Muzi was bright and exceptionally capable, but she was a beta.
Still, being a beta had its advantages.
No heats, no influence from pheromones, and the ability to stay perfectly clear-headed at all times.
The projects she led never went wrong.
No one at the company questioned her authority.
But no one knew that the woman who seemed so cool and detached by day was entirely different at night.
There was someone in the basement of her home.
-
Late at night, after a shower, Muzi let her long, wet hair hang loose, threw on a dress in the walk-in closet, and made her way down to the basement.
The basement had only a narrow exhaust fan. Silver moonlight filtered through the tiny window, split into fragments.
From the places the moonlight couldn't reach came faint, restrained, pained gasps.
Muzi listened quietly for a while, then switched on the basement light.
The naked young man sat with his knees drawn to his chest, panting hard.
When he realized someone had come in, his feather-like lashes quivered. Slowly, he crawled over to her.
He carefully wrapped his arms around Muzi's lower leg. His skin, long deprived of sunlight, was so pale it was almost transparent, and the blue veins showed clearly beneath his slender fingertips.
"Master..." The young man's voice was hoarse. He rubbed his delicate face against Muzi's calf, pleading, "Please, mark me."
Muzi looked down at his flushed, swollen gland and spoke slowly after a long pause.
"Disgusting..."
Reader's guide:
An ABO novel with a battle royale among male contenders, featuring a female Doctor.
The female lead is a beta. She isn't affected by pheromones and doesn't go into heat, so no one can tempt her. She's a naturally cold-blooded, ruthless woman.
There are three male contenders in this story. I only mentioned one in the blurb because I'm terrible at writing blurbs.
Here's a brief introduction:
Male contender No. 1: A sensitive, delicate, soft, and delectable little Omega, the female lead's unrelated younger brother. His greatest wish is to be marked by her. He's sick and twisted.
Male contender No. 2: An Alpha pretending to be a beta, posing as the female lead's biological younger brother. He's taken countless suppressants to keep her from finding out he's not a beta. A sly, unhinged wolf in sheep's clothing.
Male contender No. 3: The female lead's rival, her equal in every way. He spends his days and nights longing to conquer her. A domineering, possessive, top-tier Alpha.
As for who the male lead will be in the end, don't ask. I have no idea either.
Theme: There is a beauty, and I yearn for her to the point of madness
