Wife, Are You an Alpha Pretending to be an Omega? - Chapter 14
Since Shan Yun put it that way, it was difficult for Xie Jingyu to refuse any further. He instinctively loathed the fool who had caused this entire situation, so he directly instructed the chief steward to lead him to a room.
At the same time, Shan Yun’s change of clothes was delivered to the room.
Xie Jingyu’s plan was to change his clothes as quickly as possible and head home.
However, the moment he stepped into the room, he caught the scent of a strange fragrance. The aroma was faint yet striking, highly peculiar. After inhaling it for barely a minute, he felt something go terribly wrong with his body.
His gland was throbbing violently.
He raised his hand and pressed down on the gland.
Last time, he had taken the highest dosage of suppressants, which was supposed to guarantee that he would not go into heat for two months. How could he be going into heat again when less than a month had passed?
No, why were there so many unexpected accidents today?
He could not—he absolutely could not do this here!
Xie Jingyu’s mind began to turn hazy. By the time he realized that everything was amiss, his legs had completely lost their strength. Summoning his last ounce of energy, he stumbled into the bathroom, locked the door from the inside, and limped helplessly to the floor.
Outside the room door, the Omega waiter who had spilled the wine earlier was currently psyching himself up.
He looked down at his phone, where a text message burned into his eyes:
“You must get it done tonight. I have prepared everything. You know what to do, right?”
He had originally been arranged to seduce CEO Xie using his charms, but he had not expected that the man would not even spare him a glance.
If he had possessed a shred of confidence earlier, that pitiful self-assurance had now completely vanished. He was going to fail, was he not? What kind of scene would he face if he went inside now?
But there was no turning back for him. All he could do now was pray that the Alpha inside would be in a frenzied susceptibility period because of a sufficient dose of the drug!
If that were the case, even if it hurt a little more to be bitten, it would not matter.
Steeling his courage, the Omega swiped the room card against the door of the room Xie Jingyu was in.
It was already eight o’clock in the evening.
Wei Xia sat on the sofa, feeling somewhat anxious.
The scene in the room had already been fully decorated. Small colored lights twinkled, creating a warm and festive atmosphere. However, the obvious absence of the most important member caused a bizarre silence to permeate the space.
Usually, Xie Jingyu returned home by seven o’clock at the latest. Even if there was a special circumstance today, why had he not replied to any messages?
Wei Xia tightly clutched his phone in his hand, which displayed several green sent messages.
What on earth was going on?
Jingyu was the type of person who reported everything, and he would never drop out of contact for this long. Wei Xia’s intuition told him that something was wrong.
He looked once more at the clock hanging on the wall. If the minute hand reached “30” and there was still no news, he would have to make a trip out.
Ten minutes later, Wei Xia grabbed his coat and left the house without looking back, rushing toward the location shown on Xie Jingyu’s phone tracker.
Inside the hotel room on the other side.
The Omega opened the door and walked inside, but he did not see any sign of CEO Xie. He circled the hotel room once and finally, at the bathroom door, caught a faint trace of bitter-dry jasmine pheromones.
It was the exact same scent as that man’s; it was bitter and cold.
But it was too faint. With only a tiny hint of the scent leaking out, it was utterly impossible to make any judgment based on it. The Omega clearly hesitated. With such a meager amount of pheromones, it was impossible to even differentiate between an Alpha and an Omega, let alone judge whether he had entered his susceptibility period. If the other party were not in a state of frenzy at all, then he would certainly suffer a horrible fate.
He hesitated at the bathroom door for a moment, ultimately not daring to open it.
However, the aphrodisiac incense in the room was still burning.
Ten minutes, twenty minutes passed.
The little Omega was also completely triggered into his heat. He was a very sweet Omega, and his fresh, alluring peach pheromones suddenly exploded throughout the entire room, engulfing every corner in an overwhelming manner. His own limbs went weak, and he collapsed right at the bathroom door.
“CEO Xie, help me, please. I beg you.”
He lacked the strength to force the door open, but his pheromones seeped through the crack of the door, enveloping the space and attempting to assault Xie Jingyu.
Xie Jingyu was an Omega, so he would not be affected by another Omega’s pheromones. However, the rich scent of peaches was like a mask smothering his nose and mouth, crowding out the air in front of him. He detested this smell; he could only feel the air growing thinner and increasingly suffocating.
