Even Elderly Omegas Must Be Force-Matched

Lu Ning goes to the neighborhood office to file her retirement paperwork and is told she needs to undergo genetic matching.

Lu Ning: Are you people blind? I'm fifty years old. I'm well past childbearing age. What matching are you talking about?

Neighborhood Office: That's right. You're at the ideal age for an Omega to give birth. As a friendly reminder, your next heat is due in three months. You should choose a suitable Alpha as soon as possible so you can get through your upcoming heat.

Lu Ning: I think there's something wrong with your brain. I haven't gone into heat in three years. Where is this heat coming from? I'm going to file a complaint. This is elder Omega abuse!

With the three-month deadline approaching, Lu Ning wakes in the middle of the night. The secret cravings in her body leave her at a loss. Is something wrong with her, or is something wrong with this world?

Why would she still be having heats when she's about to retire…

Lu Ning is on the verge of a breakdown after searching every pharmacy and failing to buy a single suppressant. She's almost ready to drag an Alpha off the street... ahem, ahem...

Trembling, she dials the string of numbers the neighborhood office gave her three months ago.

"Hello? This is Xi Weijin."

The man's voice on the phone is so hot that Lu Ning nearly drops the phone in her hand.

She coughs softly, finding it unusually hard to speak: "Hello, my name is Lu Ning. The neighborhood office said..."

"I know. You're my Omega."

Because of a genetic atavism issue, Xi Weijin is nearly thirty and still hasn't been matched with a suitable Omega.

The genetic matching center sends him a matching notice, informing him that he has a perfect genetic match with an Omega in the prime of her life.

Before meeting this Omega in person, Xi Weijin is deeply worried that she will find him too old compared with younger Alphas.

He takes special care to make himself look younger, from his hairstyle and clothes to the way he speaks, doing his best to imitate the manner of young people today.

But when his Omega sees him, she frowns and says, "Where did this kid come from? Weren't you supposed to be thirty-eight?"

He hears the disdain in her voice and thinks of what he learned after asking around: his future Omega claims to be fifty and only likes spending time with people her own age.

If he handles this badly, he could lose his Omega.

He explains, "I got some work done before coming. Also... I'm actually fifty-eight this year."

A female Omega who doesn't overthink things and just wants to enjoy retirement VS a male Alpha who first worries he'll be rejected for his age, then does everything he can to hide it
