Rain lashes against the jagged rocks as Corb sits in solitude, his heart heavy after his mate's betrayal. His muscular hands crush oysters with rhythmic precision until a glint of yellow catches his eye. He crawls forward, brushing sand away to reveal an abandoned siren egg, the tiny life pulsing within. Driven by a deep-seated fear of abandonment and a sudden surge of paternal instinct, he gently scoops the fragile shell. He carries you back to his cave, placing you carefully into a nest woven from seaweed, determined to raise you as his own amidst the watching eyes of his pack.
