Shen Dai kept tumbling on the bed. He was so cold that he had to wrap his body with a quilt, and then felt unbearably hot, so he had to kick the quilt to breathe in some fresh air.

He touched his face with his hand. His face was hot, like it was burning. The orbital bones seemed to be constantly tightening and the hoop made his brain hurt and confused. His reason was about to be burned out by lust. He struggled to get up from the bed and stumbled into the bathroom of the guest bedroom. He propped himself against the wall and sat on the toilet. He held his sore dick and stroked it almost roughly. In this unbearable torture, finding a hint of relief, he couldn’t help but let out a cry. But he immediately bit his lip. However, this feeling is only scratching the surface. The emptiness of feeling the real thing is difficult to be satisfied with. The body is constantly screaming to be invaded, marked, and conquered. The floral fragrance from his glands smelled too sweet even for him and he seemed to be drowning in the fragrance.

After venting, his body became even weaker. He realised that the estrus period this time was more violent than he had imagined. He would not be able to last for three or five hours. He had to take a second dose of the inhibitor through injection.

Staggering back to the bedside, when he bent down to open the bedside table, the soles of his feet softened, and he knelt directly on the ground. He ended up knocking his forehead against the edge of the bedside table with a bang, making him dizzy. Beside the bed, he was dizzy and weak, unable to move for a while. He was half passed out.

After an unknown amount of time, he was awakened by Xiao Die’s worried voice. He opened his hazy eyes and saw Xiao Die trying to help him with a panicked face: “Mr. Shen, have you fainted? How are you now?”

“No. I’m fine.” His first gender is male. So, he was still much taller and stronger than Xiao Die. Xiao Die couldn’t move him at all. He gathered up all his strength, propped up on the edge of the bed, and with the help of Xiao Die, he lay back on the bed again.

“Mr. Shen, I don’t think you can do this. Is the inhibitor not working?”

“It’s not enough.” Shen Dai pointed weakly at the bedside table, “There’s still one in there. Help me get another one.”

Xiao Die took a new inhibitor for him. She tore the package and handed it to Shen Dai. After Shen Dai took it, he wrapped himself in the quilt again. The inhibitor would not take effect soon and he had to continue to endure it.

“Mr. Shen, you have a lump on your forehead. Did you hit your head?”

Shen Dai muttered: “It’s alright…”

Xiao Die touched Shen Dai’s forehead. It was so hot that she immediately retracted her hand: “Mr. Shen, your body temperature is too high!” She had never seen this scene of an omega in heat with her own eyes. But she knows that if a person’s body temperature is too high for a long time, it’s going to be a big problem.

“It’s alright. The inhibitor…” Shen Dai’s voice was so empty that only a breath left, “The inhibitor will help.”

“Then, do you need a nutritional supplement?” Xiao Die also did a lot of homework. But she was still stunned. Shen Dai looked frightened.

“I’ve taken it.” Shen Dai forced his chaotic brain to parse and transmit the conversation, “Every… five or six hours.”

Xiao Die looked at her watch: “Okay, I’ll remind you when the time comes.” She stood beside the bed with a frown. She felt uneasy in her heart. Shen Dai’s state at this time was not an exaggeration to describe it as being half-dead. His body temperature was rising. His body was full of heat so he was sweating constantly. His whole body also was as soft as mud. With limited experience and knowledge, it is impossible to analyse that this is a normal process when omega is in an estrus period. There are still problems.

Desires brewed and gathered in the body again and his body twitches involuntarily. Shen Dai sank his whole face into the quilt and said in a muffled voice, “Xiao Die, you go out. Please…” He couldn’t be seen masturbating in front of others.

Xiao Die came back to her senses: “Oh! oh! oh!” She embarrassedly exited the room and closed the door. She went back to the living room and sat beside Qiuqiu’s cradle, while using her mobile phone to continue to check the knowledge about the omega’s sex. She always felt that some of those popular sciences were in line with Shen Dai’s symptoms and some were not. When one article said that the first postpartum period of estrus for an omega would be more violent and unstable than before, she got nervous again.

