Can Betas Get Dumped and Then Chased After, Too?

Chi Ran was the most ordinary beta imaginable. He had no family to rely on, no supernatural abilities, and a stutter, so he could only get by doing odd jobs.

To earn money, he went to deliver supplies to the army. But one dark night, he was dragged into a room by someone he couldn't see, who pierced the back of his neck with sharp canine teeth.

With his back pressed against a hard, burning-hot body in the darkness, Chi Ran was overwhelmed by the forceful, intense pheromones until his eyes grew damp. He cried, "I'm only... just a beta, not... not an omega."

Soon, the person restraining him loosened their grip, and he hurried to escape.

Not long afterward, people from the military district came to his door and invited him to be the general's personal doctor.

Chi Ran was taken away for a physical examination. The results showed that all of his bodily fluids contained substances that rapidly healed wounds and could calm psychic power rampages.

In this era, healing abilities were the rarest of all.

The next day, Chi Ran met the legendary alpha general who had never known defeat, Fu Wangzhao.

He sat upon an ornate throne, his short hair a deep shade of blue-black. With handsome, sharply defined features and an expressionless face, he looked down at Chi Ran like a god.

Chi Ran's gaze darted away, and his heart raced.

He accepted the job.

One day, Fu Wangzhao suffered a severe arm injury, the bone exposed and blood pouring out.

Chi Ran was horrified and wanted to call a doctor, but Fu Wangzhao pulled him into his arms and kissed him without a word, devouring him with wild intensity.

Flesh grew over the hideous wound, and it gradually healed.

Fu Wangzhao pushed Chi Ran away with a cold expression, as if he were nothing but an object to be used and discarded.

Later, Fu Wangzhao was the one who said they would only kiss. He was also the one who roughly pushed Chi Ran onto the bed, and the one who made him take the morning-after pill afterward.

Chi Ran lowered his head and blinked rapidly, his eyes reddened. "I'm just a beta. I... can't get pregnant."

Fu Wangzhao looked down at him, his voice cold as ice. "You'd better not. Don't even think about bearing my child."

Chi Ran knew that only an omega whose pheromones were highly compatible with Fu Wangzhao's was qualified to bear his child.

He was not worthy.

He was only a bed partner with no status or dignity. Even when the dog he considered family died, Fu Wangzhao still threw him onto the bed, making him have sex through his tears.

Yet on the eve of Fu Wangzhao's engagement to that omega, Chi Ran discovered that he was pregnant.

-

Chi Ran ran away, vanishing without a trace.

Overwhelmed by emotional turmoil, Fu Wangzhao entered his rut early and suffered a psychic power rampage.

He smashed everything in the entire villa to pieces. When the doctors arrived, they were terrified. One of them cautiously suggested, "How about we find you an omega..."

Fu Wangzhao's eyes were bloodshot, as if soaked in blood. He roared, "Get out. Bring Chi Ran here."

Later, amid the agonizing moments of countless psychic power rampages, Fu Wangzhao finally understood.

Chi Ran was only a beta. He had no rut or heat, couldn't smell Fu Wangzhao's pheromones, and could never be marked or claimed by him.

That was why Chi Ran could leave whenever he wanted.

The only one trapped was Fu Wangzhao himself.

A cold-blooded, arrogant alpha gong who gradually grows more human in the latter half x an adorable, empty-headed, pure-hearted beta shou

Reading Guide:

1. HE. The beta will not turn into an omega.

A bittersweet romance, with plenty of dog-blooded tropes including, but not limited to, running away while pregnant and the chase-back-to-win-your-wife's-heart trope. Readers who mind these things or are extremely devoted to one character type are advised not to read. Thank you for understanding!

2. Content warnings

Both leads are each other's first and only love.

The gong is pretty unhinged, especially in his intense possessiveness. The shou will inevitably get hurt during this process.

As mentioned, if you come across content you dislike, you can simply stop reading.

Written purely to indulge my personal tastes, so please don't take it too seriously. Thank you for understanding. (Bows)

Wen Ning was once a pampered young master, doted on by his family. Then his family fell into ruin: his father went to prison, his mother committed suicide, and unable to repay his enormous debts, Wen Ning was sold to a nightclub.

In a private room, he kept his head down and listened as several important clients discussed how much a beautiful omega like him should fetch for his first night.

"I want this one."

At the sound of the voice, Wen Ning looked up and froze. The familiar yet somehow unfamiliar face belonged to a boy who had shed his youthful awkwardness and grown into a tall, striking man with sharply handsome features and intensely captivating pheromones.

It was him, Shen Mingxuan.

Wen Ning's eyes welled up, and he lowered his head. The person he least wanted to see him in this state was Shen Mingxuan.

They had met as students. Shen Mingxuan was the only person Wen Ning had ever loved.

Shen Mingxuan took Wen Ning back to his villa and ordered coldly, "Take off all your clothes, lie on the bed, and spread your legs."

Wen Ning stared at him, his eyes reddening. The alpha he had known hadn't been like this. Shen Mingxuan used to bring him breakfast, patiently help him with the questions he got wrong, and carry him to the infirmary...

"Mingxuan..."

Shen Mingxuan said coldly, "You're not worthy of calling me that."

After that painful and humiliating night, Wen Ning became Shen Mingxuan's secret lover.

The alpha was never kind to him, yet he took him roughly again and again, as if venting his anger.

Only later did Wen Ning learn that his father had ruined Shen Mingxuan's family. The alpha had dropped out of school and shed who knew how much blood and sweat to reach his current position of success and prestige.

So Shen Mingxuan had paid a fortune to buy him back for revenge. That sweet time they had shared in the past had only ever been Wen Ning's one-sided fantasy.

At a dinner party one day, someone asked Shen Mingxuan, "You've kept that little sparrow by your side for quite a while. What's the deal, do you like him?"

Wen Ning heard Shen Mingxuan reply in a cold, grating voice, "He owes me. I want him to have a child for me."

Half a year later, Wen Ning became pregnant. Shen Mingxuan grew a little less rough and cold, and would occasionally stroke the omega's swelling belly.

Watching his profile, which looked almost gentle, Wen Ning thought that Shen Mingxuan really did want a child that badly.

On the day the baby was born, Wen Ning suffered a difficult labor and unbearable pain. In the end, they had to cut open his abdomen to take the baby out.

Weak and powerless in his hospital bed, Wen Ning saw Shen Mingxuan carefully holding the baby, a rare smile on his face. Exhausted, Wen Ning closed his eyes, feeling free.

-

One day, Shen Mingxuan came home carrying Wen Ning's favorite cherry cake, only to find that the omega and his suitcase were both gone.

The cake fell to the floor and broke into pieces.

He searched the entire villa. The only place he found a note was on the baby, who was not yet a month old. It was in Wen Ning's handwriting, and read:

I've paid back what I owed you.
