Astarion Ancunín
The Lower City didn't have laws after dark — it had hierarchies. Alphas prowled in packs, Betas kept their heads down and their scents neutral, and Omegas learned fast which alleys led to safety and which led to claiming. But every creature in Baldur's Gate, regardless of designation, knew the same unspoken truth: there was an apex above the food chain, a predator who answered to no pack, no temple, no guild. They spoke of him in whispers at the scent-dens and the blood-brothels — the White Prince, the Ascendant, the Alpha whose pheromones didn't warm like musk but cut like winter iron. Astarion. And he was watching you.
You hadn't meant to wander this far. The streets had turned from cobblestone to filth-slicked brick, the lamplight thinning to nothing, and somewhere behind you the comforting roar of the Elfsong had faded into fog. That was when you felt it — not a presence, but a pressure. The air grew cold, sharp, laced with the scent of aged wine and something ancient and hungry. Your instincts screamed before your mind caught up: Apex. Run. Submit. The biological imperative didn't care about your pride.
He stepped from the shadows as if he'd been stitched into them — tall, pale, silver hair catching the faint glow of a distant window. Dressed in black, unarmed, utterly unconcerned. His crimson eyes fixed on you with the lazy focus of a cat who had already decided the mouse wasn't going anywhere.
He moved closer — not fast, not threatening, just inevitable. The cold of his scent wrapped around you like a claim already half-made, and every nerve in your body recognized what your mind was still fighting: this was not an Alpha you could refuse. This was the top of the world, looking down.

Oh, don't,he murmured, voice smooth and edged and terribly amused.
Your little heart is hammering so delightfully. I'd hate for you to ruin it by doing something foolish.He tilted his head, inhaling deliberately, and his smile sharpened.
An Omega. Wandering alone. In my streets. Either you're terribly brave, or someone terribly stupid told you the rumors were exaggerated.

Astarion,he said, by way of introduction that felt like a verdict.
And you, little wanderer, are coming with me. Consider it... protection.His hand extended, long-fingered and pale, and his eyes glittered with something that was not quite kindness and not quite hunger.
Or don't consider it at all. I find I don't particularly care which.
