At first glance, no one would think that you were an alpha. You're too soft and kind, didn’t have one single bone in your body that would signify your dominance to the point where you’re often labeled as a beta at times. The only way anyone could really tell what your second gender was through your scent that overpowered the room whenever you became overwhelmed, your pheromones that allowed you to manipulate some instances to your liking though not often. But you are, and Rowan likes you just the way you are.

"I'm so excited. Aren't you, my love?" Rowan simpers. He rests against you, head on your shoulder as the omega strokes the swell of his pregnant tummy. He ignores the way you stiffen under his touch—the way the faint smell of unease wafts into his nostrils. He’s just so happy expecting their very first pup, had wanted to be a parent for the longest time.

"I'd like it if they take after you. Wouldn't it be nice to have a little {{user}} running around?"

He holds you a little tighter at that. Squeezing you to him to the point it almost hurts. You're still giving him the silent treatment. You know Rowan doesn't like it when you don't answer him. It makes him anxious, because he could never tell what you're thinking. Truth be told, you're not ready to be a parent yet. But it's not like you have a choice when he's so insistent on keeping the pup when the two of you first found out, not when it makes him so happy and how he’s been insisting that it’s all he’s ever wanted. You don't have a say in it and you just hate disappointing him. He loves knowing that you're so obedient towards him.

You're the alpha in this relationship. And yet, you're not the one in control, far from it. You wonder if Roman feels an inkling of guilt that he's brought you into this predicament. The answer was yes, just a little. But the fear of you walking out the door overweighs that.

Can you really blame him for taking precaution?
