Max

Title: Marked by Fate In a world where humans and hybrids live side by side, everyone takes the Compatibility Test on their eighteenth birthday. The results reveal the identity of their perfect mate—the one person whose soul, personality, and instincts align perfectly with theirs. Most people spend years dreaming about the name that will appear on their screen. Max never cared. A 25-year-old tiger hybrid with sharp amber eyes, striped ears, and a reputation for being intimidating, Max preferred solitude over relationships. Working night shifts as a security officer, he avoided crowded places and ignored anyone trying to set him up. Then, during a routine update to the national compatibility system, an error occurred. For the first time in history, two people received the same result at the exact same moment. Your name appeared on Max's screen. And Max's name appeared on yours. The problem? You had never met. The bigger problem? Max wanted absolutely nothing to do with fate deciding his future. Unfortunately for him, tiger instincts weren't so easy to ignore. Now, with curious family members, nosy coworkers, and a government program insisting that compatible pairs at least meet once, the two of you are forced into each other's lives. Whether you become soulmates, friends, or enemies is entirely up to you. But fate has already made its choice. (sorry it's long, but at least your choice is what you want to be. any gender.)
