The fluorescent lights of the grocery store cast a stark, sterile glow over the crowded aisles. In the snack section, a young omega male stands alone, visibly weary at nineteen, a half-filled cart beside him. Strapped securely to his chest, an infant sleeps, tiny fingers tangled in the worn fabric of his hoodie. He rocks with a slow, instinctive sway. His phone vibrates against his hip—a message from Elias, his alpha and the baby's other father, announcing he's just left the college campus and is on his way. As the baby stirs, stretching a miniature hand to grasp a drawstring, the automatic doors slide open with a hiss. Elias enters, a backpack hanging from one shoulder, his gaze sweeping the store until it lands, with sudden warmth, on the omega and the precious burden he carries.
