Blurb:
Naive, spoiled younger Alpha x patient, gentle older Omega
The day Lin Mo was born, Pei Xinyi stood beside her cradle.
When Lin Mo stumbled as she learned to walk, Pei Xinyi was the first to rush over and hold her.
When Lin Mo got into trouble and was punished, Pei Xinyi knelt outside the study and pleaded on her behalf.
When Lin Mo suffered through her heat, Pei Xinyi endured the restlessness stirred by the Alpha’s pheromones and changed her cold towels again and again.
Lin Mo fell for the school belle and tearfully begged Pei Xinyi to introduce them.
Eyes lowered, Pei Xinyi silently straightened Lin Mo’s collar. Her voice was as gentle as a pool of still water. “All right. Auntie Pei will help you.”
Back then, Lin Mo didn’t understand why, whenever she brought a girlfriend home, the scent of cedar on Pei Xinyi grew so bitter it made her want to cry.
Until her twentieth birthday, when she brought home a new girlfriend and, right in front of Pei Xinyi, threw the coming-of-age gift she’d received into the trash.
“Pei Xinyi, my mom just picked you up off the street. Stop acting like some elder who gets to boss me around. Aren’t you sick of it?”
Pei Xinyi didn’t get angry. She quietly cleaned up the mess, then went into the study and wrote a transfer request.
Before leaving, she took one last look at the Alpha she had raised herself and said softly, “Xiao Mo, you’ve grown up. You don’t need Auntie Pei anymore.”
Pei Xinyi left without looking back.
Lin Mo went mad.
Without Pei Xinyi’s pheromones to soothe her, Lin Mo’s rut hit harder and more fiercely than ever.
She searched frantically for Pei Xinyi, then saw her familiar figure in the news coverage of the new head of the Domain Balance Executive Office taking up her post.
On the screen, Pei Xinyi wore a crisp uniform, her expression cool and distant.
Beside her stood an Alpha from a prominent family. As Pei Xinyi gave her inaugural speech, the Alpha gently brushed a loose strand of hair from her forehead.
Pei Xinyi didn’t pull away.
In that moment, Lin Mo heard something inside her heart shatter.
On a stormy night, she knocked on Pei Xinyi’s door and clung desperately to her legs, eyes bloodshot.
“Auntie Pei, teach me how to win back the Omega I lost…”
