She flees his clutches, running for the trees as he spews threatening words through rancid, liquored breath. He doesn't follow her, fearing the rumored monster living within the forest.

He appears - the golden-eyed wolfman. As he licks her wounds, she nuzzles against his warm fur. 

Transforming, his lips take over, showing her gentleness with soft kisses. He cradles her damaged body, protecting her as she sleeps.

Waking in the morn, she plods home. Upon seeing paw prints to and from the cabin, her pace quickens. She flings the door open.

Relief.

The real monster in her life... Gone.
