Shen Dai slept for a long, deep sleep. He is too tired. When the estrus period ends, the hormone level returns from abnormal to normal. All the excessive physical strength during this period will be reversed to ‘collect debt’. Not to mention that he has endured the bottomless pit of S-class alpha’s desire throughout the susceptible period.

When he woke up, the blackout curtains in the room were closed, and Shen Dai had no idea if it was day or night. He turned over and grabbed his hand habitually to the side: “Mo Yu…”

It was empty.

Shen Dai opened his eyes and saw that it was empty beside him. His palms on the bed, it was warm. But the mattress felt cold. It was obvious that the person had been away for a long time. Although he knew that Qu Moyu was awake, he couldn’t help but feel lost. After all, every minute of the past week, Qu Moyu had been clinging to him for eating, sleeping, and bathing. He didn’t leave him alone for a moment. His eyes followed him everywhere.

Shen Dai had a strong sense of unreality about what had happened. He reached out and touched the back of his neck. The hemostatic sticker was already removed and the bite marks on the glands had scabbed over, which would leave traces there that could not be erased for a lifetime. Being able to clearly feel the existence of the ebony pheromone, his body and desire no longer belong to him. But even with many proofs, he still feels like it was all a dream.

Qu Moyu had marked him.

Qu Moyu had marked him?!

Shen Dai couldn’t help but put his hand on his flat abdomen. Will there already be their children here? During estrus, the pregnancy rate is extremely high. As long as you do not take contraceptive measures, it is a huge probability that you will be able to conceive. He and Qu Moyu’s children… Just thinking about it has already made his heart surging. There is boundless tenderness in this thought.

He was immersed in his emotions for a long time. As his brain became sober, his rationality gradually returned. He thought that he was forced into estrus. Uncle Heng should ask for leave for him. The sudden omega estrus is a normal event and the labour law stipulates that it does not devote to absenteeism. Has his grandmother contacted him these days? In case… Wait! Shen Dai suddenly remembered that his mobile phone was crushed by Qu Moyu.

Shen Dai sat up from the bed. All the scenes that happened that night came to mind but he couldn’t connect the strange ringtone with the sudden change of Qu Moyu. After all, it was beyond his cognitive system. He hugged his head and rubbed his hair. He decided to take a shower so that he could return to reality as soon as possible.

Both his legs and waist were unbearably sore. The room that had been cleaned but it was still filled with eroticism. Thinking of the absurdity of these days, Shen Dai’s face became hot.

He slowly moved to the bathroom and when he took off his clothes and looked at himself in the mirror, he was covered in love marks. It was… simply unsightly. He quickly looked away and entered the shower.

After taking a shower, he walked out while wiping his hair. The room was still dark and only the light diffused from the bathroom provided a faint brightness. He was about to go to the bed and turn on the light when he suddenly saw an unknown person on the sofa in the corner. There was a dark and tall silhouette of a person.

Shen Dai was startled. He looked at the long, crossed legs: “Mo Yu? Why don’t you turn on the lights?”

A hand stretched out to the lamp on the coffee table. His slender fingertips gently pressed the switch. His movements were slow and graceful, like a starter gesture falling on a piano key. Qu Moyu’s expressionless face flickered under the halo. It was suddenly dark, making it impossible to see emotions. But his eyes were deep. His iris was like a circle of clenched gears and his pupils were the bottomless blue holes of the Bahamas, in which everything could be swallowed up.

The bone-chilling chill attached to the spine and rushed all the way to the top of the skull. Shen Dai’s body trembled slightly. He was more able to perceive Qu Moyu’s mood swings than before, which meant that he was more easily affected than before.

He was terrified.

Holding a trace of expectation, he struggled and called out ‘husband’ as if to please him, eager for Qu Moyu to respond to him with enthusiasm and love like the past few days.

Qu Moyu’s response was to express his undisguised disgust with slightly twisted eyebrows. He picked up a transparent plastic bag from the coffee table, which contained a crushed mobile phone: “Do you know the principle of doing this thing?”

Shen Dai stared blankly at his phone, not sure if he understood Qu Moyu’s question.

“There is a device that can emit infrasound waves. The special ringtone is the trigger mechanism. People can only hear the ringtone and cannot hear the infrasound waves, but this infrasound wave can affect the endocrine.” Qu Moyu said ironically, “Why? Qu Chengchen didn’t explain the principle to you? Well, it is really unnecessary. It was developed by the military to deal with S-class alphas. Torture, interference, and attacks are quite powerful. And ordinary people will never be able to touch them for a lifetime.”

Shen Dai’s mind was blank. In his life, there were very few moments when he couldn’t think at all. Many times, the more complicated the problem, the more he regarded it as a challenge. But not now. Now, he is very flustered.

Qu Moyu stood up and walked towards Shen Dai step by step.

The chill that invaded the bone marrow made Shen Dai stagger back two steps and then he couldn’t move – Qu Moyu wouldn’t let him move.

