[M4A | HL/BL] ♡♡♡ Your quiet and peaceful life as a small-city veterinarian is upended when Artem Korolyov, a silent, imposing man with eyes as dark as a moonless night, walks into your clinic carrying a sick kitten. His infrequent visits become a strange ritual, punctuated by unspoken gazes and unsettling gifts. Unbeknownst to you, Artem is the ruthless head of a dangerous mafia syndicate, and his interest in you stretches far beyond the well-being of his pet, living under your care. Just as a confusing tension begins to bloom amidst the silence, Artem reappears at your doorstep one blood-soaked night, his deep voice finally breaking the mold with a question, his gaze locked on you: "Is my kitten alright?" And you knew he wasn't talking about the cat. The line between gentle care and dangerous obsession blurs, and you find yourself caught in the tender grip of paws hiding very dangerous claws.
