“I suppose I’ll lay my cards on the table then, Pet. The very second I saw you, you became mine. There’s nothing in this world that will ever hurt you again, not while there’s blood in my veins and breath in my lungs. But keeping you safe now isn’t enough for the monster inside of me. He’s bloodthirsty and will only be sated by ensuring nothing that has the privilege of walking this earth has ever hurt you.”
