It's a 3.3 star story. Good translation though.

I don't mind the adultery, since the s*um husband was AWOL from the start, and finding a partner who cares and takes care of you instead is much better.

But I don't like the setting of the Enigma that the author put together. The ML is kind and thoughtful to the MC out of bed ... more>>
Spoiler

But in bed he's frankly a sad*st and an a**hole. Several times the MC is described as being scared because the ML's eyes are flat and blank. This is not erotic, it's psycho. The only reason the MC likes the s*x is that the ML's pheromones are so overwhelming that they become an addiction for the MC.

[collapse]
I actually found the s*x scenes off putting as they were opposite of the character that the author had drawn up in the first few chapters.

Then there was the way both the MC and the ML acted in the last few chapters when they were trying to get rid of the s*um husband for good. It was just ridiculous.
Spoiler

The MC responds his ex's blackmail threat by setting himself up to be physically attacked and marked - without telling the ML- always a s*upid move. Then the ML, when the MC comes home from the hospital, PERMANENTLY marks him WITHOUT asking, LOCKS him in the house, and ATTACKS the s*um ex - who was already arrested for the previous incident and had signed the divorce.

[collapse]

The ML is a highly educated, very rich CEO. All he had to do was call a freaking high-powered lawyer and they could have made paste out of the s*um ex with all the ab*se he heaped on the MC during their marriage. None of that garbage was necessary, and there was no communication between the MC and ML during those events. It was all just s*upid, soap opera drama.

That just totally cooled any enjoyment left that I had with the story at that point. <<less

I wonder why this novel's rating is low. Because this type of novel is quite rare.

So far I've only found a few similar ones but I forgot the titles. If I'm not mistaken there is a novel about a beta who has an affair with an Alpha's brother-in-law and this brother-in-law is a government official, I forgot the title.

If you've read the novel I just mentioned, it's about "paying back" an affair with an affair. Usually I find many shou/uke/bottom always give up and act like idiots if their partner... more>> does something wrong like violence or being cheated on. I'm sick of that. So finding a novel like this is really refreshing. I also fell in love with the ML character as the third person here who is very possessive and crazy about his partner (MC) compared to the MC's previous husband.

This is a novel worth reading. But there are too many adult scenes so readers must be wise. The thing that made me fall in love with this novel is because every s*x scene not only depicts lust, but also expresses feelings, control, emotions, and affection. If you miss it, the depiction of the relationship between MC and ML will feel bland, in my opinion. So reading the hot scene section can make us imagine what ML's control is like in lust and guilt towards MC's husband but also unknowingly he has feelings of affection for MC. <<less

3 stars 🌟🌟🌟

I was lured here by the cover. While the story had lots of potential, it lacked in execution.

The MC is too naive, weak and really a doormat. I understand that love makes you blind. But not THAT blind.

And FB (the first husband) is just a s*umbag. Utterly the lowest s*umbag. Even when FB is cold and neglectful towards the MC, the MC still decided to believe in him? FB and his whole family are so horrible towards the MC. But MC still stayed. Hell, FB was really abusing... more>> the MC. I wish MC had more balls. I wish he could learn to stand up for himself. But he had to be the damsel in distress.

And the ML, sigh... The ML is just a obsessed psychopath. Really, no words. The s3x scenes were so uncomfortable, because most of the times its just the ML r*ping the MC while the MC says no, begs the ML to stop and faints because of too much s3x. And the MC keeps forgiving the ML, even if he can’t get up afterwards. Like these are the most uns3xy smut scenes ever. ML is so obsessed he literally stalks the MC. Like red flags everywhere.

I gave the story 3 stars because, I did enjoy the beginning of the story (but it went downhill fast afterwards) and the translator did a good job. <<less

I'm honestly surprised by the low rating. It might have to do with the subjected matter of cheating in a marriage. For good reason I understand why that would put most people off but this story is so well thought out and writen.

I do appreciate that in the story, MC and ML never make excuses for their action but admit what they did was wrong.

... more>>
Spoiler

And of course that MC wanted to end things with his husband before carrying on with the ML.

[collapse]

If there is still some readers who feel uncertain, let me just say that the MC and his husband are in a loveless marriage, only married on paper but nothing else.

Spoiler

Besides the MC's husband cheated first and throught out their marriage.

