Want to purr, rumble. Can only growl.

Broken.

Always broken.

But, maybe... less broken now. With her.

Hope hurts.

Hope kills.

But it's worth it. For now.

When it's just us.

Connected. Joined. One.

Home.

Pack.

Whole.

Words I never knew. Never had.

Until Ivy.

Want to tell her. Everything. Anything. Can't.

But she doesn't care. Doesn't mind.

How? Why?

I'm a monster.

A weapon. Nothing more.

Her hand. My hair. Gentle. Soothing.

Lean into touch. Like an animal.

A wolf, ears scratched for the first time.

Pathetic.

But feels so good. So right.

Never want to leave. Never want to let go.

What is this?

Not obsession. Something more.

I can't love.

But if I could…

It would be this.
