APHMOLIR Chapter 1

Arc 1:  The Alpha Who Secretly Got Sterilized Behind My Back _(:з」∠)_

The capital star was shrouded in a bloody storm during the days of the new emperor’s coronation.

The power of the former crown prince and several other princes was uprooted, both openly and secretly. While the majority of the empire’s people celebrated the new emperor’s ascension and praised his achievements, the upper echelons of the empire were filled with tension and fear.

This bloody reshuffling granted the young monarch unmatched prestige, and everyone was struck by the seeming youthfulness of this ruler, whose methods were as swift and fierce as thunder.

Over a month had passed since this thorough reshuffling.

For more than a month, Ye Qin had finally managed to find a moment to rest in his quarters. Upon returning to his chambers, he discovered an unexpected guest.

The air was filled with the sweet scent of lemons.

Ye Qin frowned.

This was the pheromone of an omega, and it was strong—an omega in heat.

What was even more troubling was that, despite being immune to omega pheromones, he found himself reacting the moment he caught this scent.

There seemed to be someone on the bed, but Ye Qin didn’t feel like looking. He turned to open the door, intending to question the palace’s security about whether they had lost their minds, allowing an omega into his chambers.

Just as his hand reached the door handle, the figure on the bed suddenly stood up, grabbing his arm and leaning into him.

The lemon scent invaded his mind like opium. Had it not been for the strict training he had undergone for that person, he would have already lost control like those alphas, releasing his pheromones and letting that stupid instinct take over.

In any case, the omega behind him had already caused him considerable distress. Just as he was about to throw the omega out, he froze when he saw the face of the omega.

“…What are you doing here?!” He stared at Fu Mingxiu’s face.

The omega behind him weakly raised an eyebrow. “I thought you’d ask me first why I turned into an omega—because that question would be easier to answer.”

Fu Mingxiu had always been exceptionally handsome, but as a powerful alpha, his appearance only conveyed a sense of elegance masking the underlying danger and strength.

Now, as an omega—an omega in heat—he struggled to catch his breath, looking fragile, as if anyone could do whatever they pleased with him. He clung tightly to Ye Qin, and through the thin fabric of their clothes, Ye Qin could feel his body, damp with sweat from the heat.

Some of his damp hair clung to his forehead, his lips were reddened from biting them, his brows furrowed as he struggled to resist the tide of heat.

Ye Qin wasn’t in the mood to argue with Fu Mingxiu. He fixed his gaze on Fu Mingxiu’s face, pursing his lips and saying nothing.

“Alright, don’t be angry. I just wanted to ease the atmosphere a bit…” the omega muttered.

Ye Qin furrowed his brows. This version of Fu Mingxiu made him feel uneasy, or rather… at a loss.

In his memories, Fu Mingxiu had always been powerful and composed, even when he had shot him, Fu Mingxiu had calmly put the gun down and walked away without a hint of hesitation.

“I spoke to your guards—those brainless ones—and they let me in directly… I should thank you for not coming to find me and settle scores,” Fu Mingxiu said. He clung even tighter to Ye Qin but still seemed unable to control his body, slipping toward the floor.

Omega in heat was especially weak, and Fu Mingxiu’s ability to speak so coherently was a testament to his incredible willpower.

Although Fu Mingxiu was originally aligned with the crown prince, he was one of the forces secretly recruited by the crown prince. Before Ye Qin’s ascension, few knew Fu Mingxiu was associated with him.

And although Ye Qin had completely uprooted the crown prince’s forces, he had never moved against Fu Mingxiu. To this day, everyone still thinks Fu Mingxiu was just General Fu.

Ye Qin thought to himself with a smile. In hindsight, it was all so ironic.

The omega behind him was on the verge of collapse, leaning heavily on Ye Qin’s shoulder, breathing heavily. “Ah Qin… I feel so bad…”

The omega couldn’t control himself, pressing his face against Ye Qin’s neck, hoping the alpha’s pheromones might ease the burning sensation. But this was akin to drinking poison to quench thirst, as the intense alpha pheromones only made the omega’s heat worse. Fu Mingxiu shut his eyes, his reason burning away rapidly as meaningless sounds escaped his throat.

Upon realizing it was Fu Mingxiu behind him, Ye Qin’s restraint was on the brink of breaking. His pheromones had already been released uncontrollably.

