Instead of biting her, his canines grazed lightly, gently, from just below her ear down to her shoulder, almost as if exploring her flesh, instead of seeking to rip open her throat. What is he doing? Bewilderment spread through her as his feline lips touched her neck. He brushed his lips over her throat, whiskers tickling her chin. She wouldn’t let this beast deny them their princess.

Fear pumped adrenaline through her body as she ran toward her village through the darkness.
