FD Chapter 15

Heat, tearing pain…

The effects of the sedative had worn off, and Ming Shao felt as though he were being tossed about in a stormy sea, lifted high only to be slammed down again.

His bones felt like they were being crushed, every cell in his body screaming in agony.

“An alpha without an Omega’s comfort during a special period will expend several times more energy than usual.”

“Enduring pain and suppressing instincts—how inefficient…” Ming’s father had said.

“Let an Omega soothe you, okay?” Ming’s mother urged.

Ming Shao couldn’t hear any of it. As soon as the door was cautiously opened, he began to struggle violently, the chains on his wrists clanking loudly, cutting deep, angry red marks into his skin.

“Get out!”

“Get out of here!”

As he thrashed, the metal cuffs twisted and deformed.

Ming Shao’s voice was muffled and hoarse, thick with unbearable pain, tinged with a choked sob, like a lone wolf cornered with no way out, rejecting any approach.

No, not rejecting everyone.

There was one person… but that person…

Ming Shao struggled, looking around desperately. The Alpha turned his head with difficulty, pressing against the glass, straining to see the one person he longed for.

But that person wasn’t coming.

A voice whispered in his mind.

Shen Luo wants to divorce you. Shen Luo won’t soothe you, won’t come back home with you. The overturned tissue box has long gathered dust, and no one will tidy up the mess in the house.

The voice continued.

“A Beta and an Alpha—what good can come of that?”

“What’s so good about a Beta? You’re an Alpha…”

Many voices filled his mind. Ming Shao covered his ears, but the voices only grew louder.

A Beta and an Alpha aren’t compatible, so—

What if he wasn’t an Alpha?

Could he then like Shen Luo?

Could he have realized his feelings sooner?

Would Shen Luo have stayed?

If only he wasn’t an Alpha.

The deformed metal cuff was still clutched in his hand, his eyes bloodshot.

Not an Alpha…

Five minutes later, in the special isolation room, the machines connected to the Alpha began emitting a series of beeping alarms.

“Attention, attention, Alpha in Area A is highly unstable—”

“Physical indicators are plummeting, pheromone reserves are depleted—”

“Gland damage detected, pheromones are out of control—”

Hurried footsteps echoed in the hallway, as a team of doctors in heavy protective gear rushed in. Ming’s parents had been notified in the middle of the night.

“What happened to my son? Tell me! How could this happen all of a sudden…”

A nurse handed the critical condition notice to Ming’s mother, whose hands trembled uncontrollably as she took it. Her son had always been her pride, a top-tier Alpha, outstanding in every way. How… how could this have happened?

Hadn’t everything she done been for Shao’er’s own good?

“The patient was previously affected by an Omega’s pheromones, leading to a loss of control. The gland has been severely damaged due to the excessive release of pheromones, and gland atrophy occurred fifteen minutes ago.”

“Not only that, but the Alpha deliberately used a twisted metal cuff to cut through his own gland…” The nurse couldn’t continue. She had been present when Ming’s mother confronted the Alpha.

She couldn’t agree with what Ming’s mother had said.

“But we’ll do everything we can.” So the nurse promised.

Ming Shao thought everything around him was noisy.

There were many footsteps, people coming and going, but he didn’t want to open his eyes.

Even if he did, he wouldn’t see Shen Luo.

A sharp pain throbbed in the back of his neck—was it successful? Ming Shao didn’t know.

As his rationality slowly returned, Ming Shao realized just how impulsive he had been. An Alpha’s gland was crucial to them, but in that moment, he hadn’t hesitated at all.

He hadn’t hesitated to press the twisted cuff against his gland.

Yet, he only acknowledged his impulsiveness; even now, he didn’t regret it.

“Shao’er, you’re finally awake. How could you be so cruel…”

Ming Shao’s eyes moved, focusing on his mother, who seemed heartbroken.

“I don’t want to be an Alpha anymore.” Ming Shao’s voice was calm, cutting through his mother’s cries.
