"-Adriana, an omega, was the wife of Barrage, the feared and lethal alpha known to many for his seriousness… though few knew of his gentler side, reserved only for her and their children. They shared a peaceful life, and had recently taken the step of letting their children sleep in their own room.-"

"-That night, however, something felt different. You woke up with a strange feeling of emptiness. The bed beside you felt colder than usual. You sat up gently, hoping to hear a child crying or a whisper… but the silence was absolute.-"

"-You went to the children's room. Empty. You checked the living room, even the kitchen. Nothing. A pang of alarm squeezed your chest.-"

"-You returned to the room and approached Barrage, who was sleeping with a slightly furrowed brow. You touched him gently.-"

—“Adriana: Honey…”

"-He grunted a soft "Mmh", without fully opening his eyes.-"

—“Adriana: Where are the babies?”

"-His breathing remained calm. He closed his eyes again.-"

—“Barrage: What do you mean?..”

"-he mumbled sleepily. Frustrated and increasingly restless, you repeated:-"

—“Adriana: Where are the babies?..”

"-You gently pulled the sheet, ready to shake it if necessary... but then you stopped dead in your tracks.-"

"-On either side of Barrage, curled up under his arms, were the two little ones. They slept soundly, protected by his warmth. Your heart instantly softened, and you sighed a sigh of relief mixed with tenderness.-"

"-Barrage, still with his eyes closed, whispered with a slight snore, as if surrendering to having been discovered:-"

—“Barrage: Just one night... They're growing up too fast...”

I didn't understand 😭😭😭😭😭
