The Alpha’s Hidden Marriage, Public Obsession - Chapter 66
Jiang Xue felt as though her entire body was burning, the flames growing fiercer by the second from head to toe, inside and out. The scorching heat only intensified, accompanied by an unbearable sense of emptiness and loneliness.
Her glands ached with feverish pain, pushing her to the brink of endurance. Tears spilled uncontrollably from her eyes, and even Xia Yin’s touch no longer repulsed her. Instead, she craved it.
She couldn’t refuse Xia Yin, just as no Omega could resist an Alpha’s pheromones. No matter how much she despised it in her heart, her body instinctively yearned to draw closer.
“Does it hurt?” Xia Yin lifted a strand of Jiang Xue’s hair to her lips, pressing a gentlemanly kiss to the ends. “I’m suffering too, but I can help you.”
Xia Yin’s words always carried a deceptive gentleness, fooling everyone at school including Jiang Xue. In truth, she was an outright obsessive.
Jiang Xue wanted to pull her hair back, but her body had no strength left. Even lifting her head was a struggle. Xia Yin had been suppressing her with pheromones while simultaneously stimulating her glands, leaving her utterly powerless to resist.
She couldn’t even escape.
But more than anything, Jiang Xue was terrified. She didn’t want any Alpha other than Lin Yulan to touch her. Even if it wasn’t within the bounds of their engagement, she refused.
But would Lin Yulan even know she was in trouble?
The only person who knew she had come to meet Xia Yin was Chu Yuan, but Chu Yuan had no idea why Xia Yin had summoned her. Even if she returned late, Chu Yuan would likely assume they were discussing something important never imagining it would come to this.
And even if Chu Yuan knew what Xia Yin intended to do, she didn’t know Lin Yulan. There was no way she could warn him.
What was she supposed to do?
The more Jiang Xue thought about it, the more frightened she became, until she finally broke down in tears.
Seeing this, Xia Yin reached out and gently wiped the tears from Jiang Xue’s eyes. “Xiao Xue, don’t cry. It’ll be over soon.”
The scent of pheromones in the room grew increasingly potent. At first, it was only Xia Yin’s, but gradually, under the stimulation of the Alpha’s pheromones, Jiang Xue’s Omega scent spilled out uncontrollably. Soon, the two intertwined, saturating the entire room.
For both Alpha and Omega, this was a deadly poison.
Jiang Xue trembled uncontrollably, her body pushed to the edge of collapse. Her consciousness began to blur, and her body instinctively sought out the source of comfort.
Xia Yin was also suffering, but more than that, she was elated. She lifted Jiang Xue into her arms and whispered in her ear, “Xiao Xue, it seems even the heavens are on my side. Lin Yulan won’t find you here today.”
“I’ll hate you forever!”
“That’s fine. Hatred is better than being forgotten.”
With that, Xia Yin carried Jiang Xue toward the bedroom.
She laid Jiang Xue on the bed, stroking her flushed cheeks. “Don’t worry. Whatever Lin Yulan can give you, I can too.”
But just as Xia Yin moved to undress Jiang Xue, the sound of the door being kicked open echoed from outside.
Xia Yin and Jiang Xue almost simultaneously turned their gaze toward the bedroom door.
Then, they saw Lin Yulan storm in with a terrifyingly dark expression. Without a word, she yanked Xia Yin, who was kneeling over Jiang Xue, off the bed and swung a fist straight at Xia Yin’s face.
Bang!
Xia Yin was knocked to the ground, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth. After all, Lin Yulan had grown up fighting Alphas since childhood, and even though she hadn’t trained in a while, her explosive strength was still terrifying.
“Fuck you, Xia Yin! How dare you lay a finger on my person?!” Lin Yulan grabbed Xia Yin by the collar and delivered another heavy blow.
Xia Yin didn’t fight back. Instead, after taking two punches, she laughed. “I thought you’d give up Xiao Xue for Qu Mengxin.”
Slap!
Lin Yulan struck her again, gritting her teeth as if she wanted to tear Xia Yin to pieces. “Who the hell told you I’d give up Xiao Xue? Was it that Zhao bitch or Qu Mengxin? Touch my person again, and I’ll fucking kill you!”
The crisp sound of another slap echoed through the room.
But Lin Yulan wasn’t satisfied. She stood up and started kicking instead.
This move risked hitting a critical area, so Xia Ran, who had followed them in, quickly pulled Lin Yulan away and shielded Xia Yin, pleading, “Yulan, that’s enough. If you keep going, she’ll die! I know I have no right to say this, but for the sake of our friendship, could you spare my sister?”
“Xia Ran, get out of my way!” Lin Yulan was completely out of control. “You want me to spare her? Look at what she’s doing! If I’d been even a second later, you know what would’ve happened to Jiang Xue! Move! Or I’ll beat you up too!”
Xia Ran didn’t budge. “If it’ll calm you down, go ahead.”
This time, Lin Yulan showed no mercy, slapping Xia Ran hard across the face.
