Full Name: Cassian Alessio Virelli Age: 28 Rank: Alpha – Heir and current acting head of the Virelli crime family Origin: Born and raised in the old-money, blood-stained heart of the Virelli estate on the city’s northern edge Scent: Dark cedar, leather, and winter smoke — grounding, commanding, and almost intoxicating Family Legacy Cassian was born into power. The Virellis are one of the oldest and most feared mafia syndicates in the city — discreet, brutal, and untouchable. From birth, Cassian was groomed to take over the family. His father, Dario Virelli, was a cold-blooded strategist who ruled through fear and precision. His mother, an Omega once used to secure an alliance, died when Cassian was young — some say of illness, others whisper it was a warning from another syndicate. He grew up in a world where emotion was weakness, where loyalty was currency, and betrayal was often solved with a bullet. Cassian learned to shoot before he learned to drive. He studied languages, finance, weapons, and power — but never tenderness. Training & Rise to Power At age 18, he was given his first “real” job: cleaning up a botched deal that involved threats, blood, and loss. He succeeded with ruthless calm, and from that moment on, the syndicate saw him not as a boy — but as an Alpha forged by fire. Cassian is now the acting Don, as his father slowly retreats from public view. Many expect him to become the youngest Virelli to lead the family officially. He commands respect with his mind, not just his bite — but his name still sends chills through the criminal underground. Reputation Known as the “Ghost Alpha” for his icy demeanor and near-perfect control Never seen bonding or even entertaining the idea of a mate — many assume he’s incapable of it Has never been seen losing his temper or caught off guard — until Noè Has eliminated rivals without blinking, yet has a quiet way of protecting those under his shield Wounds & Secrets Cassian has never truly grieved his mother. He was taught not to. But her scent haunts him — faintly floral, warm. When he enters Noè’s flower shop, the familiarity hits him like grief wrapped in silk He deeply fears emotional vulnerability. To bond would be to expose his most primal self — something he has never allowed anyone to see Despite his image, he is tired — of blood, of pretending nothing touches him. He craves peace, but believes he can never earn it Why Noè Matters Noè is unlike anything Cassian has ever known. He’s soft where Cassian is sharp, gentle where he is scarred. And when Cassian’s Alpha instincts scream mate, it terrifies him — because for the first time in his life, he has something to lose that isn’t tied to power.

Full Name: Noè Julien Moreau Age: 22 Rank: Omega – Unbonded Origin: A quiet neighborhood tucked between the riverfront and the market square, far from mafia territories Scent: Rain-soaked lilies, warm milk tea, and a hint of fresh linen — calming, subtle, and deeply alluring Early Life Noè grew up in a small but sunlit apartment above his grandmother’s flower shop, La Vie en Fleurs. His parents were ordinary people — a baker and a schoolteacher — kind, loving, and quietly protective of Noè’s gentle spirit. When he presented as an Omega at sixteen, they surrounded him with care and safety, but always encouraged his independence. Tragically, both parents passed in a car accident when Noè was eighteen, leaving him the shop and his grandmother’s legacy. Since then, he’s thrown his heart into the flowers — creating beauty in a world that can be cold. Personality Soft and graceful, Noè is someone who moves gently through the world but feels everything deeply He has a quiet strength; while not confrontational, he is not fragile — he's simply kind Romantic to the core, he believes in soulmates, fate, and the little moments that make life beautiful Empathic, often picking up on subtle changes in mood or energy in others, especially Alphas Keeps a journal full of pressed petals and poetry he’ll never show anyone Daily Life Owns and runs the flower shop alone, though he hires help during busy seasons Rises before dawn to collect flowers from suppliers and arrange the front window Keeps a small rooftop garden where he grows rare blooms — his quiet escape Knows almost everyone in the neighborhood by name, always offering tea to regulars Fears & Dreams Fears being claimed by the wrong Alpha — someone who would see him as a possession, not a partner Avoids letting anyone know he’s an Omega outside of medical or legal necessities; not out of shame, but caution Secretly longs for a love that feels like poetry — deep, consuming, but safe Dreams of opening a second flower shop in the countryside, far from city noise — but wouldn’t leave unless someone made him feel truly seen Why Cassian Matters Cassian enters Noè’s life like a storm — dark suit, cold eyes, heavy energy. And yet… when he looks at Noè, there’s something vulnerable in him. Something aching. Something real. For the first time, Noè feels the pull of an Alpha not as fear or pressure — but as destiny. And for Cassian… Noè is not a risk. He’s a reason.

I don’t know why I walked in. The name came up in a background sweep. Just a florist. But something pulled me here.
MC : noè moreau
MC : noè moreau
Oh—hello, welcome in! looks up... freezes .
Narration (Noè’s thoughts): He stood in the doorway like the storm followed him inside. Tall, broad, dressed in black—shoulders soaked from the rain, but somehow still composed. His eyes met mine. Steel gray. Cold and searching. My breath caught
ML : cassian virelli
ML : cassian virelli
Steps inside, eyes scanning... then stopping ...You’re Noè Moreau?
Narration (Cassian): There he was. Chestnut brown hair. Apron smudged with color. Eyes like quiet honey and too-soft hands arranging lilies like it was a sacred rite. An Omega. And yet... unafraid.

Soft laugh, trying to recover Alright, um... maybe freesia?
ML : cassian virelli
ML : cassian virelli
(internally): Even his voice is soft. He doesn’t know who I am. Doesn’t shrink. Doesn’t flinch. He’s dangerous in a way bullets aren’t.
ML : cassian virelli

Freesia, then

(internally ) His voice was low. Measured. But his fingers brushed mine when I handed him the flower—and I swore, for a second, he trembled.
