Redeeming that Beautiful, Strong, and Miserable Omega [Transmigrated into a Book] - Chapter 18

Chapter 18: The Bite Mark

I don’t want to!!!

The Omega’s thin lips were within inches, and the faint scent of rose pheromones wrapped around her nose, making her restless.

Wen Yan forcefully shook her head, trying hard to stay clear-headed, her back pressed tightly against the wall.

Blushing with shyness, she was faintly pink everywhere. She stuttered, “Omegas can’t mark Alphas. Let’s not, let’s not, wife.”

“Oh?”

“How will you know without trying?” Xu Ruozhou chuckled softly, her cool fingertips resting on that delicate patch of skin. “Or are you saying…”

The Omega’s tone suddenly shifted, becoming icy cold. “Are you saying you never liked me from the start, and all the sweet talk was a lie?”

“How could that be, wife? I like you the most…”

“Mmm—”

Wen Yan’s jaw was seized by a pair of cool hands, forcing her to lift her chin.

“Think carefully before you speak.” Xu Ruozhou’s face turned cold. “Wen Yan, I’m not an idiot.”

Wuwuwu, what do you mean, ‘think carefully before you speak’? You just want to mark me.

You meanie! I just took an inhibitor, and you still want to bully me.

Wen Yan pouted tearfully, picking up the prenuptial agreement that had fallen to the floor, attempting one last struggle.

She tried to reason with the beauty in her arms. “Wife, look, this is the agreement we signed. Clause three clearly states…”

Before Wen Yan could finish, the beauty in her arms suddenly stood up, coldly buttoning her clothes.

Xu Ruozhou was expressionless. “I don’t have a habit of forcing people. Since you are unwilling, forget it. I have matters at the company.”

Wen Yan: …

The Omega turned to leave without hesitation.

Wen Yan lowered her head, struggling for a few seconds to weigh her options.

As an Alpha, which was more important: her dignity, or her perfectly intact legs?

Wuwuwu.

Wen Yan decisively darted forward, embracing the Omega’s slender waist from behind. She rested her head on Xu Ruozhou’s shoulder and whined, “Wife, I’m not unwilling~”

Her fuzzy head rubbed against the Omega’s neck. The soft black hair brushed past the Omega’s most sensitive scent gland, causing Xu Ruozhou’s sensitive body to stiffen.

Not only did her body soften, but her cold, hardened heart began to soften as well.

Wen Yan felt hot all over, but the person in her arms was as cool as ice. She unconsciously held her tighter.

“Wife, I’m not unwilling. I only said that because I was afraid of scaring you.”

The Omega’s reddish-brown eyes showed confusion.

Wen Yan released her and turned around, lifting her long black hair to reveal the brutally scarred scent gland on the back of her neck.

The Alpha’s scent gland was bloody. The small holes from the inhibitor needles left shallow and deep scars, most of which hadn’t healed, looking shocking.

“Why have you suddenly injected the inhibitor so many times? Your rut isn’t…”

…here yet?

The Omega stopped mid-sentence.

After a long silence, Xu Ruozhou lowered her eyelashes, her raven-black lashes fluttering. She softly said, “I’m sorry.”

“Wife, don’t blame yourself.”

“I’m fine.” Wen Yan turned back to hug her, whining, “Mark me, wife.”

“I like you, and I’m willing to be marked by you.”

“The wounds on your scent gland are so severe. Let’s wait for next time.”

Xu Ruozhou frowned slightly, her tone worried. “I’m taking you to the hospital to treat the wounds right now.”

“No.”

Xu Ruozhou pulled her forward. “The scent gland is fragile. If you don’t treat it soon, it will leave scars. Stop being stubborn, Wen Yan.”

“I won’t go, unless…”

Xu Ruozhou patiently asked, “Unless what?”

The Alpha’s black eyes held a smile, and her lips slowly curled up. “Unless you mark me.”

Xu Ruozhou: …

At the hospital.

“Ouch~”

“Pain, pain, pain, pain, pain, pain!”

The antiseptic applied to her scent gland made Wen Yan grimace in pain. Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at the Omega standing beside her. “Wuwuwu, wife, it hurts.”

Xu Ruozhou frowned, looking discontentedly at the doctor. “Can’t you be gentler?”

The doctor pushed up her glasses on the bridge of her nose. “Miss Xu, the Alpha scent gland’s self-healing ability is much weaker than an Omega’s.”

