No! I’m an Alpha!

# Flirtatious, irreverent Alpha bottom x Scheming, cunning Beta top

The notorious playboy Xie Wangyuan is the top Alpha of the wealthy Xie family. He isn't interested in soft Omegas and prefers Betas. Rumors of his nightly exploits spread while he was abroad, and after returning home, he made headlines all over again with a party full of Betas.

Xie Wangyuan, bored of Betas throwing themselves at him: Aren't there any more interesting, exciting little Betas?

A bystander nearby: Have you heard of Qin Yu?

Qin Yu was once a Beta illegitimate son forced to live in the shadows. Now he's the president of the Qin Corporation, with an iron grip and a reputation for being untouchable. Plenty of Alphas have tried to take him on and come away worse for it.

Xie Wangyuan: A Beta who's even more impressive than an Alpha? Now that's interesting.

Once he starts pursuing Qin Yu, Xie Wangyuan leaves no stone unturned. One time, he corners him right in the restroom.

"What's so great about drinking with those old men?" Xie Wangyuan says, taking his fill of the slightly tipsy Beta before adding, "Why not give me a try?"

All he gets in reply is a cold, "I'm not interested in Alphas, Second Young Master Xie. Have some self-respect."

Xie Wangyuan: Funny, I'm only interested in people who aren't interested in me.

Xie Wangyuan has no idea what self-restraint means, and gets more and more brazen, ruining several of Qin Yu's blind dates like a jealous lover catching him cheating.

"I'm experienced. These Omegas don't look like they'd be any good." Xie Wangyuan shamelessly sings his own praises. "No need to thank me, but remember to repay me properly."

After days of pestering him without success, Xie Wangyuan decides to make a grand gesture and give Qin Yu a "surprise" at his birthday party.

On the night of the party, Xie Wangyuan finally finds his chance to corner Qin Yu outside the bustling, noisy banquet hall.

Before he can deliver his "surprise," Xie Wangyuan finds himself pinned in a quiet corner instead.

Under the dim light, the Beta is no longer his usual cool, distant self. His gaze is obsessive and dangerous.

Suddenly deprived of all air, Xie Wangyuan can barely breathe. It takes him a moment to react, then he bites down hard on the tongue ravaging his mouth and shoves Qin Yu away. "...Fuck!"

The Alpha's hazy eyes and ragged breaths are all Qin Yu's doing. Satisfied for the moment, Qin Yu smiles with narrowed eyes. "They say Second Young Master Xie is a shameless playboy. Seems they were exaggerating."

Xie Wangyuan braces himself against Qin Yu's shoulder, catching his breath before stubbornly retorting, "I don't like people who are too forward."

Qin Yu's thumb brushes over Xie Wangyuan's lips, then his hand slides down his chest. "But can those Betas... make you feel this good?"

Xie Wangyuan is stunned. He throws a punch, tosses out, "Just you wait," and bolts with his pants in hand.

The airy threat has no force behind it. Qin Yu wipes the corner of his mouth, lowers his eyes to the blood on his fingertip, and slowly smears it away.

From the day he saw Xie Wangyuan again, he never intended to let him go.

- Bonus Scene -

The living room curtains are tightly shut. The moment Qin Yu steps inside, he's slammed against the wall and held in a tight embrace.

The restless Alpha buries his face in Qin Yu's neck, urgently searching for the gland at the back of it, wanting to leave his pheromones on the Beta, but comes up empty.

Qin Yu pins him onto the sofa, which has been turned into a nest with clothes, rubs the red, swollen skin under the suppressor patch a couple of times, then bites down hard.

Surrounded and soothed by a familiar scent, Xie Wangyuan clutches the shirt Qin Yu changed out of the night before and curses through trembling breaths, "Qin Yu, you bastard! I'm the A..."

- Notes:

1. Xie is all talk, a pure playboy and rebel with a ton of defiance and the hardest mouth in the world. Every day, he's thinking about how to top.

2. Qin is a schemer with a bit of a teasing streak, and the best at playing his partner.

3. Xie is 24, Qin is one year older, and they're both 187 cm tall.

4. Both are each other's first, happy ending. This is an indulgence written to suit the author's tastes. Not recommended for readers who are strongly attached to a particular character. This couple is inseparable.

Theme: Love is seeing yourself reflected in someone's eyes.
