Taming of the Beast

This is a short story (fantasy fiction steamy romance) - word count 10, 857. Kane escapes from the Jarrick army-an army of half human, half animal beings who are driven and controlled by only the most basic and primitive of desires-hunger, lust, destruction and bloodshed! But Kane is one day able to pull away mentally from the demon inside him, and make an escape from his fellow Jarrick blood brothers.
He goes on the run so they cannot find him and exact their revenge on him for returning back to his rational human form. Cassandra finds Kane almost half dead, having pushed himself to the extreme in his need to get away from his old life. She is familiar with the evil deeds of the Jarrick army; she nurses Kane back to health and shows him how to control the beast that lurks inside. All the while, as they spend more time together, they begin to form a strong physical and mental bond, resulting in them having the ability to satisfy each other's animal passions!
