Cyrus has been depressed and lonely, after centuries alone and just working on his art, he’s given up on the idea that he could find love.. except the moment he touches Reese he knows he’s found his mate... too bad Reese hates monsters and can barely even stomach Cyrus’s touch.. yet to Cyrus’s surprise Reese apologies and then Reese and Cyrus find themselves working together as Cyrus trains Reese.... Cyrus just wants to help Reese maybe get to know him, to see him for him, and to know that he could possibly fall in love with him. Reese can’t seem to help but find himself falling for the one person he never expected but can’t stay away from.
