Transmigrated as the Vampire Alpha of the Omega Heroine - Chapter 25

Like a drowning person clutching at a lifebuoy, Jiang Nian felt someone grab the loose hem of her school uniform. The alpha struggled to move her restrained body, reaching out to grasp her own lifeline.

Exhausted from the relentless pain, the tension in her nerves eased slightly at Jiang Nian’s words. Still gripping Jiang Nian’s sleeve, she soon drifted back into unconsciousness.

Expert Ji stood nearby, watching this fierce omega gently stroke Gu Li’s hair. Unable to suppress his curiosity, he approached Jiang Nian with a pen and notepad, ready to record her response.

“How did you do it?” he asked.

How could you wake Gu Li so effortlessly?

What miraculous method do you possess, one that years of my research have failed to uncover?

Jiang Nian paused her caressing, fingers threading through Gu Li’s soft hair, brushing against her scalp. Gu Wei, equally curious, watched her intently from the side.

“I don’t know either. I just acted on impulse, following my own assumptions,” Jiang Nian replied, her eyes brightening with amusement.

And that was precisely why Gu Li’s obedient demeanor had been so endearing.

Skeptical, Expert Ji collected samples of their pheromones for analysis, determined to find a scientific explanation. Meanwhile, Gu Wei sat nearby, observing. Jiang Nian’s sleeve remained tightly clutched, impossible to free, so she simply propped a pillow behind her and settled at the head of the bed, keeping watch over the sleeping Gu Li.

“So contradictory,” Gu Wei murmured with an inexplicable chuckle.

Jiang Nian glanced up at her.

Their gazes met in the air, a silent exchange that seemed to say everything and nothing at all.

Gu Li’s rut lasted two more days. With the blood bags depleted from the previous incident, Jiang Nian resorted to feeding her with her own fingers. When Gu Li refused to bite, Jiang Nian bit herself first before offering her blood, even distracting her with math problems mid-process.

Neither had asked for leave, skipping school for days. Their homeroom teacher called both the Jiang and Gu households, eventually sending Mu Lan to deliver Jiang Nian’s overdue assignments.

Gu Li was ill, but Jiang Nian wasn’t, she had no excuse to avoid homework.

Trapped between tending to her little vampire and miserably catching up on schoolwork, Jiang Nian took mischievous delight in rousing the alpha with math problems whenever the blood eased her pain. Gu Li drank slowly, cautiously watching the omega beside her. Jiang Nian’s voice anchored her, preventing her from sinking into ravenous desire. The moment the pain faded, she obediently released Jiang Nian’s finger.

“No more,” Gu Li said, nudging away Jiang Nian’s hand with her nose, swallowing back saliva and the hunger in her eyes.

What kind of well-trained dog tamed itself so willingly?

This Gu Li was no monster. Jiang Nian grinned around the pen in her mouth, gazing at her fondly. Expert Ji’s earlier words still echoed in her ears.

“It must be due to high pheromone compatibility. You marked her, so Gu Li responds to your voice. Although you hadn’t differentiated during your first encounter, your menstrual cycle would still have released trace pheromones. Yes, that’s it.” Expert Ji scratched his head while reviewing the test results, looking troubled. “This situation is truly bizarre. Could it really be the power of love? But I heard it was only your second meeting when Gu Li first bit you.”

Setting these thoughts aside, he handed Jiang Nian several medications. “These are the dependency-breaking drugs we’ve been using. Gu Li’s physical condition will gradually improve, but her blood dependency won’t diminish with recovery. Overcoming this will require her own willpower combined with medication. Previously, we couldn’t ensure she’d remain conscious during her rut. Now that you can wake her, we can start the treatment earlier. You must teach her to control her desires and stay conscious to truly rise above instinct.”

Tame her wild nature. Once she can control herself under any circumstances, she’ll no longer see herself as a monster.

Jiang Nian picked up the prepared medicine to feed Gu Li. Seeing her obedient demeanor, she unconsciously stroked Gu Li’s head. “So well-behaved.”

After swallowing the medicine, Gu Li lay in bed restraining herself for a while before noticing Jiang Nian solving test questions. Unable to resist, she murmured, “The answer should be C. You missed an auxiliary line when solving it.”

Of course, a math prodigy who competes in Olympiads could mentally calculate answers while ill, just by listening to Jiang Nian read the problems, and still point out her mistakes.

