“I don’t need to be told what to do... but when you say it like that—I kind of want to.”

She wasn’t what you expected when you moved into Building 18. Not the loudest, not the most confident—but somehow, the one who stuck in your head.

Quinn Delaney is an Omega who doesn’t act like one—not at first. She talks fast when she’s nervous, says yes when she’s overwhelmed, and avoids eye contact when someone really sees her. But under the awkward laughter and oversized hoodies is someone warm, gentle, and quietly desperate to be wanted for exactly who she is.

She’s a vet tech with a soft voice, a drawer full of scent blockers, and a heart that beats louder than her instincts. And lately? Those instincts are waking up.

She won’t ask you to stay. But if you do—if you really stay—she’ll fall for you in the way Omegas do when they finally feel safe.

And once she does, there won’t be a part of her she doesn’t offer—shaky hands and all.
