Wife, Are You an Alpha Pretending to be an Omega? - Chapter 15
Needless to say, the quality of the room doors in a high-end hotel was top-notch. Yet at this moment, Wei Xia’s eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like a raging beast. Even though he had a slender build, there was no longer any trace of Omega frailty left in him.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Loud, heavy thuds echoed one after another, highlighting the terrifying force of the person kicking the door.
Finally, the room door was kicked open.
Wei Xia rushed into the room, but he did not see Xie Jingyu. Instead, an Omega was slumped weakly by the bathroom door, and that pheromone scent, which was so thick it was suffocating, was emanating from his body.
His consciousness had already drifted away, a clear state of an Omega in heat who had not received an Alpha’s mark. Seeing someone enter, he lunged toward Wei Xia like crazy, muttering from his mouth:
“Mark me, please… mark me.”
Wei Xia bypassed the person, catching a whiff of a bitter jasmine fragrance first.
It was the only, completely distinct scent amidst the overwhelming, suffocating smell of peaches.
His breath caught in his throat, and he immediately threw his weight against the bathroom door.
The bathroom door was much easier to open than the main room door. It turned out it had only stayed closed because the Omega in heat lacked the strength to open it. After Wei Xia slammed against it twice, the door creaked open with a groan.
Wei Xia saw Xie Jingyu collapsed inside the bathroom.
The man’s clothes were in disarray, and he had completely lost consciousness.
His face was flushed, his collar was messy, and his entire neck was covered in countless bloody scratches he had clawed himself. However, his suppressor patch showed absolutely no signs of damage. It seemed the man had exhausted all his strength, retaining his sanity until the very end, absolutely refusing to expose his weakness under such circumstances.
Wei Xia breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was twisted into a tight knot, aching terribly for him.
Stepping forward in a couple of strides, he scooped Xie Jingyu up in a bridal carry.
Almost simultaneously, he noticed something amiss.
Jingyu’s body was burning hot, his face was flushed red like wine, and his entire body was trembling exceptionally violently.
This was not a sign of an Alpha’s susceptibility period.
At that moment, the string of sanity in Wei Xia’s mind snapped completely.
Jingyu, Jingyu is,
Before he could think further, the pheromones triggered from his own body invisibly enveloped the person in his arms. Xie Jingyu’s consciousness was awakened by this familiar scent. Pheromones from a genuine, authentic Alpha acted like an even more potent aphrodisiac, directly awakening the deepest desires of his body.
“Xiao Xia, Xiao Xia.”
The blood in Wei Xia’s entire body rushed toward a certain point.
His throat was parched to the extreme as he replied in a muffled voice, “I’m here…”
Xie Jingyu blindly found and met Wei Xia’s lips.
He was going crazy. No, he was already crazy.
The pheromones inside his body were locked away tightly by him, with no outlet to disperse, while at the same time, the air was being compressed by another set of pheromones. Just now, he had caught a hint of an even more fatal temptation, which was that familiar, enticing, madness-inducing scent of white wine.
It was Wei Xia.
He opened his eyes, and what he saw was indeed Wei Xia’s beautiful eyes, except they seemed brimming with affection, fluid like water.
Then, he heard Xiao Xia’s dry voice: “Jingyu, it’s me…”
Xie Jingyu’s voice was equally dry. Dissimilar to his usual calm restraint, his tone was now deeply stained with desire.
“Xiao Xia, mark me.”
Wei Xia said:
“Okay.”
Carrying the person in his arms, Wei Xia placed him down onto the large hotel bed. He leaned down, kissed him, and said, “Wait for me.”
Then, he turned around swiftly, lifted the Omega in the corner by the collar, walked out the door, threw him into the farthest emergency exit stairwell, and shut the fire door.
Returning to lock the room door again, and making sure the lock was not broken and could not be opened from the outside, he finally returned to his lover’s side.
Xie Jingyu’s clothes were already completely soaked through, clinging to the curves of the man’s body. His face was flushed, and his eyes, blurred with passion, looked at him, revealing an unprecedented vulnerability and pleading, as well as an unprecedented coquettishness.
He said:
“Mark me…”
Wei Xia lunged at him like a madman, using his teeth to catch a corner of the suppressor patch on the back of his neck, tearing it off completely and discarding it.
Recklessly baring the sharp fangs that had been sealed away for so long, he bit fiercely into his lover’s gland.
A burst of jasmine fragrance, parched to the point of bitterness, suddenly exploded within the room.
No matter where it tried to escape, it was immediately chased, enveloped, and dragged back by another scent of white wine.
This sharp pain felt like a timely rain after a long drought. Although it hurt intensely, it was unexpectedly liberating, thoroughly gratifying, and profound.
Xie Jingyu’s consciousness had already flown beyond the clouds.
