Scheming, seductive Commander O x Madly devoted enemy general A
Xie Yunci, the youngest commander of the Xuange forces in the Dasheng Empire, was composed, steady, and unfathomable. Three years ago, during a battle on the snowy plains, he aimed his gun at a blood-soaked man from Beilin, but didn't pull the trigger. That night, a severe injury to his gland cost him his pheromones and heat cycle for good, turning him into a "fake Beta."
Ivan Volkov, the sharpest blade in the service of Beilin's empress, was a battle-mad, unruly man. For three years, he'd scoured every secret channel, searching for the person who had pointed a gun at him before turning away: someone wearing a silver mask. All he knew was that the man was the "Xuange Commander" of Dasheng. Beyond that, he had found nothing.
A political marriage brought the two nations to the negotiating table. Ivan, Beilin's envoy to escort the bride, was to choose the most obedient Omega from the roster and take him home to marry. He casually flipped to the last page and picked a civil records clerk named Lin Xiaoman: gentle, quiet, and utterly nonthreatening, nothing like the cold eyes he remembered.
What he didn't know was that Lin Xiaoman had never been the one meant to marry him.
On their wedding night, red candles burned bright. After the nuptial wine went down, Ivan, hazy with the effects of the drug, tore open his bride's clothes. But when he bit down, he couldn't smell any pheromones.
No scent, no heat. The person in his arms was far too calm to be an Omega who had just been marked.
And the person pinned beneath him was looking at him in the darkness with the same cold eyes he'd seen on the snowy plains three years ago.
