The cold rain continued, beating on the exterior glass windows.
Xu Junyu is Beta.
His father remarried, and the woman he brought back brought with him a son who was two years younger than him - Wen Yichen, Alpha.
There is no blood bond, and a piece of remarriage certificate forcibly binds two strangers into nominal brothers.
Beta cannot smell pheromones.
This sensory gap made it impossible for Xu Junyu to understand Wen Yichen's hidden surge.
Wen Yijiang's susceptible period is approaching.
Alpha's physiological instinct never listens to the persuasion of reason. The closer to the attack, the clearer the burning sensation in the glands on the back of the neck becomes. Instinct stubbornly pulled him closer to Xu Junyu over and over again. Those secret loves that had been suppressed for several years were all buried under this brotherhood, and only he knew it.
Xu Junyu didn't notice at all.
He sat at the coffee table and collected the scattered books. When he raised his eyes, he saw Wen Yichen sitting silently not far away, with a serious look on his face. His brother's thoughtfulness was a matter of habit. He leaned forward slightly and his eyes fell on the young man's slightly pale face.
"Yichen, I see you're feeling very uncomfortable. Would you like to go back to your room and rest early?"
A light breath came to my face.
Wen Yichen's muscles suddenly tightened, and his glands became hot, almost causing the accumulated pheromones to leak out. He moved back with restraint, his long eyelashes drooping, covering the obsession and restlessness surging in his eyes.
The voice was very soft, almost cold.
"I'm fine."
Reason clearly reminded him that they were just brothers reorganizing their family.
But Alpha's uncontrollable instinct has already surpassed the wall built by his identity, and his heart and eyes are only tilted towards Xu Junyu. The high wall still stands, but he is the only one who knows that the undercurrent under the wall has been surging for a long time.
Intention: love