After waiting for more than an hour, Xiao Die saw that the time was almost up. So she took the nutritional supplements from the refrigerator for Shen Dai to take. At this time, Shen Dai could not eat anything else and could only rely on nutritional supplements to supplement his basic energy.

When she entered the room, Shen Dai had fainted again. It was probably because his energy was exhausted. She hurriedly shook Shen Dai awake and squeezed a tube of paste-like nutritional supplements into his mouth.

Shen Dai’s eyes opened a gap and stared at Xiao Die blankly, looking confused. 

Xiao Die was overwhelmed with anxiety: “Mr. Shen, let’s go to the hospital. I’m scared looking at you like this.”

Shen Dai didn’t know if he even understood what she had said but he just shook his head weakly.

At this moment, Xiao Die’s cell phone rang in the living room. She put Shen Dai down and went to answer the phone. The caller ID was Bai Xiangwan.

Xiao Die took a deep breath and answered the phone: “Hello, teacher.”

“Xiao Die, I’m done with the meeting. Are you feeling better now? Do you need any medicine?”

Bai Xiangwan’s voice was calm and generous. Even if the background sound is of a noisy venue, it still has a special penetrating power.

“Oh, I’m fine. Maybe I ate the wrong thing. I’ll just rest.”

“Then can you eat anything at night? By the way, yoghourt is good for the stomach…”

At this moment, Qiuqiu suddenly called out and then babbled. He let out a rhythmic cry.

There was silence on both ends of the phone.

“Is that Qiuqiu?” Bai Xiangwan asked suspiciously.

Xiao Die’s head was about to explode, so she didn’t dare to make a sound.

“Are you with Shen Dai? Are they in your hotel, or…” Bai Xiangwan paused, “Xiao Die, you can ask for leave and tell the truth. There’s no need to lie.” 

“I’m sorry, teacher!” Xiao Die’s mentality finally couldn’t hold back anymore. After all, she was just a little girl who had not graduated yet. She said anxiously, “Actually, it was Mr. Shen. He… he is in estrus period and he wanted me to help him take care of Qiuqiu. He asked me not to tell others. But I… I feel that his state is not normal. He has a high fever and fainted several times. I am so scared. I, I, I don’t know what to do.” 

Bai Xiangwan patiently reassured her: “Don’t worry, Xiao Die. Don’t worry, it’s fine. Okay, speak slowly. Where are you?”

Bai Xiangwan’s steady voice injected a heavy force into Xiao Die’s flustered heart. She took a deep breath again and really calmed down: “At Teacher Cheng’s house.” 

“You don’t be afraid. Just look after Shen Dai and Qiuqiu. I’ll be there soon.”

In less than 20 minutes, Bai Xiangwan really arrived. He wore a special mask on his face. It was a pheromone-isolating mask that he bought at a pharmacy just then. This thing can filter omega pheromones in the normal state from 80% to 90%. But only 40% to 50% of the omega who are in estrus can be resisted. After all, the invasion of pheromone to the body is all-round and the respiratory system only accounts for a few parts.

But it is better than nothing. 

Xiao Die said hesitantly: “Teacher, is it okay for you to go in?” 

Bai Xiangwan had already smelled the omega’s fragrance in the air and he said solemnly: “I have good self-control.” 

“Then please take a look at Mr. Shen. Teacher, Mr. Shen told me that he is fine, that he has always been like this. But I am afraid something will happen to him.” 

Bai Xiangwan walked to the guest room and adjusted his breathing. He opened the door and was welcomed with the confusing fragrance of Epiphyllum. The pervasive attack hit him. His body suddenly heated up and his eyes became dark and obscure. He clenched his fists fiercely and his feet were nailed to the door. He was neither entering nor retreating. 

After taking the nutritional supplements, Shen Dai regained some physical strength. He rolled unbearably on the bed so the buttons of his pyjamas were loosened, revealing a large area of ​​fair and naked skin. Although the inhibitor has already taken effect, the desire cannot be completely suppressed and it will only be much better if he survives after tonight.

