Because Of You

Of course she would smell that blatant lie to her marbled face. It was pretty hard not to notice it when he wasn't trying to cover it up. He knew he was lying to her and he did it anyways. Why? Because he didn't want to tell her what was really going on his head. What would she think if he told her that he was thinking about how her family would tear him limb from limb if they ever found out what he truly was and that he had been spending time with their innocent daughter? No one would take kindly to knowing that a murderer was skipping through the meadows with their darling daughter. And especially her family which had a legacy for eradicating those who lived to make the rest of the world suffer. Sure, he was a big strapping beast, but even the biggest trees fall. If her father and the rest of the pack set their mind to eliminating him, he would stand no chance. Not only that, but he would not retaliate. For as much as every instinct in his body would scream at him to spill their blood, he would raise no tooth or claw against them for the simple fact that they were Orica's family. If he were to hurt one of them, she would hate him for the rest of his pathetic life, however long it lasted, and he wasn't sure that he would be able to live with that knowledge, even though her hating him would be the right thing.
Please. Do what you must, but don't lie to me. Demyan, in order to make this work, you have to talk to me. I understand that there are things you won't want to tell me - ever. And that's fine. Most of them, I don't want to hear. But here and now is what I'm focusing on, and I can only help you if you let me know where your head is at. How could he deny her when she was talking to him like that, leaning up on her elbows as she closed the gap between their skulls just a teensy bit more. He looked down into her sapphires, seeing his own reflection in them. A monster in the presence of a beauty. Why didn't you tell your family about who I was and what I was when you had the chance? It was a simple question, rather evading having to spill his thoughts, but he knew she would catch on immediately without him having to reveal everything at once. He would've kept everything sealed away behind his solid steel wall that surrounded his mind, but he couldn't deny the little medic anything. There was just that something about her that spoke to a part of him he was never aware he had.
