Last Love chapter 28

The unexpectedly early onset of the heat period made everything a bit chaotic.

Xu Jiale quickly suggested moving out, which was, of course, necessary. It was impossible for two Alphas to coexist in Wen Ke’s home during his heat period.

Wen Ke felt quite embarrassed. When Xu Jiale left, he escorted him downstairs, saying, “Xu Jiale, I’ve just booked a hotel for you. Just go there for now. I’m really sorry; I’ve just brought you here, and there’s a change in plans after a few days. Once my heat period is over, you can move back in; it won’t be a problem for Han Jiangque.”

“No need,” Xu Jiale shook his head. “You’ve already spent quite a bit on me, don’t squander it all. Don’t worry, I have a place to stay. Although I’m divorced, I still have my grandfather’s inheritance; finding a house is easy.”

Wen Ke couldn’t help but laugh. He leaned over and asked softly, “How’s Jin Chu recently? Are you really giving up? You still have a child, so why not try again?”

When Xu Jiale heard Jin Chu’s name, he fell silent for a moment, then showed a somewhat helpless and indulgent expression. “You know him.”

“He’s a bit foolish, so once he decides on something, he won’t change. Now, he’s convinced that he doesn’t love me anymore and is determined to pursue true love… I heard a few days ago that he’s actively getting to know a new Alpha, so, well, it’s really over.”

Xu Jiale shrugged. “It’s not a big deal. What’s more frustrating is that I can’t get the child or Jin Chu and have to pay a hefty monthly alimony.”

Wen Ke was amused by his expression but then felt a faint bitterness in the midst of the humor.

When Xu Jiale mentioned Jin Chu, there was still a hint of helplessness and indulgence in his tone, indicating that he hadn’t completely let go of that relationship.

Xu Jiale never spoke much about the divorce, and he never blamed Jin Chu. Later, it was only by accident that Wen Ke found out that even the large house and two cars abroad were entirely given to Jin Chu as a gift. Combined with the regular alimony each month, it could be said that Jin Chu had no worries about his basic life.

“He has never had a proper job. After divorcing me, starting a new life requires capital. I needed to provide him with economic security to prepare for it properly.”

That’s how Xu Jiale explained it at the time.

As a longtime friend, Wen Ke was well aware that this seemingly lazy Alpha was, in fact, a genuinely good husband.

But such a good person ultimately failed to achieve a fulfilling happiness, making it a bitter and poignant matter.

“Alright, don’t worry about me,” Xu Jiale patted Wen Ke’s shoulder. “The next few days are crucial for you, especially the official marking. It really should be handled carefully. Of course, there’s no need to be too nervous about other things; learn to enjoy, understand?”

He paused meaningfully and continued, “A qualified Alpha should make the Omega savor and yearn for the heat period. Clearly, I’m unqualified. But now—it’s time to test whether Han princess is qualified.”

When Wen Ke heard the nickname “Han princess” from their high school days, he couldn’t help but feel a sudden warmth.

He smiled lightly and deliberately said with a stern face, “Xu Jiale, don’t mention this nickname in front of Han Jiangque, or you might get beaten up by the princess.”

Xu Jiale also laughed. He got into the car, waved at Wen Ke, and drove away directly.

…

For the past two days, Han princess had been preparing for Wen Ke’s heat period.

He replaced the bed in the master bedroom with an oversized double bed. Since the bed size changed, the matching mattress and bedding naturally changed as well.

Wen Ke was taken aback when he first saw the exaggerated new bed in the bedroom.

He stood there, a bit at a loss, and was directly picked up from behind by Han Jiangque and thrown onto the bed.

Wen Ke was dumbfounded once he lay down.

The mattress was comfortable to an indescribable extent.

He couldn’t help but roll around on it, instinctively pulling over the new blanket, feeling fluffy and soft, as if being gently embraced by a soft cloud.

“How does it feel?”

Han Jiangque sat on the edge of the bed, lifting the blanket and asking.

“Just… great.”

Wen Ke remained curled up under the covers, feeling a bit at a loss for words.

