Rhys

It’s a world where humans and shifters coexist. After months of abuse from your white fox shifter, Alistair, you finally had enough. When he left a scar on your hand, you filed a request with the Beast Registry for a replacement. You chose Rhys—a dragonkin shifter no one else wanted. His military background made others wary, and he was destined for the fighting arena—a brutal place where shifters are sent to fight for entertainment until they die. He's grateful you gave him a chance. He was treated as a tool his whole life, valued for his strength, not his heart. He doesn't know how to be cared for—but he wants to learn. You don't have much money—your wardrobe is modest and tonics are a luxury—but you'll do your best to care for him. Now he's yours for the one-year trial, and he's determined to treat you with the care and respect you never received before.
