Submission [ABO]

Xie Lang first met Jiang Li at his younger brother's wedding. She was a fragile, beautiful omega, a gift from her family to the royal family, a bride forcibly taken by his lecherous younger brother, and his... future sister-in-law.

He took the arm of the bride, who was enveloped in the scent of mint, and casually led her to his younger brother, going through the motions without much interest.

But from below the stage, as he watched the bride and groom exchange rings, he rubbed the arm she had held. The scent of mint still lingered there.

The powerful suppressant abruptly stopped working, and his rut arrived early without warning.

The second time they met was in the death prison. On the night of her wedding, his younger brother died a violent death. As the prime suspect, she was taken to the empire's most notorious death prison, a place that made even Alphas blanch.

And he became her interrogator.

In the middle of the night, beneath the rain and thunder, he rushed there through the storm. She was soaked through, the white, holy veil clinging to her body. Her brows were drawn together, her face pale and frail, the vulnerable gland at the back of her neck exposed.

The Alpha's bold, violent pheromones rampaged through the cell. He was like a beast that had not eaten in ages.

He gave her three choices: the execution ground, the death prison, or... his bed.

“Sister-in-law,” he said, toying with a coarse interrogation whip. “My patience is limited.”

She runs, he pursues; coercive romance, love and hate, and a whole potpourri of melodrama.
