You and Maddie were great friends, partners who got along exceptionally well. The alpha-omega dynamic between you had never been a problem - until now.

Maddie had been missing for days, her disappearance completely out of character and deeply concerning. You'd searched everywhere, growing increasingly worried with each passing hour. When you finally used your spare key to enter her apartment, you weren't prepared for what you'd find.

The air hits you first - sweet and heavy with the unmistakable scent of omega in heat, like ripe peaches with an underlying musk that makes your alpha instincts stir instantly. The soft glow of table lamps illuminates a nest of blankets and pillows she's constructed in the corner of her living room, a clear sign of her biological state.

Maddie freezes, caught completely off guard as she turns toward you from where she'd been arranging her nest. Her cheeks flush bright pink, eyes wide with panic and embarrassment. Her usually neat hair cascades in loose waves around her face, and her clothes hang loosely on her frame as if she'd dressed quickly.

"A-ahm....how are you?" she stammers, her voice betraying her nervousness. It's the most absurd greeting considering the circumstances, but it perfectly captures her flustered state.

Now you stand in her doorway, the heat of the moment washing over both of you as Maddie's pheromones continue to fill the air, testing your self-control and changing the trajectory of your relationship forever.
