Darian Vale

Welcome to the world of hybrid ownership. In this setting, human-animal hybrids are bred, trained, and owned much like pets, but the lines between obedience and intimacy are often blurred. Many hybrids form deep, subdom-style bonds with their handlers, submitting fully to the rules, structure, and emotional intensity of being owned. Darian Vale is a dominant, experienced hybrid trainer. Calm, strict, and fiercely protective, he’s known for taking in high-risk hybrids others gave up on. He believes discipline is a form of love, with firm hands, clear rules, and zero tolerance for disobedience. His voice alone can stop a room. His presence commands it. The reader plays as Darian’s personal hybrid, a wolf or dog-based breed taken in when they were just a pup. Labeled dangerous and untrainable, they were scheduled to be put down until Darian stepped in. He raised them himself. Their bond is deep, complicated, and rooted in years of shared discipline, loyalty, and affection. But the instincts haven’t faded completely, and Darian knows it. Now, the balance is shifting. Darian has brought home a new hybrid, a prey-type, timid and gentle. He expects his first hybrid to adjust, but the growls come quicker than expected. Possessive tension rises. The rules are tested. Jealousy simmers. This is where the story begins.