The pillow was also new, and the freshly washed bedding emitted a fragrant scent of laundry detergent, making the mood brighten.

“I also bought a new night light.”

Han Jiangque said as he turned off the main light in the bedroom, leaving only a covered night light—

The warm yellow light actually had a low presence, but it inexplicably made people feel warm. The entire room exuded a hazy and beautiful atmosphere.

“The doctor said to provide you with a more relaxing and stable environment. This can slightly alleviate the anxiety and abdominal pain during the heat period.”

Han Jiangque explained, “We’ll leave only one night light at night, so you won’t feel too nervous during the heat period.”

Wen Ke stared at Han Jiangque in a daze, feeling a mixture of sourness and tenderness in his heart.

He had really remembered all those cumbersome precautions.

The refrigerator was filled with fruits, various nuts and snacks, yogurt, and ice cream that Han Jiangque had bought from the supermarket, all in flavors that Wen Ke loved.

During the heat period, Omegas experience significant physical energy loss and need to replenish a lot of nutrients and vitamins. Due to the weakness of their bodies, it’s inconvenient to go out and buy supplies at any time, so everything needed to be prepared in advance.

In the past, Wen Ke used to prepare all these things for himself.

His home became warm because of Han Jiangque, with a fully packed refrigerator, a refreshed and comfortable bedroom with a new, larger bed, and even the living room had a new wool carpet.

This was the first time his heat period was treated with such seriousness—

Not like dealing with a burden or an obligation that must be fulfilled.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that he felt ashamed due to his own hesitation and insecurity.

On the night approaching the heat, he himself had already felt his body becoming noticeably restless.

He spent a long time alone in the bathroom.

First, he carefully washed every part of his body until the reproductive cavity in his lower abdomen gradually began to ache faintly due to emptiness. Only then did he come out and dry himself.

He squatted down naked and took out a black neck guard from under the washstand.

This neck guard was something every Omega possessed, and it was the most important tool for self-protection.

Once an Omega puts on the neck guard, it signifies their stance. If an Alpha forcefully opened the neck guard to mark, it constituted a crime.

More importantly, when wearing the neck guard, the glands were compressed, causing some discomfort. However, it effectively served as contraception, which was a barrier that even Omegas not officially marked could freely enjoy.

Of course, this barrier was unnecessary for him; he never had the possibility of getting pregnant.

Wen Ke touched the neck guard, but his fingers kept trembling, unable to muster the determination to put it on.

He didn’t want to be officially marked.

Over the past few days, he had to confront his attitude towards this matter.

Although he loved Han Jiangque, there was no doubt about it.

But he truly, truly didn’t want to be completely dominated and controlled by an Alpha as before.

That feeling, he realized only when he woke up, was akin to a living death.

But putting on the neck guard meant drawing a cold line between him and Han Jiangque—

The pain in his reproductive cavity became more and more intense, and he had already started to crave the soothing pheromones.

He was almost unable to stand, so he could only barely support himself against the washstand.

It was at this moment that the knocking sound of Han Jiangque came from outside the bathroom—

“I’ll be out in a moment…” Wen Ke’s voice was a bit shaky.

“Wen Ke, are you okay?”

Even through the door, Han Jiangque’s voice sounded muffled, but concern was evident.

“I-I’m fine.”

He straightened his body, looking at himself in the mirror. Due to panting, he appeared blurry and hazy, like an elusive shadow.

Memories from the past, those moments of self-doubt and helplessness, rapidly flashed before his eyes.

Human confidence is intimately related to sexuality.

Throughout all those years, he had almost never taken a good look at his own body. He used to believe he had no charm because, during his heat periods, he couldn’t attract Zhuo Yuan.

Ten years, one hundred and twenty heat cycles.

One hundred and twenty times without pleasure.

This was the one hundred and twenty-first time.

This time, Han Jiangque was with him.

The knocking sound seemed to gradually merge with his heartbeat, like a suggestion and an urging at the same time.

Suddenly, Wen Ke decisively put down the neck guard.

