Chapter 17.1

Calrad completely forgot what he was about to do at the touch of Seira’s soft skin. He didn’t actually intend to cause her pain with the way he grabbed her in the first place. His actions were perhaps due to his instinct to leave a trace of his own, like the way he used to before.

The quality of his pheromones changed in an instant, his anger turning into a strong desire to possess her entirely. Her cheeks and neck were stained scarlet with the pure-blooded Alpha’s heavy pheromone that captured the Omega, making her spread her legs wide.

Calrad’s eyes were bloodshot as he gazed at her with pure lust. Her lips parted with the force of his strangling grip. It was only when he lowered his head close enough that he could feel her short and struggling breaths.

“Your Majesty!” Baron, who smashed the drawing room’s doors and dashed inside, shouted with eyes widened from shock. “What are you doing?”

“Get out, Baron Jeff,” the Emperor glared at his intrusion.

Despite Calrad’s order, Baron did not back down.

“She is no longer your fiancee. She is the head of Askan, one of the three pillars that supports the empire. As the head of the same duke’s family, I cannot turn a blind eye to this!”

“Right, she’s not my fiancee anymore…” Calrad muttered under his breath. His eyes then turned dark as he looked at Baron and questioned him, “But what other reason would you need to take an Omega as an Alpha?”

Baron’s fists curled with suppressed anger, “I don’t care if she agrees to the relationship. However…” he paused as his eyes glanced at Seira who was panting.

Calrad snorted at Baron’s words.

“Well, all right. Then, would you like to check how wet my lovely Omega is?” the Emperor challenged Baron.

Still clutching her slender neck, he put his other hand over her breasts. He slipped a hand in a slow downwards trajectory, the sensation making her pheromones much denser.

“Stop that! What nonsense is this…” Baron said, trying to stop Calrad.

But as he saw Seira’s expression, Baron immediately stopped and just stood in disbelief.

“You…”

The emotions that showed on her face were completely different from what one would expect. There was no fear nor distress. It was far from being sad as well.

Her lips parted as she looked at Calrad and spoke, “You said you wanted to know what scent I would make once I manifested.”

Calrad looked at her mesmerizing purple eyes. His eyebrows raised at the unbelievable control she had of herself despite his powerful pheromones. Her free hand which was resting on her lap lifted and touched Calrad’s cheek lightly, whereas the other moved over his hand.

Her touch was too gentle to even feel threatened or nervous about.

“It makes me happy that I could answer your question,” Seira whispered.

At first, it felt like a gentle tickle on the cheek. However, as soon as he let his guard down from the sweet scent that invaded his nostrils, it became a bitter and fierce storm that wrapped all over and struck him.

“Ugh….”

Calrad hurriedly grabbed the sofa’s back for support. He felt his head go in circles, and his eyes could only see white. His parted lips sucked in air, his mouth salivating and his stomach heating up at the same time.

Seira’s pheromones were a terrible temptation that could captivate the mind and body, making them kneel down in surrender. It was an irresistible fascination, like that of the forbidden fruit which led men to betray God with just one bite.

“Do you like it?” she asked in a lulling whisper, gently tracing her fingertips over his cheek, eyes, nose, and the tip of his nose. She touched his lips however she wanted, but he couldn’t even say a word like his mouth had been locked and the keys were thrown far away.

Lust… hunger for her taste… the sweetness.

There was nothing Calrad could do but to endure.

“Seira…”

Baron faltered and took a step back.

He came to the realization that not so long ago, the extent of the pheromones she had used to help him was extremely restrained. The pure-blooded Omega’s pheromones were frighteningly cruel as it was determined to destroy the Alpha. If he was to be swept away by the pheromones that covered Calrad now, he too would’ve collapsed helplessly.

“I don’t think you have anything more to say, so I’ll leave.”

Seira rose to her feet and moved away from her ex-fiance.

“It was nice to see you again, Calad,” she bid him farewell with a soft voice.

She left the drawing room leisurely, and both Calrad and Baron couldn’t catch her. They could only pursue her persistently with their eyes.

In front of the imperial palace, there was not a single soul to be found. Not even a servant or a knight who was supposed to protect the palace. Of course, the carriage that took her was nowhere in sight as well.

‘You did it, Seira… you handled yourself right,’ she told herself.

As she entered the road leading to the central garden while pretending to be calm, Seira saw a familiar carriage. Relieved at the sight of it, she hastened her pace towards the vehicle.

Aven was standing by the carriage. He opened the door for her as soon as he saw her walking briskly towards him. However, Seira shook her head and suddenly climbed into the driver’s seat.
