Husband, Why Haven't You Hit Your Rut Yet?

* Lu Wan was doted on and spoiled as a child, and after marriage, Zhong Lin indulged him so much that he could get away with anything. Before leaving home, he had just finished reading a wealthy-family ABO novel about forced love. After a car accident, he forgot everything about his real life and became convinced that he was an Omega with a defective gland and no pheromones, forced to marry a top Alpha to save his family. That all-powerful, cold, domineering Alpha, who could destroy the Lu family with a snap of his fingers, was none other than the husband who stayed by his hospital bed every day to care for him. At the hospital, Zhong Lin wouldn't let him get out of bed on his own or skip even one pill. He even personally kept track of how many glasses of water he drank each day. Lu Wan was secretly alarmed. The stories hadn't exaggerated: top Alphas really were extremely controlling. To save his family, he decided to lie low for now. He began plotting how to use his charms to cloud the capitalist's judgment, take advantage of his heat to wear out the capitalist's body, get pregnant with an heir as soon as possible, and seize the entire Zhong family's fortune in one fell swoop. There was just one problem: he couldn't release pheromones. * To keep the Alpha from discovering his defective gland, Lu Wan secretly bought a bottle of perfume. Every day after showering, he sprayed a couple of times on the back of his neck, pretending it was his pheromones. But for several days in a row, Zhong Lin showed no reaction. Lu Wan could only hint at it: "Don't you think the air around us feels a little different?" Without giving anything away, he exposed his fragrant nape to the Alpha. Zhong Lin set down his documents and held out a hand. "Come here." He pulled Lu Wan into his arms by the waist. The man's nose pressed against the back of his neck as he sniffed leisurely for a while. Lu Wan was nervous. "Can you smell it?" "Mm." "It's leaking pretty badly." Zhong Lin stared at him with a dark gaze. Lu Wan immediately grew wary. Could his pheromones be so potent that they were enough to trigger a top Alpha's rut? * A concussion means he mustn't be upset, so the doctor told Zhong Lin not to rush to correct him. He should go along with the patient's understanding of things and guide him gradually. They had known each other for five years and been married for two. Even though Lu Wan had forgotten everything, he still instinctively relied on Zhong Lin and did as he said. The forced marriage existed only in Lu Wan's head. As for why Zhong Lin didn't set him straight... The doctor's warning not to upset the patient was one reason. Another was that it was indeed hard to resist an Omega with a defective gland who went into a chaotic heat five times a month. [Bonus Scene] One night, Lu Wan was so exhausted that his consciousness was hazy when he suddenly felt a sharp pain at the back of his neck. He instantly snapped awake and hurriedly covered it with his hand. "You can't permanently mark me!" Zhong Lin remained calm. "Too late." Damn it! Top Alphas were all despicable creatures like this. They waited until an Omega was weak-willed to make their move, then, once the deed was done, casually informed him: You're completely mine now. When Lu Wan stayed silent for a long time, Zhong Lin prepared to pull away. Lu Wan wrapped both arms around his waist. "You can't leave." The Omega's cheeks were flushed, but his expression was serious. "After a permanent marking, we have to stay joined for a while, or the mark might not take." "How long?" Lu Wan answered cautiously. "At least... tonight." Zhong Lin nodded thoughtfully. "All right." He would remember that. [After the accident, the protagonist has a confused perception of reality.
