The moment when Lola hugged Caesar, she couldn't imagine the kind of treatment she would receive—her fever period arrived earlier than she expected. As the daughter of a significant criminal, she lived in a small house inside the Prime Minister's residence.
She was prohibited from leaving unless there was a need for publicity or the newly appointed Prime Minister wanted to show his kindness, allowing Lola to take some happy photos before being locked back in the yard.
Escape was even more impossible as her ankle was forcibly fixed with a positioning chip. Once she went beyond the designated range, the chip would sound an alarm and release an electric current strong enough to make Lola unconscious.
Three years ago, Lola learned from her teacher how every Omega should handle their first heat after adulthood - by taking suppressant pills to cover up the scent of their pheromones and staying away from Alphas, especially those in their sensitive period. During her heat period, Lola's physical strength significantly decreased without suppressants. Hormones caused her body to release many pheromones that could attract Alphas while also causing subtle changes in her physique. Her skin became smoother and more radiant than usual, her hair and eyes brighter and glossy, and her lips plumper. However, she also lost some physical and mental energy and suffered from the harmful effects of increased hormones. For example, at the moment, Lola stood on her tiptoes with trembling hands, holding the gun the silver-haired man in front of her had put on her. He wore black gloves and a dark military uniform, and the golden badge on his chest shone with a dull metallic luster. The edge of the badge had just cut Lola's finger, and the coldness and pain were like a shot of ice-cold liquor. The tall man made it impossible for Lola to touch his cheek. She held the cold gun and pleaded in a trembling voice, "Please help me." The silver-haired man asked, "Are you a staff member here?" As expected, he was very cautious. Lola had stuck to his uniform. Her clothes were loose and soft. The white shirt she had just changed into seemed like the wind could easily tear it. Sticking to the cold uniform, Lola smelled the strong scent emanating from him. The Alpha's pheromones were aggressive, like whiskey on the rocks, the coldness on the blade, and the snow plain under the moonlight.These mature scents blended, making Lola want to hug him uncontrollably, matching the mutual attraction between pheromones, strong enough to override human reason.
The jasmine scent on her body also tempted the man. Lola was uncertain if he was also experiencing the same attraction. At least he didn't put the gun in her mouth or pull the trigger without hesitation. When she stretched out her hand to hug him from behind, her cheek pressing against his stiff military uniform, Lora heard the silver-haired man uncontrollably let out a suppressed low pant from his throat. He ordered in a near-grinding-tooth manner, "Let go." Lola didn't let go. She pushed her hair to one side, the brand on her cheek and ear like a flickering little flame. The white neck and the brand indicating her lowly status appeared in front of the other person simultaneously. She tightly held the gun with her knuckles, and her bones were intertwined, her voice low. Lola pleaded with the other person: "Please, even if it's just a temporary mark... please save me." Her vision had been blurred, and she could only see the other person's silver hair and violet-like eyes. Enough. Lola closed her eyes. She could hear the man's breathing. She knew what an uncontrollable Alpha could do and had already prepared herself for it. The scent of pheromones intensified, and Lola kissed the military uniform with the other person's body temperature. The smell had a subtle, soothing effect, but Lola couldn't tell if her behavior was instinctive. The other person's voice was full of disgust: "Crafty Asti people..." Saying that he still didn't pull the trigger, not shooting this despicable person who had severely stained him. The hand-wearing black gloves violently tore apart the pure white clothes, and the mature male's scent was too intense. Lola could feel the fear she had physiologically produced, and every cell in her body was screaming to run away from this man who might be able to kill her directly. Lola used her last bit of reason to beg him: "Please don't kill me, okay? You can do whatever you want. I want to continue living..." The man didn't say anything, and the pheromones made him restless. He roughly picked up Lola, lowered his head, and fiercely bit her neck. The sharp teeth pierced the skin and penetrated the glands, and Lola covered her mouth, her eyes wide open in pain. The other person was forcibly marking her temporarily. The pain of being temporarily kept was heavier than Lola had imagined, and she whimpered. The other person seemed not to know how to treat a lady or perhaps was indifferent to showing tenderness to an Asti person and carried her to a rock. The last scene Lola remembered before losing consciousness was the other person's silver hair and the pale moon. ... Lola woke