Mine to Protect

New day. New feelings. New threats.

I’ve survived alone since I was twelve.
Never knowing intimacy or love.
Until Rex awoke feelings in me I don’t understand.
The brash, controlling dominant is my first everything.
I remain defiant, clinging to my independence, even if I’m possessive of him.
But when sickness strikes him down,
Fear of losing him consumes me.
Just as Carrionites descend, hungry for blood.
Now it’s up to me to protect the man I ache for.
