intended to let Sarah find out the truth about him and the other shifters in this way. To make matters worse, it was on the night of the full moon when the tigers would be at their wildest, and they would be competing to fight for her. There were some tribe members who thought that he was not good enough to be their leader, and they wanted him out as soon as possible. Erik knew that he was going to need the support of his allies to win the battle.
The only way that he could win the battle and keep Sarah safe was to change into tiger form, or at least partially. That way, he would be able to fend off the other tigers from trying to get at her. Right now they were all in the tiger fest mood, and during this period, a lot of hardcore animalistic sex occurred, and the tigers would definitely be drawn to his Sarah. He intended to protect her with his whole, no matter what it took.
Having staked his claim on Sarah, Erik knew that there were definitely going to be challengers. He had been the leader of the streak for a short time, and he had to fight his way out every full moon. It would continue being like that until the time he had been the leader for a while, and all of the tigers that wanted to be the alpha leaders bowed down to him and respected him.
Sarah looked at him with fear and loathing in her eyes. She started to back away from him and he knew that he had to keep her close to his side. Any sudden move by one of the other tigers when she was not close to him could cause her death, and Erik knew that he would die if she died.
“Sarah, please trust me, I want you to stay close to me, it is the only way that you will remain safe,” he said to her.
“Safe,” she screamed, her face white with fear. “Is this what you call safe, all of these … I don’t even know what to call them.”
Erik tried to imagine how scary the whole scenario looked from Sarah's side and understood how it felt. It had to be a devastating time listening to the bones shifting and the other ugly sounds of the transformation. Transforming from a human to a tiger was a messy affair, with fur growing on their bodies, teeth turning into fangs and muscles enlarging. Erik understood perfectly well the way that Sarah was feeling.
“There is something that you need to know, Sarah, we are tiger shape-shifters, and there are much more of us that you could ever imagine. We come from across the country, and we meet up here every time that there is a full moon,” Erik explained, hoping that she would understand and not judge without thinking twice about her decision. “I would like to let you know that we are not what human beings think we are, we do not kill human beings.”
“B-but you don’t even look like a tiger, you are still standing upright,” she looked like she was still in deep shock.
“We are shifters, and we are able to take several forms. We can become full tigers or half tigers like I am right now. In this form I can talk to you, but in the full tiger form I can't,” Erik explained.
This was not the way that he had planned to introduce Sarah to his sort of lifestyle, but now that she was already here, he was just going to have and make the best of it and be patient with her.
“Look here, Sarah, I'm going to tell you the truth. Right now the need to have sex with you is very strong, but if I do it when I am in this form, I will turn you into a panthera, making you like me. Once that is done, there is no way that you will ever be able to become a normal human being again,” Erik said, making Sarah jump away from him, raising her hands infront of her.
“Don’t you ever, lay your hands on me again, is that understood, don’t you ever,” she looked repulsed, and it made his heart ache.
From what Erik could see, it was as if Sarah was never going to accept him the way that he was. Neither was she going to listen to him, which left him with no choice. He was going to have to use
