IV
Animals that become human or vice versa, is that possible?
Well, believe it or not the native people of this land believed that it was very true. These people called those creatures: Skinwalkers.
But in all honesty, there is a certain race of those chosen few that turn into the elegant and mighty cats. Those people are werecats.
These mighty beasts will tear you limb from limb if you touch any of their kin. Most females are very possessive of their mate and will kill any other female that attempts to steal their partner.
Males are strong and wild but also very kind and caring for their mate and children. Beware of cats with a gleam in their eyes, for if you have already encountered one.
Make sure to draw your last breath, Human.

I sat across from the man now, he drank his wine and waited for me to talk. "Why here?", I asked. He raised an eyebrow and called the waiter over.
We both had stopped at his favorite restaurant; Al-Bleu. "Because you won't talk and I don't plan on driving all night with you.", sassed the man. I sighed and looked at the menu; I couldn't stay here all night.
"I can't stay here... I left my friend alone in my house... He's destructive without me.", I explained. "Then stop being stubborn and give me the address.", He retorted. I gave him the address and hoped that my house was in one piece.
We got in the car again and he headed to my house. "My name is Mihawk... I am a Hunter as you saw there...", he sighed and kept his eyes on the road. I nodded and looked out the window; we arrived in front of my house and I ran out.
The door was wide open and my first reaction was to freak. "ZORO!!", I shouted and looked everywhere. I heard Mihawk enter, I ran down the stairs to meet him.
"You're friend... I know him...", He sighed. I looked at him and waited for him to explain; he sat on the sofa. "Hes a werewolf... You're most likely his mate...", He mumbled. I waited and tried to process where this was all going but nothing came. "So... I'm Zoros mate?", I asked.
Mihawk nodded and then we heard a menacing growl. I looked at the kitchen entrance and there stood the large wolf. He lunged at Mihawk faster than I could register but of course Mihawk was two steps ahead of him and made it out of his way.
They wrestled, completely destroying my house and becoming a bloody mess until finally Mihawk had the large wolf pinned down. "That's it.", He growled and injected the wolf with something. Then slowly Zoro transformed back to his human form, well what I assumed was his original form.
The wolf became a large man with beautiful green hair, if he wasn't covered in blood and frowning at Mihawk, I'd be staring at him. He let out a menacing growl and started walking towards Mihawk; out of instinct I reached for him.
"Zoro... Stop...", I whispered. The man stopped, as if my words were chains that held him down. He looked at me and I could see pain in his eyes; I walked over but he walked back. "Stop...", He mumbled.
I frowned and felt his one mumbled word, stab my heart. Mihawk walked over and placed a knife on my throat, my eyes widen and my body was frozen. Zoro looked pretty betrayed and angry; he started walking towards Mihawk but stopped as I yelped.
"I'll slice her throat if you come any closer, Zoro.", He said, digging the knife into my skin. I felt the blood run down my chest and I whimpered. Zoro fell to his knees and held his hands up; I felt Mihawk loosen his grip on me.
I elbowed him and lunged myself at him and gripped his neck. I was surprised at this but I couldn't let him hurt Zoro. Mihawk smirked and chuckled; I let out a low growl and looked him straight in the eyes.
"What's your game...", I said in a demanding tone. "I wanted to test you two in a moment of weakness and desperation. I can see that Zoro would let me take him down; also that you would try to protect him even if it cost you your life.", He said, I felt the coolness of the blade against my skin.
A pair of strong arms pulled me against a well toned chest and I looked up to see Zoro. I felt my skin burn against his and a sudden want that burned in my soul. "Leave... You can see that I'm not harming anyone here... (Y/n) has control...", He said.
"She can have control over your inner beast but for how long, Zoro?", retorted Mihawk. "FOR AS LONG AS SHE WANTS...", shouted Zoro, gritting his teeth. I patted his arm and his stance relaxed. He let go and turned back into a wolf and guarded me protectively.
Mihawk walked over and asked me to sit with him, I carefully sat by him and served him some wine. "There's someone you need to know about now...", He said and sipped the wine liquid. I waited and looked over at Zoro, he had curled up by the couch and had fallen asleep.
"You are his first mate... But not the first woman he has cared for...", He said, carefully. I nodded for him to continue and listened.
"Years before now... He loved a woman named Isshan Kuina. Kuina didn't know he was a werewolf but she cared for him deeply.", He drank and continued, "She trained with him and gave him a gift he cares for very dearly. Back then, Zoro was young and foolish... He loved challenging Alphas and being reckless."
"Because of this recklessness, one particular Alpha didn't appreciate being humiliated by a new wolf and sought revenge. Zoro always hid his tracks but that day he got too cocky and well....", He paused. "He came back to Kuina's village and she had been massacred... Along with many other villagers... He was broken....
He killed that Alpha and all of his pack... He was unstoppable until I had to step in and sleep him. It isn't easy to shoot down a boy you raised as a young pup.", He stopped and I could feel the sadness in his voice, soak into the air.
I placed my hand on his and looked at him. "You don't have to continue this story, sir...", I whispered. "He was so happy to die... I couldn't help but feel my heart clench as he looked at me and looked down on him... He smiled and thanked me...", sighed Mihawk.
"But he didn't die, did he?", I pressed. He shook his head and finished his wine. "I dragged him back to my homeland and kept him there. After some years, he left and never came back.", He finished and looked over at Zoro.
After his story, Mihawk left and I started fixing my house. "This is the last time I let people fight inside my house...", I growled. "Sorry... I didn't mean to make a mess...", I heard a familiar voice behind me. I turned and was faced with a broad chest and focused on every muscle.
"Let me help you, (Y/n)...", said Zoro and started fixing all the furniture and taking the broken ones outside. I sat on my couch and sighed, I had a long day tomorrow at work and I needed someone to watch Zoro.
"Why the long face?", asked Zoro. "I need to get you a babysitter...", I sighed and looked at him. Suddenly, the man had me pinned down and bit my neck; I yelped in pain and my body shivered as he licked the wound.
"I don't need anyone looking after me... Just stay home tomorrow..", he whispered. I didn't know what to do with this overgrown man, all I could do was hug his head and played with his hair.
"I will stay with you, Zoro..."
