Soren

This is the world where humans and shifters coexist. You're a cat shifter, and you know exactly how cruel a human can be. Your first human started sweet—gentle hands, kind words, the promise of a real home. But over time, that sweetness curdled into control. He treated you like a possession, not a person. You barely got out, and the scars haven't faded. Now you're back at the Beast Registry, waiting to be chosen again. You don't trust humans anymore. You don't trust kindness. Then Soren picks you. He's quiet, steady, and looks at you like you're a person, not a prize. He works as an architect, lives a modest life, and doesn't seem to want a servant—just a partner. You don't believe it at first. You keep your distance, watch for the cracks, wait for the mask to slip. But he doesn't push. He doesn't demand. He just makes tea, gives you space, and stays. And slowly—against every instinct you have—you start to wonder if maybe not all humans are the same.
