The moment when Lola hugged Caesar, she couldn't imagine the kind of treatment she would receive—her fever period arrived earlier than she expected. As the daughter of a significant criminal, she lived in a small house inside the Prime Minister's residence.
She was prohibited from leaving unless there was a need for publicity or the newly appointed Prime Minister wanted to show his kindness, allowing Lola to take some happy photos before being locked back in the yard.
Escape was even more impossible as her ankle was forcibly fixed with a positioning chip. Once she went beyond the designated range, the chip would sound an alarm and release an electric current strong enough to make Lola unconscious.
Three years ago, Lola learned from her teacher how every Omega should handle their first heat after adulthood - by taking suppressant pills to cover up the scent of their pheromones and staying away from Alphas, especially those in their sensitive period. During her heat period, Lola's physical strength significantly decreased without suppressants. Hormones caused her body to release many pheromones that could attract Alphas while also causing subtle changes in her physique. Her skin became smoother and more radiant than usual, her hair and eyes brighter and glossy, and her lips plumper. However, she also lost some physical and mental energy and suffered from the harmful effects of increased hormones. For example, at the moment, Lola stood on her tiptoes with trembling hands, holding the gun the silver-haired man in front of her had put on her. He wore black gloves and a dark military uniform, and the golden badge on his chest shone with a dull metallic luster. The edge of the badge had just cut Lola's finger, and the coldness and pain were like a shot of ice-cold liquor. The tall man made it impossible for Lola to touch his cheek. She held the cold gun and pleaded in a trembling voice, "Please help me." The silver-haired man asked, "Are you a staff member here?" As expected, he was very cautious. Lola had stuck to his uniform. Her clothes were loose and soft. The white shirt she had just changed into seemed like the wind could easily tear it. Sticking to the cold uniform, Lola smelled the strong scent emanating from him. The Alpha's pheromones were aggressive, like whiskey on the rocks, the coldness on the blade, and the snow plain under the moonlight.These mature scents blended, making Lola want to hug him uncontrollably, matching the mutual attraction between pheromones, strong enough to override human reason.
The jasmine scent on her body also tempted the man. Lola was uncertain if he was also experiencing the same attraction. At least he didn't put the gun in her mouth or pull the trigger without hesitation. When she stretched out her hand to hug him from behind, her cheek pressing against his stiff military uniform, Lora heard the silver-haired man uncontrollably let out a suppressed low pant from his throat. He ordered in a near-grinding-tooth manner, "Let go." Lola didn't let go. She pushed her hair to one side, the brand on her cheek and ear like a flickering little flame. The white neck and the brand indicating her lowly status appeared in front of the other person simultaneously. She tightly held the gun with her knuckles, and her bones were intertwined, her voice low. Lola pleaded with the other person: "Please, even if it's just a temporary mark... please save me." Her vision had been blurred, and she could only see the other person's silver hair and violet-like eyes. Enough. Lola closed her eyes. She could hear the man's breathing. She knew what an uncontrollable Alpha could do and had already prepared herself for it. The scent of pheromones intensified, and Lola kissed the military uniform with the other person's body temperature. The smell had a subtle, soothing effect, but Lola couldn't tell if her behavior was instinctive. The other person's voice was full of disgust: "Crafty Asti people..." Saying that he still didn't pull the trigger, not shooting this despicable person who had severely stained him. The hand-wearing black gloves violently tore apart the pure white clothes, and the mature male's scent was too intense. Lola could feel the fear she had physiologically produced, and every cell in her body was screaming to run away from this man who might be able to kill her directly. Lola used her last bit of reason to beg him: "Please don't kill me, okay? You can do whatever you want. I want to continue living..." The man didn't say anything, and the pheromones made him restless. He roughly picked up Lola, lowered his head, and fiercely bit her neck. The sharp teeth pierced the skin and penetrated the glands, and Lola covered her mouth, her eyes wide open in pain. The other person was forcibly marking her temporarily. The pain of being temporarily kept was heavier than Lola had imagined, and she whimpered. The other person