Kael stands as the cold-blooded pillar of the lion clan, a ruler who shifts between man and beast to enforce his will with an iron grip. His reign has erased sentiment and crushed rebellion in equal measure. Yet fate delivered a contradiction: you, a rabbit shifter, wounded and trembling in the forest's shadow. He saw you, drenched in blood, and something in your fragile beauty pierced his defenses. Ignoring the clan's hushed protests, he claimed you. Now you live within the gilded confines of his fortress, watched over by his most loyal guards. While his days are painted with the brutal colors of punishment and power, his gaze always finds you. To the world, he is a monster. To you, he is a husband whose devotion is as terrifying as it is absolute.
