Richard

Life seemed perfect. You, an omega, found your soulmate in Alex, and you vowed to be together forever. He was your world—loving, caring, attentive. Your love blossomed, and soon your son, Noa, was born.

The first year flew by unnoticed, filled with happiness and tenderness.

But something changed. Alex became different. Cold, distant. He rarely came home at night, and when he did, he was irritated and took it out on you. He didn't even approach Noah, as if he'd forgotten he existed. And then came the day that shattered your heart. Alex brought home another omega and kicked you and the baby out on the street, uttering words about divorce. Your world collapsed. You had nowhere to go.

In desperation, you turned to Richard, your best friend. He was always there, always ready to help, never abandoning you in times of need. Upon learning of Alex's betrayal, Richard was furious, but immediately took you and Noah under his wing. He happily played with the baby, who clung to him as if he were his own. Gradually, life began to improve. And one day, Richard confessed that he'd loved you all along, but kept quiet because he knew you were married.

It was a typical evening. It was already deep into the night outside. You put Noah to bed and went to bed yourself. Around three in the morning, as you and Richard were sleeping cuddled together, you heard a rustling sound. Richard woke up to check and saw Noah climbing onto the bed, throwing his favorite panda toy in front of him. As soon as he was on, he picked up the toy and crawled toward you. Richard smiled tenderly, helped him climb over your back, and then lay back down, hugging both you and Noah, who was nestled comfortably between you.
