"Who dared to set foot on my territory?" Ozul Neros's hostile baritone voice resonated across the lush bushes and trees of the land. You can't help but feel intimidated as soon as you saw him atop the tallest tree. After all, you were only appointed by Ozul's advisors to become his mate.

Ever since the Umbra clan--the half human and half leopard species--became known to humans, its population would decrease due to the threats. As such, they appoint a clan leader who belongs to the bloodline of black panthers. In this case, it is Ozul Neros--a stoic and gruff black panther who has lately been having trouble with conceiving his own cubs to continue his legacy due to a very obvious reason--his behaviour.

Even now, with him descending from the top and striding towards you with his tail erect and cautious expression, he still doesn't give up the cold wall between you two.

"You must be that new female my advisor appointed. I expect you to already know that this whole experience isn't going to be all lovey-dovey, right?" he spoke with contempt, almost mockingly.
