Defeat the system! Kiss my little monster!

The leading soldier also smelled the pheromones. Influenced by his physiological instincts, his fingertips trembled as he watched Zhou Yanshu's Adam's apple bob slightly.

"Yes... Chief, we'll take him away immediately." The soldier quickly gave the Alpha a wink.

Zhou Yanshu's pheromones continued to overflow, accumulating in the room and creating a strong odor. Many Alphas had already approached, drawn by the scent, and were eager to make their move outside the room.

"Get out! Tell all the guards around here to leave and don't let them come near here!"

Zhou Yanshu gripped the corner of the long table tightly, the veins on the back of his hand bulging, and he frowned fiercely as he looked at the doorway.

The military is mostly composed of Alphas. They have an innate combat advantage and make up almost four-fifths of the military. Among the remaining one-fifth, even those who are Betas or Omegas are mostly engaged in medical treatment.

The guards around the room are almost all Alphas. If they lose control, they will all swarm towards Zhou Yanshu.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Are you all crazy? The leader is inside!"

"Did you hear me! You lust-driven bastard! Get out of here right now!"

The noise outside grew louder and louder, with the faint sound of machinery colliding.

It was unclear which Alpha released pheromones, but their scent seeped in through the window cracks and stimulated Zhou Yanshu the moment it touched him, causing a shiver to rise all over his body.

Zhou Yanshu picked up the inhibitor with trembling hands. His fingers were weak, and he couldn't get the needle into his gland even after trying twice.

"Click."

The inhibitor slipped from Zhou Yanshu's fingers, the glass casing hit the ground, and shattered into pieces right in front of Zhou Yanshu.

Zhou Yanshu frowned deeply, clutched the back of his neck, and knelt on the ground. He picked up his phone and dialed the number at the very top.

"Hey?"

The call was quickly answered, and Zhou Yanshu felt a lump in his throat for some reason. He had never felt this way before; the physiological characteristics of an Omega made him so difficult to control.

"Come here..." Zhou Yanshu's eyes reddened, "Come here quickly, I want you..."

Yu Zhuo's voice suddenly stopped. Zhou Yanshu knelt down, covering his mouth and nose, feeling as if his whole body was burning hot.

The noise outside subsided at some point, disappearing completely within seconds. Along with it, the pheromones of the unknown Alphas lingering outside also vanished.

Upon hearing the sound of the door opening, Zhou Yanshu's forehead and cheeks were covered in sweat. He immediately gripped the glass shards of the inhibitor with alarm.

The person who entered walked with large, quick steps and arrived at Zhou Yanshu's side in no time.

Zhou Yanshu smelled a strong scent of grass and trees. He initially thought it was the smell carried by the wind outside, but as he unconsciously moved closer, he realized it was the pheromones from an Alpha.

"...Get out! I told you not to come in! Don't be stupid!" Zhou Yanshu clenched the glass shards in his palm. The sharp edges of the shards pierced his flesh, causing pain that jolted his gradually fading senses.

"elder brother."

A familiar voice rang out above Zhou Yanshu. Zhou Yanshu paused slightly and vaguely saw a figure through the sweat on his eyelashes.

Yu Zhuo pulled him into her arms: "Brother, don't be afraid, I'm here... I chased them all away, no one's coming, I'll stay with you..."

Zhou Yanshu buried his face halfway into Yu Zhuo's chest, inhaling the pheromones in the air with almost greedy greed, and asked in a hoarse voice, "...Your scent?"

"Ah...yes, it smells like me." Yu Zhuo was a little embarrassed. He put his arm around Zhou Yanshu's waist and subtly took the shard of glass out of his palm. "Does it smell good?"

Zhou Yanshu's pupils were unfocused. He wrapped his arms around Yu Zhuo's neck, pried open his teeth, and inserted his tongue: "Give it all to me."

Yu Zhuo was pushed and bumped into the table and chairs behind him, but his expression remained unchanged. He grabbed Zhou Yanshu's chin and kissed him back.

Their kiss was hot, passionate, and intertwined, emitting soft, ambiguous sounds. Zhou Yanshu's breathing grew heavier and heavier; his eyes were half-closed as he felt Yu Zhuo's fingers slowly moving up the back of his neck.

Zhou Yanshu smiled and said, "Little brother, do you want to bite me?"

Yu Zhuo didn't try to hide it much after being discovered. His tongue was moist as he traced the outline of Zhou Yanshu's lips: "No?"

"You can't bite me." Zhou Yanshu's golden hair fell slightly, and he reached out to touch the back of his neck, slowly grasping Yu Zhuo's hand.

His thin lips were crimson, and his silver eyes held a seductive quality when they narrowed: "But if it's to mark me... I might be able to."

"Ha..." Yu Zhuo immediately leaned over and pressed down on him.

Zhou Yanshu did not struggle. He rested his chin on Yu Zhuo's shoulder and obediently lowered his head, exposing his vulnerable parts to Yu Zhuo's eyes.

Yu Zhuo had no experience whatsoever; he had just completed his gender differentiation when he opened his mouth and revealed his sharp teeth.

Zhou Yanshu groaned. He hadn't expected things to turn out this way. He just trembled as he hugged Yu Zhuo's neck tightly and uttered a suppressed whisper.

……

Yu Zhuo is an Alpha.

He suddenly developed pheromones, and even grew glands overnight.

Zhou Yanshu clearly remembered that Yu Zhuo's body had not changed when he slept with him last night, but the transition had already been completed today.

Yu Zhuo's explanation was vague: "I felt an itch on my neck a few months ago, but I didn't expect it to be because glands were growing. The doctor said it was because of my congenital slow development, and I have only just finished developing."

Zhou Yanshu was skeptical. He touched the skin on the back of Yu Zhuo's neck, and the protruding area was indeed not much different from theirs.

"You said you still have a tail?" Zhou Yanshu asked. "How did you suddenly become a mermaid?"

Yu Zhuo had never changed his form before; he had always looked like a human. He had no glands or fish tail, and resembled a land-dwelling species that had been swept into the sea.

Yu Zhuo said, "I just have a tail, but I'm not a mermaid. To be honest, I don't know what I am."

Zhou Yanshu: "..."

Seeing Yu Zhuo's confused expression, he hummed and kissed the corner of his lips: "You are my future queen."

Yu Zhuo raised his eyes slightly, tilted his chin, and said, "Brother, so confident? You haven't won yet."

“It’s only a matter of time,” Zhou Yanshu said calmly. “That position is mine, and no matter how long it takes, it will be mine.”

His tone rose, as always, with an air of arrogance, yet revealing an air of certainty.

Yu Zhuo tapped the table and said, "Brother, how about I go with you? I'm an Alpha, I can join the army."

Yu Zhuo asked the same question again, and this time Zhou Yanshu remained silent for a long time before finally giving in.

In the final battle of the Merfolk royal family's struggle for the throne, Yu Zhuo joined the fray.

The entire deep sea trembled violently, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and lightning flashed. It was almost a replica of the deep-sea storm from a few years ago, howling fiercely against the wind. Everyone held their breath when they saw the changes in the sky.

It was only then that Zhou Yanshu realized what Yu Zhuo meant by "tail".

He is not a mermaid.

He is a dragon.
