Chapter Ten

“Finish your meal and then I’ll show you,” he stood up and retrieved the steaks from the kitchen, my eyes followed him.

“You promised to tell-”

“And I will. I promised,” he said, matter-of-factly. We ate in silence for another few minutes, but I didn’t have it in me to stay silent.

There was something else I needed to know... something he’d only tell me if I asked.

“Anton...”

He looked at me, silently waiting for the rest to come out.

“About the baby...” I started, but he interrupted me almost immediately.

“I know this is too much to take in at once,” he told me. “And I know it might be too quick for you to be believable. But you can trust me when I say neither you nor the child you carry will ever be without protection again.”

I was stunned.

“All I wanted to ask was if there was any way you could arrange for me to see a prenatal specialist,” I mumbled, staring at him.

“Of course I can,” he smiled at me and resumed with his meal.

It took me a bit to regain my faculties, but I did eventually follow suit and dig into my food. We finished quickly and then he stood and extended his hand to me. I took it carefully and followed him.

“Are you going to show me where you breed the lions?” I asked.

“We don’t breed lions,” he repeated. His words were slow, he was staring straight ahead with a look of concern on his face.

“You asked me how I found you,” he said. “I didn’t follow you, I tracked you.” We walked through the kitchen and he opened another door that looked like it went to a pantry, but instead it opened to a second door. This one was made of a hard steel with an electronic keypad next to it. He entered in a long code and the door silently swung open.

There was a series of stone steps that went deep into the earth. I followed behind him, taking the steps carefully, my one hand on the wall to steady me. After what felt like forever, the steps stopped and we were in a sort of unfinished basement. It was huge, about half the size of a football field. Running from wall to wall was a strong, iron gate.

“Where are the lions?” I asked as I approached the gate and peered inside.

“I am the lion,” he answered.

I turned to look at him confused and to my surprise, he walked through a door in the gate and closed it from the inside. “I can control it,” he said as he slowly removed his black sweater and kicked off his shoes. I stared at him in confusion, unable to speak or even form words.

“Most of the time the transition is controllable and I am in control when I’m the lion. The only exception is the full moon. That’s what this cage is for, to hold us,” he leaned against the bars of the cage and looked at me.

I felt out of breath for some reason.
