In the Enigma’s Embrace

Ruan Shuyang always believed his fiancé, Pei Siming, was his salvation. He never expected the other man would personally hand him over to a brutal Alpha who took pleasure in maliciously marking Omegas. After a desperate escape, he overheard Pei Siming sneer to a friend: “Ruan Shuyang? With his lowly background, even touching him would dirty me.” Stumbling away in shock, he collided with a strange “Alpha.” Just then, his hormones went haywire, triggering an unexpected heat, and his suppressants failed. The “Alpha” gave him a temporary mark, soothing him. It felt like icy dew sprinkling over lily of the valley. Ruan Shuyang thought once the temporary mark faded, he and the stranger would have no further connection. He never imagined that days later, his body would begin uncontrollably craving that person’s pheromones. He developed pheromone dependency. Suppressants couldn’t overcome his body’s desperate yearning. He secretly tried to find information about the man. To his astonishment, the man turned out to be Pei Siming’s half-brother, the true heir of the Pei family, the young master Pei Siyue. Moreover, after initially presenting as an Alpha, Pei Siyue had undergone a secondary differentiation, becoming an extremely dangerous Enigma—one who could even mark Alphas. ** In the top-floor office of the Pei Corporation headquarters, Ruan Shuyang wept and trembled, trying to break free from the tall Enigma marking him. “No… no more…” The Enigma’s pheromones were overwhelmingly potent and domineering, causing the Omega’s frail body immense suffering. Pei Siyue’s voice, husky, intoxicating, and brooking no refusal, sounded by his ear: “Endure it a little. It will… be over soon.” Whimper… you said that last time too, but it took so, so long… Ruan Shuyang’s heart cried out in protest, but the invasive Enigma pheromones left him so weak he couldn’t form a complete sentence. ** Pei Siming never expected to see Ruan Shuyang again at the Pei family gala. This Omega, whom he had never taken seriously and considered a mere plaything, seemed transformed. The lily of the valley appeared to have received the finest nourishment. Ruan Shuyang, with his bright eyes and snow-white skin, nestled softly and delicately in the arms of his elder brother, Pei Siyue. Pei Siming’s eyes instantly burned crimson with rage.
