Chapter 421: Chapter 373: An Alpha Wolf in Heat is Truly Terrifying

"It’s not enough..."

Alex buried his head in Gu Ning’s chest. His throat was so dry and hoarse it felt like it had been scorched by flames. Even though he tried his best to restrain himself, Gu Ning could still hear the desire hidden within his voice.

A desire for her.

She quickly stroked him a few more times, trying to soothe the wolf. "Let’s... let’s go back," she whispered.

’This is the infirmary. Lanuo is still here...’

She had been embarrassed enough when Alex was collecting the fluid sample earlier. She could only comfort herself by thinking of it as a normal part of a physical exam. With the curtain drawn, she did her best not to make a sound, pretending Lanuo couldn’t see or hear anything.

If Alex wanted to get any more intimate with her, it would cross the threshold of what her moral compass could bear.

She was already so hot and flustered that her scalp felt like it was being pricked with fine needles.

However, the one in her arms was a wolf, not some big dog she could easily placate.

Under her touch, Gu Ning felt the body beneath her hands act like a rubber band; it relaxed for only a moment before tensing up again, hard as a board. His temperature was climbing, accompanied by a change that alarmed her.

Alex wasn’t an impulsive Beastman. On the contrary, he was always calm, rational, gentle, and restrained.

’Even during our last two intimate encounters, he was always considerate of me. He wouldn’t... not here...’

"Not enough." Alex nuzzled into the crook of her neck, took a deep sniff, and then let out a long, hot sigh.

That scorching breath felt like it would sear Gu Ning’s skin.

At some point, the arm around her waist had tightened, holding her so firmly that it was difficult for Gu Ning to even stroke the alpha wolf’s hair.

"..."

Gu Ning stopped stroking him. She tilted her head to look at the large wolfish head nuzzling and sniffing incessantly at her neck and asked softly, "Is my scent... really that good?"

From the moment they entered this examination room, she’d felt that something was off with Alex.

He was too quiet.

Now, he was more like a volcano on the verge of erupting. Her small attempts to soothe him were like pouring oil on a fire, only making the flames burn hotter.

Gu Ning remembered that the past few days were... her ovulation period. Although she didn’t feel much different, her body had given her signals, which were noticeable on her discarded clothes, for instance.

’Maybe this scent, to Alex...’

Just then, Alex answered her with his actions.

A scalding breath swept across her neck as he kissed his way up to her face.

Gu Ning instinctively tried to avoid the alpha wolf’s kiss.

In a place like the infirmary, her nerves were constantly on edge.

Alex cupped the back of her head with his large hand, preventing her from pulling away.

The kisses that fell on Gu Ning’s face were urgent yet gentle, as if he were making a request, begging her for comfort.

This close, Gu Ning could clearly see the faint, red veins in Alex’s eyes.

’He definitely hasn’t rested well these past few days.’

Gu Ning’s heart softened. She kissed him back on his face and whispered, "Alex, let’s go back..."

’Not in the infirmary.’

After she spoke, she heard a distinct gulp.

Then, a scorching heat pressed down on her.

...

Alex closed his eyes to keep from losing control.

’Just a little bit of comfort. Just a little will be enough.’

Otherwise, he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to remain rational any longer.

Ningning’s scent during her period was nothing compared to her scent these past two days, especially right now.

Only a Mixed Breed, incapable of going into rut, could withstand a scent like this.

He couldn’t even imagine, back before Ningning knew them, just how strong a male’s scent would have to be to completely mask hers and keep her from being discovered by other Beastmen.

To do that, they would have had to lick her from head to toe, coating her in the scent of their saliva. Then, they would have to cover her with an even heavier scent from their glands, paying special attention to the source of her fertile scent.

As Alex thought about it in detail, images of what the two Mixed Breeds by her side might have done to her to hide her scent appeared in his mind, and his brow gradually furrowed.

It was a primal instinct from his male genes—aggression toward other males competing for the same female.

But in an instant, he suppressed that instinct.

If they hadn’t done that, in a chaotic and dangerous place like Zone 19, Ningning would have been discovered as a female sooner or later. It would have been difficult for her and Cookbatuo, the two Mixed Breeds, to resist the gangs in Zone 19.

What Lanuo could find out about her, others could too.

He didn’t dare to imagine what she would have faced with no background or support.

Gu Ning was dizzy from Alex’s kiss. The wolf had only had a taste of her twice, yet he’d already mastered the technique. He knew how to make the kiss last longer, making it more comfortable and easier for her to adapt to.

"CLATTER—"

The crisp sound of medical instruments clattering rang in Gu Ning’s ears, pulling her wandering thoughts back to reality.

Gu Ning glanced at the curtain beside them and pushed against Alex’s chest.

Alex opened his eyes and shot a cold glare at the figure behind the curtain who had deliberately made the noise.

The figure seemed to feel his icy gaze, pausing for a moment before casually continuing to fiddle with the instruments in their hands.

’An alpha wolf in rut really is terrifying.’

"Haaa..."

Alex finally let Gu Ning go. She leaned limply against him, her chin resting on his shoulder, and once again urged him to go back to the hospital room.

’Stop testing my moral limits. At least give me some time to decompress...’

From an angle she couldn’t see, Alex licked his lips clean, not letting a single drop go to waste.

After rubbing her back to help her catch her breath, Alex suddenly swept her up into his arms.

Before Gu Ning could react, Alex—SWISH!—pulled back the curtain and strode out of the examination room with her in his arms, not saying a word.

"SLAM—"

The examination room door was shut with less than gentle force.

The assistant doctor waiting at the door in case of any emergencies saw this and understood what had happened. He pushed the door open to go in and help, but as soon as he opened a crack, Lanuo pulled it wide.

A bottle of deodorizer was shoved into his hand.

"Spray this entire hallway twice, and spray extra outside Miss Ningning’s room."

Before the assistant doctor could ask any questions, the door was slammed shut.

The assistant doctor paused for a moment, then shook his head with a slight smile. "These young beasts just have no self-control."

.

Lanuo stood dumbfounded by the medical bed for a long moment before taking off his mask, which was damp with condensation from his breath.

He took a deep breath, trying to steady his breathing, but that indescribably sweet fragrance drilled straight into his nostrils.

"..."

Lanuo found a new mask in a drawer and put it on. He picked out a newly-concocted deodorizer from among the bottles and jars on the table and pressed the pump once into the air.

The pump didn’t fully depress. Lanuo’s hand paused in mid-air for a moment before he lowered it. He pulled down his mask, sniffed the young female’s scent in the air, then pulled out a chair and sat down.

Lanuo leaned back slightly, ran a hand through his slightly damp hair, and pressed the back of his hand to his forehead. He closed his eyes and let out a long breath.

’This scent... it’s going to be the death of me.’
