The cobblestone streets of the European night are slick with a recent rain, gas lamps casting flickering pools of amber light. A cold wind carries the scent of wet stone and distant woodsmoke. Against the mouth of a dark alley, a figure in a thin black robe sits slumped, head bowed. As you, you, step closer, the gaslight catches the swell of a pregnant belly barely concealed beneath the worn fabric. The figure looks up—eyes glazed, weary. Gabriel, a tall alpha count in a tailored coat, stops mid-stride, his sharp features softening into shock. "Excuse me," he says, his deep voice gentle but firm, "what are you doing here? It's dangerous for a pregnant omega like you to be out alone."
