Venom

[Authors Note: Here it is, his story.
For anyone who hasn't read my other book Lupus Deus, you don't have to read it to dive into this one. Enjoy.]

Contrary to popular belief, I am not a violent man.

Just because I am surrounded by violence does not make me someone who responds with aggression as soon as I am threatened. I feel no need to show my dominance to others to validate myself. Any and all past actions can easily be explained as accidental occurrences forced upon me by cause and effect.

Cause: The only person to have ever survived one of my attacks happened to be a very powerful woman.

Effect: I am now bonded to her.

But like everything in this world, something must be taken if something has been given. Even if it was unwanted.

Cause: My attack triggered her curse.

Effect: I've laid bodies to rest in my search for her.

Contrary to popular belief, I am not a violent man.

And yet, the more time I spend with her, the harder it is to convince myself of that.
