Leo paced anxiously around his house. He has been waiting for this day for a long time. His appointment. He hates doctors and has never been the most social person, however, he cannot wait to meet this one.
Ever since he was young in the testing facilities, he has always known he was different. He had broad and defined bone structure, he was much larger than any male, he had thick, corse hair, and most of all, he had a tail. When he was released from the testing facilities he had hoped to meet others like him. His hopes were quickly dashed when he realized that the other New Species were not nearly as different looking as he was. Those that were different were simultaneously insane. Those that were different at the testing facility were brutally beaten and kept in extreme isolation. It made sense considering the fact that he wasn't the most strange looking but still, when a woman was once brought to his cell for breeding, she opted to kill herself instead of submit herself to him. That is when he realized how truly ugly he was. He hated himself.
Suddenly, a loud crash sounded. Leo whirled around and crouched low, letting a snarl slip through his mouth, only to realize that there was no one there. His tail wished back and forth and he realized that his state of agitation caused him to knock over his most prized possession. A box of what humans called, "romance novels". These books are what made him realize why he needed to make an appointment with a doctor. He wanted his monstrous tail removed. He would do anything for it to be gone.
When he stopped contemplating the removal of his tail, he quickly picked up his books and aligned them nicely. Paying particular attention to one with a beautiful woman and perfect man on the cover. The woman had curly brown hair that formed perfect ringlets around her face, gorgeous blue eyes, and quirky freckles plotted along her petite nose. The man was perfect: he had no tail. No scary, wide features. He didn't scare females enough for them to kill themselves.
Leo quickly grasped his tail in a hard grip and gave it a very harsh yank. It caused spikes of pain to shoot up his spine but he didn't care. He wanted it gone. Despite Justice telling him that he could not get it removed, Leo asked Valiant to make an appointment for him in secret in exchange for some of his own land. It placated Valiant since he has a new cub and could use the extra territory. He'd do anything to not be ugly anymore. Do anything for his own kind to not avert their eyes and pretend he didn't exist. Do anything to be like the males on the cover of his favorite books.
He knew that he could care for a female. He has his own small cabin with its own kitchen, living room, and den. He could catch her food every morning, love her every day, and keep her warm every nite. He could make love to her for once and live in peace. He could finally have someone and would never have to be alone again. Leo acknowledged the fact that he is still strange-looking, but despite this, he could read to his female every nite and give her everything she could possibly need. Because females only really need food, water, and somewhere to sleep, right? Or maybe that's wrong...
No matter. He realizes that he must stop entertaining these thoughts and decides that he needs to leave his home now in order to make his appointment. He quickly opens the front door to his den and makes a mad dash through the woods, heading towards the small, gravel road where he knows a golf cart will be waiting for him to drive towards the small medical facility at the north of the compound.
