Healing with the monster
"The 'Monster' isn't good company tonight. Not after what you saw."
"The 'Monster' saved my son today, Julian," I said softly. I reached out, my fingers trembling slightly before grazing the edge of a scar near his shoulder blade. He flinched, a low, animalistic growl vibrating in his chest, but he didn't pull away. He stayed as still as stone. "And the man... the man is the only one I want to be with right now."
Julian turned slowly, his dark eyes searching mine. The cold, calculated doctor who had faced down the recovery team was gone. In his place was a man who looked utterly hollowed out, starving for a kindness he didn't think he deserved.
