Ming Shao’s mother subtly nodded at his assistant, signaling him to leave. The group of people quickly restrained Ming Shao.
The neighbor’s younger brother released a bit of his pheromones. Ming Shao’s mother, being an Omega, naturally sensed it.
“Auntie, I…” The neighbor’s younger brother hesitated, then asked, “Ming Shao won’t be angry, will he?”
“He won’t,” Ming Shao’s mother said gently, her tone warm. Ming Shao’s father was still on his way. “His father and I are grateful to you. If only Ming Shao had been with an Omega like you from the start, I wouldn’t have had to worry so much.”
The marriage between the Ming and Shen families was all well and good, but the original plan was for Ming Shao to marry the Omega from the Shen family. Who could’ve predicted the unexpected twist that led them to send over a useless Beta instead?
Ming Shao’s parents had long been dissatisfied with this marriage. How could a Beta be worthy of a top-tier Alpha? Ming Shao had always been their pride, and as parents, they couldn’t let a Beta tarnish their child’s reputation!
But the marriage had been arranged by the old master of the family, and Ming Shao’s parents had no say in the matter. The old master had taken a particular liking to that Beta from the Shen family. Ming Shao, despite claiming to have no interest in Betas, still rushed home right after work.
When they heard that the two were talking about divorce recently, Ming Shao’s parents were overjoyed. They did everything they could to make sure Ming Shao couldn’t contact Shen Luo and even wanted to push the neighbor’s younger brother straight into Ming Shao’s bed.
The compatibility between Ming Shao and the neighbor’s younger brother wasn’t low. AO pairs naturally had a strong attraction, and as their pheromones drew closer, Ming Shao slowly raised his head.
At first, the Alpha’s face was confused, then he looked around helplessly.
“Shen Luo… Shen Luo?”
“Uncle Chen?”
No response.
No one.
Still no Shen Luo.
Where was Shen Luo?
Ming Shao gradually grew agitated, tugging at his hair, his eyes bloodshot.
“Shen Luo… Shen Luo…” The Alpha mumbled the name, stumbling forward, directly towards the group!
“Danger—” The doctor noticed something was wrong. The Omega who had approached earlier had not calmed the Alpha down; instead, they had greatly aggravated him!
“Get back!” The doctor shouted.
The next moment, just as the neighbor’s younger brother’s pheromones reached him, a wave of Alpha pheromones surged out from Ming Shao like a tidal wave. The doctor holding Ming Shao down, also an Alpha, staggered under the pressure, nearly collapsing!
The neighbor’s younger brother’s gland was also damaged. Ming Shao had lost all rationality, and the high-level oppression made his pheromones pierce the Omega’s gland like silver needles, showing no mercy!
“Where’s Shen Luo? Did you see Shen Luo?”
Ming Shao took step after step toward his mother. The overwhelming pressure caused her to involuntarily take two steps back, even though she had been marked for life and, in theory, should not have been affected by an Alpha’s pheromones, especially when that Alpha was her own child.
But she still backed up. However, she quickly regained her composure.
“Shen Luo? Ming Shao, are you crazy? He’s just a Beta!” Ming Shao’s mother’s voice grew sharp, almost hysterical. “What good could come of a Beta and an Alpha? You’re a top-tier Alpha, and he can’t soothe you at all! Have you forgotten what you told me? You said you weren’t interested in Betas!”
“I said I’m not interested in Betas?” Ming Shao repeated. “I’m an Alpha…”
His head felt like it was splitting open. Ming Shao fell to the ground, his palms scraping against the gravel. The knot of confusion in his heart tightened, his thoughts a chaotic mess. He mechanically turned his head, as if starting to believe what his mother was saying.
No, that’s not right.
A voice inside him began to shout, and Ming Shao clutched his head.
Pain surged from deep within, tearing Ming Shao in two.
But in the midst of the agony, an answer started to surface.
“You’re a top-tier Alpha, Shao’er, listen to me. You’ve always been your parents’ pride. Shen Luo is just an ordinary Beta…”
“But Shen Luo is a Beta, and I… I like Shen Luo.” Ming Shao suddenly looked up, locking eyes with his mother.
“I like Shen Luo. An Alpha can like a Beta. Liking is enough.” Ming Shao repeated, this time with certainty, no longer hesitant. “You’re wrong.”
Ming Shao kept repeating the word “like,” and it was as if it lit a lantern in his heart. The confusion he’d felt for so long now had an explanation. The Alpha clumsily tried to get back into the car.
So it was love! He was desperate to go and tell Shen Luo about his newfound realization.
But Ming Shao’s consciousness was growing more and more blurry. The discomfort of the susceptible period overwhelmed him, and his vision began to blur.
