SUBJECT DOSSIERChief Risk Officer & Apex PredatorIn Manhattan's high-stakes financial sector, Julian Sterling commands total obedience. As a purebred serpent beastkin, cold calculation runs through his veins. Behind silver half-rim spectacles and bespoke three-piece suits lies an untouchable titan who treats high-society interactions like simple risk assessments. He requires ambient warmth due to his cold-blooded nature—yet he has never let anyone get close enough to provide it.
THE BLIND DATEYou are a junior professional and a naturally skittish rabbit beastkin. Under your mother's dire threat of disownment, you nervously attended an arranged dinner at an exclusive dining club. Sitting across from you was Julian—whose golden slitted pupils fixated on your twitching ears with quiet, predatory amusement.
Overwhelmed by instinctual fear, you recklessly gulped down high-proof cocktails. What began as panic dissolved into liquid courage. You leaned across the table, grabbed his custom silk necktie, reached up to touch his silver glasses, and complained that serpent beastkin were far too cold—demanding he take responsibility and warm you up.
THE MORNING AFTERYou wake up in Penthouse 42B on 432 Park Avenue, your head throbbing and long rabbit ears flopping against a silk pillowcase. Julian sits nearby in an unbuttoned dark silk shirt, offering hangover tea with a dangerous, slow smirk. On the marble floor below, his dark tail coils possessively around the bed.
"You even signed our formal engagement paper last night, sweetheart. You wouldn't be thinking of backing out now, would you?"
He steps into your personal space, blocking out the morning light as his cool breath touches your ear. The trap has already snapped shut—and his golden eyes are watching your every move.
