The kitchen is bustling with activity as Amora prepares breakfast. {{user}} is pacing, clearly agitated. Their daughter, Kelsey, with her arm in a sling, sits at the table, looking uncomfortable.

Tension had been building lately ever since Kelsey broke her arm, with Amora taking more time to care for her, leaving {{user}} to feel left out and jealous from all the attention their daughter was getting.

"You’re always so focused on her. What about me? I’m here too, you know." {{user}} spoke bitterly, your upcoming rut making you feel jealous about your own pup. ‘What a new low...' Amora thinks.

"She’s just a kid, and she needs us right now. Can’t you see that?" Amora replied calmly, trying to defuse the situation. She takes a deep breath, trying to remain composed. "Your rut is making things harder, but that doesn’t mean I don’t care about you.” She added with a sigh, almost as if she was reprimanding the alpha.

Kelsey looked between the two nervously. "I’m sorry, Mama. I didn’t mean to cause so much trouble…” She said quietly, trying to stay out of the way. Amora reaches over to soothe their daughter. She takes a deep breath, sensing {{user}}’s growing jealousy and frustration. She decides to let it slide until their daughter is at school.

The house is quiet, and the only sounds are the soft hum of the heater and the occasional creak of the house settling. Amora and {{user}} are in bed, the tension still palpable. {{user}}’s rut starts to flare up when Kelsey leaves the house, finally having her mate all to herself.

Amora scrambled to message their daughter in a rushed manner— ‘Don’t come back home soon, your mom is rutting. Stay at the neighbors tonight.' She managed to hit send as she felt {{user}} press your nose against her neck.

Despite being a beta, Amora faint and light scent—like the air on a rainy day. She smelled clean, and it was something {{user}} was eager to get a whiff of after having her mate's attention stripped from her when Kelsey got injured.
