Damn it, I'm surrounded by insane Alphas!

After leaving the airport, Gu Chen drove his black car straight to the resort.

Before the car had even come to a complete stop in the resort's parking lot, Wang Cheng, who had been waiting for a long time, came to greet it.

"Is the person awake?"

As Wang Cheng walked, he reported rapidly, "Not yet. The doctor's initial assessment is that it's induced estrus, but the cause is unknown. It could be stress or..."

Gu Chen raised his hand to interrupt Wang Cheng and pushed open the door.

Wang Cheng wisely refrained from following him inside, and simply closed the door gently behind him.

The doctor standing nearby had never seen President Gu like this before and asked in a low voice, "Who is the assistant to President Gu? I've never seen President Gu like this before."

Wang Cheng looked thoughtfully at the closed door and said in a low voice, "This is not something we should worry about."

inside the room.

The curtains were drawn, and only a dim wall lamp was on.

Shi Ran lay on the large bed, an abnormal flush spreading from her cheekbones to her neck, her brows furrowed, clearly in pain.

Gu Chen slowly sat down on the edge of the bed, took out a silk handkerchief from his bosom, and gently wiped away the cold sweat from Shi Ran's forehead.

Fingertips brushed against slightly warm skin, accompanied by a barely perceptible tremor.

In the space where only the two of them were alone, the memories of the copy surged uncontrollably.

Those tender whispers, intertwined body heat, and unreserved trust, like a warm tide, temporarily drowned out the hatred.

He leaned down and pressed his lips almost reverently against Shi Ran's dry lips.

It's very light, carrying the precious feeling of something lost and then found again.

The moment his lips left hers, Shi Ran's body trembled violently.

As if triggered by Gu Chen's pheromones, Shi Ran's eyes rolled violently beneath her tightly closed eyelids, and a sob escaped her throat.

"Ugh, it's hot...it's so uncomfortable."

Just as Gu Chen was about to straighten up, Shi Ran wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him back.

Shi Ran's eyes were half-open, but they were unfocused and unfocused, showing only pure physiological desire.

Like a fish searching for water, he eagerly pressed his lips to Gu Chen's, clumsily yet passionately seeking a kiss.

"I feel so bad...please help me."

Gu Chen froze, suddenly needing his help.

How long has he been waiting for this moment?

Two years.

Over the past two years, I've dreamt of Shi Ran countless times, and all his ecstatic joy at regaining what he lost vanishes the moment he wakes up.

But now she was truly in his arms, her hot breath falling on his ear.

He asked me to help him.

How could he possibly refuse?

"I am here."

Gu Chen's voice was so hoarse that all his restraint and forbearance crumbled at this moment.

He was no longer the calm and composed CEO of Huanyu, but a beast driven by instinct.

He took the initiative, grabbed Shi Ran's head, and kissed her back fiercely.

It was no longer the light kiss from before, but a deep, possessive kiss, as if he wanted to devour her whole.

As he kissed her, he pulled out the concentrated pheromone syringe he had prepared beforehand.

He whispered between breaths, "Who am I?"

Shi Ran was no longer conscious; she just trembled and pressed herself against him again.

Gu Chen didn't get the answer he wanted, but he wasn't annoyed. A hint of obsession flashed in his eyes.

It doesn't matter; it doesn't matter whether he knows who he is or not.

From today onwards, he is his own personal omega.

His body and his soul will bear his own unique mark.

He can no longer escape; he will always belong to him, forever.

Just thinking about the word "forever" made Gu Chen feel like his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

The last time his heart raced was when he finally kicked Gu Hongyuan out of the Huanyu board of directors.

But now, he feels even more exhilarated, more thrilled, and more like a gambler who's going all in.

"Baby.."

He gasped for breath, held Shi Ran's neck still, and without hesitation raised the syringe in his hand, piercing the burning gland.

Perhaps when she wakes up, she will blame him for taking advantage of her vulnerability and hate his domineering and tyrannical ways, but it doesn't matter anymore.

He really, really couldn't wait even a second longer.

From the moment Shi Ran reappeared in his world, he had only one thought.

I want to mark him completely and possess him entirely.

In the most primitive and indelible way, I will forever leave my mark on him.

Now, this is the moment.

The slight pain of the needle piercing her skin made Shi Ran flinch and tighten her embrace around Gu Chen.

"Hmm..."

"Be good, just bear with it."

Gu Chen's voice was husky and seductive.

"The pain will stop soon, baby, soon... you'll be completely mine."

Gu Chen was about to push the syringe needle, but suddenly felt a huge resistance and couldn't push it down no matter what he did.

He frowned, and an extremely domineering aura suddenly erupted from the deepest part of his Shiran gland.

Two top-tier Alpha pheromones collided violently within the still-fragile glands.

"Ugh—"

Suddenly, she let out a piercing scream, her body arched violently, and she fell heavily back onto the bed.

Gu Chen's hand holding the syringe froze in mid-air.

"What happened...?"

He brought the concentrate specifically because injection marking is more stable and has a higher success rate than serrated marking, so why did it still fail!

Why?!

Gu Chen's bigger question was, how could there be another Alpha's scent deep inside Shi Ran's glands?

Could it be...?

Gu Chenxin's heart sank, and he immediately leaned over to examine the glands on the back of the neck.

Apart from the needle mark, there were no other marks on the slightly swollen gland.

So... someone marked him before he arrived?

Moreover, this aura... is cold, bloodthirsty, and filled with the smoke of gunpowder...

Gu Chen suddenly remembered something—it was that man at the airport!

This thought made Gu Chen's hands gradually grow cold.

So this means that on Gu Chen's territory, Shi Ran was branded with a dirty mark by another Alpha.

And this person walked away right under his nose.

"Hmm..."

There was no roar, no howl, only a muffled groan squeezed out from deep in his throat.

He looked at Shi Ran, who was unconscious on the bed, with a cold and piercing gaze, carrying a morbid pain of having everything defiled.

Gu Chen's icy breath brushed against the skin of the person beneath him. "How dare he... soil you with his filthy scent?"

"Don't be afraid."

Gu Chen's fingertips gently caressed Shi Ran's lips, carrying a twisted sense of soothing.

"I will wash away every trace he left behind, find him, and then...crush him with my own hands."

With that final whisper, a pheromone pressure mixed with chilling killing intent exploded in the room.

In the corridor just a wall away, Wang Cheng also sensed something was wrong and rushed in with a pale face.

But as soon as she opened the door, she saw her boss sitting on the edge of the bed, slowly wiping something, but his back exuded a terrifying aura.

Wang Cheng suddenly remembered Fu Yanshen.

That man, equally powerful to the point of being terrifying.

That Alpha who also has countless connections with Shi Ran.

He frowned as he looked at Shi Ran, whose face was even paler on the bed.

Shi Ran...who exactly are you?

What secrets does it hold?
