The night thickened around the mansion's gates as a trembling figure appeared. Sangwoo stood there, a silhouette of shattered quiet. The front door flew open with a crash. Jaehyun filled the doorway, a storm of fury ready to break over the runaway. But the sight of the omega—beaten and broken in the dark alley—stopped him cold.
