After the Disabled Beta Became the Gloomy Colonel's Comfort Object

[Beta Pretending to Be an Omega, a Pitiful Little Thing] vs. [A Crazy Alpha Who Can't Say What He Means], groveling redemption, alpha-beta romance, childbirth

He Ying was a beta, but someone had remade him into a fake omega and eventually sent him to the side of a distinguished alpha.

His pheromones were fake too. It was only because his beta pheromones had the highest compatibility with the young master's that he became the other's "stain."

Betas had to soothe an alpha during his rut, but unfortunately, He Ying's pheromones were the lowest grade of all: they were pungent and nauseating.

The alpha hated him but couldn't leave him. Every time He Ying followed him around, he got a mocking laugh and a sneer: "Aren't you disgusting? Stop following me."

He Ying said nothing, yet he still injected himself with omega pheromones every day. Whenever the alpha needed him, he would appear.

The beta stayed by the alpha's side as he endured his rut again and again, and then accompanied him to military academy, where he became the brightest star of his generation. Watching the alpha from below the stage, He Ying counted the money he had saved and decided it was time to leave.

He had an unearned gland and pheromones that weren't his. He should have been an ordinary beta all along.

But the alpha wouldn't let him go. He Ying was pinned to the bed as the other issued one warning after another: "You're my omega. Where do you think you're going?"

"Once I graduate from military academy, we'll get married. Then you won't be able to leave."

"He Ying, you know I hate betrayal more than anything."

Unfortunately, He Ying had betrayed him from the very beginning. His presence in the alpha's life had been a mistake. The alpha didn't love him; he had only fallen for He Ying's inferior pheromones.

He Ying still ran away. But before leaving, he saved the pheromones he had been injecting and left the alpha with these words:

"Xing Yi, I wish you happiness."

.

Betas could get pregnant too, but a beta who had been deceived was never destined to find happiness.

He Ying discovered that he was pregnant, but the doctor told him that a fetus couldn't survive without its alpha's pheromones. The other heartbeat inside him had stopped long ago.

The beta entered the hospital alone and left by himself. In the end, he was left with a scar on the back of his neck that would never heal.

He Ying had thought he would never see Xing Yi again. But when they met once more, the alpha didn't blame him. He only looked pained when he saw the scar on He Ying's lower abdomen. The beta didn't understand. He heard the other ask in a quiet voice:

"Why is there a wound here?"

Why had a wound that could never heal, year after year, been left behind, one that tied their bloodlines together?
