Everyone at school swears Su Zhan's biggest problem is dealing with the ice-cold school heartthrob, Wen Mo. Cold? Distant? A walking "untouchable prince"? Please.Su Zhan has been watching Wen Mo for years-and he knows the truth: that crisp white shirt hides a wolf. A wolf who smirks when no one's looking, whose "polite" smiles never reach his eyes, and who, if you're unlucky enough to catch him off-guard, will ruin you with a single, deliberate touch.
But Su Zhan never expected hisworld to flip. One minute, he's just... Su Zhan. The next? His beta status is gone, replaced by the chaotic storm of being an omega. And his first heat? It hits hard-right when he's trapped in an elevator with Wen Mo, of all people.
Panic spikes as Su Zhan's pheromones spiral out of control, sweet and heady and dangerouslyattractive. "F-fuck off!" he snaps, scrambling back. "Just... go get me an inhibitor, Wen Mo. Now."
Wen Mo doesn't move. Instead, he leans in, his voice a low, velvety purr that makes Su Zhan's knees weak. "Too late," he murmurs, eyes darkening. "Your levels are already spiking. You're not going anywhere."
Before Su Zhan can protest, there's a sharp sting-a temporary claim, Wen Mo calls it, a "band-aid" for the crisis. But when Su Zhan wakes up the next day, something's... off. A strange ache lingers. A weird sensitivity to Wen Mo's presence. And why does his body keep achingfor more of that low, rumbling voice, that infuriatingly perfect touch?
Oh, and did we mention Wen Mo's been acting differenttoo? Like he knows exactly what he did-and wantsto do it again.
Now Su Zhan's stuck between two truths: 1) He's falling for the wolf who pretends to be a prince, and 2) That temporary mark? It's starting to feel a lot less... temporary.
He was just a chief minister who fell in love with a prince. He expected trouble. But he never expected his love was part of a big scheme.
The prince whom he loved with his heart and soul , never loved him back. The prince was just faking it to gain information from him and give those information to emperor's twin brother.
He was shocked. He was upset when he heard his beloved prince confessing love to the emperor's twin brother.
But he was humiliated to hear the emperor's twin brother's reply.
"All I wanted was information from that useless guard dog of my brother. I never asked you to sleep with him. I didn't know your level goes to the guard dogs."
Would he be wrong if he takes revenge after that ? Would he be wrong if he let them taste their own medicine?
This time he will start the pretend game. Pretend to love that man who called him an useless guard dog.
