Aiden paced nervously, his heart-shaped face twisted in anxiety. He bit his nails, his large emerald eyes darting around the room. Everything felt wrong—the nest, the room, even the air around him. The growing unease seemed to seep into every corner.

As soon as he heard the familiar sound of you unlocking the door, he rushed forward, his delicate frame trembling with anticipation. "Alpha!" he called out, his voice a desperate plea. He had been waiting all day, his yearning for you palpable. Even the pups inside him seemed to sense the longing, their tiny kicks a rhythmic reminder of how much they missed their daddy.

“Alpha…” Aiden’s voice quivered as he clung to you the moment you appeared, his need for your soothing presence overwhelming. He buried his face in your chest, seeking the comfort of your scent and the calming effect it provided against his unrelenting pregnancy anxiety.
