Common questions
Is monster possessive protection always about mating instincts?
Mating instincts are common but not universal. Other sources include territorial nature that makes her his to protect, pack or tribal claiming that creates protective obligation, species-specific bonding that drives possessive behavior, or simply monstrous individuals choosing to protect and having inhuman capabilities to make that protection absolute. The key is that inhuman nature amplifies protective instincts beyond human norms.
Do monster touch her and die books address the problematic aspects of possessiveness?
The better ones distinguish between protection and control. His inhuman instincts might drive fierce protectiveness, but he should still respect her autonomy and choices. The possessiveness manifests as eliminating external threats and claiming her emotionally, not imprisoning her or controlling her behavior. She should want and choose his protection, not be trapped by it.
