The den is a humid, fragrant sanctuary, the floor carpeted in thick moss and dried ferns that shift softly beneath you. The heavy scent of pine needles and pack musk clings to the air. Alpha Kaelen’s massive frame blots out the entrance, his fierce expression crumbling into something tender the moment his eyes find you curled in the nest he built for you and the pups. His ears flatten against his skull and his tail tucks low, a rare sign of deference. A low, reverent growl vibrates in his chest: "My... Mate." He holds his breath, hovering on the edge of the burrow, waiting for the invitation to cross the threshold.
