“Ah, if I don’t have it flushed out regularly, it becomes a problem.”At once, that chaotic party of theirs flashed through my mind. I narrowed my eyes and sneered.“So you don’t just ooze pheromones all the time—you also do this every week?”Nathaniel offered without the slightest sign of offense.“If you like, I can give you an invitation.”“No thank you.”I glared at him and spat out, “I’ve seen how little you respect Omegas. I don’t need to join in.”For the first time, he reacted.“You think I disrespect Omegas? My mother was an Omega.”He gave a short, incredulous laugh. Extreme Alphas are almost always born of extreme Omegas—he was the perfect thoroughbred, the ultimate crossbreed, and there was no arguing otherwise. Nathaniel corrected me as if my comment amused him.“I’m not looking down on Omegas—I disdain anything inferior.”For the first time, I had no words. He crushed others so casually—as though it were perfectly natural.To him, Omega, Beta, or Alpha didn’t matter. Even if the other were an Alpha like him, his attitude would remain the same. Power was his only criterion.I remembered the haughty gaze that had looked down on me as I ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) lay on the floor.If that man ever got murdered, the culprit would be me. If I’d had a gun, I wouldn’t have hesitated to blow that smug head off.I could no longer endure his pheromones, so I pulled out a cigarette and lit it. I inhaled a lungful of acrid smoke; as it left my lungs, his cloying scent receded like a retreating tide. I felt a measure of satisfaction and regained my composure.“Why bother visiting a worthless Beta so early? Unless your law firm went bankrupt and you’re hunting for empty offices.”I asked coldly on purpose. Nathaniel studied my still-bruised face with interest, then spoke.“Your face is in surprisingly good shape.”“Disappointed?”I snapped back. I’d spent all weekend dosing painkillers to reduce the swelling—how was I in good shape? The great Extreme Alpha had lost his edge, it seemed.No need to ask how he looked. His cane was within arm’s reach. He must struggle to walk without it.I half-wished the handle were carved into a snake or crocodile head, but no—just an antique silver design. As I regretted the missed opportunity, Nathaniel ignored any trace of hostility and asked,“You’ve never had sex before?”His sudden question made me freeze. He continued as if it were obvious.“It’s just intercourse, after all. You’re not even a virgin—why hold back so much?”Heat flooded my face.“I—”My voice trembled. I swallowed and then burst out, “I will never be forced again.”Oh.By the time I realized my mistake, it was too late. I snapped my mouth shut, but Nathaniel frowned at me.“‘Never again’?”I forced myself to hold his gaze, though I wanted to look away. “I’ll only do it with someone I choose.”Nathaniel smiled faintly, sensing my meaning.“So you hated sleeping with me that much?”“No—I just hated being coerced.”I corrected him, and he pressed on insistently.“That doesn’t sound like you hated it.”I fell silent, unable to answer. Nathaniel, who’d been watching me, suddenly reached out. His cool fingers touched my cheek without warning.I nearly dropped my cigarette. Unable to hide my shock, I stared at him. Nathaniel, expression unreadable, slowly brushed my hair behind my ear. His long, graceful fingers traced my bare ear, then his thumb and forefinger deliberately caressed my earlobe. His eyes held mine as he gently handled my ear—breathing became difficult.When his hand moved behind my head and tugged, I couldn’t resist; I was helplessly pulled toward him.“…….”Nathaniel pressed his nose to my hair and inhaled deeply. My heart pounded like crazy. My hand grew numb and vision blurred—I shut my eyes. A soft sigh whispered at my ear.“You really are a Beta.”He murmured in a bittersweet voice. When his lips closed over my earlobe, my lower body stiffened so much I could hardly breathe. His low words wove into my ear along with his breath.“If you’d been an Omega, I’d have gotten you pregnant.”In that moment, if he’d kissed me, I would have let him. I didn’t think of what he’d done to me, or how much I hated him. Only desire roared through my body. My sole wish was to throw myself on this desk, to lick and clutch his naked flesh everywhere.If I could have sex with him right then, I would have given him everything.When Nathaniel let me go, I felt as limp and content as if we’d already made love numerous times. Slowly opening my eyes, I saw his face before me. Would he kiss me? Would his wet tongue sweep through my mouth?He stroked my flushed cheek. I thought I saw the faintest smile. Nathaniel’s hand moved down toward mine—and I didn’t notice until it closed around the cigarette between my fingers.…Huh?I watched, stunned, as he lifted the cigarette to his lips. Red ember flared for an instant, then he exhaled a long plume of smoke. But there was no scent of tobacco—only a dizzying sweetness.His pheromones poured over me like a waterfall.He shifted his weight, bracing on his cane. Straightening his back, he tapped it lightly against the floor. Click—the sound of metal on tile. Nathaniel smiled, cigarette in his mouth. My head still foggy, I fought to reclaim my reason.“Your fancy pheromones won’t work on me. I’m a Beta.”He laughed softly at that.