Xia Ran’s cheek burned with pain, but she didn’t dodge or resist. Xia Yin was her sister, and she bore some responsibility for not stopping her.
Just as Lin Yulan raised her hand for a second slap, Jiang Xue’s pained whimper came from the bed.
Lin Yulan had no choice but to turn and check on her.
The pheromones in the room were more potent than any aphrodisiac. The moment Lin Yulan had opened the door, she’d been affected, but she’d forced herself to push through the physical urges. Now, Jiang Xue’s entire body was burning up like boiling water, completely overwhelmed by Xia Yin’s pheromones and slipping into heat. If nothing was done, things could take a dangerous turn.
Lin Yulan scooped Jiang Xue into her arms, enduring the assault of the Omega’s sweet, cloying scent. She shot a glare at Xia Yin, who was coughing up blood from the beating, and snarled, “Xia Ran, for the sake of our friendship, remember this, if I ever see your sister again, we’re done.”
With that, she carried the barely conscious Jiang Xue downstairs.
Jiang Xue, lost in discomfort, clung to Lin Yulan the whole way, rubbing against her and even biting at her collarbone, sending electric tingles through Lin Yulan’s body. The temptation to take her right then and there was almost unbearable.
Fortunately, the parking lot wasn’t far, and the elevator went straight down. In just a few minutes, Lin Yulan found her car.
She first stuffed Jiang Xue into the passenger seat and fastened the seatbelt for her.
But the moment Lin Yulan was securing the belt, Jiang Xue suddenly wrapped her arms around her, rubbing her body against her incessantly.
Lin Yulan swallowed hard, her hands freezing mid-motion.
Jiang Xue seemed to have grabbed onto a lifeline. Realizing how comforting it felt to press against Lin Yulan, she tightened her grip around her neck. “I feel so awful. Don’t go, don’t leave me, okay? Help me, please! I really can’t take it anymore, wuwuwu!”
Lin Yulan had originally planned to take Jiang Xue back to her private villa first. Besides, she wasn’t the type to take advantage of someone in distress. Right now, Jiang Xue was completely out of it, how would doing anything to her be any different from what Xia Yin had done?
But Jiang Xue was clearly suffering, her cries growing more desperate, her eyes red and brimming with scalding tears. It was impossible for Lin Yulan not to soften.
Most importantly, Jiang Xue had her arms locked around her neck, there was no way to break free!
“Please, help me, okay? I really can’t stand it, wuwuwu!”
As she pleaded, Jiang Xue began tugging at Lin Yulan’s clothes.
Thankfully, they were in an underground parking lot, and no one would come by at this hour. Otherwise, someone would’ve definitely called the cops on them.
Left with no choice, Lin Yulan pinched Jiang Xue’s chin, forcing her to look up. “Look at me. Who am I?”
Jiang Xue was so overwhelmed that her vision was blurred. Being forced to lift her head only added to her torment.
“Xiaoxue, say it. Who am I?” Lin Yulan coaxed. “If you tell me, I’ll help you.”
Hearing this, Jiang Xue struggled to open her eyes wider, squinting for a long moment before the familiar face in her hazy vision finally came into focus.
“Lin Yulan.”
“Who?”
Jiang Xue wrenched her chin free from Lin Yulan’s grip and clung to her like a koala. “You’re Lin Yulan, you’re Lin Yulan! Lin Yulan, help me, I feel so awful, my whole body is burning up!”
Still unsatisfied, Lin Yulan pressed further, “Do you like her? Do you want her?”
Jiang Xue thought this person was truly wicked. She was already suffering so much, her mind too foggy to even process such questions, yet Lin Yulan insisted on tormenting her like this.
Helpless, Jiang Xue could only nod.
But Lin Yulan wanted more. “Don’t just nod. Say it out loud.”
Jiang Xue was driven to the brink of madness, but she had no choice but to obey. “I like you, I want you.”
That was the final straw for Lin Yulan. She pulled Jiang Xue out of the passenger seat and opened the back door.
Jiang Xue eagerly reached for her clothes, but Lin Yulan preferred to keep control in her own hands, so she immediately caught Jiang Xue’s wrists.
To be honest, the back seat was a bit cramped, making it hard to move freely. Lin Yulan could only settle Jiang Xue onto her lap, facing away from her.
Pheromones exploded in the confined space of the car. In a few swift motions, Lin Yulan peeled off Jiang Xue’s top, leaving it hanging loosely on her body, barely clinging on.
Jiang Xue, unable to see Lin Yulan’s face from this position, felt unbearably insecure and protested, trying to turn around.
Lin Yulan was being deliberately difficult, refusing to give in, yet afraid of making her cry. While teasing her, he coaxed, “Wait a little longer, okay?”
Jiang Xue was no longer in control of her own body by this point. She felt like a piece of drifting duckweed, entirely at the mercy of Lin Yulan’s whims.
Gradually,
intermittent sounds of pleasure began to escape from the car, rising in rhythm with the swaying vehicle.
