A female Beta named Luo Xi arrived at the capital's prisoner-of-war camp on the Green Velvet Poppy Star. Petite and beautiful, she looked just like an Omega, yet her bounty as a prisoner of war stood at a staggering five hundred thousand. She was a Class One prisoner.
The towering, burly Alpha prisoners slapped their cell doors and jeered.
"Hey, cutie, what did you do to become a Class One prisoner? Do you have some special ability?"
"You're wearing a bite guard, too. Can Betas bite people?"
"Did you bite off an interstellar outlaw's favorite toy? If so, you'd be a hero to the whole universe!"
"Hahahahahaha!"
Luo Xi had no special ability, and she hadn't bitten off an interstellar outlaw's favorite toy. She was just an ordinary Beta who had tried to sacrifice herself for a cause but failed. The interstellar outlaw Golan revived her with an escape pod, brought her back, and sold her into servitude to pay off her debt.
She could only regain her freedom once her prisoner value reached zero.
Working at the camp only reduced her prisoner value by one point per day. Fortunately, Luo Xi had a skill: she could repair mechs, and she had experience as a mech copilot.
Determined to return home someday and reunite with her father, she began a diligent career as a wage slave. First she became an external mech repair specialist at the Capital Mech Academy, then a temporary copilot for the academy's students, and finally the specially appointed copilot of the female Alpha Antonia, accompanying her to an energy star for a mech tournament.
Her opponents laughed at Antonia for choosing a Beta as her copilot. Everyone knew Betas weren't physically fit to pilot a mech as the lead pilot, which meant that if Antonia were injured, no one could take her place and keep the mech in the competition.
But Antonia's mech went on a rampage across the energy star. While everyone else's mech ran out of energy, hers could still fight for dozens of hours.
Luo Xi made a name for herself in a single battle, attracting the attention of the lofty Golan.
A Class One prisoner. A top-tier copilot.
She accompanied Golan to many planets she had never set foot on before and experienced countless perilous, grueling battles.
The day her prisoner value hit zero, she finally relaxed her tightly strung nerves, overjoyed at the thought of going home to reunite with her father.
Golan, the top Alpha born in the endless night of a frontier star, a legendary interstellar outlaw whose motto was "Submit, or die," personally helped her remove the prisoner collar from her neck.
He saw the bite marks her ex-boyfriend had left on the pale skin at the back of her neck. His icy blue eyes narrowed dangerously. His slender fingers clamped around her delicate neck and pinned her against his chest. Silver hair fell around them as his sharp canine teeth pierced the skin at her nape, sinking deep as he released his pheromones without restraint.
The petite Beta struggled fiercely in the tall Alpha's arms. "I'm a Beta. You can't mark me! Let go!"
"Is that so?" His soft, wet tongue leisurely licked her wound. The man's low voice made her shiver like a blade's edge. "Choose: submit, or die?"
