I'm the youngest general in the Empire. After my second gender differentiation turned me into an Omega, someone set their sights on me.
Wrong. They'd had their eye on me all along.
During the Swarm War, the Empire's youngest general turned the tide at a critical moment and crushed the insectoid forces. Humanity had won yet again, and the people of the Empire celebrated.
The mother ship docked at port, and its hatch opened. A tall figure in a sharp military uniform appeared in the doorway. Beneath the young man's cap, his face was cool and strikingly handsome. When he raised his eyes, he was like a drawn sword.
When the holographic footage reached the Star Net, countless people became obsessed with him.
This was the Empire's youngest general, Luo Lun, a top-tier Alpha.
No one knew that the handsome, formidable Alpha everyone admired had begun a second gender differentiation.
He had become an Omega.
In the Imperial Palace, the young emperor extended his hand toward Luo Lun, palm facing down. A ring symbolizing royal authority adorned his slender finger.
Ximeng Willis, a tyrannical ruler who had clawed his way to power over a mountain of blood.
Luo Lun gazed coolly at His Majesty, then knelt on one knee and kissed the ring.
This was the Empire's most solemn and ancient ritual, performed only at a new emperor's coronation. It signified submission and the pledge of one's loyalty.
Before Luo Lun could rise, Ximeng Willis crouched down and met the handsome young man's gaze, their faces almost touching.
"My general, you seem to have an Omega's scent about you."
Luo Lun's expression did not change. He replied calmly, "Your Majesty, I'm an Alpha. Alphas always desire Omegas."
Ximeng Willis's lips slowly curved into a smile, his gaze terrifying.
One day, the young general was pinned to a desk by the back of his neck. Omega pheromones poured from him, and the formerly cool, proud young man looked restrained and dazed. The tyrant behind him leaned down and whispered in his ear, "You're right. Alphas always desire Omegas, and now I'm going to have an Omega of my own."
"No..." The moment he opened his mouth, he was already falling apart. When the Alpha's fangs pierced his skin, Luo Lun was so humiliated he wanted to die, yet, damn it, it felt good.
