The ratio of Alphas to Omegas was grossly disproportionate in the present day and age. According to reliable data analyses, they were outnumbered by a terrifying ten to one. That also meant that only one out of ten Alphas would be able to partner with an Omega, while the rest had to spend their days with a Beta. Or, they could even mess around with another Alpha.
The Ye family had always maintained their elite bloodline, and 90% of the offspring they bore were Alphas. It was rare for an Omega to appear. Every Omega born into their family would possess abnormally strong pheromones, and they were much more attractive than the average Omega.
The Ye family’s fourth son, Student Ye Xin, was a very attractive Omega.
Even though he had been raised carefully in the Ye family and always used his inhibitors, there were slips, such as when the wilful young master would complain about the disgusting taste of the inhibitors. Fortunately, nobody else was at home. In addition, considering how large the Ye family house was, he wouldn’t be able to attract any Alphas no matter how strong his pheromones were.
So, he secretly went without his inhibitors, and that was bound to lead him to a tragic outcome.
He underestimated himself. Even though it wasn’t his estrus period, the smell of his pheromones on a regular day was actually enough to distract the soldiers guarding the exterior of the Ye family house. Unable to control themselves, they snuck into the mansion and almost caused a huge disaster.
Since then, Ye Xin never dared to stop taking his inhibitors and brought them with him obediently wherever he went. Especially for such a big event as escaping from his marriage, he took all his inhibitors with him for fear that he would die on the streets as soon as he snuck outside.
However, he had only been gone for three days, how did he end up in that situation?
Shi Qing thought seriously about that question while receiving Ye Qing’s memories. In his memories, Ye Xin was wilful, but he was very independent, smart, and very resourceful. At the very least, Yye Qing felt that Ye Xin was much better than him.
Logic told him that Ye Xin wouldn’t do something as stupid as losing his luggage!
So, what on earth was going on?
After rushing towards the Loafel Region, Shi Qing finally understood what chaos was. Holy crap, it’s like a battlefield of wild beasts!
Also…This smell is intense!
Shi Qing couldn’t help but frown. The smell was choking even for him as an Omega, so he could imagine how crazy an Alpha could become.
Wait! He suddenly realized that Qin Mo didn’t have a fated pair, so how could he resist that fatal attraction?
He turned his head abruptly and saw Qin Mo standing there calmly.
Shi Qing wondered for a moment, but he quickly understood. That’s right, he took the suppressant.
A suppressant was a legitimate means of protection that every family utilized. Even if they are blood relatives, the natural attraction of Omega and Alpha did not go away, but incest was illegal and unforgivable. In order to avoid any unsavoury situations, families like the Ye family would administer suppressants for the Alpha sons specifically towards their brother’s pheromones so that they would not be affected by them.
The place Ye Xin was at was relatively remote without many people coming and going. Even so, at least a hundred or so Alpha had gathered, crowding the narrow streets and forming an impenetrable wall of people.
Shi Qing’s heart thumped. Could Ye Xin still be safe under such circumstances?
Immediately after that thought, he heard a scream, and then the strong smell of blood that was pouring out.
He quickly moved to higher ground and finally took a clear look at the situation.
Ye Xin was at the very center of the circle of crazed Alphas and his clothes had already been torn apart, revealing his fair skin like a tempting dessert. He was currently being held by a strong man who possessed a tall stature and cold eyes. The silver uniform of one of the Federation’s high-ranking officers he wore was slightly untidy at the moment, and what was even more eye-catching were the five stars on his shoulder. He was a high-ranking general!
He was one of the three high-ranking generals of the Federation, not to mention a powerful Alpha at the same time.
His eyes were already blood shot at that moment and his senses were beginning to go. Still, he still pursed his lips tight, forcefully holding back against the desire that was almost burning him as he held Ye Xin unsteadily with one arm while holding a broken blade in the other hand, slashing a bloody trail out from the pack of Alphas.
Those people were all citizens of the Federation so he couldn’t use deadly weapons. While the broken blade left a trail of blood everywhere, it wasn’t fatal. Unfortunately, it was because of that reason that he received a lot of attacks as well.
In the end, it was his persistence that kept Ye Xin safe.
Shi Qing was shocked, but Qin Mo had already begun moving. He rushed into the crowd with a taser in his hands. With precise movements, he knocked out over a few dozen Alphas in the blink of an eye.
Shi Qing also quickly came back to his senses and pulled out his non lethal taser, rushing into the crowd right behind him.
With the two of them helping, the more than a hundred Alpha were all subdued and the only one still conscious was the general holding Ye Xin.
After getting closer, Shi Qing was able to have a better look. The man had a very stout body that had clearly seen much training and exercise. He was very handsome and staid, but the wrinkles at the corner of his eyes revealed his age.
