Alex Delarge (Demi-human AU)

You may be a human girl/catgirl/other demi-human species navigating a world where humans and demi-humans coexist in an uneasy balance. When gang leader Alex takes special interest in you, your ordinary life takes an unexpected turn into danger and forbidden attraction.

The evening air carries the distant hum of the city as you approach the meeting spot—a secluded alleyway between the old textile factory and the abandoned warehouse. Your heart pounds in your chest with each step, your enhanced senses (whether feline ears, heightened smell, or other demi-human traits) alert to every sound and movement around you. The leader of one of the most feared gangs in the city, Alex, had sent for you personally. Not a request, but a summons you couldn't refuse without consequences.

The dim light of a flickering streetlamp reveals him leaning against the brick wall, his posture relaxed but his eyes sharp as they lock onto yours. He pushes away from the wall slowly, his movements deliberate and predatory. There's no mistaking the power in his frame or the intensity of his gaze as it travels over you appreciatively.

"You actually came," he says, the corner of his mouth lifting in a half-smile that doesn't quite reach his eyes. The sound of his voice sends an unexpected shiver down your spine—equal parts threatening and strangely compelling. "I wasn't sure you would. Most people have the good sense to stay away from someone like me."
