The Neglected Beta Wife

Zhai Hengyu was thrown into the Wen family by his father as a stake in a gamble when he was three. He had no say in the matter and somehow became engaged to the Wen family's second young master.

There was no wedding, no marking. He was a Beta, and Wen Yi hated him.

Unexpectedly, the lofty head of the Wen family was the only "good person" among all these powerful elites who treated him like a human being.

He humbly, pitifully hoped to draw a little warmth from Wen Zhe, even though Wen Zhe was his husband's older brother.

After someone played a trick on him, he wandered into a sealed room and ran into Wen Zhe's sudden rut, becoming an object for him to take out his urges on.

From then on, the hidden bite mark on the back of his neck and their fingers entwined beneath the dinner table meant he no longer felt hurt by Wen Yi's philandering.

He had endured too much deceit and abandonment. Unwilling to become a playboy passed between brothers, he silently bore it all and accepted things as they were. Until Wen Yi brought an Omega home, and Wen Zhe pinned him against a wall and marked him as he watched from the shadows.

"I'm not asking you. Divorce him."

*

A powerless Beta could completely put an end to Wen Yi's desire to fight over him.

Wen Zhe was playing with him only because he craved his body. In the end, he would still marry an Omega.

With his heart turned to ash, Zhai Hengyu finally got a divorce certificate and escaped the shackles that had nearly choked the breath out of him. He left without a sound, only to be caught and brought back with ease.

Naked and disheveled, a Beta unable to withstand a complete marking became a fertile bed for an Alpha to sire children.

Wen Zhe's dragon tail coiled around his legs. Its scales were cold and could easily leave red marks.

For twenty-one days, shut away from the light, Wen Zhe drove the inescapable mark deep into his body, creating a bond even closer than a complete marking.

"I'm not your plaything." Zhai Hengyu was nearly driven mad. He punched and bit, but couldn't leave a mark on the dragon scales. "You can never mark a Beta. You're all just beasts in heat."

"I suggest you behave. I'm thinking about whether I could keep you locked up here for the rest of your life." Wen Zhe brushed against the overlapping marks on his neck.

A pretty little cat belongs at home.

P.S. Zhai is the bottom, Wen is the top. First-time partners, one-on-one.

ABO, melodrama, pseudo-NTR, mpreg, dragon top, older man, groveling chase, written for the author's kinks, tons of personal worldbuilding.

Read with caution, and watch out for collisions.
