After Being Forcibly Claimed by an Icy Omega

[Sharp-tongued, naturally seductive Alpha | Ice-cold, actions-speak-louder-than-words Omega]

Sheng Rong is a poor student sponsored by the Wen family. In return, she's tasked with keeping the frail young heiress company. The two share everything and rely on each other, becoming inseparable beta best friends.

Then her best friend is told that she's the Wen family's fake heiress, and their happy days come to an abrupt end.

The Wen family's real heiress earns top grades and makes it from a poor, remote village into one of the country's best universities. After returning from abroad, she becomes head of the Wen family and takes over both its business and Sheng Rong and her best friend.

Wen Jinyuan gently wipes the tears from Sheng Rong's cheek with her fingertip. "Between you and her, I only want one."

Thinking of her frail, frequently ill best friend who needs someone to care for her, Sheng Rong whispers, "Please choose her. She's lost everything."

Wen Jinyuan lures her prey in. "How should I ask?"

While begging her, Sheng Rong does three things: hugs Wen Jinyuan, kisses Wen Jinyuan, and lets Wen Jinyuan mark her. At least Wen Jinyuan keeps her word and doesn't cut off her best friend's medical expenses. Sheng Rong agrees to these little things, done with a few words and a little action.

Until Wen Jinyuan says she wants a daughter. Sheng Rong thinks she's crazy. "But I'm a beta!"

In the end, Sheng Rong can't take Wen Jinyuan's forceful conquest anymore. She leaves her best friend some money and runs away.

Living under an assumed name in a shabby rental, Sheng Rong sends most of what she earns to her best friend for medical expenses.

But she never expects Wen Jinyuan to track her down three years later and wait for her on her broken-down bed.

When Sheng Rong comes home from work and sees her, she's stunned, then starts trembling all over, afraid Wen Jinyuan is going to wear her down to the point of death again.

Wen Jinyuan's eyes narrow as she suppresses her feelings. "Long time no see. Have you missed me?"

Before Sheng Rong can answer, an adorable little kid throws herself into her arms and sobs. "Mommy, we finally found you."

Sheng Rong remembers that on their last night together, she hadn't undergone her second differentiation into an Alpha yet. So how could she have a daughter?

Later, when she hears that Wen Jinyuan's wife died and left her a child, and that Wen Jinyuan only sees her as a stand-in for her dead wife, Sheng Rong immediately packs her bags and leaves. But she runs straight into Wen Jinyuan's cold, wary gaze.

"Are you trying to abandon me a second time?"

Sheng Rong is furious. "We're breaking up. Go find another replacement."

Oh? Another new game.

Wen Jinyuan plays along patiently. "So this is a replacement roleplay now?"

Sheng Rong's remaining words are silenced as Wen Jinyuan presses a finger to her lips. "Shh, our daughter will hear."

Wen Jinyuan is a top-tier Omega: beautiful, dazzling, intelligent, and capable. Beneath her cold exterior lies a ruthless heart.

She takes back everything that belongs to her, including Sheng Rong, the thoughtful, obedient puppy at the fake heiress's side.

She just never expects her good puppy to run away, too.

And she certainly never expects that when she flies over overnight to find her, Sheng Rong will have just come out of the fake heiress's bedroom.

Bonus scene:

At first, Sheng Rong only wants to act sweet and obedient, save money, and run away.

Later, not only is she thoroughly conquered, she also finds herself inexplicably jealous of Wen Jinyuan's "ex," trying to cover the marks on the back of her Omega's neck with her own mark. She can't help comparing herself. "Is she better, or am I?"

Wen Jinyuan sighs helplessly. "...Silly puppy, you're the only one who's ever marked me."