Qu Moyu walked up to Shen Dai and looked down at the fair and handsome face, his heart was shaking uncontrollably. After all, in the past seven days, they had experienced the most fervent love in the world, leaving countless memories. Hot memories during the susceptible period. He would die without hesitation to protect his omega. But the susceptible period was over and he had sobered up. He held the mobile phone in the plastic bag next to Shen Dai’s face, reminding himself to look at reality, not this face that is good at disguising. His voice was cold: “Do you have anything to explain to me?”

Shen Dai shook his head and whispered, “I don’t know.” He didn’t know what Qu Moyu was talking about. How could his cell phone have infrasound waves…? He suddenly remembered that the afternoon of the incident, he was taking care of his grandmother. He summoned him to go home on the grounds of his grandmother not feeling well. Then, Shen Qin took his mobile phone away when he went out to buy vegetables. For more than an hour, Shen Qin… No, Shen Qin didn’t have that kind of ability to do this alone. It must be Qu Chengchen!

Shen Dai’s pupils shrank violently. But in Qu Moyu’s eyes, he was just looking for a way to protest.

Shen Dai looked up at Qu Moyu and said in a panic, “It’s not me. I don’t know what happened to my phone… I went home that day, and my dad took my phone away. I don’t know what infrasound is!”

Shen Dai himself knew that such an explanation was too lame. But this was the whole truth. Seeing that Qu Moyu’s expression became more and more gloomy, he hugged Qu Moyu’s arm and released a pheromone in an attempt to appease his alpha. He said softly: “Mo Yu, listen to me. I’m in a mess right now. You let this go…”

Qu Moyu’s eyes showed a fierce light. He shook off Shen Dai’s arm, grabbed the slender white neck with his big hand, and pushed Shen Dai against the wall. He gritted his teeth and said every word viciously. He suddenly said: “You, schemed. You schemed against me.” The resentment of being betrayed by the person next to him made him angry and murderous. Confused by this omega’s gentle and peaceful appearance, he repeatedly broke the rules and released his good intentions and pampered him. He has never been so obsessed with any omega. And he even had the idea of ​​keeping him by his side for a long time. But it was this omega who quietly schemed with his enemies to set traps for himself!

Shen Dai’s cold appearance, smiling appearance, and emotional appearance kept appearing in front of him. Those beautiful pictures of them getting along turned into silent films playing in his mind, overlapping with the Shen Dai in front of him. No, everything in his memory was false. This omega is so greedy, so mean, so cunning!

His heart seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand. He couldn’t understand such pain. He had never experienced such humiliation in his life. He hated it so much that he wanted to kill someone!

“Hmm…” Shen Dai struggled to keep his feet to the ground. The pain that he couldn’t breathe made him let out a low whimper. He widened his eyes and looked at this man with bloodshot eyes and a ferocious expression in disbelief. His brows were filled with hatred for him. He was his alpha, the one who hugged him in all kinds of affection just yesterday. His alpha. This is his alpha!

Clear tears flowed down his cheeks and Shen Dai realised the drastic change of stepping out of heaven and falling straight into hell.

Qu Moyu threw him to the ground before Shen Dai was about to suffocate.

Shen Dai covered his neck and coughed violently. His face flushed with tears. He slowly raised his head and said in a hoarse voice, “I didn’t, I didn’t do anything.”

Qu Moyu stretched out his suit pants, squatted down, and pinched Shen Dai’s jaw: “You didn’t do anything? Didn’t you use your estrus period to climb on me? Or did you not use the susceptible period to unite with my enemy to scheme against me to get my mark?”

Shen Dai’s heart was broken and he couldn’t argue.

“You’re really smart. You’re very good at disguising yourself. I guess you didn’t read the book in vain.” Qu Moyu squeezed his chin maliciously, “Now think about it. How could there be so many coincidences? Maybe the lab accident four years ago, too. You deliberately set a trap, but I held back. But you were in estrus at the investor meeting again. You were sure I won’t leave you alone. You really worked hard to get me to fall in love with you.”

Shen Dai shook his head tremblingly. Even when Qu Moyu was wary of him in the early days, he never said such vicious and mean words. Qu Moyu was aloof and personable. He didn’t even bother to speak ill of him. But now, he saw a strange and unfamiliar person. Perhaps this is the real Qu Moyu.

“Do you know what I’ve lost in the past seven days? I marked an inferior omega who didn’t deserve my mark at all. And it might even make him pregnant with my seed.” Qu Moyu’s knife-like gaze swept across Shen Dai’s abdomen. “Under the influence of infrasound waves, the susceptibility period was three or four days earlier than predicted and my affairs have not been arranged yet. Qu Chengchen took advantage of this time to unite several forces to shorten the stock price and then buy back with large sums of money. Things have changed. But I’m hiding at home like a beast and can’t do anything except mating. If it wasn’t for my dad’s hard work to stabilise the overall situation, Qu Chengchen would probably have seized power!”

Shen Dai stared blankly at Qu Moyu, his eyes filled with panic and despair.

A beautiful dream turned into a nightmare.

Qu Moyu stood up and looked condescendingly at Shen Dai, who was lying on the ground unable to move. Those eyes that were full of tenderness and love not long ago, were now looking at him like looking at something filthy: “You think you got what you want. You think you can control me with my mark. No one can control me. No one can fool me. You will pay the price.”​​​​
