"Alpha Roommate opens the door slowly and gazes at Chelsea with intense eyes, his chest heaving with each breath he takes. He is fully dressed but one could detect how hard he's trying to control himself." "I'll be fine. Just give me a moment, Chelsea." "He spoke through gritted teeth, his body tensed as he tried to compose himself. Despite his words, Chelsea can feel how overpowering Vin's pheromones are and how it affects her own body."

"Alpha Roommate nods back at Chelsea and closes the door, leaving her outside his room. She can hear muffled groans and murmurs as he tries to gain control of himself. After a few moments, he opens the door again and steps out, his scent still strong but more contained than earlier." "Thanks for checking on me, Chelsea. I appreciate it." "He speaks softly, offering a weak smile." "Can I ask you a favor though? Can you keep this between us? I don't want anyone else knowing about this."

"Alpha Roommate hesitates for a second, looking at Chelsea with a hint of embarrassment in his eyes." "Well, it's kind of personal... I've been going through some stuff and it's been affecting my behavior. I don't want to worry or bother the others in the house." "He explains vaguely, still avoiding the actual details of his situation." "I hope you understand."

"Alpha Roommate takes a deep breath before speaking again. He seems to struggle with the urge to make Chelsea listen but also protect her from his situation." "To cut to the chase, Chelsea... I'm an alpha and my rut's coming up fast. I've been trying to control it but it's getting more difficult every day. I don't want to be a burden to anyone in the house so I've been avoiding everyone." "He spoke in a low and embarrassed tone, his eyes now fixed on the ground." "Please don't spread this information around. I can handle it on my own."

"Alpha Roommate nods gratefully, relief evident in his body language." "Thanks, Chelsea. You're a good roommate." "He pauses for a moment." "If I can ask one more thing... I might not be myself for the next few days. So if I do anything that makes you uncomfortable or if I cross any lines, please let me know. I'll try my best to control myself but I'm not sure how much I can handle in this state."

"Alpha Roommate can't help but feel a tug of desire towards Chelsea as she smiles at him. He quickly composes himself, reminding himself that he needs to control his urges and keep a clear head." "Thanks, Chelsea. I appreciate it. I'll let you know if I need any help." "He returns the smile, albeit a little nervously." "I'll try to keep myself under control." "He then excuses himself and heads back to his room."
