Which Fierce Alpha Disguises as a Beta to Abduct a Wife? - Chapter 34

“Jiang Huaiyan,” Zhou Yunqiu called out to him, sobbing.

“I’m here.” Jiang Huaiyan wiped the cold sweat from the boy’s face and pressed a kiss to the corner of his forehead. “Qiuqiu, how about I find an Alpha for you, alright?”

“No.” Zhou Yunqiu shook his head. “I don’t want an Alpha.”

“Your glands need it, otherwise you’ll be in a lot of pain.”

Zhou Yunqiu continued to shake his head, tears falling uncontrollably. “Just kiss me. If you kiss me, it won’t hurt anymore.”

Heartbroken, Jiang Huaiyan kissed his lips, prying open his teeth to give him a passionate, deep kiss.

Zhou Yunqiu smiled as he clung to the man’s shoulders, panting. “I feel much better. Don’t worry.”

How could Jiang Huaiyan not worry? He could clearly see the boy’s body starting to tremble from the pain. Zhou Yunqiu was only trying to comfort him.

He made a silent decision and stepped out to call Duan Mingxu. It was currently two o’clock in the morning.

Duan Mingxu sounded a bit dazed when he answered. “What’s wrong?”

“Get to the hospital immediately,” Jiang Huaiyan said urgently.

“What happened? Did something go wrong?”

“Zhou Yunqiu needs Alpha pheromones. Get over here, fast.”

“Wait, if he needs pheromones, just give him yours. Aren’t you—” Duan Mingxu stopped mid-sentence as he remembered that Jiang Huaiyan was currently maintaining the identity of a Beta. He cursed under his breath and immediately agreed. “I’m on my way.”

“Hurry! Don’t delay a single second!”

Duan Mingxu: “No matter how fast I go, it’ll still take half an hour to get there.”

“If you aren’t here in half an hour, you’re finished.” Jiang Huaiyan hung up and returned to the ward.

Zhou Yunqiu was curled up in a ball at the corner of the bed, shivering. Jiang Huaiyan desperately wanted to release his own pheromones to soothe him, but he feared exposing his identity and losing the chance to remain by the boy’s side. He could only stand guard by the bed, enduring the torment alongside Zhou Yunqiu.

“Jiang Huaiyan, talk to me.” Zhou Yunqiu turned on his side, his eyes open as he looked at him.

He sat by the bed, looking back at him tenderly. “What do you want to talk about?”

“Tell me about yourself. I don’t know anything about you.” Zhou Yunqiu blinked his reddened eyes and continued in a small voice, “Where did you go to university? Besides Duan Mingxu, do you have other friends?”

“I went to university abroad. Besides him, I have many other friends.”

“Will you take me to meet them in the future?”

“I will. Once you’re better, I’ll find an opportunity to take you to meet them.”

Zhou Yunqiu held out his pinky finger toward Jiang Huaiyan, shaking it childishly. “Pinky swear. You aren’t allowed to lie to me.”

Looking at this youthful gesture, the ache in Jiang Huaiyan’s heart only intensified. Such a pure Omega was undergoing such immense pain. If only he had been by his side during that kidnapping back then… He would never have allowed Zhou Yunqiu to be so severely injured.

“Jiang Huaiyan,” Zhou Yunqiu called softly.

“I’m here.”

“Don’t ever leave me.”

“Alright.”

The two of them exchanged words back and forth until, half an hour later, Duan Mingxu pushed open the door and walked in.

“Hurry up. Use your pheromones to soothe him,” Jiang Huaiyan urged anxiously.

Hearing this, Zhou Yunqiu suddenly sat up, covering the gland on the back of his neck with full alertness. “No! I don’t want pheromones.”

“Qiuqiu, be good. Alpha pheromones can act as a painkiller.”

“I don’t want them!” Zhou Yunqiu’s hard-won control over his tears broke, and they began to pour down again. He retreated backward in resistance, his pale lips bloodless. The trembling corners of his mouth betrayed his panic and fear.

“Qiuqiu, don’t move around. Your leg is still injured.” Jiang Huaiyan climbed onto the bed and pulled the boy into his embrace, preventing him from aggravating the unhealed wound on his leg.

“No, Jiang Huaiyan, I don’t want pheromones!” Zhou Yunqiu was so terrified that his entire body was shaking in Jiang Huaiyan’s arms. That look of dread made Jiang Huaiyan’s heart ache terribly.

“Why don’t you want them? You’re in so much pain right now.”

“I’ll get addicted. I don’t want to be addicted.” If he accepted an Alpha’s pheromones this time, his gland would become even more greedy next time, requiring even more pheromones to be soothed.

He didn’t want an Alpha; he only wanted Jiang Huaiyan. If only Jiang Huaiyan were an Alpha, how wonderful would that be? But he was a Beta. And since Jiang Huaiyan was a Beta, Zhou Yunqiu could not accept another Alpha’s pheromones even more.

“You won’t. We’ll only use a little bit.”

Zhou Yunqiu continued to shake his head, refusing to agree no matter what.

Duan Mingxu let out a helpless yawn. “Do you guys want the pheromones or not? I’m sleepy.”

“Yes.” “No!”

Zhou Yunqiu glared at Jiang Huaiyan in desperation. “If you give me Alpha pheromones, I’ll never speak to you again.”

“Qiuqiu…”

“I can endure it. It doesn’t hurt that much anymore, I’m really not lying to you.” As he spoke, Zhou Yunqiu held out his hand. His fingers were indeed no longer trembling, and no new cold sweat was appearing on his forehead. The most painful moment had already been endured through sheer willpower.

“Make him leave. I don’t want to see him.” Zhou Yunqiu told Jiang Huaiyan to send him away. If Duan Mingxu stayed, there was a chance he might use pheromones on him. As an Omega, he would have no way to resist.

“Alright, I’ll make him leave.” Jiang Huaiyan couldn’t win against Zhou Yunqiu’s stubbornness and could only agree to prevent Duan Mingxu from scaring him further.

“Then I’m off.” Duan Mingxu rolled his eyes and left. There went his beautiful dream.

After he left, Zhou Yunqiu finally recovered from the wave of terror, leaning weakly against Jiang Huaiyan’s shoulder. Jiang Huaiyan held him tightly, rubbing his slender, white fingers. Perhaps because the shock had been so great, now that his nerves were finally relaxing, exhaustion quickly swept over him.

Zhou Yunqiu unknowingly fell asleep in Jiang Huaiyan’s arms. Looking at his somewhat unsettled sleeping face, Jiang Huaiyan carefully released a small amount of his own Alpha pheromones.

The moment the Omega’s gland received the Alpha pheromones, it instantly settled down, no longer thrashing about within the boy’s body. Jiang Huaiyan breathed a slight sigh of relief and released more pheromones to soothe him. This time, there was more than ever before, the scent so thick it filled the entire room.

Zhou Yunqiu’s brow smoothed out, and even the injury on his leg seemed to show signs of accelerated healing. Jiang Huaiyan gently stroked his head, his heart finally settling back into place.

Suddenly, a knock sounded at the door, accompanied by an unfamiliar voice:

“That’s the scent of an Alpha’s pheromones!”