seemed not to know how to treat a lady or perhaps was indifferent to showing tenderness to an Asti person and carried her to a rock. The last scene Lola remembered before losing consciousness was the other person's silver hair and the pale moon. ... Lola woke up feeling uncomfortable. She was strictly controlled, wearing a pure white shirt, and the electronic chip shackles on her ankles remained there. Lola tried to move her ankles, but the intense discomfort made her take a deep breath. It could have been better. The feeling of being forcibly marked for the first time was not good, especially since the other person had muscular physical fitness and mental strength and was in a sensitive period. Lola found that she didn't have much power now. Although she now bears a temporary mark and no longer emits excessive pheromones, yesterday's nightmare left Lora feeling utterly drained of energy. Struggling to sit up, she wonders if she should be grateful that the man from last night did not leave a permanent mark on her. Pale and with dried blood on her neck, Lola sits on the edge of her bed, barely able to muster the energy to climb into it the night before. The aftermath of her experience is worse than she had imagined. At this point, Lora can only recall the man's silver hair and violet eyes, which are beginning to fade. She cannot remember how she returned to her room and changed into fresh clothing. Exhausted, Lola is unsure how much time she has left to rest. She needs to remember where she tossed her alarm clock. Her thoughts are interrupted as sunlight floods the room through the pushed-open door. Eugenie stands in the doorway, her golden hair shimmering, her brown eyes reflecting the battered and bruised Lora on the ground. In a cold, robotic tone, Eugenie says, "Lola, I suspect you of leaking confidential files. Please cooperate with our investigation."It is two o'clock in the afternoon.Caesar has finally regained consciousness, thanks to the suppressants. His physician speculates that his susceptible period early may have been due to food. After all, Caesar has just returned to Florence and needs to adjust his sleep schedule. There are still traces of the Omega woman's blood on his uniform and teeth. He cannot deny that her pheromones were a perfect match for him, an unbelievable sensation.However, her race causes Caesar to frown. Under the rule of the Imperial Federation, all races are treated equally and without discrimination. No matter where they come from or to which country they belong, they will not face unfair treatment as long as they join the Empire.Except for Asti.Since the establishment of the Empire, Asti has been labeled as dangerous, unruly, and terrifying. They are not permitted to attend public schools, reside near other communities, work in government-related jobs, or participate in crucial industries such as
Lola didn't know whether to feel lucky for being an Omega. Since the vigorous equal rights movement decades ago, Omegas were no longer seen as weak. In some cases, they were even given preferential treatment for political correctness.For example, today. Despite being accused of leaking confidential information and facing severe scrutiny, she was not punished like others.But the shackle and chain bound her had become unbearable; its weight oppressed her greatly. Lola couldn't stand up anymore and could only kneel on the cold ground. The chilly water soaked her legs while her white dress barely covered her scraped knees. Due to her position, half of her calf was exposed, with red finger marks visible on its fair skin.The perpetrator stood outside the dark iron railing wearing a black military uniform with his rank on his shoulder badge. His mature body was tightly wrapped by a matching belt adorned with a beautiful yet cold golden buckle.He wasn't wearing any badges today; his purpl
Lola finally quenched her thirst, feeling on the verge of perishing from dehydration. She thought herself to a withered sponge, desperately needing replenishment from a water source. The warden presented her with a water-filled disposable paper cup, crude and hardly clean. But Lola didn't care. Heavy shackles constrained her movements; she couldn't stand to drink. Instead, she half-knelt on the ground, greedily gulping the water. It was ordinary, cool drinking water. Lola's throat was sore and swollen, perhaps a lingering aftereffect of her fever or possibly due to Caesar's brutality the day before. She didn't want to dwell on the cause of her discomfort; she just hungrily drank, her actions frantic. The cold water naturally soothed her throat; some uncontrollably dribbled down from the corners of her mouth. Caesar stood nearby, coldly observing her inelegant drinking manner. Despite accusations of betrayal and being parched to this extent, her lips remained as red as rose petals,
