Give Me Your Pheromones [Showbiz]

[Cool, fragile, depressed Alpha top x carefree, mad-dog Alpha bottom]

Both of them are messed up. The only question is which one is crazier.

Shen Hualou became an Alpha late in life and is also allergic to suppressants. During his rut, he gets sick, crazed, strong, and vicious, biting anyone he can get his teeth into.

One time, his rut hit while he was with Ying Tingxian. "Stay away from me. It's for your own good." Ying Tingxian didn't move, but Shen Hualou stumbled and fell into his arms. Yet leaning against Ying Tingxian soothed his rutting agitation.

His mind went hot. "Bite me." Ying Tingxian froze for a moment. "Are you sure?" Shen Hualou, impatient and restless, kissed him outright. Afterward, he repeated, "Don't talk. Bite me." His voice was fierce and harsh.

The next second, canine teeth pierced his gland and injected pheromones. It was plainly an Alpha marking another Alpha.

In the end, all Ying Tingxian got was, "Thanks!" Just as cold-hearted as he had been back then.

At eighteen, Ying Tingxian had a love affair that left its mark on his soul. But before that summer was over, his lover was gone. He spent three years depressed, repeating the name Shen Zhuo, until "he" appeared at his most desperate moment.

He looked exactly like Shen Zhuo, but his name was Shen Hualou, and he was an Alpha. Still, he was the only light Ying Tingxian could grasp. But that absurd marking extinguished even the last glimmer of light. He was tired. He didn't want to keep lying to himself.

He hadn't expected that when he stopped trying to get involved, the other man would pursue him relentlessly.
