On the day after his nineteenth birthday, Bai Yan accepted an invitation to meet a prospective partner.

As an Omega with albinism and frail health who had grown up in an orphanage, Bai Yan had no illusions about his situation.

Still, he harbored a sliver of hope and went to the meeting on time.

What awaited him, however, was a marriage contract.

The S-class Alpha before him was severe and handsome, his aura noble and aloof. The look he gave Bai Yan was flat and distant.

The man politely informed Bai Yan of the contract’s terms, including the eight-figure compensation he would receive upon its conclusion.

Sensing the young man’s shock, the Alpha paused, his tone softening in a rare show of consideration.

“You can take your time to think it over. There’s no rush.”

Pheromones of a high compatibility enveloped Bai Yan, making him feel as if he were basking in the winter sun. Yet, the hopeful flutter in his heart slowly turned to ice.

Thinking of the orphanage on the verge of bankruptcy, the young man concealed his disappointment. His snow-white eyelashes trembled.

After a long moment, the Omega pressed his lips together and said softly,

“Alright.”

****

Pei Tingyu was naturally aloof. As the highest-ranking Alpha, he was still unattached at twenty-eight.

Faced with warnings of his pheromones spiraling out of control, his only solution was to seek stability through a marriage contract.

Upon entering the meeting place, the Alpha’s eyes immediately fell upon a beautiful, slender young man in the corner of the coffee shop.

The Omega was looking down, staring blankly at the glass in his hands. His pale gold hair was haloed by the light, and his porcelain skin was so fair it seemed almost translucent, as if he might simply disappear at any moment.

Even though he had already reviewed the young man’s file, the Alpha’s brow smoothed out imperceptibly. He sighed to himself.

The Omega is too fragile. Best to bring him home and look after him properly.

****

The Alpha was highly efficient. Before long, Bai Yan had registered their marriage and moved into the Pei family manor.

Bai Yan quickly adapted to his new life, striving to play the part of a quiet, obedient, and sensible young spouse.

This involved feigning intimacy in public, handling inspections from the official Matching System, and, of course, soothing his legal partner during his ruts…

All without ever noticing that Mr. Pei’s gaze, as it lingered on him, was growing deeper and more intense.

Until one day—

The Alpha, deep in his rut, had reddened eyes and ragged breath. The silver bite inhibitor over his mouth gleamed.

The man knelt before Bai Yan, his eyes as dark as ink, and coaxed him in a low voice:

“Yanyan, my precious…”

“Use your fingerprint… to take off the inhibitor…”

The familiar pheromones had lost their usual gentleness, turning scorching hot.

Bai Yan held his breath, his heart racing erratically. It felt as if all the blood in his body was rushing to the gland on his neck.

As if mesmerized, the young man leaned down uncontrollably, his trembling fingertips slowly approaching the back of the Alpha’s neck.

Click.

The cool metal of the bite inhibitor fell onto the soft carpet, revealing the man’s sharp, chiseled features in their entirety.

The Alpha let out a low chuckle, his arm wrapping around the Omega’s slender waist.

He was clearly at his limit, the veins on his arm standing out in sharp relief, yet he remained gentlemanly and restrained, carefully controlling his strength.

A hoarse voice whispered by his ear in a deceptively polite inquiry:

“I’m going to do something improper to my precious, alright?”

****

It was only after that day that Bai Yan truly understood just how terrifying an S-class Alpha, celibate for years, could be once unleashed.
