Because Ji Jixuan liked it, the anklet stayed on. After a while, Xu Lin got used to having it there. The rut seemed to have changed Ji Jixuan in many ways. He spent more time at home that year than in the previous two years combined. The two of them were almost inseparable. Their earlier days of just talking under the covers had become a luxury. Ji Jixuan always turned off the lights. Xu Lin would usually lose consciousness by the end, or simply pass out. He couldn't believe that the person who now…-

Ji Jixuan had been coming home much more often lately. Ever since his rut, he was around the house significantly more. He was still busy. Once he'd recovered, he threw himself back into work, but unlike before, he now did most of it remotely from home. He only went out when he absolutely had to be there in person. In the first two years, he'd been so busy he might not come back for months at a time. But now, no matter how late it got, he always came home. Even if it was just to spend a few hours with…

"Why didn't you die instead?" "If you ever want to die, do it far away. Don't cause me trouble." "I hope you don't differentiate into an Alpha." "What's wrong with being an Alpha?" "It worked! It worked!" "Every single person in the Ji family is rotten to the core." "People like you will never come to a good end... Karma will come. Mr. Ji was the first. Young Master, you'll be the second." "Xuan..." "Xuan-ge!" Ji Jixuan opened his eyes. Xu Lin was hovering above him, concerned.…

The cigarette between his fingers burned down slowly. Ji Jixuan stood motionless for a long time, the accumulating ash threatening to burn his fingers. He crushed the cigarette butt and walked inside. He stood by the bed, looking down at the sleeping Xu Lin. "Xu Lin." He called his name. Xu Lin gave no response. He went to the study, took a pill from the cabinet, returned to the bedroom, pried open Xu Lin's mouth, and placed the pill under his tongue. His fingertip was damp, brushing against the tongue…

Ji Jixuan became exceptionally clingy. He wouldn't let Xu Lin out of his sight for even a moment. The first few days of his rut were the hardest, spent entirely in bed. Xu Lin was tossed around relentlessly. He was grateful he was a Beta with decent physical condition. If he'd been weaker, Ji Jixuan might have actually killed him. With Xu Lin's help, Ji Jixuan's cravings eased slightly. His mood stabilized enough that he wasn't constantly demanding Xu Lin's attention, giving Xu Lin brief…

What answered him was an eerie silence behind him. Hearing no response, Xu Lin was about to turn around when his waist was suddenly seized. His feet left the ground, and he was yanked backward with tremendous force. The world spun around him, and he landed face-down on the car seat with a heavy thud. Before he could scramble up, a dark figure pressed down on him, pinning him back into the seat. Ji Jixuan seemed terrified Xu Lin might escape, pinning his hands above his head. Ji Jixuan was tall and not…

A wound cuts through skin and sinew. Given enough time, the flesh rots, the blood drains, and the pain stops. After Ji Jixuan left without saying goodbye that day, Xu Lin discovered the broken glass in the study and a stain soaked into the carpet—whatever it was, it was unrecognizable by the next morning. Probably some small thing Ji Jixuan had accidentally spilled. Xu Lin cleaned it up quietly and didn't think much of it. The bruise on his ankle faded day by day, soon returning to normal. The…

The next day, Xu Lin sat in Ji Jixuan's car. The black iron gate at the foot of the mountain finally opened. Outside the window, the mountain where he'd lived for over a year grew farther and farther away. Xu Lin felt a momentary daze. He rolled down the window, and the wind rushed in, tousling his hair. He faced the wind, closed his eyes, and smiled. Deeply breathing in the air outside. Ji Jixuan drove him to a commercial building, pulled into the underground garage, and parked. An…

The frequent human experimentation in his childhood had caused Ji Jixuan to develop resistance to suppressants and disrupted his gland function. While a normal Alpha went into rut once a year, Ji Jixuan experienced it up to three times annually. Each time, he had to use several times the normal dosage of suppressants to forcibly suppress the overwhelming heat inside him. As he aged, the intervals between his ruts were growing shorter. It was not a good sign. Suppressants only suppressed; they didn't…

Soon. Xu Lin thought it would be soon. But three months had passed since he and Ji Jixuan got married, and the man who said he'd come back when he was done had never reappeared. At first, Xu Lin could find things to do in the villa where he was alone. The villa had three floors, and although it was regularly cleaned and already spotless, he still took a small rag and wiped everything down—from large furniture like wardrobes to small gaps between tiles. He polished everything until it gleamed, scouring…
