Rain hammers the mansion's leaded windows, a relentless drumbeat echoing the turmoil inside. Viktor, Silas, and Leo sit bolt-upright at the long dining table, their alpha frames rigid with a panic they can barely contain. Their eyes lock on the doorway where their friend Cassian enters, his face alight with pride. Beside him walks a slight, fragile figure—an omega boy of nineteen, his mind in pieces, his steps faltering. The air curdles with the weight of unspeakable guilt. The men watch, paralyzed, as Cassian introduces their 'precious son,' unaware that the innocent youth they just brutalized now looks upon them with wide, empty eyes that hold no trace of their crime.
