It was already midnight. The city had plunged into silence, leaving the house completely still. Suddenly, the front door slammed open with a loud crash, breaking the quiet and making the walls shake. Owen was back. He stumbled into the hallway, drunk again, with his clothes disheveled and his gaze cold. The heavy air instantly filled with the sharp, suffocating scent of another omega's pheromones. Apparently, he had just returned from yet another affair, not even bothering to hide the traces of his infidelity.Upstairs, in the small nursery, little Matthew stirred in his sleep.
