The Beta Beauty Fought Over by Two Alphas

[Teaser for the upcoming novel His Someone Else's Wife [ABO] below]

Shu Jing is a Beta, with one ex and one current boyfriend.

His childhood friend and older ex is an Alpha, a prestigious research institute consultant: a refined, composed, fatherly powerhouse.

His younger current boyfriend is a Beta, a small-town pastry chef: a considerate, enthusiastic, clingy puppy.

These two men, so different in personality and status, saw each other one day through a doorway.

Inside, the current Beta had Shu Jing pinned against the entryway wall, one hand supporting the back of his knee. "Does that feel good, big brother?"

Outside, the former Alpha clenched the token of their engagement, listening to the sounds from within.

Afterward, the Alpha became Shu Jing's colleague, still as possessive as ever. "I never agreed to break up back then."

The Beta offered him the whole package of rides to and from work and packed lunches, then sneered, "Who throws themself at someone just to get cheated on?"

Their rivalry was heating up fast when an accident happened.

Shu Jing was pinned against a lab bench and kissed by the Alpha when the Beta suddenly appeared. Their two powerful pheromones clashed, shattering every pane of glass in the room.

It turned out that the current Beta was actually an Alpha too. Knowing about Shu Jing's pheromone hypersensitivity and his aversion to Alphas, he had carefully disguised himself to get close to him.

Unable to take any more after learning the truth, Shu Jing went away with an expedition team for half a year.

When he returned, to his surprise, the two men who had once fought tooth and nail over him had changed. Or had they?

The current boyfriend held a spoonful of dessert to his lips. "Try this new flavor, big brother."

The ex draped a freshly knitted shawl over his shoulders, gently rubbing the edge of his collarbone with a fingertip. "I can accept you having a lover, Xiao Jing."

The current boyfriend: "??? Backstabbing me??? So you're the real one, then?"

The ex: "You were the one who took the underhanded route first."

The current boyfriend: "Unlike certain people, I care about big brother. I'll let him choose: old love or new?"

Weren't they supposed to agree that if they kept fighting, they'd both lose? Why are they arguing again?

Shu Jing: ... (his expression turning cold)

Finally remembering their place, the two said in unison:

"Big brother gets to decide!"

"I'll do whatever Xiao Jing says."

Shu Jing, with both bite marks on the back of his neck aching: It's getting cold. Time for another expedition. (smiles)

[Upcoming novel] His Someone Else's Wife [ABO]

An Omega with raven-black hair and snow-white skin, pale and fragile.

After his husband, the Federation's highest-ranking official, died in battle,

he left him not only endless grief and an enormous inheritance,

but also things far graver, more dangerous, and more alarming.

His late husband's coffin still lay in the church, not yet buried,

yet every faction had already gathered in the cemetery.

The law stipulated that for high-ranking Omegas, marriage was both a bargaining chip and a resource.

Even widowed, they could remarry without having their mark removed.

Political enemies watching him like a hawk, stern and cold officers, meticulous and impartial doctors...

And a mysterious masked figure in a distant corner.

They were all waiting to see

who would manage to claim this cool beauty, born in the slums, refined and beautiful, who had eyes for no one but his husband, yet was coveted by everyone.

But what if...

the last surviving bloodline of the Federation Marshal was already growing inside this widow?

-

The Omega, veiled in black, held the memorial tablet of his husband, who had died too young.

His belly was faintly rounded as he stood outside the cemetery gates and calmly announced to all the greedy, covetous onlookers:

"From this day on, I am the next head of the Fu family."

The wind lifted the edge of his veil, revealing an unmistakable ring of old bite marks on the skin at his neck, a symbol of his faithfulness to his late husband.

-

And yet.

No one knew that when night fell beside the moonlit terrace, the Omega's robe slipped open slightly, revealing black stockings.

His leg curled around the man, squeezing him into a soft, voluptuous curve like a ripe white peach.

A peach blossom goes from elegant to fiery in just one season.

"He never satisfied you. He was so useless he should have given up his place long ago." The man slipped through the gap in the curtain. "When are you going to give me a title?"

"Do you really want my son to call a dead man his father?"

The Omega trembled, tears shining on his lashes. Yet his reddened eyes remained clear. He reached out and patted his lover's face, disdainful and condescending.

"When you manage to... win the position of chief senator,"

"then you can come ask for my hand, sir."