Thinking for a moment, Shi Qing quickly realized who he was. He had heard about that person from Ye Xin.
During an Omega’s rut, it wasn’t just alphas that were affected. The Omega themself would become completely intoxicated. Ye Xin was holding him tightly with blushed cheeks and a drunken gaze. It seemed like the only person left in the world was that strong man in front of him. “Please, Lin Su, I beg you. Can you hold me? I just want you…Please…Mark me…please…”
That soft and fascinating voice with the slightest whimper of a cry was like deadly poison to an Alpha. Lin Su’s eyes quickly saw red and his hand began to shake violently. The veins on his neck were bulging. It was a frantic struggle between his reason and desire. He was holding Ye Xin close, and his nose was filled with the sweet and tantalizing smell of a young Omega that was going to drive him insane. His desire had long flared up, but the soft hips that pressed against him were almost pushing him past his boundaries.
He was wet, completely wet. Ye Xin was fully ready. He was waiting for him. If he went in, took him, and marked him, then he would be his. That young and charming omega that was constantly seducing him would be completely his! He would no longer have to restrain himself, he could take him, fuck him, anytime, anywhere, filling his soft body with his seed, impregnating him and making him give birth to his child!
Those beautiful fantasies were making him lose control and power, he was getting more and more desperate to rip his clothes off and to kiss him. He wanted to…He couldn’t contain the demons in his heart anymore.
Just then, an icy call unexpectedly threw him from his wonderful heaven down to hell.
“Uncle.”
Lin Su snapped back to his senses and looked in the shock at the young man in front of him. No emotions seemed to flow in his calm, waveless eyes. That ‘uncle’ was also blunt and cold, as if there wasn’t any deeper meaning to it. Even so, it was enough. It was enough to douse LIn Su in cold water. He was embarrassed.
It felt like it took all his strength to loosen his death grip on Ye Xin’s arm and his voice was extremely hoarse from suppressing his desires. “Sup-pres-sants, give them…to him…”
After leaving Lin Su’s embrace, Ye Xin began to struggle wildly. His phoenix eyes were filled with tears and though he was still burning with desire, he still kept his sanity. “No! Lin Su, no! Don’t let me go! Don’t push me away! No, no!”
However, the doctor that had arrived promptly had quickly injected the tranquilizer and suppressant into his arm.
Ye Xin passed out, and the last, uresigned look in his eyes contained intense disappointment, as well as a persistent and strong sense of deep love that could not be quenched. All those things stung Lin Su. Even though he was no longer dazed by his instincts, his heart was truly hollowed out at that moment.
After the chaos subsided, Qin Mo took Shi Qing back. On the way back, sitting in the aircraft, Shi Qing was still a little out of it.
There were only the two of them in the confined space. Very naturally, Qin Mo took his hand and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”
Shi Qing began to speak unconsciously, “Ye Xin and Lin Su…” He had no idea what he wanted to say, but there was just a sour taste in his mouth.
Qin Mo touched his hand and looked straight ahead. Seemingly unconcerned, he said, “Cowards.”
Shi Qing froze and looked at him in confusion.
Qin Mo handed the driving rights to the AI and turned around to hold Shi Qing in his arms, speaking close to his ear, “If it were me, I wouldn’t have let you leave. So what about our ages? Our sex? And what of our blood? You’re mine, and you can only be mine. Nothing can take you away from me, not even fate.”
He spoke those words very calmly, but there was a strong sense of defiance in the steady tone of his deep and hoarse voice, as if each and every word caused a burst of thunder to break out in Shi Qing’s heart.
He was completely stunned.
It should have been completely ridiculous, and yet it felt so logical at that moment.
Someone he’d only known for a day, someone connected to this body by blood, and yet such crazy ideas came from his head.
He did want to be by his side and to stay with him. He realized with immense clarity that if he left, then this man would no longer be himself.
As if giving in to his instincts completely, Shi Qing followed the throbbing of his heart and repeated the promise he had made to him a long time ago. “I won’t leave you.”
The two held each other in the quiet space.
Shi Qing thought he must have gone crazy, but he didn’t feel like sobering up at that moment. Crazy? So be it. Even if it was a dream, it was still so satisfying.
When they returned to the Ye family residence, Ye Xin had already been sent back a step ahead and had woken up.
He had changed his clothes and was now sitting on the couch. His pretty face had gone back to normal. Even though it was dazzling, he radiated a sense of cold rejection.
Old Patriarch Ye however, stood up abruptly and shouted, “You brat! Lin Su? Lin Su?? He’s twenty years older than you! Have you gone mad?!”
I hope everyone is staying healthy and safe out there. If Qin Mo can be sexually attracted to a dagger, I’m sure we can all love our fellow humans even just a bit.
PS – Helli is still assisting me greatly. I’m not pretending to do it all myself. Probably.
