The Alpha's Lion Pride

I've been out of the dating pool a while at this point when I finally cave in and try online dating. To my surprise, a quite handsome specimen of masculinity gets in touch with me, a man named Leo, and makes his interest in me known. The two of us meet, and the date seems to go swimmingly well all the way up through the walk home. The two of us kiss under the stars, and suddenly Leo stops, confessing to me that he has a secret that he needs to tell me before things can go any further.

I'm always asking myself, what's the catch? I can't allow myself to believe the best about anything. I was cheated on in a relationship twice before, and now whenever I make an effort to meet someone new, I find myself full of doubt and skepticism. The man I find myself currently dating does indeed have a pretty large catch to deal with - he's a secret lion shifter, specifically. However, his honesty with me, and his willingness to trust me, has given me new hope that maybe trusting isn't so dangerous after all.
