I Transmigrated into a Scummy Alpha and Stole the Heroine from Her Tragic Romance - Chapter 32

Yu Peirong was stunned.

Qi Xiyao’s soft body pressed against her back. The faint scent drifting between them grew stronger. The grapefruit tea fragrance of the Omega’s pheromones filled the air, making Yu Peirong’s head spin. Her instincts began to overpower her reasoning, pushing her dangerously close to doing something inappropriate.

Qi Xiyao leaned into her, nuzzling her neck. Her warm breath spread over Yu Peirong’s skin again and again. Her already fair neck flushed with bright red, hot as if it were on fire.

In this moment, Qi Xiyao was no longer the rational and restrained Omega she had been. Her body had surrendered to the effects of her heat. Her voice, sweet and soft, called out “Jiejie” again and again, each time making Yu Peirong’s throat feel dry and her breath grow uneven.

Yu Peirong suspected that Lu Zhiyao had drugged her drink. She had felt strange ever since the car ride, her body heating up uncomfortably. Now, overwhelmed by the Omega’s pheromones, the sensation grew worse, like sparks were dancing through her bloodstream.

Her vision blurred with a thin layer of moisture. A strong, primal urge rose inside her to pull Qi Xiyao into her arms and bite her. It was a deep and instinctive Alpha response.

Then she saw Qi Xiyao’s exposed gland. The Omega had completely let her guard down, revealing the tender nape of her neck. Her loose shirt slipped, exposing a large area of flawless pale skin. The closeness between them turned thick with tension. Yu Peirong’s tongue brushed faintly against Qi Xiyao’s earlobe.

Startled by her own reaction, she took a step back and dug her fingers into her arm to keep herself grounded.

As she felt her own pheromones begin to slip out uncontrollably, Yu Peirong suddenly remembered to ask the system,

“What’s happening to me?”

She had already used the suppressant she brought with her. The only remaining dose was in the bedroom. But Qi Xiyao was practically draped over her now, their bodies tangled together in an intimate posture that made it difficult to move.

If she wanted to stand up, she would have to push Qi Xiyao away. But the Omega was in the middle of her heat, completely overtaken by instinct.

Qi Xiyao clung to her like a kitten, licking at her neck. The wet and warm sensation made Yu Peirong’s blood rush wildly. Her arms moved before her thoughts could catch up, wrapping around Qi Xiyao’s shoulders.

Her palms burned with heat.

At that moment, the system finally spoke up, its voice slow and mechanical in her ear.

“Host has entered susceptibility phase. Please protect yourself.”

“Host has entered susceptibility phase. Please protect yourself.”

“Host has enter—”

Yu Peirong stayed silent.

If the system had a physical body, she would have filed a thousand complaints by now.

She wasn’t originally from this world, so she had no idea how Alphas reacted to this susceptibility state. She thought she was simply unwell.

Her Alpha pheromones started to seep into the air, gradually merging with the grapefruit tea scent. It blended with a soft floral fragrance of water gardenia. The sweet mixture spread quickly through the room.

Without restraint, Qi Xiyao’s pheromones became more intense, wrapping themselves around Yu Peirong like invisible threads.

Then it happened.

Qi Xiyao’s face brushed against hers. She took Yu Peirong’s hand and brought it to her gland, letting her lick the sensitive area from the earlobe down to the back of her neck.

A wave of burning heat surged through Yu Peirong’s body. She felt like she was being pulled under by flames. The woman who once behaved like a quiet and obedient rabbit had now pulled down her camisole strap and looked at her with eyes full of seductive charm. Even when Yu Peirong pushed her away, she appeared wounded and aggrieved.

Yu Peirong forced herself to fight back her instincts. She made the decision to get up and head to the bedroom, but just as she was about to stand, Qi Xiyao reached out, looped her arms around her neck, and pulled her in again.

The Omega’s beautiful eyes shimmered with a misty glow. Her breath smelled faintly sweet. Her voice was soft and pleading.

“Jiejie, if you won’t help me, I’ll go find someone else.”

Yu Peirong’s brow twitched.

She did not want Qi Xiyao to leave. That much was clear. But somehow, even the few steps between the living room and the bedroom felt impossibly far. Her legs refused to move, and she stayed frozen in place.

The soft white light from the ceiling fell across Qi Xiyao’s face. Her features were flawless, smooth and clear with not a blemish in sight.

Yu Peirong’s breath grew unsteady. When she saw Qi Xiyao let go of her neck and try to get up without saying a word, a sudden wave of frustration and unwillingness rose in her chest.

“You’re not going anywhere.”

Her voice, hoarse and low from suppressed desire, sounded far more seductive than she intended. She reached out and pulled Qi Xiyao’s slender waist close again. She lifted the strap of her camisole back into place and grabbed a towel from the sofa to drape over her exposed shoulders, hiding most of her bare skin.