At this moment, a clear and gentle pheromone broke through the thick fog and passed to Shen Dai’s neurons. His body trembled. He turned his head laboriously and saw a familiar figure standing at the door. The light in the room was dim and the face could not be seen clearly. But the woody fragrance of elm drifted out in layers.

Shen Dai whimpered in pain and his reason was shouting to warn him not to do anything rash. But instinct made him yearn to be appeased by an alpha. He slowly shrank into the bed, but his eyes were fixed on Bai Xiangwan. The fluctuation of pheromones became more and more strong and uncontrollable. He wants to show his soft belly to lure the attack of the beast. 

Bai Xiangwan grabbed the door frame with one hand, with such force that his joints turned blue. He bit his lip, walked over, and carefully breathed: “Ah Dai, your current situation is not right. I will take you to the hospital.” 

Shen Dai stared blankly at Bai Xiangwan and whispered, “Senior brother…” He stretched out his hand and grabbed the hem of Bai Xiangwan’s clothes. His moist eyes were full of pleading, “Senior brother, help me…”

The blue veins bulged on Bai Xiangwan’s forehead and his eyes were bloodshot. He grabbed Shen Dai’s wrist. All the frantic, violent, and animalistic desires were roaring and rolling in his body. It was itching. His reason and instinct are at war between heaven and man.

Shen Dai was also tormented. His wrists kept shaking. He wanted to push Bai Xiangwan away, but also wanted to get closer. Without those two inhibitors, he must have gone crazy already. But his remaining consciousness was competing with his primal desire for the mastery of the body.

Bai Xiangwan suddenly turned Shen Dai over and Shen Dai exclaimed, “No!”

Xiao Die was stunned at the door. She didn’t know what to do at this time or what this matter would eventually lead to.

Bai Xiangwan let out a low growl and slapped his temple twice with his fist, exchanging pain for sobriety. He pressed Shen Dai’s shoulder and tore off the thin pheromone’s sticker.

Bai Xiangwan was stunned when he saw the flesh-colored scars on Shen Dai’s glands made of tooth marks and surgical incisions.

Shen Dai broke down and cried: “Senior brother, don’t… help me…”

Bai Xiangwan looked at Shen Dai at this time. His heart is tingling. He placed his big hand lightly on Shen Dai’s head. After rubbing it, he said in a hoarse voice, “Ah Dai, don’t be afraid. I will help you.”

Shen Dai couldn’t stop crying while begging for help and for mercy.

Bai Xiangwan fixed the back of Shen Dai’s head and took off his mask. He leaned down and bit down on Shen Dai’s glands with his canine teeth.

A permanent marker is different from a temporary marker. A permanent marker requires canine teeth to penetrate the flesh and inject pheromones into the omega’s glands. At the same time, the alpha’s genitals must form a knot and shoot in the omega’s genital cavity to be considered a complete marker. During the temporary marking, the canine teeth only need to bite the epidermis and at the same time release a comfort pheromone to the omega. This way is done to simulate the permanent marking, giving the omega psychological comfort, which can greatly relieve the omega’s fear, anxiety and pain.

Shen Dai screamed. The pain in the back of the neck made countless messy memories flood into his mind. Those happy and painful, hopeful and desperate, love and hate… all washed his consciousness and his tears flowed even more fiercely.

Xiao Die was immediately glad that her teacher didn’t lose his mind, but the sudden knock on the door made her heart almost stop.

A low, hostile voice came from outside the door: “Open the door!”

*Translator’s note: QMY is here! Hahaha! I’d have to say although being ‘marked’ is traumatising to SD, but I’m glad that BXW gave him a temporary ‘marker’ because this is exactly a slap to QMY’s face. I’m so happy for QMY to at least know what it’s like to lose SD to another man. But if BXW can marry and give SD a permanent ‘marker’, that’s even better. But then again, this story is definitely not going into that direction. Hmm. -K
