11 Summer night is boring, I want to see the moon out of the water again. I sat under the bridge and saw the reflection of the water. Suddenly I saw a familiar figure. Both familiar and somewhat unfamiliar. I look at it and look. What a thanks! He seems to be more mature. Tall, majestic, with narrow shoulders and long legs, the same as the models in the magazine. On his side, there was a girl. Girls dress up, trendy, and wear luxuries in magazines. Girl: “Ai Yu, you have…-

One night, after a party, his friend messaged me: Lin Zeyan was having trouble at a bar. I rushed over, only to find Yun Han waiting for me instead, grinning maliciously. Before I could react, someone pressed a cloth to my face. Darkness closed in. I woke up to cold water splashing over me. It was summer break. Lin Zeyan and I had already registered our marriage and confronted Madam Su. Whatever Lin Zeyan had done, no one had bothered me since. But I’d let my guard down, and now I was…-

Friday after class, our roommates went home for the weekend. I planned to wait for Lin Zeyan that night, but after my shower, I suddenly felt dizzy and weak. My neck was burning, my whole body limp as if I’d just stepped out of a hot spring. What was happening? When Lin Zeyan walked in, I was overwhelmed by the urge to throw myself into his arms. The air was thick with his osmanthus scent, but I also caught a hint of lemon—oddly, I found myself searching for his pheromones. “Lin Zeyan……

So, the next day, I logged onto the city’s marriage registry website. The hospital hadn’t uploaded my new status yet, so I still had time. I submitted my marriage application as a Beta, and the system matched me with a few candidates. The top match? An old acquaintance—Shen Yichen, Lin Zeyan’s rival, a gentle S-rank Alpha. Apparently, Lin Zeyan and Shen Yichen had become enemies in college, both crushing on Yun Han. I doubted the system’s results—how could I match with an S-rank…

After we shook hands on our truce, we worked out a deal: whenever he needed, he’d come to me for pheromone comfort, and in return, he’d help me keep my Omega status a secret. I’d also keep quiet about his disorder. But he had one more demand: “You’re not allowed to yell at me anymore.” I stared at him. “If you stop provoking me, maybe I’ll consider it.” He just smiled. Growing up, I’d somehow managed to match him in everything, even as a Beta. That’s probably why he was…

“You’re telling me I presented as an Omega?” I stared at the doctor in disbelief. The doctor, checking my vitals, just sighed. “No matter how many times you ask, the answer’s the same. You’ve definitely presented as an Omega. It’s rare for a Beta to undergo a secondary presentation, but it’s not unheard of. Better get used to it, kid.” That was not comforting at all. How was I supposed to accept this? I’d lived as a Beta for twenty years, and now, just because of a fight, I’d…

“Lin Zeyan, if you’ve got the guts, let me go!” Before leaving the dorm that morning, I thought I’d finally crush my nemesis, Lin Zeyan, in today’s match—wipe that smug look off his face for good. But during the fight, a strange flood of memories suddenly crashed into my mind. My fist, which was supposed to land squarely on his jaw, lost all its strength. My knees buckled, and I stumbled straight into his arms. Lin Zeyan froze. Everyone around us was stunned. “No way, Yun Fei, are…

CAPTAIN HAMMER lay still a long time after the Gold Beetle had crashed. He was prone in the darkness of the forward gangway, a space not much bigger than a coffin. The great ship, stalling, nose up, as Hammer pushed back the wheel yoke, had poised with treetops brushing her keel, then dropped flat as a pancake. She broke through snapping tree limbs, crashing with shock after shock. Her splintering tail struck the ground first, taking the brunt of the blow, and was immediately shivered to kindling. Then,…-

NO MAN dared to go into the old mine shaft. At times they shouted to the Blackbird, and he replied with sullen snarls. With the setting of the moon, they crept closer to the old mine shaft. Someone lighted a dead pine branch and, when it was burning steadily, flung it around a corner into the entrance. For an instant there was the gleam of swiftly retreating eyes. In the fetid air the torch was smothered out. When the night was at its blackest, Cedar Rudd crawled up to the dismal door. He had…

VOICES came from the forested slopes, booming across the night. Here, there, on every side of the narrow glade men shouted, answering one another. "Hi, Cedar! Hi, Cedar! Which way'd he go?" Electric torches began to flash. A posse of twenty or more police officers, after beating for hours through the forest in a tightening circle, had converged on the Blackbird, had hemmed him in at last. From the far end of the glade into which he had disappeared, swift as a wolf on the track of the Blackbird,…
