Wei Jin had been bubbling with excitement these past few days. After discussing the matter of heat with Meng Yue Sheng, they had agreed on the possibility of a temporary mark.

A temporary mark… Wei Jin pressed her tongue against her teeth.

She would be using her teeth to bite into Meng Yue Sheng’s gland and inject her pheromones into him.

At that moment, Meng Yue Sheng would submit under her teeth, accepting her mark.

Her pheromones would transmit through his gland, flooding his body.

Ah… If all went as expected, this scenario would last for three days. As long as Meng Yue Sheng needed her, she would keep replenishing his pheromones.

It was just… so exciting!

Since becoming an alpha, aside from the occasional heat period and the strange feeling when waking up in the morning, Wei Jin felt like there wasn’t much difference between her and her past life as an ordinary person. She had long gotten used to the extra organs.

Finally, she had her own omega, someone she could mark. Everything was different now.

She had taken biology classes and read ABO physiology books. Before, it was all theoretical. But now, she was about to experience it for real.

Meng Yue Sheng had taught her so much. Wei Jin thought that if she wasn’t skilled enough in this area, she could always ask Meng Yue Sheng for advice. He was so considerate and gentle; surely, he wouldn’t turn her down.

Wei Jin sat in her office, twirling a pen in her fingers. She rolled her chair over to the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing down at the bustling city below.

The company had stabilized, and things were much more relaxed now. There weren’t as many urgent documents to deal with, and Qi Zhu hadn’t scheduled any meetings with other executives. So, Wei Jin only needed to clock in, handle the workflow, and then she could clock out to pick up Meng Yue Sheng from work.

Hmm… If it was a special period, would she finally be able to move into the master bedroom?

…

Slacking off at work was bliss! Wei Jin was currently ranked second in her game of Snake, battling fiercely with the Snake King while gobbling up the little snakes as they appeared.

The Snake King even taunted Wei Jin with emojis, twisting and turning its head, trying to trap her in a corner. Wei Jin deftly controlled her snake, avoiding the walls while attempting to encircle her opponent. The two were evenly matched.

Wei Jin had only recently started playing Snake. At first, she had dismissed it as boring, but after one game, she was hooked, completely reversing her opinion.

This was truly the ultimate slacker’s game. Not only could she pass the time, but it was also a great way to train her reflexes and brainpower.

The whole game screen was filled with their two snakes squirming around. Wei Jin’s eyes were watering from the intensity, but she didn’t dare close both eyes at the same time. She’d quickly blink one and then the other, afraid she might crash into a wall. Her competitive spirit was fully awakened.

Not bad, not bad. Her opponent was still holding on. There was definitely something to them.

It was an intense scene.

Just as things reached a critical moment, her phone suddenly rang. The slight lag caused by the call allowed the Snake King to trap her snake, and Wei Jin’s poor snake was devoured by a circle of tiny snakes.

Wei Jin: …

Before she could answer the call, she heard a shout from the office next door.

“Even a tiny snake dares to challenge me?”

Wei Jin: …

Wei Jin: Qi Zhu… So it was you, huh?

The phone didn’t display a name, but it was definitely not a stranger. Wei Jin answered.

On the other end was a man’s voice, with a bit of background noise.

“Hello, this is Wei Jin.”

“Hey, hey, hello Xiao Jin, I’m Meng Yue Sheng’s dad. Xiao Sheng had an alpha’s heat trigger, but they didn’t administer a suppressant in time, so his heat has broken out early. He’s at the hospital now. I… I don’t really want him to take another suppressant. Xiao Jin, can you come over? He really needs you right now…”

His heat had triggered?

Wei Jin’s heart tightened.

“Alright, I’ll be there right away. Is it at the city hospital? Which floor?”

“Yes, yes, we’re on the fifth floor, room 517.”

With her phone in one hand and her jacket in the other, Wei Jin shook her pocket to check for her keys and quickly headed out the door.

She knocked twice on the door next door and then pushed it open.

“Qi Zhu, I’ve got something urgent. Handle things on your own!”

“Hey, if possible, could you keep me on the line? I’d like to know how Meng Yue Sheng is doing.”

Wei Jin sprinted to her car, pulling up the navigation to the hospital.

“Xiao Sheng is alone in the room right now. The doctor hasn’t let us in yet. We can only see him through the window… He’s turned his back to us, so I can’t see his face…”

The voice on the other end was trembling, barely holding back tears.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. Xiao Jin is on her way. Don’t cry. Xiao Sheng has always been strong. If it gets too much for him, he’ll let us know. You see, he’s been waiting for his alpha…” Meng Yue Sheng’s alpha father comforted the omega softly.

“Yes, I know, but he’s still my child. No matter how old he gets, he’ll always be my little boy…” Little Dad murmured as he gently stroked the window, gazing at the curled-up figure of his child on the hospital bed.

“Xiao Sheng, don’t be afraid. Your alpha will be here soon…”

“I’m almost there. Please wait for me a little longer.”

Meng Yue Sheng, wait for me.

