[Content Warning: This is not a feel-good story! This is not a feel-good story! This is not a feel-good story! The author likes writing this way. If you are extremely protective of either the bottom or the top, stay away. Anyway, writing it made me happy, haha.]

Song Chongchuan is a top-tier Alpha, the heir of the Song family and a heaven-blessed favorite standing at the very top of the pyramid. Born into the spotlight, he is doted on by everyone. Shen Changsheng, on the other hand, is a shameful illegitimate son of the Shen family, a nobody Beta who is not even entitled to an rut or heat.

Their social standing is worlds apart, and they are like strangers. But Shen Changsheng is still foolish enough to pine for him. Song Chongchuan is a blade coated in honey, and Shen Changsheng is willing to be slowly cut apart by it.

"Shen Changsheng, are you worthy?" he asks the reflection in the mirror.

The Beta in the mirror has red-rimmed eyes. His clean neck still bears the Alpha's savage bite marks, yet he smiles as if he has gained the whole world.

Shen Changsheng uses a carving knife to force a ring onto his ring finger.

He gazes with satisfaction at the silver ring embedded deep in his flesh, then raises his blood-soaked hand with a cheerful grin and says to Song Chongchuan, "Look! You can only be mine for the rest of your life."

Later, Song Chongchuan pins him against the floor-to-ceiling window, brushes a fingertip over the scabbed bite mark on the back of his neck, and smiles cruelly.

Ah, is this what happens when you love the right person?
