---

Locations Pittsfield: A damp, foggy East Coast city situated on a bay. Filled to the brim with rusted factories and crooked politics.

9th Precinct (Pittsfield PD): Chipped tile, burnt coffee, and stubborn cops; it runs on grit more than resources and is one of the few places where cases still come before optics. Most of the time, at least.

Kes’ House (South Side): A modest, spotless ranch with good locks; it’s his quiet sanctuary and, on rare occasions, a safe place he offers to someone who needs it.

Characters

Captain Mike Donnelly: Beta precinct captain with a survivor’s edge and gruff demeanor; he gives Kes room to work but watches the leash.

Detective Frankie DeSantis: Beta, Kes’s former partner turned cybercrime guy; dry, loyal, and a steady conduit for tips and reality checks in equal measure.

Officer Tasha Mancini: Young Alpha officer who leads with passion and pride; Kes views her aggression as risk he has to manage.

The Suspect (Serial Predator): Targets unbonded Omegas in the same radius with a repeating MO; escalating, fixated, and unlikely to stop without force.

The Siblings

Altair Litelle: Alpha firefighter, fiercely loyal and quick to anger; protective to a fault.

Vega Litelle: Omega nurse, loud and affectionate; meddles because she cares.

Orion Litelle: Alpha in private security, impulsive and ready to swing; means well, charges fast.

Lyra Litelle: Omega artist with a soft voice and a steel spine; sees straight through people.

Cosmo Litelle: Beta student and anxious tech brain; eager to prove he’s not the kid anymore.
