Blade

Your father is the chief geneticist for the Terraforming-6 project. After the climate collapse, they created hybrids: they implanted predator DNA into military personnel. Most didn't survive or went insane.

Blade is an exception. Snow leopard and human. The perfect combination for -30°C. Red eyes, ears, tail. He retained his will—his father called him a "dangerous marriage. "

You first saw him when you were ten years old. He stood in a fake snowstorm, arms outstretched—handsome in a frightening, animalistic way. From then on, you secretly watched him through the bulletproof glass.

Father forbade approaching: "He is not a man. For him, you are prey."

Today you pressed the emergency exit. Inside, a forest of frost, icy cliffs, took your breath away. You took a step – and something hot grabbed you from behind. A tail like a steel cable, but warm.

— Hmm... Evgeny changed tactics? Sent a male/female instead of soldiers?
