Chapter 2: Offense

For an alpha to release such pheromones, it could only mean that Chi Zhuo had mistaken him for an omega.

This thought made Ji Chenxi raise an eyebrow slightly.

He wasn't sure whether to find the situation more amusing or to feel more offended. He knew he was more attractive than the average alpha, but being mistaken for an omega was a first for him.

Ji Chenxi's eyes grew colder. He reached for the large hand tightly gripping his throat, immediately feeling the tension in the muscles tighten even further.

Feigning fear, he looked up, only to meet the alpha's eyes, which were filled with undisguised ferocity and killing intent.

It was clear that Chi Zhuo was highly guarded against him, yet his pheromones had already betrayed him, clinging to their "prey." Rather than conquering or overwhelming him, the pheromones seemed to be coaxing Ji Chenxi's own to emerge.

A highly contradictory behavior—an inner battle between reason and instinct.

At that moment, Ji Chenxi was very glad he had worn the inhibitor ring.

Otherwise, such a potent dose of high-level alpha pheromones would have driven him crazy by now. No alpha liked the pheromones of another alpha; they naturally repelled each other.

Normally, the presence of strong pheromones from his own kind would irritate Ji Chenxi, but it would still be bearable. This time, however, it felt different.

The pheromones of this alpha, who was slightly stronger than him, unexpectedly stirred a rare sense of conquest within Ji Chenxi—like a seasoned hunter no longer satisfied with small prey, craving the challenge of a larger, more dangerous beast.

The intense scent of tequila, spicy and biting, sent a thrilling shock straight to his spine.

The spike of spiritual power he had gathered gently twirled between his fingers. Pressed against the wall, Ji Chenxi lowered his head, pretending to be frightened, so as not to reveal the strange glint in his eyes.

As he lowered his head, a section of his pale, white neck was exposed. The black-haired Alpha leaned in close, his hot breath falling heavily on that spot, faintly carrying the scent of roses.

Chi Zhuo's mind grew increasingly clouded, driven by an intense desire to mark. He even found himself involuntarily moving closer to the pale neck, but then he noticed the other person's body seemed to flinch ever so slightly.

Ji Chenxi, who was merely trembling with excitement, waited for the other to come closer. If they got just a bit nearer, he might be able to tear open the other's carotid artery. However, after pressing him against the wall, the Alpha made no further move.

Huh? Had his intentions been detected?

That couldn't be!

Ji Chenxi slightly tightened the hand that was gripping the other's, trying to pull it away. Sure enough, the hand around his neck tightened further.

At this point, the pain of suffocation spread from his throat.

"What are you doing here?"

Another wave of hot breath brushed Ji Chenxi's face, tinged with the faint scent of blood. In an instant, he realized the other was using the pain to regain his senses.

"Shouldn't I be the one asking what you are doing?" Ji Chenxi coughed lightly, as though uncomfortable.

The Alpha, who had been controlling him so forcefully from the start, looked incredibly dangerous, yet his grip loosened a bit as he asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
