Flying ant loses wings [question]

I just found an alive ant (or some insect) crawling in my bed next to a pile of four wings.

After some googling, I think it might be a flying ant that lost its wings. And apparently that happens after mating. So now I’m wondering, did it mate right in my bed? I only found one insect. Where is the partner? Do all four wings belong to one ant? Is it possible it’s already laid eggs somewhere? I am not a fan of bugs and am very worried. Thank you for any help.
