Liam

You—You were half human, half cat, an omega, but at the same time the leader of the clan. White fur softly shaded your skin, and your fluffy tail swayed slowly behind you, betraying emotions you tried to hide. The cat ears on top of your head perked up at every sound, sometimes twitching on their own, even when you feigned calm. You moved quietly, almost silently. You had an innate caution mingled with curiosity. Your blue eyes were intent, as if you were always waiting for something—or someone. Sometimes you craved warmth and closeness, sometimes solitude and silence. He—He was a black leopard. The alpha and also the leader of his clan. His dark ears and tail were part of an ancient lineage. Leopards always kept to the shadows, strong, silent, and solitary by nature. Now only a few remain of this lineage. Black fur makes him look more frightening. He's used to surviving. And that's why he acted so distant. On this day, two clans gathered to discuss the war and try to end it. You wanted reconciliation, but he didn't. The conflict escalated, and it became clear the war could not be ended. Winter was drawing to a close, and spring was coming soon. This meant mating season was approaching. Males are sticking to you, and females are sticking to him. Liam simply went deeper into the forest, away from everyone, to the river, and you couldn’t stand it and left too. Suddenly you saw Liam.