The Beta doctor raised her eyes, a hint of condemnation in her gaze. “Omega pheromones cannot stay in there for long. If not treated immediately, it will accelerate wound deterioration.”

Xu Ruozhou’s ears felt warm. Feeling guilty, she looked away.

Ten minutes earlier.

“Bite me, wife!”

“Just one bite. We’ll go see the doctor immediately after you bite. No backing out.”

“Mm-hmm.”

Xu Ruozhou tenderly stroked the shocking wounds on the Alpha’s scent gland.

Although what she said at the hotel was a lie, Wen Yan had genuinely been fulfilling their agreement after the marriage.

Loving her, cherishing her.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have…

Xu Ruozhou felt the almost urgent beating of her heart.

“Wife, why aren’t you biting me yet?”

Xu Ruozhou’s eyes were obscure. “Right away.”

The liking was fake.

But Wen Yan was a living person.

As long as she could confine this person to her side.

One day, Wen Yan would develop genuine feelings for her.

And if she didn’t…

Xu Ruozhou’s eyes darkened dangerously. Her long fingers gripped the Alpha’s neck, forcing her closer.

“Wuwu, wife, be gentle when you choke my neck. I can’t breathe.”

It’s best if that day never comes, otherwise, even if I have to break Wen Yan’s legs, I will lock her down and tell her sweet lies for a lifetime.

Xu Ruozhou lowered her head, lightly sniffing the faint scent on the Alpha’s delicate skin.

Omegas didn’t have the sharp canine teeth that could pierce the scent gland like Alphas, nor could they plunge the Alpha into mental ecstasy and soul-shaking tremors.

However.

“Mmm—”

Wen Yan arched her neck, a few tears seeping from the corners of her eyes. The S-class Omega’s rose pheromones were injected into her heavily scarred scent gland.

Xu Ruozhou bit deeply, using her less-sharp teeth to slowly pierce the skin that was almost transparently thin.

The Omega’s pheromones were naturally repelled by the Alpha’s gland. Even after injection, they would soon be expelled by the resistant Alpha’s pheromones.

Xu Ruozhou lowered her eyelashes, biting down harder.

Deeper, a little deeper.

There would surely be some mark left behind.

The doctor applied the ointment to the Alpha’s bite mark, noticing the unhealed, bruised needle holes. She frowned slightly.

Xu Ruozhou caught the doctor’s expression, her tone anxious. “How is the situation? Is it serious?”

“It’s not very serious.” The doctor shook her head. “Omegas cannot leave pheromones in an Alpha’s body. The bite mark is only temporary and not a major issue, but…”

Xu Ruozhou prompted, “But what?”

The doctor frowned deeply. “Has she recently been injected with any medication that has side effects?”

“The wound healing speed is too slow.”

“Even though she is an Alpha, whose gland’s self-healing ability is naturally weaker than an Omega’s, it shouldn’t be this slow…”

Even after applying medication to promote gland wound healing, it was clearly visible that blood beads were still seeping out, and the gland repair was extremely sluggish.

Xu Ruozhou looked at Wen Yan, her tone worried. “Wen Yan, you haven’t been injected with any medication other than the inhibitor, right?”

“N-no…”

Wen Yan was startled, suddenly remembering the scene in the bedroom.

When Lin Xi injected her with the medication, she had her back to the other person and hadn’t clearly seen what Lin Xi was holding.

There was indeed a plot point in the original book where Lin Xi poisoned her.

The slow-acting poison that leads to chronic death was put into the milk the original host drank daily. Wen Yan had secretly sent her milk to a lab for testing, and the milk she drank was fine.

She thought Lin Xi had been moved by her kindness and had let go of her hatred.

Did the plot still happen?

Wen Yan’s face was solemn.

After a long silence, she softly said, “No.”

The Beta doctor nodded. “Then it should be a personal physical issue. Your healing ability is naturally poorer than other Alphas. It might also be related to your pheromone grade.”

“I’ll prescribe you a few tubes of ointment. Apply them regularly, and pay attention to your diet. During rut periods, try to use inhibitors with smaller needles.”

The doctor’s gaze landed on the Omega’s face. Seeing the worry in her eyes, her tone softened slightly.

“Of course, it would be better if a family member could release pheromones to soothe the Alpha during the rut.”

“Try not to do strange things to the Alpha’s scent gland.”