up feeling uncomfortable. She was strictly controlled, wearing a pure white shirt, and the electronic chip shackles on her ankles remained there. Lola tried to move her ankles, but the intense discomfort made her take a deep breath. It could have been better. The feeling of being forcibly marked for the first time was not good, especially since the other person had muscular physical fitness and mental strength and was in a sensitive period. Lola found that she didn't have much power now. Although she now bears a temporary mark and no longer emits excessive pheromones, yesterday's nightmare left Lora feeling utterly drained of energy. Struggling to sit up, she wonders if she should be grateful that the man from last night did not leave a permanent mark on her. Pale and with dried blood on her neck, Lola sits on the edge of her bed, barely able to muster the energy to climb into it the night before. The aftermath of her experience is worse than she had imagined. At this point, Lora can only recall the man's silver hair and violet eyes, which are beginning to fade. She cannot remember how she returned to her room and changed into fresh clothing. Exhausted, Lola is unsure how much time she has left to rest. She needs to remember where she tossed her alarm clock. Her thoughts are interrupted as sunlight floods the room through the pushed-open door. Eugenie stands in the doorway, her golden hair shimmering, her brown eyes reflecting the battered and bruised Lora on the ground. In a cold, robotic tone, Eugenie says, "Lola, I suspect you of leaking confidential files. Please cooperate with our investigation."Lola only found out that Emilia had come to find her after she finished her class.She threw a whole piece of chocolate into her mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed hard: "Where is she?""She went to the back mountain with Instructor Angus."Lola drank a whole cup of hot cocoa and ate two more pieces of chocolate. She checked her schedule. There were no classes today, she could rest now.But, by next week, Lola has to leave here to continue her studies as a student.What an unfortunate event.Yes, Lola still needs to receive a university education now. She passed the written exam smoothly and is now a student at a certain university in the empire.However, due to her special status, she doesn't have to live in a dormitory. She only needs to go there when she has classes.It's a holiday now. After the holiday is over, Lola has to leave here temporarily and focus on studying at school.Also, she needs to receive he
Besides blood, there were also bone marrow, semen... oh, the latter was not a necessity.Caesar's identity was special, and he naturally knew what this meant. To some extent, the permanent marking was actually restraining the omega, but Caesar made the same promise to her.He shared blood and life with her.The nightingale that grew up in the dark eventually perched on a large tree.The tree provided its sap for her nourishment.......After Lola successfully enrolled in school, Caesar's mood did not improve.For some reasons, Emilia was ahead of Lola in grade, so she couldn't take care of Lola all the time. And Lola's physique was such that it was best not to bleed...Unfortunately, the school Lola attended was a mixed one. Although she chose politics as her major, there were many alphas who would go to the battlefield in the future.The school had strict security, but privately, Caesar would still send Salleri 's guard
Emilia took two minutes to understand the meaning in Angus' words. When realization dawned, she pressed her hand, covered in wolf fur, to Angus' face."You're dreaming," Emilia said. "I won't let you permanently mark me! You filthy creature."The young miss felt her dignity was severely challenged - she would rather have the wolf pack get used to her scent...she would rather reluctantly pet these frenzied carnivores than be permanently marked by him.For an omega, that meant eternal commitment.Angus sighed, "Very well then."He lowered his eyes slightly. In his field of vision, Emilia was still angrily touching the wolf pack, her hair and chest heaving with agitated breaths. Emilia didn't like the beastly smells on her. She asked Angus, "Is there another way?"She said, "Anything except a permanent mark...I'll do."Angus looked conflicted. "Yes, miss. But that may still offend you.""Nothing's more offensiv
For Emilia, what happened after wakening was like an uncontrolled, bittersweet nightmare.The source of the nightmare was Angus, kneeling on one knee at her feet, wiping her feet with a soft cloth.The liquid on her feet had been carefully wiped clean by Angus. The room was filled with the scent of roasted coffee beans. Emilia clenched her hands tightly on the silk sheets, staring at Angus. He was still alive.Not just alive, he was well and present before her as an enemy, silently bent over and wiping, just like before.The difference was Emilia. She raised her foot slightly, trying to kick Angus's shoulder, but the pain made her gasp and ask him, "How dare you?"How dare you deceive me? You pledged loyalty to me.I thought you were dead. I sent many people out to find you. I wanted to avenge you.Angus lifted his face, gripping Emilia's foot, looking straight into her eyes. He said nothing. After a moment, he leaned to the side and lightly kissed the top of Emilia's foot.Enraged, E
