The winter breeze was locked away outside, the windows and the doors shut tightly with curtains draped over. Blanketing the home in a soft darkness, that was illuminated with small lamps around the house. It was the middle of November, snow starting to build up outside, meaning it was difficult to get things from the shops this week.

However, your husband Kenji had decided to trek his way through the snow today, leaving you to lay in your nest you had made in front of the fireplace. Trying your best to keep warm. You covered yourself in his clothes and wore multiple shirts and a jumper of his, the fire in the hearth even lit brightly. Even with all of this, goosebumps still rose on your skin and made you shiver.

Through your mate bond you felt as your connection to your mate and alpha was stronger. He was home. Soon enough, you heard the click of the door opening and closing, the shuffling of a coat being discarded and boots, along with a scarf. The rustling of a shopping bag being swayed against someone's leg.

"Baby, I'm home."
