My Perfect Omega - Chapter 126
After having dinner at a fancy restaurant with Marchioness Richter, Leila returned home. She was startled by Lucas’s overwhelming pheromones the moment she stepped out of the carriage.
Before she could assess the situation, Emma came running in a panic.
“Ma’am!”
“Emma, what’s going on?”
“I don’t know! Master suddenly collapsed, and the doctor said it’s his rut cycle!”
“…Isn’t it too early for his cycle?”
“Yes, but…”
Emma relayed everything she had heard from the doctor. The irregularity of his rut cycle was likely due to the excessive use of suppressants Lucas had taken in the past while searching for Leila.
Leila, unaware of the past situation, felt deeply sorry. She had only felt grateful for barely surviving, but now she realized that Lucas’s sacrifice had played a part in her waking up safely.
Leila, unable to stay still, asked Emma.
“Then where is Lucas now?”
“Master usually suppresses his rut cycle with medication since he became an adult. But because it became irregular and hit him hard, he’s in the most secluded annex of the estate. He said he didn’t want to affect the betas…”
“I understand, Emma.”
Leila hurried off.
“Miss, don’t go like that. Change your clothes first.”
Anna advised Leila, who was heading straight for the annex. Knowing how tormenting the rut cycle could be, Leila knew she couldn’t heed Anna’s advice this time. But Anna added reasons methodically, blocking her path.
“When you had your heat cycle, you couldn’t eat or sleep properly. You couldn’t even wash up. At least change into something comfortable.”
“…Alright. Anna, please hurry.”
“Leave it to me.”
With a determined look, Anna quickly walked with Leila. She removed all of Leila’s cumbersome clothing and accessories, and swiftly washed off her makeup.
Leila changed into simple indoor clothes and came back down to the first floor. The doctor, waiting below, gave a brief explanation.
“The rut cycle of a hyper-dominant alpha lasts about a week. I recorded it before when I was with the Duke’s household, so I’m sure of it. He releases an immense amount of pheromones, unimaginable compared to usual. Even as a beta, I can feel it strongly now…”
Leila didn’t know where the annex was, but Lucas’s pheromones pulled her naturally in that direction. For alphas and omegas, pheromones were more than just a scent.
They often conveyed words, sometimes emotions, through pheromones.
The doctor, watching Leila being led as if hypnotized, fell silent. Anna, Emma, and Oliver, who were following her, also stopped.
Even as betas, they felt the powerful alpha pheromones pricking their skin, barring them from approaching. The alpha’s possessiveness over his omega was clearly evident in his pheromones.
Stepping onto the grass, Leila arrived at the quaint, charming annex. Standing before the cottage-like structure, she grasped the doorknob with trembling hands.
Although his pheromones seemed to beckon her inside, she recalled the doctor’s caution. Just as she resolved to be careful in helping him, the door swung open and hot hands pulled her inside.
“Oh—?”
Caught in Lucas’s embrace in an instant, Leila realized that Anna’s and the doctor’s advice were of no use. Her clothes were torn away in a flash, leaving her clinging to him with nothing on.
Her body had already responded to his pheromones, becoming wet below, but the sudden invasion of a hard presence made her squirm and moan. The sensation of something hot and firm penetrating her was like being pierced by a scorching iron rod.
His voice, as heated as the presence inside her, thickly whispered into her ear.
“Ha, why now…”
It was unmistakably a human voice, yet it sounded like a panting beast.
