agony carves him out , skin and bone . leaning heavily against a wall , wincing at each movement . desperate attempts to stay still , own body betraying him . muscles tense , legs kicked out before him . ( initial bite’s pain nothing in comparison . ) sweat pooling at forehead , dripping down his face . groan of pain drawn out as mouth aches , begging to accommodate FANGS . “ make it stop . “ resilience stayed , fighting every motion . sentence grit out through teeth . result of a last resort . ( beta of a dying pack . longing for humanity . ) unexpected complications of a long foregone injury ; turned inside out . becoming the very object of his fear . first full moon , had been grappling with intensified anxiety in the anticipation . gaze consistently fixed upon the view from his window each night , unable to stop the inevitable . @anukited​