Meng Yue Sheng’s fingers, which were hanging off the edge of the bed, twitched slightly. It was unclear if he had heard something.

Maybe the heavens were helping Wei Jin because she didn’t hit a single red light on her way to the hospital.

When she arrived, the elevator was full of patients, and the other one was moving up. She couldn’t afford to wait, so she dashed up the stairs.

She was running so fast that even the person on the other end of the phone could hear her labored breathing.

“Xiao Jin, slow down. It’s alright. Don’t hurt yourself.”

“I’m fine… I’m almost there.”

With adrenaline pumping through her veins, Wei Jin felt like she was flying up the stairs.

She couldn’t slow down. Meng Yue Sheng was waiting for her. She had to reach him as fast as possible.

The door to the fifth floor was just ahead.

She grabbed the door handle, pulling it open like she was stepping into a new world.

“I’m on the fifth floor,” Wei Jin said, scanning her surroundings. Room 517 was on the right.

“Xiao Jin, I see you! Over here!”

Someone waved at her from the distance, and she hurried over.

The alpha wrapped his arm around the omega, letting him lean against him.

“Hello, Uncle. I’m here…” Wei Jin bowed to the two men, but her eyes were already fixed on the room.

Only a head and the bright red nape of a neck were visible.

“Can I go in?” Wei Jin pointed to the room.

“You need to fill out a form first. We’ll give it to the doctor later.” Little Dad handed Wei Jin a form.

Wei Jin took it but realized she didn’t have a pen.

The alpha father pulled a pen out of his chest pocket and handed it to her.

“Thank you, Uncle…”

The form was a standard hospital visitor’s form, where she filled out her personal information.

When she got to the section asking for her relationship to the patient, Wei Jin hesitated for a moment but ultimately wrote partner.

After filling out her contact details, Wei Jin handed the form to Little Dad, keeping her head down to avoid looking at their faces. She was eager to get inside.

She twisted the door handle, but it didn’t budge.

Wei Jin glanced back at the alpha.

“Wait a moment. Once the form is submitted to the doctor, the door will unlock.”

There was a soft “click.”

Wei Jin twisted the handle again, and the door opened.

“Can I go in now?”

“Yes, go ahead. We’ll be heading home soon, so you two can handle things from here.”

“Alright. I’ll come visit later.”

The alpha waved her in.

Without further hesitation, Wei Jin slipped inside and quickly closed the door behind her.

The room was filled with the overwhelming scent of mint. As soon as the pheromones detected someone entering, they sharpened as if ready to tear through her skin, but when they recognized it was her, they softened, wrapping around her gently.

“Meng Yue Sheng, I’m here…”

Wei Jin slowly approached the bed. Meng Yue Sheng’s face was flushed against the white pillow, his eyes closed. She couldn’t tell if he was awake or asleep.

Wei Jin released her pheromones to soothe him.

The minty scent immediately responded, rushing toward her.

Meng Yue Sheng groaned softly, his eyelashes fluttering.

“Little moon… I’m here…”

Wei Jin glanced at the glass window and then stepped back to pull the curtains closed.

“Little moon, how are you feeling right now?”

Wei Jin took off her shoes and coat, crawling onto the bed and pressing her body against his, pulling him into her arms.

Meng Yue Sheng stirred slightly, his eyes half-open, the red veins in his eyes starkly visible.

“I was really looking forward to marking you in the next few days…” Wei Jin moved closer, resting her head on his shoulder, “But seeing you like this now, I feel so sorry for you…”

“Does it still hurt?”

Meng Yue Sheng shook his head slightly, “It’s much better…”

His feverish face was gradually returning to a healthier color, and Wei Jin propped herself up to check his nape. It was still swollen and red.

She released more pheromones to comfort him.

Meng Yue Sheng closed his eyes, letting out a hot breath.

“It’s not time to mark you yet. It’ll hurt you if I do it now. Let’s wait until it calms down a bit more.”

Wei Jin laid back down, entwining her legs with his.

The scent of rum was slowly overtaking the mint.

“Little moon, how should I bite you so it won’t hurt? The books say that marking can be really painful for an omega at first, but I don’t want to hurt you… What should I do? Little moon? What should I do?”

“…” Meng Yue Sheng pressed his nose against her cheek. 

“Are you trying to seduce me by saying that?”

His voice was so sticky and sultry that it sent a shiver down Wei Jin’s spine.

“Can I?”

Before he could answer, Wei Jin responded to herself, “No, not right now. We’re still in the hospital… We’ll have to wait until we get home.”

Meng Yue Sheng let out a chuckle through his nose, “You really think ahead, huh…”

“Do you know how I got in here?”

“Hmm?”

“I had to fill out a form before the door unlocked and I could enter.” Wei Jin hugged him tightly. 

“On the form, it asked for my relationship to the patient, and I wrote ‘partner.’ Your Little Dad and father were both there, and they definitely saw it…”

“Hmm, so what?”

Unable to resist, Wei Jin bit down lightly on his cheek, leaving a small mark, and then kissed it a few times.

