Song Zhichu is a beta.
In his sophomore year of college, he caught a whiff of an alpha's pheromones and mistook it for having just presented as an omega. On top of that, while presenting, he theatrically collapsed into the arms of his nemesis.
Before passing out, he viciously added Yan Huai to his hit list.
Doctor: Someone deliberately induced your omega readings. Otherwise, you would have been a beta your whole life.
Song Zhichu: !!!
Doctor: Your gland hasn't developed properly, and the alpha who brought you in is highly compatible with you. You might be able to stabilize your readings with his pheromones.
Alternatively, you can get a shot of custom suppressants. They're ten thousand per dose.
Song Zhichu shut his eyes.
No way... He turned to Yan Huai and held out his hand. "Bro, lend me some money."
Yan Huai gave him an amused look. "No."
Song Zhichu's first heat hit at the seaside villa. Burning and limp all over, he pushed open Yan Huai's bedroom door and shoved the alpha behind it, both fierce and aggrieved. "I feel awful..."
Yan Huai didn't move. His breathing hitched, and emotions Song Zhichu couldn't understand roiled in his eyes. "Do you know who I am?"
Song Zhichu's eyes reddened, and he practically ground the words out through his teeth. "...Yan Huai."
Yan Huai chuckled softly, clasped the back of his neck, and lightly traced his burning gland with a fingertip.
"This time, it's not my fault. You're the one who came to me."
Yan Huai was a top-tier alpha, born into a prominent family and regarded by everyone as a favored son of heaven.
He couldn't stand Song Zhichu. It was bad enough that a beta could be so beautiful, but he was also fair-skinned and all smiles with his friends, while barely giving Yan Huai the time of day.
So Yan Huai was always picking on him. When Song Zhichu got mad and started pushing and shoving him, he would be close enough to smell Yan Huai.
But one day, Yan Huai realized that whenever he got even a little close to Song Zhichu, his pheromones would become impossible to control.
He wanted to hold him and kiss him.
He successfully used his pheromones to accelerate the growth of Song Zhichu's underdeveloped gland, despicably guiding him into becoming a sweet-smelling omega.
Early on:
Yan Huai: Student Song, do you think I could earn extra credits by reporting you? I've been short on credits since I came back from my six-month leave.
Song Zhichu: ...Are you insane?
Later on:
Yan Huai corners Song Zhichu against the wall: Song Zhichu, don't stop liking me. I'll agree to anything else you ask.
Song Zhichu, his ears bright red, kicks him: Don't say that here, someone's coming!
A gorgeous omega who's all bark and secretly soft x a scheming, black-hearted alpha
