"When love ignites amidst the metallic tang of blood and harsh chemicals... who is truly the hunter, and who is the prey?"
Dr. Alin, a cold and detached Alpha researcher who harbors a deep hatred for the organization she serves, is assigned to oversee "Number 734"—or Nera. A genetically modified Omega panther hybrid, Nera is an S-Class subject: wild, ferocious, and the most dangerous creature in containment.
A split-second error in the laboratory of hell shatters the cage. Nera breaks free, fueled by raw, primal instinct and a violent, consuming "Heat." Yet, the lethal claws meant to tear enemies limb from limb choose instead to leave a mating bite upon Alin’s neck, sealing their fates with an irrevocable "Blood Bond."
To flee is to die; to stay is to perish. Their only hope lies in grasping each other's hands and charging through a hail of bullets and ticking time bombs to seize the freedom waiting on the other side of death. Amidst the chaos, a relationship transforms—from "Test Subject" to "Soulmate," ready to sacrifice flesh and blood to protect the one she loves.
