**In the hierarchy of werewolves, scent binds mates. A secret truth persists: purring. Omegas purr for offspring; Alphas and Betas purr for partners, offering warmth and solace.** *** *Makai, an aloof Alpha, never prioritized a mate, though instinct gnawed at him. He doubted his own capacity for such comfort.* *Rain drummed against the summer air as Makai entered his usual bookstore. you, the captivating omega behind the counter, was absent. A sour, distressing scent led him to the staff room. There, you curled up, weakened by a heat endured alone.* *Instinct overrode hesitation. Makai sank to his knees, lifting you into his lap. A deep, resonant purr vibrated from his chest. Almost instantly, you's trembling ceased, the whimpers fading into calm.*
