Does the Poor, Honest Beta Have to Run Away Pregnant Too?

[New story now available: Should a Poor Little Beta Also Be Put Through the Crematorium? Coming soon: After a Beta Gets Tangled Up with a Mad Dog Alpha, He Gets Pregnant]

Yu Weibai was an ordinary Beta who wore large black-rimmed glasses all the time. His long hair covered most of his face.

At the company, he was the person people noticed the least, yet also the one they remembered most easily.

Because Yu Weibai wasn't just a Beta. He was an honest, somewhat spineless Beta who didn't know how to say no and always took on the work his colleagues couldn't finish. Just as he hadn't refused the marriage his Omega younger brother had dumped on him.

His husband was the second son of the Qi Group, a notoriously debauched Alpha who spent his days carousing. He didn't like Yu Weibai and rarely came home. Even when he did, he always carried all kinds of pheromones on him.

Yu Weibai didn't dare ask about anything, thinking life would carry on blandly like this forever. Until a banquet at the old family home, where bad weather forced him to stay overnight.

There, Yu Weibai met Qi Zhishu, his husband's uncle.

The true head of the Qi family, a rare S-rank Alpha whose violent pheromones were too much for an Omega to bear. Since Alphas' pheromones repel one another, it was said that his future partner would most likely be chosen from among Betas. But Betas' reproductive tracts atrophy, making conception difficult, so the family chose an heir from within its own ranks.

But Yu Weibai never expected that this lofty Alpha would notice him.

Qi Zhishu taught him to say no, to stand on his own two feet, and to escape his spineless life.

Yu Weibai got divorced, changed jobs, and rejected his family's arrangements. He thought his ex-husband's uncle was a good man.

The Beta couldn't sense the S-rank Alpha pheromones practically spilling from him, thick with possessiveness and control, branding every inch of his body.

Right up until the moment the Alpha bit through the back of his neck, Yu Weibai still thought he was a good man.

An Alpha's pheromones couldn't remain in a Beta's body for long, so the Alpha took endless pleasure in injecting his pheromones and leaving his mark on the Beta.

The atrophied reproductive tract was opened, too. Qi Zhishu looked with satisfaction at the Beta covered in his marks, yet the emptiness inside him remained far from filled.

*

Yu Weibai got married again, this time to his ex-husband's uncle.

He thought his new husband was a little obsessive, but that was all right. He treated him well.

It was only that sometimes, he was more than Yu Weibai could handle.

Until he found the surveillance cameras filling the room on his husband's computer, the album full of photos and videos of him sleeping, and the tracking app on his phone, hidden in the necklace the Alpha had put around his neck himself.

Yu Weibai had just discovered he was pregnant and wanted to surprise him: ...?

The Beta was scared. He had to run.

The car hadn't even reached the airport when it was intercepted.

“Knowing there's a tracker, where did you think you were going?” The Alpha held him in his arms.

Yu Weibai struggled. “No.”

Qi Zhishu let out a low sigh by his ear. “I taught you to say no, not so you could say no to me.”

Should a Poor Little Beta Also Be Put Through the Crematorium?

Blurb:

Lu An was adopted by the Lu family. His birth parents abandoned him at an orphanage when he was young. Because he was beautiful, Madam Lu took him home as an Omega, but he differentiated as a Beta just two years later.

He became a child no one wanted again. He still lived with the Lu family, but no longer had his adoptive parents' affection.

His stepbrother, the Alpha who had everything from birth and was the darling of heaven, witnessed it all.

To avoid being kicked out of the Lu family, he climbed into his stepbrother's bed.

The next day, Lu An was weak and sore all over as Lu Jinzhi gripped his chin. His stepbrother's cool, distinguished face gave no sign of the previous night's madness. His detached voice pierced Lu An's eardrums: “Remember, you're only a Beta. You can never be Madam Lu.”

Lu An remembered.

As long as he wasn't kicked out of the Lu family, that was enough.

He got what he wanted, and seemingly more than he had bargained for.

Lu Jinzhi gave him better treatment than he'd received as the Lu family's youngest son, kept him by his side at all times, and even took him to all kinds of events without any attempt to hide him. Yet at night, while warning him over and over, he left an Alpha's mark on the back of his neck: “Don't covet what you shouldn't. I can't give it to you.”

Lu An didn't covet anything.

He just didn't want to be alone.

Every time, the Alpha's mark injected the Beta's nape with a full dose of pheromones. They would disappear by the next morning, but the Alpha still took endless pleasure in marking him. The marks on Lu An never seemed to fade. What's more, because a Beta's reproductive tract atrophied and made pregnancy difficult, the Alpha took possession of that, too, without hesitation.

Lu An was terrified.

When he heard that Lu Jinzhi was about to enter an arranged marriage, he even felt relieved. He planned to follow his original plan and spend the rest of his life in a scenic little town.

Unexpectedly, before he could leave, he got a pregnancy test result.

Lu An panicked. He couldn't imagine what Lu Jinzhi would do if he found out, so he hurriedly took the “payment” Lu Jinzhi had given him over the years and ran away.

He hid for five years, but Lu Jinzhi still found him. Looking at the child clinging to Lu An's leg, the man's face darkened as if it could drip water.

Lu An thought he had discovered the truth.

But then he heard him say, “Come with me.”

Lu An: “?”

“The child doesn't bother me, and I won't hold it against you for being with someone else.” Lu Jinzhi looked at him, staring at the man he'd searched for like a madman for five years, his gaze dark. “You are the one who gets to be Madam Lu. I can give you everything you want.”

Lu An stared at him blankly, then slowly replied, “But I don't want any of it.”

Only then did Lu Jinzhi finally realize the truth.

The Beta didn't love him.

But how could he not love him? After Lu Jinzhi had given him his whole heart and everything he had, how could he just walk away?

Lu An could only ever be his Beta.

*An exceptionally clear-headed Beta shou x an Alpha gong who can't mark him and can only go crazy

Qi An was a Beta.

His Alpha husband cheated on him.

Qi An planned to get a divorce.

Recently, he'd picked up an Alpha named Chu Rong. He was very well-behaved.

Qi An thought he was a little puppy.

Only later did he suddenly realize this wasn't a puppy at all. It was a rabid dog.

Tell me, what kind of puppy puts a tracker on its owner, carries handcuffs around at all times, and constantly wants to put them on its owner? And even... bites its owner like a madman.

Only then did Qi An finally realize that Chu Rong was an Alpha.

The Alpha would always appear silently behind him, glaring at his business partners with a sinister look, his eyes like knives, as if he could cut off the hand of anyone who touched Qi An.

Qi An: “An Alpha can't mark a Beta, and a Beta can't get pregnant.”

Medically speaking, a Beta's reproductive tract atrophies, and the chance of pregnancy is less than 1%.

Chu Rong stubbornly insisted, “That just means he hasn't marked you enough times, or deep enough.”

Qi An thought it was absurd for an Alpha to mark a Beta, but Chu Rong loved it.

And pregnancy... that was nonsense.

Until, in the end, he stared blankly at the pregnancy test result in his hand.

So Betas can get pregnant, too?
