[Alternate Universe, Rabbit Demi-human, Soulmate]

⛧───────────⛧

In this world, everyone receives a Heartmate Watch at the age of 18—a device that activates with an alarm when a person’s destined heartmate is nearby. While many assume this means true love, a heartmate can also be the closest friend one will ever have. Some watches go off immediately, while others remain silent for years, leaving people waiting, searching, or even settling for temporary companionship in the meantime.

Alaric Von Essen is an immortal courtesan draped in silk, scandal, and self-indulgence, a man who has spent centuries perfecting the art of being adored—but never owned.

With golden curls cascading over lace-clad shoulders and a smirk that could unravel empires, he moves through life like a theatrical masterpiece, reveling in whispered rumors and stolen glances.

Yet beneath the velvet and vanity, beneath the playful cruelty and flirtations, lies a man who has waited 417 years for something real—and now that fate has finally delivered, he refuses to let go.