The pheromones of an Alpha and Omega acted like a positive feedback loop, amplifying each other. Despite Ye Qin constantly warning himself not to soften his heart towards this person, he couldn’t help but suddenly turn around and embrace the Omega behind him.

At that moment, the Omega’s body was soaked in sweat. His eyes were lowered, seemingly barely conscious.

His black hair stuck to his temples, and his fair face was tinged with a faint blush. His usually cold eyes were half-closed, with the corners of his eyes reddened. The man who had once been gentle yet ruthless, powerful and composed, now exuded an overwhelming allure.

Just moments ago, Ye Qin had been facing away from him, and the combination of pheromones and the subtle touch behind him had already broken down his resolve. Now, seeing the person who had been on his mind—someone he both hated deeply and loved passionately—his reason was on the verge of collapsing.

He roughly grabbed the Omega’s chin, lifting his head, his expression cold as he demanded, “What are you doing here?”

“What am I doing?” Fu Mingxiu whispered, trying to summon his increasingly blurry consciousness. His long lashes felt heavy, and he struggled to lift his gaze, letting out a low laugh. “Of course, I’m here to find you…”

“How did you become an Omega?” Ye Qin’s cold expression didn’t change.

“Oh, that’s really an uninteresting and not very valuable question,” Fu Mingxiu said, his rut-driven heat gnawing at his consciousness, but he still tried to maintain a semblance of control, pretending to be calm, entirely forgetting that he had just prompted Ye Qin to ask this very question.

“I’m 28 years old. A 28-year-old Alpha can’t suddenly go through a second differentiation, can he?” Fu Mingxiu let out a muffled laugh.

“So, you did this on purpose? You went to the lab and turned yourself into an Omega just to get close to me? Huh?” Ye Qin asked, his tone growing deeper with each question.

Fu Mingxiu, familiar with this little wolf cub, knew he was angry.

He wasn’t bothered by the little wolf cub’s bluster. He openly admitted, “Yes, I went to the lab, took those… I forget the name, but there were several kinds of drugs, and I became an Omega, all to get closer to you.”

Ye Qin’s expression instantly darkened to an ominous level.

“All just to get close to me, you went to the lab?! Do you have any idea how dangerous this procedure was?! Do you know you…” Almost died on the operating table?!

Ye Qin’s voice grew even colder. “You think that by doing this, I’ll go easy on you? Fu Mingxiu, let me tell you, I want you to suffer worse than death!”

His fierce expression didn’t last long before the person in his arms leaned in and kissed him.

The Omega kissed Ye Qin’s lips gently, as if licking a sweet candy.

“I’m almost… tortured to death… and you’re still here, whining…” Fu Mingxiu pouted, dissatisfied.

Ye Qin’s eyes reddened uncontrollably, and the willpower he had been holding onto completely shattered in that moment. He gripped the Omega’s waist, almost ferociously kissing him.

Fu Mingxiu felt his waist being tightly held, and the back of his head was pressed by a large hand. The man in front of him kissed him back in a way that left no room for rejection. It was far more intense than Fu Mingxiu’s gentle kisses. After pulling away, Fu Mingxiu tried to move his tongue, but it felt like he had no sensation left.

The thought flashed through his mind, but Fu Mingxiu quickly had no time to think about it.

The ABO system was truly a terrifying concept. Thanks to his heat, this was the first time in his life he had ever been this interested in ‘that’ kind of thing!

–

Fu Mingxiu lay on the bed, barely alive, thinking to himself.

The Omega heat lasted for seven days. When he first heard about it, he had been taken aback.

At the time, he was an Alpha, so he could only relate it to being an Alpha—seven days?! That would drain all the blood out of you!

And in these worlds, he was only focused on completing tasks; he had never really thought about marrying an Omega. At most, he imagined an AA relationship with Ye Qin. The heat was never part of his considerations.

He never expected to actually experience its power firsthand this time. It felt like all the blood and skin had been drained away, leaving only a thin layer.

He believed he had survived until now entirely thanks to the Omega’s completely unscientific biological traits, surviving seven days of torment without needing to eat! Is this how outlandish the author’s settings are just to get a bit of meat?

What was even more terrifying was… Omega actually had a reproductive organ!

Don’t ask him how he discovered this… Heh.