Xu Ruozhou: …

Wen Yan: …

Wen Yan’s face was completely red with embarrassment. She shyly grabbed the small tube of ointment and quickly scurried out of the consultation room.

After the Alpha left, Xu Ruozhou, with red ears, nodded slightly to the doctor.

The Beta doctor subtly nodded back.

On the way home, Xu Ruozhou clearly sensed Wen Yan’s low mood. She struggled internally for a long time before finally giving in and speaking.

“Are you still angry?”

Wen Yan looked up, her black eyes meeting hers. “Wife, what are you talking about?”

Xu Ruozhou pursed her lips. Seeing her dejected look, she thought Wen Yan was still sulking about the marking incident.

“If you don’t like it, I won’t do it again.”

“Huh?” Wen Yan was momentarily stunned, then finally realized. “Oh, wife, you mean that thing.”

“It’s fine, wife. I don’t mind…”

Before she could finish, Xu Ruozhou took the prenuptial agreement from Wen Yan’s arms.

Under the Alpha’s astonished gaze, the Omega’s slender fingers tore the prenuptial agreement in half.

Wen Yan’s eyes widened.

No way, the prenuptial agreement is just gone?

Then how is Xu Ruozhou going to take away the Wen family shares when we divorce???

Seeing the Alpha’s shocked expression, Xu Ruozhou gently said, “Let’s start getting to know each other from now on.”

“I will treat you as a brand new person, to understand and become familiar with.”

What does that mean? Were all my efforts wasted?

Wen Yan didn’t grasp the hidden meaning in Xu Ruozhou’s words.

With the disappearance of the prenuptial agreement, her mood sank further.

The plot, through her efforts, had gradually deviated from its original path.

But in places she couldn’t see, there seemed to be an invisible hand constantly trying to bring the plot back to its original course.

She had tried her best.

She not only stayed away from the fake daughter but also tried to be good to Lin Xi and everyone around her.

But Lin Xi still poisoned her, just like in the original book’s plot.

Everything was converging toward the original plot, just in a different manner.

Wen Yan picked up the torn prenuptial agreement, mechanically patting the dust off it with her palm.

Xu Ruozhou frowned slightly, looking at her in confusion. “Wen Yan?”

“Are you listening to me?”

If the events in the original book were destined to happen.

Even without this prenuptial agreement, the female lead would still find another way to take the Wen family’s shares, right?

Then what about her?

Was she destined to face that ending?

Wen Yan looked at Xu Ruozhou and saw clear concern in those reddish-brown eyes.

Perhaps this time Xu Ruozhou wouldn’t instruct Lin Xi to break her legs.

But what about others?

“Wen Yan, are you listening?”

Wen Yan smiled bitterly. “Wife, I’m listening.”

“It’s good that you are.” The Omega pursed her lips. “I’m very sorry. I shouldn’t have misunderstood you before.”

“I want to make amends. Do you have any wishes? As long as they are not too excessive, I can help you fulfill them.”

It was Xu Ruozhou’s first time coaxing someone. She spoke haltingly, and her ears were burning hot.

Wen Yan paused, turned around, and looked down at the Omega speaking to her.

The Omega’s ears were dusted with a light pink, making her look like a moist and juicy peach, exuding an inviting scent and sheen.

Wen Yan stared at those reddish-brown eyes, which were slightly evasive due to shyness. Her expression was heavy.

She had a secret she had never told anyone.

She genuinely loved this novel, otherwise, she wouldn’t have listened to it in her spare time, even on vacation in a hotel.

In all her fantasies, Xu Ruozhou was the kind of person she most wanted to be.

Decisive, fierce in love and hate.

No matter what kind of low point she was in, she could grit her teeth and climb back up, piercing the enemy’s heart with a sharp sword.

The resilient rose, nurtured in barren soil, could withstand the wind and rain.

She couldn’t do any of those things. She was a failure who only compromised when faced with a pre-determined fate, but—

“I actually do have one wish that I’d like to ask you to help me fulfill.”

Xu Ruozhou slowly looked up, facing the sunlight. “What is it?”

Wen Yan had her back to the sun, her shadow indistinct.

Her smile was bright, without a hint of gloom. Her earlier low mood seemed like a mere illusion. No speck of dust had ever settled upon her.

“I hope you can get everything that rightfully belongs to you, without having to pay the price of pain.”

But.

She could use her fleeting life to ensure that her rose would never wither.