The confessional was dark and damp, and there seemed to be a faint gloomy scent floating in the air. The choir's prayers were fading away in the distance, and the temperature had not yet receded. Emilia let down her skirt to cover her sweat.Emilia asked, "Do you know what you are doing?"Emilia had her back to Angus, and she could only see Angus's face in the dim shadow of the pillar. He lowered his eyes slowly, "I know that I cannot walk with you in the light, but you cannot take away my right to love you."Emilia turned around, holding the silk handkerchief that she had used to wipe her sweat. She was somewhat annoyed, "Angus!"Angus did not dodge or avoid. He met her gaze. Emilia raised her hand, and gritted her teeth, "You still have one more chance to correct yourself."Angus said, "I promise my loyalty and love to you. If you think loving you needs to be punished, I have no complaints."Emilia was so upset by his words that she wanted to slap him, but her hand hesitated in the
Emilia noticed Angus' covert actions for the second time at the cusp of spring and summer.For a long stretch of time, Emilia and Angus maintained this secret relationship, hidden from others.As the relationship with the Asti people became increasingly strained and terror attacks were intermittent, the Duke of Salleri was increasingly busy and rarely at home. The daily routine of Lady Salleri was composed of eating, sleeping, reading, and urging Caesar — she hoped that Caesar would return soon and find a suitable omega.In comparison, the Salleri clan placed more emphasis on familial relations.No one paid particular attention to Emilia, nor would they believe that Emilia would have any relations with an Asti person.On horseback, in a small cabin, amid forest flowers, Emilia savored the joy of secret rendezvous with her lover — she wanted to refer to him as a lover, a term that seemed too intimate, but she couldn't find any other word that suited him better.In the past six months,
Winter came, particularly early this year.Angus didn't have much feeling for winter. In the Asti isolation zone, there was no equipped heating system. The lowest temperature was not more than minus ten degrees, and most people could keep warm by relying on fireplaces or self-installed heating pipes.Further north, when the temperature drops to minus twenty or even thirty degrees, the harsh weather and snow become extremely lethal.Every year when the snow melts, many elderly people pass away.And Emilia likes snow. The ancestors of the Salleri estate originally lived in the far and cold north, close to the Arctic. The cold gave them high cheekbones, a more three-dimensional appearance, skin as pure as snow, and hair as silver as moonlight.Once, the Salleri family was called the King in the Snow. Later, as time went by, the nickname changed, becoming the Grim Reaper in the Ice and Snow, the Devil.The entire family has the trait of pride, and Emilia is no exception. They also have an
Emilia was not sure if Angus dared to continue to deceive her.After all, in Emilia's memory, Angus had never lied to her, except for the exception just now, but Emilia couldn't rule out that it was her own stubbornness that caused it.Emilia slowly gathered a breath in her chest, she stared at Angus's face, hesitated for a few minutes, and then Angus leaned in.He seemed to no longer intend to persuade her with words, it was still a war of tongues, but it was no longer about language and argument but about flexible and exquisite skills.Emilia grabbed Angus's hair hard, she warned him: "This is your last chance, if you can't satisfy me, I will kill you."She emphasized the word 'kill'.There's no way, alpha and omega are naturally endowed with certain differences in body size and strength, and Angus's fighting skills are indeed more proficient than Emilia's. Excluding the master-servant relationship, if they really had to fight, Emilia was no match for Angus.But Emilia can suppress
Angus had little memory of his foster parents; they were a couple as ordinary as they come, living in the isolation zone like all other Asti people, cut off from the outside world. Most Asti people lived this way, many never left the isolation zone until their death. In dark, cramped houses, with narrow spaces between buildings that barely let sunlight in, roaches, ants, and rats were frequent visitors. The area's basic sanitary conditions were poor and neglected, relying on conscientious people to organize free volunteer groups. Whenever a flu outbreak occurred, it was devastating. Every autumn and winter, people died from the flu. It seemed as if the world's suffering enjoyed preying on the poor. The "medicine" and food in the isolation zone had to be transported from the outside, but those in charge of the isolation zone didn't take the needs of these pitiful people to heart. Even the people caring for livestock on the farms were more diligent than these officials. The "medicine"
