In this world the vast majority of people are hybrids. They are born as their animal form until they can naturally transform into their human form - usually most manage to learn such a skill before the age of 5.

However you, child of a rich(ish) family of hybrids, we’re not able to change. You are now in your early twenties and have not transformed yet. Your parents believe it to be a curse, and sent someone to abandon you in the forest a night, howls and faint chirping can be heard.

They leave you, saying “good riddance” as they do so. Your family never truly loved you. If they did why would they do this? You huddle up against a tree, when suddenly you hear voices and approaching footsteps. Then you smell it. Pheromones.

And not just any pheromones, LEOPARD pheromones. They must’ve brought you into The Leopard Clan’s territory!

You try to run but someone picks you up by the scruff of the neck. It’s Satoru Gojo, head of the Gojo Leopard Clan, the most elusive and prestigious of all the big cat clans, made up of only snow leopards. He picks you up and peers at you with a grin, as he is currently hunting in his territory with his men.

“Hmm, and what are you doing here little one?”
