Temporary Mark
Early on Saturday morning, Jiang Lu went to the store to work the early shift. His partner was also a cute Omega. After seeing him, the Omega seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"The person who came yesterday wasn't my Alpha." Knowing what his colleague wanted to ask, Jiang Lu smiled faintly while putting on his apron and said, "A lot of people asked me that yesterday."
Having received the answer he wanted, the Omega, looking somewhat excited, was about to speak, but Jiang Lu beat him to the punch. "But forget it. Didn't you see the article about the uproar in S City at the time?"
"Ah? I seem to have heard of it..." Perhaps it was because the new Omega looked a little strange. Although he had a smile on his face, his emotions could not be sensed at all. The partner did not ask any more questions. Instead, he said, "But he is really handsome," and began to prepare to start the coffee machine and start working during the morning rush hour.
Jiang Lu helped silently throughout the morning with his signature smile on his face. Although his colleagues in the store sensed that his condition was a little strange, they saw that the corners of his mouth were raised and he was helping quickly, so they didn't say anything.
Jiang Lu was a little excited, but this excitement was not the normal emotion that comes from encountering something happy, but an abnormal excitement about what he was about to do.
Wei Mingjue was coming, and he had to do something to get this arrogant Alpha to notice him.
"Sister, I feel a little uncomfortable. Can I go to the lounge to rest for a while?" Thinking of this, he put away the corners of his mouth, frowned slightly, and looked at the manager on duty with a weak look.
The manager on duty was a middle-aged Beta woman. Seeing the new colleague like this, she immediately said, "Go ahead. You don't look very well today. It's lunch break soon, so go ahead and rest. If you still feel uncomfortable, you can go home early."
"Thank you, sis."
After thanking him, Jiang Lu walked into the lounge alone and closed the door. He took his bag off the hook, then sat on a small stool and took out an injection. It was an injection with no words on the package. Jiang Lu looked at it for a long time, thinking of what his sister had said to him -
"Xiao Lu, this is a pheromone catalyst. Use it before your estrus period. Your pheromones are very weak, so using it will make them stronger and you won't feel too painful during estrus. It's best not to use it at other times."
As inferior Omegas, he and his sister suffered greatly during their estrus period. After all, their pheromones were too weak, and the pheromones accumulated in their bodies could not be released. Although estrus itself was a very painful process, the estrus period of inferior Omegas was even more suppressed than normal. In their daily lives, they were unable to be affected by various pheromones, and estrus period had a full backlash.
Is it better not to use it at other times? Jiang Lu pursed his lips, then tore open the catalyst package three seconds later. Gritting his teeth, he injected himself with the entire dose. A tingling sensation followed by numbness. Several milliliters of liquid flowed through his blood vessels, catalyzing the fusion.
Jiang Lu put the empty injection and its packaging back into his bag, nervously and excitedly waiting for the effect to appear. His eyes gleamed with a hint of madness and obsession.
Just three minutes later, the most familiar lotus fragrance wafted into the air. Less than a minute later, the partner Omega flung open the door and asked, "Are you in heat?"
The duty manager also rushed over. Through the open door, he could see many guests looking his way—after all, there were quite a few Alphas among them. Jiang Lu shivered slightly and raised his head sheepishly. "It seems... I, I'll be right back." He felt a little uncomfortable. The usually dormant pheromones were now running rampant through his body, making him feel sick and want to vomit.
"Quick, Xiao Wu, take him there!" The duty manager said, looking at another Beta part-time outside the door, then looked at Jiang Lu, "Your home is right next door, right? Tell Xiao Wu to go back and rest now and come back to work after the estrus period is over."
In a daze, Jiang Lu didn't hear what the manager on duty said. After telling the address to his Beta colleague, he began to sigh at the power of this catalyst.
Fortunately, the rented house was close enough, and he was safely sent home in a short while.
As soon as Zou Yuqing opened the door, he saw that something was wrong with his friend and was completely stunned. It was after that Beta handed Jiang Lu to him and said, "Little Jiang is in estrus. Let him go to work after it's over." Only then did he look blankly at Jiang Lu who was feeling uncomfortable in his arms.
What should he do? Zou Yuqing panicked. Although he was an Alpha, he and Jiang Lu were just friends. He had never been around an Omega before, so he was a little flustered by this situation. He knew that the Omega's estrus period was similar to the Alpha's susceptible period, and both needed to be handled independently, but Jiang Lu was in a very bad state right now.
"Qingqing... help me."
Zou Yuqing lowered his head and met his friend's pleading eyes. Somehow, he suddenly remembered that he had also had such a humble begging moment, and felt a little bit reluctant. "Do you have an inhibitor? Take one first and go back to your room to have a good rest." But he was rational, he and Jiang Lu were friends.
"Just give me some pheromones, okay?" But the pheromones of the person in his arms were getting stronger and stronger, and the scent of lotus filled Zou Yuqing's nostrils, making his body almost feel strange.
This is the pheromone attraction between Alpha and Omega. Even if there is no love, it will be abnormal because of the pheromones.
Jiang Lu began to sniff the minty pheromones he had hidden, stimulating his senses. Zou Yuqing tried to push Jiang Lu away, but the Omega in heat was surprisingly stronger than usual. He was afraid that pushing too hard would hurt his friend, so he let his hands hang in the air, feeling lost.
Seeing that Zou Yuqing didn't react at all, Jiang Lu began to sob, his whole body shaking. "It feels so bad. Please mark me. It's okay to mark me temporarily... Qing, it's okay." Standing on tiptoe, he brought the gland to Zou Yuqing's mouth again. Jiang Lu hugged the Alpha's neck in front of him tightly to prevent him from escaping.
He knew that Zou Yuqing would not push him away with great force again. After all, this Alpha was too soft-hearted, which was why it had come to this.
"No, Jiang Lu, let me go." Zou Yuqing's ears also turned red. He could feel that Jiang Lu was deliberately releasing more pheromones, and the fragrance of lotus made him a little dizzy.
"I'm a low-quality Omega, Qing, you know that. The temporary mark only alleviates the symptoms of our estrus period. The mark will disappear quickly. When I recover, no one will know what happened, okay? Qing, I'm really dying." Jiang Lu gasped in pain, as if he would faint in the next second. "Save me, Qing."
After saying that, Jiang Lu really let go of Zou Yuqing's neck and fell straight backwards. It was Zou Yuqing who was quick to catch the limp Omega in front of him.
He knew that the temporary mark would disappear, but it was different. If he really marked Jiang Lu, then at least he would not forget it, even if no one else knew about it.
What should he do? Zou Yuqing looked at the Omega who was almost suffocating in pain in his arms, and hesitated to take the next step.
(…temporary mark)
For a moment, the mint and lotus pheromones intertwined together, emitting an atmosphere that made Zou Yuqing feel sad.
