Chapter 2
“Shen Junze, hurry up. It’s Friday. Once you transfer your pheromones to me, I’ll have two whole days to let them wear off.”
I was sitting on the couch, talking to Shen Junze beside me. With that, I turned around and openly offered him my neck.
I turned too fast to catch the flash of darkness in his eyes.
I waited quite a while, but he didn’t make a move.
I was just about to turn back and hurry him along when he caught both my arms and pulled me into a hug from behind.
Resting his forehead on my shoulder, Shen Junze said softly, “This might feel a little uncomfortable.”
I could feel his chest rising and falling as he spoke.
Instinct told me there was something very wrong with this position!
I hurriedly broke free. “I’m a grown man. You think I can’t handle a little discomfort? Just bite me already. At this rate, it’ll be dark before you do.”
Shen Junze’s expression suddenly darkened.
Then he turned me around again. This time, he didn’t simply hold my arms. He wrapped his arms around me and bit into my neck.
Having pheromones injected into me wasn’t exactly pleasant. It felt as if some cool liquid were flowing into my veins…
As a Beta, I couldn’t normally sense Alpha or Omega pheromones.
But when Shen Junze injected his into me, I could actually smell them.
Shen Junze’s pheromones smelled like—roses.
It was a very faint rose scent, and it smelled lovely.
He’d told me before that his pheromones smelled like roses.
I’d tried for ages, but I’d never been able to smell them.
Because I was a—Beta.
A Beta who couldn’t smell Alpha or Omega pheromones.
Back then, I’d secretly hoped I might differentiate into an Omega. Then I’d be able to smell Shen Junze’s pheromones.
But people generally differentiated into their ABO sexes at eighteen. I hadn’t differentiated at eighteen, or nineteen, or twenty. Now that I was twenty-one, I’d accepted the fact that I was a Beta.
After a while, Shen Junze had stopped bringing up his scent so often.
Through my growing haze, I thought how nice it must be. Alphas and Omegas came with their own fragrance. They could even save money on perfume.