His consciousness had already become chaotic.
The suppressing patch on his neck was forcefully locking down his pheromones to keep them from leaking out, which felt excruciatingly uncomfortable. On one hand, he frantically wanted to tear it off to release himself; on the other hand, his last shred of sanity told him that he could not do this, especially not here.
Where was Xiao Xia? His phone—he had not replied to Xiao Xia’s messages for a long time. He could not stay here. The phone seemed to be on the bed.
Outside, the Omega seemed to have reached the peak of his distress, scratching at the door.
Xie Jingyu felt like he was dying.
He had been drugged, and for the first time, he was facing such a fierce, sudden heat—and completely unprepared at that.
His entire body collapsed weakly onto the floor, looking as though he had just been fished out of the water.
Pain, breakdown, helplessness; he should have had his gland surgically removed sooner.
This was his last thought before losing consciousness.
Wei Xia arrived at the hotel where the banquet was being held in a rush, but his path was blocked by the staff.
His expression was cold and sharp, yet it could not hide the anxiety in his tone at all.
“My husband is inside your establishment. I need to ensure his safety!”
“We are sorry, but this is against regulations. We cannot let you in!”
Wei Xia was held back by three or four people, making the scene look rather ugly for a moment. Just as he was preparing to force his way through, an unexpected person appeared.
Feng Cong showed up with a grin, pretending it was a chance encounter. “Oh, isn’t this Mrs. Xie? This hotel belongs to my family. What are you doing here so late at night?” He turned his head, pointed at the hotel, and suddenly laughed out loud. “Oh, it could not be that you are catching him in an affair, right?”
A shuddering coldness surged straight up his spine from the soles of his feet.
If he had still been hesitating a moment ago, he could now be absolutely certain that something had definitely happened to Jingyu.
“Please let me in,” Wei Xia said through gritted teeth.
Before ensuring Jingyu’s safety, he would not do anything extra or redundant.
Thinking that it was about enough, Feng Cong raised an eyebrow and said to the waiters blocking Wei Xia, “Let him go.”
Wei Xia rushed inside instantly. Looking at his retreating back, Feng Cong spoke up with malicious glee, “It is the sixth floor, you know! I think I just saw CEO Xie holding a sweet Omega in his arms earlier.”
Wei Xia snapped his head around and glared fiercely at Feng Cong.
The sharpness in those eyes was like a sword, piercing through Feng Cong in an instant and causing his heart to twist with instinctive alarm for a brief moment. That kind of aura was absolutely not something a delicate, dependent dodder flower would possess.
Feng Cong’s face darkened as he spoke to the person behind him: “You are sure things were taken care of over there?”
Shan Yun adjusted the glasses on his face.
“Before I came down, the entire sixth floor was filled with that Omega’s pheromones.” He paused, then continued, “That is a top-tier Omega.”
No one could resist the temptation of a top-tier Omega’s pheromones. Everything was understood without being explicitly said.
Feng Cong flashed a satisfied smile.
With a nervous heart, Wei Xia went up to the sixth floor.
Almost the moment he stepped out of the elevator doors, he was enveloped by a dense scent of peach pheromones. As he walked toward the area where the concentration of pheromones was strongest, the closer he got, the heavier the peach scent became, and the lower his heart sank.
Perhaps because the pain in his heart was too intense, not only was he unaffected by the top-tier Omega’s pheromones, but he actually rejected them from the inside out, causing waves of dry heaving.
Finally, he arrived outside the door of room 6302.
This was the source of the pheromones.
Wei Xia could not help but tremble all over. Emotion was burning away his sanity, causing the logic in his brain to completely collapse. He was terrified of what forbidden scene he might witness upon pushing the door open, such as intertwined bodies, or perhaps Jingyu’s expression deeply mired in lust.
He would go mad.
No, no, calm down! Wei Xia, calm down!
Wei Xia forced himself to sober up. The moment his sanity snapped back into place, he suddenly realized a discrepancy, the room only smelled of peach pheromones. Where was the scent of the other Alpha pheromone?
Thinking of this, Wei Xia raised his leg and violently kicked the room door open.
