prey
Zou Yuqing woke up once midway through the journey. He was curled up in the huge sack, his eyes blurred by blood, unable to open. He was in darkness. The bumpy ride and the occasional low ship whistle made him guess that he was in a car crossing a river bridge.
Before he could think any more, he fell into coma again. The stick just now avoided his vital parts, but it was enough to make him suffer from excruciating pain.
When he opened his eyes again, he was sitting in a chair, the blood on his forehead already clotted. All around him was quiet. Although it was July, the place was chilly enough to give him goosebumps. After adjusting to the darkness, he looked around and realized that this place resembled a prison, emitting the smell of rust and decay.
"woke up?"
Suddenly, a male voice boomed from the darkness. Zou Yuqing's heartbeat quickened, and he glanced nervously in that direction. A figure slowly emerged from the shadows. He tried to move, but found himself strapped to a chair. Even the slightest movement sent dull aches throughout his body. He tried to speak, but suddenly realized his mouth was taped. Unable to explain, he could only stare at the tall man whose face became increasingly clear.
He wanted to say he wasn't Zou Yuyang, that he still had his mother to take care of, that he shouldn't kill him, that he wanted to humbly beg for mercy, but he had been raised in a stinking, hypocritical environment, and his eyes had never held such emotions. He was resilient and unyielding, so his gaze was fixed on the man before him, shining brightly in the darkness.
He felt very familiar; he seemed to have seen this man somewhere before. Zou Yuqing watched the man stop in front of him. His face was expressionless, his eyes cold, and his thin lips were tightly closed beneath his high nose, as if he was enduring something.
"You have a good eye." The man looked at Zou Yuqing with disdain. He lifted Zou Yuqing's chin with one hand and looked around. He gritted his teeth and said, "The son of a nouveau riche dares to touch my brother?"
Zou Yuqing frowned. As an Alpha, he'd never been treated this way before, and the man looked like an Alpha, too. Only a male of that gender could be so tall. Just standing in front of him was overwhelming. Perhaps this Alpha's pheromone level was even higher than his own, he speculated, his eyes never averting the man's gaze.
"Zou Yuyang, 24 years old, used to live in the slums. He became a nouveau riche thanks to demolition and has since moved up the social ladder. He's an A-level Alpha." Seeing that he wasn't looking away, the man seemed intrigued. He slowly revealed some information about the "person in front of him," then narrowed his eyes and leaned closer to Zou Yuqing. "You relied on this face to deceive my brother, right? He's certainly not bad, but he's only 18, just an adult, and you actually marked him and got him pregnant."
Pregnancy... Zou Yuyang had gotten someone pregnant. He was stunned, a hint of confusion in his eyes. Looking at the person in front of him, he was probably a rich young master from a large group, someone not easy to offend. The close distance at this moment made him even more panicked.
The sound of mingling breaths reached his ears distinctly, and his eyelashes began to tremble slightly. Just three seconds ago, he had suddenly smelled a strong scent of vodka. Even with the suppressant patch on, he couldn't resist the powerful pheromone invasion. And the next second, the man reached out and ripped off the suppressant patch on his glands and smiled at him.
"From the look in your eyes, you don't know my brother's identity. You think he's just an ordinary Omega?" The man leaned over to Zou Yuqing's gland and sniffed. "It smells minty, quite nice."
The whole space was filled with a dangerous smell. Zou Yuqing stared and released his pheromones to protect himself, but was completely suppressed by the other party.
He just watched this man who was obviously an Alpha come close to him and smell his pheromones, then smile with narrowed eyes. That smile seemed like a mockery of him. He had seen it too many times, and each time it broke and rebuilt his fragile self-esteem.
"My name is Wei Mingjue. Do you know who my brother is?" After saying that, Wei Mingjue loosened the hemp rope that bound Zou Yuqing. At the moment when Zou Yuqing was about to escape, he accurately grabbed the strong forearm and pulled it hard.
Zou Yuqing's head was still dizzy, and suddenly he felt dizzy. When he came to his senses, he found himself pressed down on the bed next to the chair, and Wei Mingjue was lying above him, looking at him with a smile.
Wei Mingjue... Zou Yuqing knew who he was. This man was known to almost the entire city. He was the heir to Shuangming Pharmaceutical Company. The glorious deeds of this company were often broadcast on TV, and his younger brother was the darling of the Wei family, Wei Mingyu, who had been spoiled since childhood.
This time, it was truly over. Everyone knew that the Wei family doted on Wei Mingyu to the skies, but now he was being targeted by his brother, Zou Yuyang, the son of a nouveau riche, and was even pregnant. Zou Yuqing looked at Wei Mingjue, his eyes filled with apology, stubbornness, and unwillingness, but all of this was ignored by Wei Mingjue on his body.
At that moment, Wei Mingjue felt his entire body boiling with excitement. No one had ever dared look at him like that before. From the very beginning, Zou Yuqing's eyes had captivated him. He thought, perhaps it was because he came from the slums that he had that tough, unyielding look. Although it was different from the cynical, playboy-like figure described in the investigation, it didn't stop him from being intrigued by this "real person."
Now he was like a wild beast, and Zou Yuqing was his prey. As Alphas, they were the hunters at the top of the pyramid, with Betas and Omegas at their mercy. But Wei Mingjue was different. As an S-rank Alpha, his prey wasn't just the ordinary, weak Betas and Omegas, but also Alphas of the same gender. Because he was at the top, he could overlook everything and control everything.
He tore off Zou Yuqing's well-deserved suit that he had spent a lot of money on. Seeing Zou Yuqing's finally frightened look, he smiled with a look of madness and satisfaction, and whispered in the woman's ear, "I will give you back everything you used on my brother."
Zou Yuqing's pupils shrank upon hearing this, and the chill of his body and the impact of his pheromones made him tremble. This was the first time he felt fear. He had never imagined that as an Alpha, he would be suppressed by another Alpha, and this Alpha was Wei Mingjue.
He began to struggle, the worn bed creaking, adding a touch of mystery to the silent night and making Wei Mingjue even more excited. He was not strong enough to push Wei Mingjue away, and his blocked mouth made him unable to explain, and he could only make pitiful "woohoo" sounds.