Both deliberately avoided addressing their conversation before Jiang Nian’s omega differentiation. As Gu Li’s rut ended, so did Jiang Nian’s heat. Though only a week had passed, so much had happened that returning to school felt like entering another lifetime.

Back at school, Gu Li busied herself catching up on math competition preparations while Jiang Nian focused on keeping pace with her mentor. Both made thorough preparations for their upcoming challenges with unspoken understanding.

Only former romance advisor Mu Lan noticed the changed dynamic between them. Though their routines remained unchanged, Jiang Nian still joined her for art classes after school while Gu Li religiously attended math competition tutoring, the two would now exchange prolonged glances before parting without farewells.

Their wordless communication was incredibly cool.

It carried a strange wuxia drama vibe, as if they’d made some secret pact.

Moreover, Jiang Nian had suddenly stopped eagerly sharing her romantic musings or rushing to confess.

This left Mu Lan unable to share the advanced romance tips she’d specially learned from her brother.

He wanted to ask if something was happening in this romance drama behind his back, but Jiang Nian’s desperate absorption of the teacher’s knowledge and her rapidly improving skills stifled his words. Looking at the sketches and assignments Jiang Nian submitted daily, he deeply felt that if he didn’t work harder, their mentor’s disappointed gaze would become even more pronounced.

Time passed, one month, then two until Gu Li was successfully selected by the school to participate in a math competition, until Jiang Nian’s weak points were steadily strengthened and earned their mentor’s praise. The final exams of the first semester of their second year were fast approaching.

Jiang Nian kept track of the time and didn’t even give Gu Li a chance to hesitate. She cut straight to the point: “Go ask the teacher for leave early. I need you to help me review the key points at your place.”

On the surface, it sounded like she wanted Gu Li to tutor her privately to boost her exam ranking, but both of them knew the truth another two months had passed, and Gu Li’s rut was about to hit again. Jiang Nian intended to stay with her through it.

The once gloomy isolation room had even been repurposed by the two as a study space for exam prep. Jiang Nian had coaxed her grandmother into believing she was staying at Gu Li’s place to cram for finals, only receiving a warning not to be too unruly as a guest before getting permission. With her head buried in the math practice tests Gu Li had prepared, she genuinely looked like a diligent student seeking private tutoring.

The private tutor, estimating that her rut was imminent, dutifully restrained herself first. Sitting across the large desk, she watched Jiang Nian frown at a difficult problem she had written, rereading the conditions over and over, and couldn’t help but smile.

The familiar pain surged once more. Gu Li sat obediently in place, listening to Jiang Nian’s murmurs as she worked through the problem. The sweet scent reached her, and her fangs slowly lengthened. The vampire alpha’s voice turned hoarse as she called out to the little kitten, “Nian Nian, help me.”

She had to try give herself a chance, give herself and Jiang Nian a chance. Jiang Nian had taken so many steps toward her; there was no reason for her to keep running away.

The little kitten came quickly, offering herself naturally, even complaining that Gu Li’s rut had terrible timing just as she’d gotten an idea, it was interrupted. Gu Li kept reminding herself amidst the kitten’s voice.

Stay clear-headed. Stay in control.

Her tongue carefully touched the small wound she had bitten into Jiang Nian’s fingertip, letting the blood flow into her mouth. The milky tea-flavored blood slowly eased the pain until the last trace of agony faded. Then, she heard Jiang Nian’s voice beside her ear.

“I really can’t figure this one out, Teacher Gu.”

Teacher Gu retracted her fangs, her confident expression returning. She obediently accepted the white pill the kitten fed her, unlocked the restraints binding her, and stood up slowly to stretch before naturally taking the kitten’s test paper.

“It’s fine. I’ll explain it to you.”

Gu Wei and the specialist Ji waited outside the isolation room, the soundproofing removed so they could listen for any disturbances. They were prepared to rush in at the first sign of trouble, but after nearly seven or eight hours, there had only been faint noises from inside. This treatment was specifically designed to test whether Gu Li could restrain her ** with just the two of them present, so they obediently remained outside.

“Should we go in and check?” Specialist Ji asked Gu Wei beside her.

Just then, the door opened. The alpha, physically fine except for some leaked pheromones, apologized, “Mom, could you get us some food? We’re getting a bit hungry.”

Looking at her seemingly normal daughter, Gu Wei couldn’t help but feel her nose sting with emotion. “Of course.”

Gu Li stepped forward and gently wiped away Gu Wei’s tears with her hand, offering a belated apology. “I’m sorry.”
