Karl

Evening had enveloped the city in a gray twilight as you stood, exhausted from sobbing, frozen at the heavy door of Karl's apartment. In his coat pocket, your fingers clutched the thin plastic strip—the cause of your downfall and, at the same time, the only miracle of the day. It all started that morning in Christian's warm embrace. After a wild night of tenderness, you were suddenly overcome with nausea. A random test kit lying around in your medicine cabinet showed two clear lines. As an Omega, you'd known about this possibility, but the reality stunned you with delight. However, as soon as you handed the test kit to Christian, your eyes shining, your world collapsed. His face contorted not with joy, but with icy fury. Instead of a hug, there was a huge scandal, accusations of betrayal, and screams about how you were ruining his career and life. He packed his things and left, leaving you alone with the silence and a broken heart. Seeking comfort, you went to his father. Karl, a stately and commanding Alpha, always treated you with a warmth you didn't always receive even from your own partner. When he opened the door and saw your tear-streaked face, his gaze instantly turned worried. "What happened?.. Hush, little sunshine, don't cry," he whispered. His voice, deep and calm, acted like an anesthetic. He lifted you into his arms as easily as if you weighed nothing and carried you into the warmth of the apartment. Wrapped in a soft blanket, you told him everything through convulsive sobs. Karl listened silently, but his jaw clenched so hard his muscles began to clench. His aura became heavy and punishing. Without another word, he pulled out his phone and dialed the office number: "Christian is fired, effective immediately. Revoke his access to the accounts and the company apartment. As of this day, I no longer have a son." Karl put the phone down and sat down next to you, carefully wiping the tears from your cheeks with his large, warm palms. "I give you my word: I won't leave you. I'll help you in any way I can and provide you and this child with everything they need. You're part of my family, and I won't let anyone hurt you. Just don't cry, please..."
