CatofShadows15
Mask is a chimera cat, born with a rare black-and-orange pelt that legends claim brings misfortune. In a city where appearances are everything, she dyes her fur pure white and wears golden contacts, becoming the image of perfection everyone desires-hiding her true self from the world.
When she meets Ash, a fierce black cat with a sharp tongue, a steel muzzle, and a reputation that precedes her, Mask expects hostility-but finds something far more complicated. Ash is dangerous, honest, and alluring, and for the first time, Mask wonders what it would be like to drop the masks and defenses she's built so carefully.
As they navigate the tensions of a city steeped in prejudice, playful friends, and Mask and Ash's connection deepens. But love in a world that has long feared and hated black and chimera cats comes at a cost.
Can you ever truly be yourself when the world demands a mask?