Unable to resist Caesar's invitation, Lola's legs had utterly lost strength following the recent excessive fright. Like cooked noodles, soft and round, her limbs seemed to be inundated with hot water, the ligaments, and bones soaked to tenderness. Temporarily marked, her heat finally found brief respite. Due to her physical constitution, Lola enjoyed a short reprieve after Caesar's transient marking. The pheromone illusion allowed her body to secrete hormones normally. Still, once the pheromones faded and metabolized, her heat would persist—without an Alpha's aid, it would be even more unbearable than before. However, the previous night's events would not recur for at least the next two days. An Omega's heat would typically last seven days, and Laura was still determining if she could endure that long. She hoped she could hold on longer, as Caesar seemed challenging to deal with. Caesar had no intention of treating Laura with such cruelty—she wasn't suited for it. He had interrog
Lola's account of her movements was equally simplistic. After secretly escaping from the solitary confinement cell, she sneaked into the kitchen to steal some bread. After consuming ten plates of bread, she intended to return to the cell but started feeling unwell. This discomfort led Lola to believe she had overeaten and was too full. After careful consideration, she walked in the cedar forest to help digest her meal.Caesar knew the rest of the story. He could not imagine that the girl in front of him, who was absentmindedly plucking rose petals, would mistake her period of fever for being "overstuffed." Her foolishness was beyond his imagination.As she spoke, Lola absentmindedly tore the rose petals into tiny pieces. It was inevitable that people would fidget when they were anxious, and Caesar allowed her this behavior.However, when Lola unconsciously tried to stuff the rose petals into her mouth, Caesar slapped her hand and snapped, "Don't eat that."It was as if Lola had awaken
Lola had not partaken of any sustenance for a considerable time, and her stomach now lay barren, utterly devoid of any contents, persistently throbbing with pain. This suffering could be attributed to Caesar, the sadist who delighted in wielding his whip, a cruel tyrant who relished in administering punishment, and who nearly marred her precious visage. In truth, this was not Lola's first encounter with hunger. Between the ages of three and eighteen, Lola had mainly lived in starvation, particularly during her growth period. Her stature barely reached 160 centimeters, undoubtedly linked to her lack of adequate nourishment during her formative years. In the government residence, meals were strictly regimented, with a precise distribution of daily nutrients. The provisions scarcely provided sufficient sustenance for muscular growth. Even the Alphas, subjected to such dietary restrictions for years, could not attain significant stature or the physical prowess they were capable of. The
After being scolded, Lola sat quietly. Caesar's gaze returned to her frail body, focusing on her delicate shoulders, slender collarbones, and the bruised wounds left by shackles. She looked like she could burst into tears at the slightest touch. Francis approached Caesar and spoke in his characteristic lazy tone, "Tell me... General, can you investigate this case without any personal bias? The Prime Minister might not know, but you should know who left those marks on Lora's neck, right?" Caesar narrowed his eyes slightly, "Do you want to know?" His voice was low and sounded like a territorial beast. Francis didn't pursue the topic further. After all, he wasn't an Alpha but a Beta who failed to differentiate. Francis straightened up and casually said, "Perhaps it's unnecessary. I respect personal privacy." "...However, since the Prime Minister entrusted me with this task, I think I should give it my all, right?" Francis caressed the eagle's head on his cane, "General, you can consi
Upon the exchange for handcuffs, the tension within Lola's demeanor dissipated considerably. The abrasions on her wrists were painful. Although Lola prided herself on her high pain tolerance from childhood scuffles, she struggled to endure the constant friction between the heavy shackles and her skin for extended periods. Compared to the pain, the unhealed wounds tormented by the shackles resembled cruel torture. Liberated from her restraints, Lola could now pace freely in her solitary cell, sleep on the narrow, damp bunk, and even approach the bars to chat with the correctional officers, play cards, and coax them into sharing their pine nuts. The only inconvenience was the effort required to maneuver her underpants when using the bathroom. She had first to lift her skirt, hold it in place with her teeth, and then pull the left side up after cleaning herself, followed by the right, repeating the process several times before the underpants were properly in place. Once completed, she
