take a bow, for those bad decisions we made

"How dare you!" She screamed at him, daring to take a step closer. She claimed to not have left the territory and that she had only presented herself as a healer to the ragtag pack of pirates. Said she wasn't a whore. He wanted to believe her...and internally, he did believe her. But he didn't want to! He wasn't ready to be a father again after failing his first litter of pups, and he was very afraid of failing them again. Not to mention he feared that if these ones came to life...they'd be plagued with his cursed blood. That was what he was most afraid of...

"These pups are yours," She repeated again. "but I won't bring them into the world... unloved, rejected... You're so insecure to think that I slept with another man? When?" "I am not insecure!" He snarled, just for her to snarl back at him. "you never smelt another man on my coat, else you would have said something. You would have probably killed him, paraded him before me for defiling your trophy." He scoffed! She did have a point but...he was trying really hard to find another explanation for this. He didn't want any more demons in this world...didn't want them to go through the same thing he was.

He tried to hold his gaze with her for as long as he could but ultimately looked away, ears folding back as he grit his teeth together. "Hurt me if you must, but if you hurt these unborn children... I will make them go away before you can." He huffed, "I can't hurt them without hurting you." He stated simply. Tone blunt as he narrowed his gaze. "Do what you must." He stated, crimson gaze returning to meet her smaller form again.
