A Quick Marriage and Love with a Noble Beta [GB]

[Female Alpha, male Beta, gender-bender, the self-restrained lose control]

Top Alpha Yun Yan chose a Beta husband for herself. It was a marriage of convenience.

When their marriage was announced, countless suitors were heartbroken. After all, with Alpha-Omega romance all the rage, choosing an ordinary Beta instead of an outstanding Omega had to mean true love!

What the public didn't know was that Yun Yan was facing a serious pheromone abnormality. Her Beta husband had made achievements in medical research, and she also needed a personal assistant who wouldn't be affected by any pheromones.

She'd heard he was cold and highly efficient at work.

More importantly, when she looked into him privately, Yun Yan was drawn to his indiscriminate dislike of Alphas and Omegas.

This man had repeatedly berated bosses and coworkers who let their heats interfere with work, earning the honorable record of changing companies three times in one month.

Unfeeling, loveless, devoted to the rat race. Perfect.

Yet, a few months into their marriage...

Her distant, cold husband suddenly became sensitive and brooding. When her illness flared up, he even offered her his neck, which had no gland for her to bite, his eyes flashing with an unreadable plea.

Alpha Yun Yan, teetering on the edge of losing control: "...?"

-

Song Yuan had always believed that Betas, free from the control of desire, represented the future of human evolution. He also knew that few Alphas or Omegas would understand his views.

Then he met Yun Yan.

Not only did she refuse to give in to her impulses during a pheromone crisis, she was even so ruthlessly self-restrained that she worried her strength might hurt a fragile life.

Song Yuan watched coolly and did his job, developing a special suppressant according to her wishes. But after the first clinical trial perfectly controlled her condition, he realized he was losing control.

He began to hate that he had no glands, hate that he had no pheromones to soothe her, and hate that he was far from the husband best suited to her.

On nights when Yun Yan wasn't there, he couldn't stop himself from walking to her door. He pressed himself against it in anguish, hopelessly searching the air for pheromones he couldn't even sense.

Song Yuan never submitted, until... he bowed his head to Yun Yan.

"Please, I beg you..."

"Mark me."