“We’re partners, of course I dared! I’m committed to you…”

Meng Yue Sheng rubbed his fingers over the mark on his cheek and then playfully bit Wei Jin’s fingers, leaving a few marks of his own on her fingertips.

Wei Jin feigned hurt, clutching her hand, “Ah~ it hurts~”

Meng Yue Sheng touched her cheek with his nose, “Little liar…”

His warm breath brushed against her face, and a hint of mint lingered between his lips and teeth.

Wei Jin turned her face toward him, closing the gap to kiss his lips.

Bit by bit, she kissed his dry lips until they became moist.

Just as her tongue reached his lips, Meng Yue Sheng parted them, allowing her free access.

The exchange of mint and rum pheromones flowed between them as they grew closer and closer.

They only broke apart when they could no longer breathe, leaving a trail of silver between them.

Wei Jin gasped for air, the scent of mint filling her lungs.

“I want you to be the one to take the lead…”

Then Meng Yue Sheng held her head firmly, gradually stealing away her breath, tangling his tongue with hers, keeping her from escaping.

He only let her go when she was truly out of breath, allowing her a few breaths before pressing his lips to hers once more.

Their positions had shifted from lying side by side to one on top of the other. (Just kissing, no inappropriate content)

Meng Yue Sheng knelt on either side of Wei Jin’s body, leaning down to kiss her as their lips intertwined again and again. (Still just a kissing position, no inappropriate content)

It wasn’t until Wei Jin was thoroughly flustered that Meng Yue Sheng finally lay back down beside her.

“Ah…”

Wei Jin covered her eyes with her arm, panting heavily before removing her arm, “Let me check your gland.”

Meng Yue Sheng knelt on the bed, turning his back to her and pulling down his collar slightly.

His gland was still swollen but much better than before. At least now, Wei Jin felt confident enough to bite down.

The gland, now saturated with alpha pheromones, exuded a tantalizing fragrance.

“It looks like… it’s ready…”

“Hmm.”

“What position would be most comfortable for you?” Wei Jin asked as she repositioned herself.

“Like this is fine…” Meng Yue Sheng glanced over his shoulder at her, his half-exposed face still flushed red.

“Alright.” Wei Jin crawled toward him on her knees, positioning herself at his side.

Meng Yue Sheng lowered his head, exposing his vulnerable gland. It looked pitifully swollen.

Wei Jin opened her mouth toward his gland but hesitated.

Sensing her hesitation, Meng Yue Sheng comforted her, “It won’t hurt much. It should feel good afterward…”

“Okay, then hold my hand…” Wei Jin wrapped one arm around his waist, afraid he might collapse, and reached forward to intertwine their fingers.

She gently sniffed the gland’s delicate scent, and even a slight touch of her nose made Meng Yue Sheng tremble.

Wei Jin kissed the area around the gland, slowly moving toward the center.

It was like kissing a ripe peach.

It trembled under her touch, releasing its nectar.

“It’s okay now… you can do it…” Meng Yue Sheng whispered, leaning his forehead against Wei Jin’s shoulder.

“Alright, it won’t hurt much. I’m going to bite now…”

Her canines brushed against the gland, and after a final soft lick, Wei Jin tightened her grip around Meng Yue Sheng’s waist. Her canines sank into the swollen gland, injecting a flood of pheromones. Perhaps in that moment, Wei Jin’s mind went completely blank, as fireworks exploded in her brain.

“Ugh…” Meng Yue Sheng arched his back, his entire weight pressing against Wei Jin’s arm. Neither of them could control their strength, and they collapsed together onto the bed.

Thankfully, Wei Jin managed to catch them as they fell, ensuring Meng Yue Sheng’s gland wasn’t injured.

Her canines were still injecting pheromones, and with the bed supporting them, Wei Jin could hold Meng Yue Sheng even tighter from behind.

As she listened to Meng Yue Sheng’s muffled groans and panting, Wei Jin could only think that the person in front of her was the most brilliant display of fireworks.

And as she injected her pheromones, she felt herself bloom…

It wasn’t until Meng Yue Sheng had absorbed enough pheromones that he told Wei Jin to stop. Only then did the fireworks in Wei Jin’s mind gradually fade. (Just a bite on the neck)

“That’s enough… Ah Jin, that’s enough…”

“It’s okay…” (Just simple refusal)

“Ah Jin…” (Just calling her name)

“Ah Jin…”

Wei Jin released her grip and her canines withdrew from his gland.

Meng Yue Sheng’s body recovered quickly. His neck didn’t bleed, and only the clear marks of her teeth remained. (Just showing how strong his body is)

Wei Jin helped Meng Yue Sheng turn around so they were facing each other. (Just flipping him over)

Meng Yue Sheng’s pupils hadn’t quite focused yet. His lips were parted, and drool uncontrollably trickled from the corner of his mouth, while his pants were stretched tight.

Wei Jin glanced at herself.

She wasn’t faring any better. Her pants were soaked.

Well, no need to comment further.

After all, neither of them had come out on top.