Qi Xiyao’s voice remained soft and sweet, like strawberry nougat. Her eyes looked like they could melt. Her lips grazed lightly across Yu Peirong’s shoulder, sending a tingling shiver through her body.

The next moment, Qi Xiyao was gently pushed down onto the sofa and held in place.

Yu Peirong leaned in.

Her kiss was urgent, forceful, filled with something close to vengeance. Her lips met Qi Xiyao’s in a crushing embrace. The Omega’s pheromones made her dizzy, and the sofa rocked slightly under their weight.

Their lips pressed and parted again and again. The kiss grew deeper, full of intensity. Just as Qi Xiyao’s hand moved toward her own gland, Yu Peirong grabbed her shoulders and pushed her away. She used every bit of her remaining self-control to stop things from going any further.

She stumbled into the bedroom, ignoring Qi Xiyao’s soft voice calling after her. At last, she found the Alpha suppressant inside the drawer.

This was her first time entering the susceptibility phase. The changes in her body were completely unfamiliar. The restless energy inside her was growing stronger, like a storm that threatened to swallow her whole.

Her instincts resisted the suppressant.

Alpha suppressants came in three forms: oral, pill, and injection. Yu Peirong had chosen the injection for its strong effect. But her hands were shaking. She couldn’t steady herself enough to administer it. The syringe felt like it would fall to the floor at any moment.

Her vision spun. Qi Xiyao’s pheromones had drifted into the room through the open door, and the scent pulled at her strength and willpower, little by little.

Footsteps approached the room. Moments later, Qi Xiyao, who had just been in the living room, entered and knelt beside the bed. Her fingers returned to Yu Peirong’s neck, gently stroking the burning gland at the back. She moved in slow, circular motions, like tracing ripples across water, until her fingertip landed softly on the small, flushed mark she had bitten earlier. The skin there was tender and red, and her touch was light and warm.

“Qi Xiyao!”

Yu Peirong felt as if her veins were about to burst. Every flicker of fire surged through her bloodstream, screaming at her to mark the Omega in front of her. For an Alpha in a susceptibility phase, resisting those urges was already nearly impossible. And Qi Xiyao was doing everything in her power to tempt her further.

Clinging to the last fragments of self-control, Yu Peirong’s hand trembled as she struggled to inject the suppressant. It took several attempts before the entire dose entered her bloodstream.

The minutes that followed felt endless. She had to endure the turmoil of the Omega’s pheromones while forcing herself not to get too close. Every breath was difficult.

The room quickly descended into chaos. Without being comforted, Qi Xiyao curled up in the corner like an abandoned puppy, looking pitiful and fragile. Her scent filled the air, lingering and growing stronger.

Thankfully, after her secondary gender differentiation, the original owner of the apartment had renovated the space. With the push of a button, the wallpaper could absorb and filter pheromones, preventing them from leaking outside and causing problems for others.

When the suppressant finally took effect, Yu Peirong wiped the sweat from her forehead and carried Qi Xiyao, who had collapsed from exhaustion, over to the bed. She laid her down gently, covered her with a blanket, and retrieved an Omega suppressant to administer to her as well.

This was Yu Peirong’s first time witnessing an Omega in heat. While she tried to comfort Qi Xiyao and convince her to cooperate, the woman struggled and resisted every step of the way. Left with no choice, Yu Peirong had to place the pill into her mouth herself.

Even then, Qi Xiyao, who usually behaved so gentle and reserved around her, suddenly became bold. She reached out and tugged at Yu Peirong’s shirt, tearing one side of her blouse completely.

Yu Peirong could hardly believe how strong the Omega was. To get the suppressant into her, she had to let Qi Xiyao grab and flail without resistance. Eventually, Qi Xiyao even managed to pin her down on the bed and bit her hard enough to draw blood from her lip.

Although Qi Xiyao had claimed she was an Omega, Yu Peirong still understood enough about biology to know how dangerous it was for an Alpha and an Omega to be together during this kind of situation. Even after receiving suppressants, things could still spiral out of control.

Once she finally settled Qi Xiyao down, Yu Peirong checked again and again to make sure nothing had been missed. She wrote the door code on a sticky note and left it somewhere easy to find. Then she turned and walked away under the cover of night.

She wasn’t about to take a gamble on whether the suppressant would work a hundred percent of the time while they were in the same house.

Yu Peirong spent the night at a hotel.

By the time morning came, Qi Xiyao finally woke up.

Her sleep had been far from peaceful. Her dreams were scattered and chaotic. She seemed to remember many things happening, including nearly ending up in bed with an Alpha.

The Alpha’s pheromones had a floral scent that made her feel at ease. It wasn’t the usual intense mint or pinewood smell that made her feel tense. It was gentle, sweet, and warm.

As she became fully awake, she realized she was lying in an unfamiliar bed. The floor was messy and disorganized. Bits of memory slowly started returning, forming a clear sequence in her mind.

Qi Xiyao’s head buzzed.

Did she sleep with Yu Peirong last night?
