extra 2: you are my Alpha

5. HONEYMOON

“Don’t be so impulsive next time, that’s something very important to an Alpha.”

“Hmph, it’s an unpleasant scent.” When he was a little merman, he already detested the scent from the Marshal’s body, this was something written into his genes.

“Then why don’t you find mine unpleasant?”

“Hmph. You said that person smelled good.”

“What?”

“That day, you said that the person selling savoury pancakes smelled good.” Why else would he willingly fall for the trap set by the Merfolk?

The Marshal was exasperated, “That’s only because I was hungry.”

The Mer-king: “……”

……

“Be good now, do you like me?”

“If… if I didn’t like you, why would I have fought for the throne.” Among the Merpeople, only the Mer-king had the privilege of not being repulsed by human pheromones, so the little merman who had been pampered since birth, forcefully shed all his beautiful scales, for the sake of inheriting the throne.

The Marshal chuckled and kissed his lips. His little merman had always been such a hypocrite.

……

“The Merfolk said they would help eliminate the rebels in the Mer-kingdom?”

“Li Ze, once we’ve signed the armistice, let’s go have fun.”

“General, we want to go too.”

Li Ze swept one look around at the roomful of eager senior military officers.

He gave a short, sarcastic laugh, “That’s no problem, but you’ll have to defeat me on the training ground first.”

“And me.” Lu Meng draped an arm over his shoulder, grinning.

An Alpha’s possessiveness was universally acknowledged, but what about the possessiveness of two Alphas?

The military officers who were now no better than corpses strewn over the battlefield: “……” Generals, we really didn’t know that was supposed to be your honeymoon!!! QAQ

6. RING

The veins on Li Ze’s temples were throbbing, his fists slowly curling up.

“Sir, my apologies, but you may not enter. Tonight’s banquet is for married couples only, the singles’ banquet takes place tomorrow night.”

“I have a partner.”

The person examined him in suspicion but could not detect Omega pheromones on him. Perhaps his partner was a Beta? “If I may be so bold to ask, is your spouse a Beta?”

Li Ze frowned, impatient, “No.” Lu Meng, that idiot, where did he run off to?

The Major General Li who had never been refused entry before had no choice but to awkwardly stand around the entrance. That idiot had even left his communication device at the hotel since he found it a hindrance; If there was really an issue, he would inform Li Ze anyway. But now, Li Ze couldn’t even contact him when he wanted to.

“A-Ze!” Lu Meng was very tall, and was trying to painstakingly squeeze his way through the crowd—

“Please excuse me.”

“Sorry, I already have a spouse.”

“No, no— I already have a dance partner, please do ask someone else.”

After the challenging ordeal of braving the crowd, Lu Meng sprawled against Li Ze’s chest panting, “Why are there so many people.”

Li Ze remained silent. Lu Meng was puzzled and looked up at him to realize that Li Ze was glaring daggers at the people who had tried to hit on his Alpha.

“A-Ze, why don’t you mark me again? The scent from before is nearly gone.” The process of permanent marking between Alphas was still under research by the doctor, but there were already preliminary results regarding the matter. The two of them didn’t mind much, but the only downside of temporary marks was that it was only effective for a short period of time. The scent that Li Ze left the last time was already weak, which was why so many people tried to hit on him.

Lu Meng might be an idiot, but his sensitivity radar rivalled that of a small animal. As expected, one sentence from him was enough to appease Li Ze’s fury.

Li Ze dragged him into a corner and pressed his lips against that small section of skin, then heavily bit down. The sweet pheromones blossomed at the tip of his tongue, and his shameful desire to dominate stirred at the bottom of his heart. He continued to nip and bite, until Lu Meng’s body was completely rendered in his scent.

Lu Meng was originally dazed and enjoying the pleasure of being marked and owned, but when he and Li Ze separated, he realized that he had shamefully gotten hard.

Li Ze: “……”

Lu Meng: “……”

“Ahem…” Li Ze tried not to laugh, “Let’s go.”

Despite them both being outstanding soldiers with exceptional self-control, this did not include while they were on their honeymoon. An hour later, Lu Meng dragged Li Ze out and they once again showed up at the door to the evening banquet.

The usher looked at the two Alphas in alarm. Oh god, it can’t be since that Alpha’s wife had run off, he went and caught another Alpha to stand in?!

While Li Ze listened to the usher’s stuttered excuses, something icy and cool was slipped onto his finger.

A branch of pine and a cut of sage, where the two intersected, was inlaid with a small black gem.

It was forged using the strongest material currently known, an ore from the Deep Sea that the Mer-king had given them as compensation. Who knew when this rascal had hidden a piece.

The usher’s eyes widened. So… Alphas could be together?

Lu Meng grinned and hooked an arm around his shoulder, “Like it?”

Li Ze threw him a side glance. Did he have to ask such a stupid question? Was it even possible not to like it? He pursed his lips and said: “It’s ugly as fuck.”

Although Lu Meng was long accustomed to such behaviour, he was still half-complaining as he said: “How is it ugly? I personally designed it! It’s just that the old jeweller wasn’t genuine, he insisted that someone else had already ordered the same design.”

“I even infused the material with pheromone essence that the doctor gave. Give it a sniff? Doesn’t it carry my scent?”

Li Ze raised a brow, then fished out a box, “He wasn’t lying to you.”

Huh?

Lu Meng stood there stupidly staring at the ring that had suddenly appeared on his hand. It was the same design, the same material except that it was instead inlaid with an amber-coloured gem. It even carried Li Ze’s scent.

“Is this what they call two hearts beating as one?”

“I suspect you’ve plagiarized our good army’s highly classified information.”

At this moment, Lu Meng couldn’t do anything but grin like an idiot; He had discovered the phrase carved into the inside of the ring — it was the same phrase on the ring he had given Li Ze.

–– “You are my Alpha”.

7. KEY

Li Ze finally knew what physiology classes were; They were offered in school in fifth grade, but during summer vacation that year, Lu Meng fell into the water. After that, Li Ze accompanied him and took an entire year off school.

Physiology classes?

He reckoned he probably didn’t need them at this point.

As long as he had his Alpha, then he held the decryption key to his genes.

T/N: And that’s a wrap! Thank you for accompanying me through Li Ze and Lu Meng’s story. I had a lot of fun translating this project, and my respect for translators has increased hundred, thousand-fold. Especially translators who update once a week, like… oh my god, I worship you. This one is struggling even with less than 1k words. Listen to the audio drama too (link in toc page), it’s free! And if you can, support the author on jjwxc!
