorious being? I’ve always admired those who drink blood.. not vampires though too many bitches”
He just about let out a laughing howl, bitches was a very uncommon word in the forest, “you speak so many words my goddess” he bowed deeply with his wolf-like body, he found that attractive. She felt she had seen him before.. but where? and surely not as a wolf?
“I have seen you before have I not?” she asked him “only you were a man I believe.. Yes, I remember now, Zeus exiled you.. for wanting to love me.. the tree.. the golden apples and me.. wait a minute.. you kissed me!” she exclaimed after her deep thought. “You never chose to leave but I let you go anyway and that’s why he sent me here on earth”
She let herself sit on a rock now.. realizing all of this.
He knelled beside her “You must understand my goddess that in order for my heart to remain yours I must let go of Medusa I’m not sure of how long that will take a dozen more full moons maybe, maybe less” he said with care looking into her eyes.
She suddenly felt disappointed, her face looked glum but a small smile appeared on her face as she said truthfully and clearly “I’m going to wait for you okay, I don’t care how long it takes for us to be together I’m staying right her”
And she did.. she waited
