AFTER CROSSING OVER, I MARKED THE FEMALE EMPEROR

Heat Cycle

The alluring and fragrant cold plum aroma stirred every sensitive nerve of the Alpha, enveloping her in a whirlwind of sensations.

The adhesive barrier had already been slightly removed, but under Shen Han's warm breath, it seemed to soften even further, its strength waning.

Kneeling forward and with gentle movements, her lips delicately grasped a corner of the sticker and peeled it off from the back of Gu Junwan's neck.

Driven by a subconscious impulse, Shen Han leaned closer to the passed out young woman lying on to the elevated stone, a newfound possessiveness taking hold of her thoughts. She couldn't resist pressing a kiss onto the Omega's flushed skin, a mixture of desire and confusion swirling within her.

Exploring the softness of the beauty with care, she treated it as if it were a delicate and fragile piece of porcelain, bowing her head in reverence to the allure of the moment.

Avoiding the small 'wound' on classmate Gu's neck, Shen Han instead traced the surrounding area gently, her curiosity piqued.

Suddenly, Gu Junwan was startled awake from her unconscious state!

Still groggy and disoriented, a deep sense of fear gripped her heart, her mind racing with thoughts of how she could have slept beside a questionable Alpha.

Despite the Alpha's seemingly innocent actions before, the undeniable urge to mark her now filled Gu Junwan with certainty!

After a brief moment of panic, the inherent tenacity and determination of the Empress, deeply rooted in her being, swiftly brought her a sense of calm.

Though her body trembled slightly beyond her control, her right hand instinctively reached into her backpack pocket, wrapping around the cold scalpel but before she could fully grasp it, a slender hand with well-defined knuckles intercepted her wrist.

The touch was unexpectedly soft, the air around them filled with a dominating scent of cedar that enveloped them both.

The Alpha's pheromones teased Gu Junwan's weakened glands, hinting at a primal hunger, as if she were on the brink of being consumed.

"No, please," Gu Junwan's voice rang out faintly, a mix of humiliation and sorrow evident in her tone.

Her words struck Shen Han like a high-speed bullet, piercing through her chest and flooding her heart with a wave of realization and regret. As she came to terms with her actions, Shen Han's heart swelled with frustration and confusion. She couldn't comprehend why she had acted on such impulses.

Reluctantly, she released the other woman's hand and withdrew from the alluring softness of her body, grappling with the aftermath of their intimate moment.

Suddenly landing on the backside with a bitter expression on her face, Shen Han gestured towards Gu Junwan, who was observing her closely, and vehemently exclaimed, "I didn't mean to! I didn't!"

A faint sheen of moisture clung to her plump, red lips, still carrying the lingering fragrance of the woman, casting an ambiguous allure.

Glancing at her briefly before diverting her gaze, Gu Junwan felt a chill run down her spine, the recent near-marking by the Alpha leaving her with a deep-rooted fear.

Despite her usually sharp intellect, Gu Junwan found herself unable to provide a clear answer in this moment of uncertainty.

What was going on in the other person's mind?

Was it a mere accident, the pheromones spiraling out of control?

Or was the Alpha toying with me like prey?
