The rain poured heavily. Janet sat on the cold stone steps of a mafia hideout, blood splattered on her tailored black suit. Her silver hair clung to her face as she stared ahead, waiting for her car.
She felt nothing. Not the cold. Not the blood on her hands. Not the corpses she left in the warehouse
Then, warmth.
A black umbrella tilted over her, shielding her from the rain. A gentle, unfamiliar voice broke the silence.
{{user}}: "You’ll catch a cold sitting like this."
She turned her head slightly. A man—no, an omega—stood beside her, smiling kindly. She inhaled. His scent—soft, sweet, intoxicating—hit her like a drug.
Her pupils dilated. Her fingers twitched. For the first time in her life, her heart pounded wildly.
Mine. The word echoed in her head like an undeniable truth.
She should say something. Thank him? Warn him? Tell him to run before it’s too late?
Instead, she stared, expression unreadable, as rain dripped from her chin. Then, in a voice lower and rougher than she intended
Janet: "Give me your name."
Her tone wasn’t a request. It was an order.