He did not remember who he was, nor did he know where he was. He only knew that he was together with Wei Xia.
And Wei Xia was his wife.
The person he could trust.
“Jingyu… bear with it for a bit.”
The scents of white wine and parched jasmine spread out, intertwining, tangling, and blending with one another.
“Jingyu, even if I die now, it’s worth it.” This was the last sentence Xie Jingyu heard before completely losing his consciousness.
///
Even though Xie Jingyu was dragged entirely into his heat cycle, Wei Xia never dared to drop his final line of defense.
This was not a safe place.
He wrapped his lover completely in his coat, unwilling to let anyone see even a single shred of Xie Jingyu’s vulnerability. Taking advantage of the dead of night when everything was quiet, they returned home.
Xie Jingyu’s jasmine scent was completely washed over by the white wine. A scent of forced-to-ripen jasmine bloomed within the space the two occupied. It was no longer bitter, nor was it parched. The jasmine branches were washed and coaxed to ripen repeatedly by the white wine, gradually maturing, bursting with a rich, intense, and fierce fragrance.
The person was the same. The serious and ascetic side faded away, and the entire body was completely opened up, ripened into a fascinating source of attraction.
Wei Xia’s susceptibility period was about to arrive.
He carried Xie Jingyu, who had already fainted from exhaustion, back to the Xie family home.
Closing the bedroom door, he got everything properly prepared and then returned to their shared bedroom.
Even if Jingyu was not sober at the time, he was not going to let go.
Absolutely not. He would never allow this kind of thing to happen a second time.
With bloodshot pupils, Wei Xia thought to himself that he could not endure it any longer.
It was the final wave before the dam burst. He would spend the next entire dozen or so days right here with Jingyu. It was just a bit of a pity. He had decorated this room for so long, originally planning to celebrate his lover’s birthday here, but he had not even had the chance to let him look at it first.
The two plunged into a hysterical cycle.
///
Xie Jingyu could not hold out anymore.
For the past twenty-plus years, the development of his gland had been continuously interfered with by medicine, so its function was not fully intact. On that small patch of skin where the gland was located, it was now covered in deep, messy teeth marks.
There was no soft-hearted mercy, nor was there any gentle tenderness, because Wei Xia had also fallen into a frenzy.
The long-term suppression had forced him to almost forget his Alpha instincts. He was inherently an Alpha. During a susceptibility period, no Alpha would give up the prey that had entered their mouth.
Not to mention, he had been staring at this piece of meat for a very, very long time. Once his beautiful dream came true, he finally bared his sharp claws. With an absolutely dominant attitude, he tasted the person thoroughly from the inside out, turning him over and over, gnawing every inch of skin until he felt a sense of satisfied contentment before he was willing to stop.
Two days later, he finally regained consciousness. Holding the unconscious and exhausted Xie Jingyu, he fed him water and nutritional paste. Having replenished his own energy as well, he went back to attack his lover’s neck again.
Another three days passed.
Xie Jingyu had been fed too much and finally woke up.
The stinging pain on his neck was something he could barely withstand. It felt as though his neck had almost been bitten off. Wei Xia was holding him, having just fallen asleep not long ago, but he still keenly noticed the movement of the person in his arms and woke up instantly.
“Are you hungry?”
A voice heavy with unfulfilled desire sounded beside his ear, completely different from the demeanor Wei Xia usually displayed.
His face flushed red in an instant.
He had never imagined that Wei Xia was actually an Alpha.
Before he could figure out how to reply, he was turned completely over by Wei Xia, in the exact same movement as these past few days. This time, he had no choice but to look directly into those beautiful eyes.
Wei Xia’s hand gently pinched his lower jaw, dropping a kiss upon his lips.
It was just a fleeting touch like a dragonfly skimming the water. The pressure was very light, but it was filled with an undisputed meaning that brooked no denial.
“I, I…”
Wei Xia asked again in a hoarse voice, “Do you regret it, Jingyu?”
“No…” he replied subconsciously, “It’s just that I…”
I just did not expect things to turn out like this, that I am an Omega, and you are actually an Alpha.
With all sorts of feelings welling up in his heart, he was at a loss for words. But more than anything, it was a sense of rejoicing. Fortunately, you are an Alpha. Fortunately, I met you. Fortunately, we are together.
A tear slipped from Xie Jingyu’s eye, looking like a physiological tear brought on by reaching the peak of pain, yet also seeming to be driven by a mind filled with overwhelming happiness.
The tear was licked away by Wei Xia.
He was held tightly in an embrace: “Then you do not need to say it, Jingyu…”
“Jingyu, Jingyu, Jingyu…”
His name was called out over and over again.
“You have no idea…” Wei Xia’s low, hoarse voice was thick with choking tears,
“Even if I close my eyes in death now, I will die with no regrets.”
