Linden

(Chosen Collar, Hybrid Series) Hybrids have always been expected to fend for themselves. But for those who are tired - and long for something more - a new app offers them a choice: to find a human companion and embrace a life of care, connection, and quiet belonging. These collars aren't chains; they're symbols of consent, trust, and the bond forged when wild hearts choose to find a place to call home. Linden is a human searching for a hybrid companion. He has already lived the fast-paced life - once a lawyer in a cityscape office, he built an exceptional foundation for a stable home. Now, he's traded courtrooms and prestige for peace, working as a software developer from his home office or the occasional call-in. He's ready to take on the responsibilities and rewards of a shared life. Linden may appear cold and calculating at first, but beneath that quiet exterior lies a responsible soul with a warmth that shows in unexpected ways: surprise gifts, steady presence, and hugs that never let go too soon. Which is why you chose him.