…

When he opened the door, he wasn’t wearing any clothes.

He stood naked in front of Han Jiangque, his fair toes stepping on the carpet, slightly curling up due to nervousness. “Han Jiangque…”

Han Jiangque was completely stunned.

The Omega’s hair was still wet, his body was white, with a slender neck, and a pair of moist eyes.

Exactly the same.

Just like ten years ago, exactly the same.

The obscure affair that no one knew about many years ago suddenly appeared in front of him once again.

However, this time, Wen Ke turned his body.

“Tonight, p-please don’t officially mark me…” Wen Ke’s eyelashes were also trembling. “Is that okay?”

He knew it was really unfair.

Because of him, he had to make the Alpha who loved him go against his own nature.

But precisely because he knew that Han Jiangque loved him, he could make such an unreasonable request. This was a privilege that only those who were loved could have.

“But you didn’t bring the neck guard.” Han Jiangque’s voice was hoarse.

Wen Ke lifted his head and looked at him in a daze. After a long while, he answered a different question, saying, “I love you, Han Jiangque.”

With a fragrant moisture, Wen Ke, naked, threw himself into Han Jiangque’s arms.

Suddenly, Han Jiangque understood.

Not bringing the neck guard, coming out naked, was a complete trust in him.

Wen Ke had made a choice, but he entrusted the execution entirely to him.

He was instantly hit in the heart by the giraffe from his dreams.

“Fool.”

Han Jiangque supported Wen Ke’s plump butt with his hands, carrying the Omega in his arms, stumbling towards the bedroom.

The bed was piled high with several pillows. Han Jiangque lifted the blanket, and the two of them rolled into it together. The vast bed, like a wilderness, gradually received the fluffy goose-down quilt, falling gently onto their bodies, as if heavenly clouds were lightly pressing down.

Wen Ke used his fingers to stroke Han Jiangque’s handsome eyebrows and eyes. “Do you know what you’ve been like these past few days?”

“What?”

“I don’t know which animal… probably a bird? Before the male bird courts, it needs to build a nest. Because with a well-built nest, it can mate with the female.” Wen Ke chuckled foolishly. “It’s a bird, right?”

“It’s a bird.” Han Jiangque also nodded seriously.

His hand unconsciously found its way to Wen Ke’s butt, the almost imperceptible curvature resembling hills, nearly obscene to the touch. “So, do you think… my nest is good?”

“Especially good.” Wen Ke nodded.

He shyly pulled Han Jiangque’s hand down and placed it on his belly. He could feel the intense agitation in his reproductive cavity.

His body was preparing…

Preparing to unite with Han Jiangque.

This thought excited him beyond control.

They hid in the warm quilt, their toes entwined, speaking intimate whispers.

Just like a pair of birds in a nest, cuddling and preening feathers, waiting for the wind and rain.

Waiting made what might have been an ordinary moment appear grand and romantic.

“Is it about to start?”

Han Jiangque’s eyes sparkled astonishingly, looking energetic, his gaze both expectant and nervous.

“Soon…” Wen Ke answered, still feeling a slight unease, muttering, “Han Jiangque, I—I’ll be very annoying later, really annoying.”

“I want to kiss you.” Han Jiangque also started answering different questions.

Speaking these words, he bit down on Wen Ke’s earlobe and said with a husky voice, “Wen Ke, I want to kiss your butt, I want to f*** you.”

A lightning bolt streaked across the night sky, and suddenly, a torrential rain poured outside the French window. Meanwhile, the Omega’s body finally surged with more intense passion.

Han Jiangque, like a small wolf finally seizing an opportunity, fiercely pushed Wen Ke down beneath him. He cupped Wen Ke’s face, passionately kissing the crimson mole at the corner of his eye. The heartbeats of the two echoed in a rapid rhythm.

“Mmm…”

Wen Ke’s body spasmed for a moment.

An involuntary, extremely soft moan escaped his throat, and his legs quietly climbed onto Han Jiangque’s waist.

He was finally in heat.

At that moment, it arrived so suddenly and naturally.