[collapse]

Anyway, this is one of my favorites, definitely a must read.

Ps the ML is extremely possessive and domineering (especially during sexy times). <<less

I have a very bad habit of filtering novels based on ratings. I usually dont read below 4.2, but this one... a 4 and it served. I actually picked up reading its description because well, a bit or real life resemblance.

somehow this novel bought me peace in ways I did not expect.

many will say that the characters changed, yes they did. Because that is how human nature is. We change, we evolve, sometimes for good, sometimes for bad.

the ML did change; he broke off his so called... more>> concept of morality and his sexuality when he faced a situation he couldn't control over. Once he realised that the textbook knowledge of ' pheromones made me do it' was not bulletproof for all, he decided on all rules for himself.

and considering the insecurities MC had, he needs someone who is desperate for him like this, else he will be below every person in his eyes.

this is not a book for those whose sense of morality is stronger than anything else. This is only for those who are confused and often stuck in gray area. <<less

I loved it, I was looking for a story where the MC broke up with his partner s*um and found this here.

In addition there is also repentance of s*um and a little crematorium, but MC does not fall, once he tried the true heat he decided to leave the scum, and since he decided, he did not hesitate a little.

ML is really possessive with MC, but this is something that I love, MC is not as dumb or naive as it seems at the beginning 😅, I liked the plot,... more>> as it was developed and as it ended, I would have read it many times more, read when you are looking for an MC that breaks with the s*um and finds someone better, although there is infidelity, It is not so guilty, I can assure you. <<less

This was a crummy novel, overall. I only excuse cheating when the partner is abusive and this was one of those situations. Also cheating back is always allowed.

Plot: 3/5

The conflict and the ab*se from the original partner and family of the ML was crazy! He was mistreated so much.

... more>>
Spoiler

I think the first part where the omega goes into heat in public was a culmination of the ab*se and the MC stalking the ML.

[collapse]

Characters: 2/5

I think the MC was not a great person.

Spoiler

He stalked the ML bcuz of pheromones, he marked him in public, and then when they finally got together did some absolute crazy shit. The ML def has dependent personality disorder traits, and the MC was practically a sociopath.

[collapse]

Romance: 2/5

Both incredibly insecure people, and their resulting relationship was not healthy. I think the ML went from one abusive relationship to another one. <<less

This novel follows my favourite trope: dumping a scummy ex

I don't mind the cheating. In fact I found it satisfying cos if ur gonna cheat and don't try to even hide it I'm gonna assume we're in an open marriage. Not to mention the ab*se, marking him and then not giving him pheromones, emotional neglect, and humiliation be was putting the MC through. Also he forces MC to keep taking inhibitors and use supression patches (like why don't u use it if u can't stand my pheromones). The overuse of... more>> this causes MC to randomly go into heats (which is dangerous), develop a inhibitor resistance and the dr even tells him if u use it again u could become infertile.

The husband is a whiny rich only child that grew up surrounded by people throwing love at him. Even during his wife-chasing arc, he cannot apologize, take accountability, initiate convos, do something for MC, he just expects the MC to come back to him by doing small talk 😒.

The things I liked:

• The ML is the husband's boss

•Not only that but the ML even viewed the husband as his ideal partner (ML is an enigma and husband is an alpha)

• I liked that when the mil was tryna be all Shame on you MC asked her 'why can he do it, but I can't?' like yaah my boy ask their fake ass pretentious faces

• I liked how the ML was actually a yandere in disguise, like he was becoming more and more unhinged

• I liked that when the husband caught on, the MC immediately told ML about it. Instead of running away

• I liked how they adress the cheating part (once a cheater always a cheater theory) cos ML was kinda spiraling so they needed to have that talk

I wish someone in this novel universe would invent like a gland collar cos it could've saved a lot of trouble ok <<less

Great Novel, quite worth the read!

Edit: what a pity... apparently the author has stopped writing and their work is slowly disappearing/being deleted... people really should think before they speak ill of people, even if it's through the screen, it can hurt badly. The author seems to have gotten quite allot of hate at the beginning because of various of their works, as well as this one, but now it seems to have gained some fame and people are praising it now. But there is no „regret-medicine", the hurt has been... more>> done and the author... may never appear again... I hope they do though... in a way their work is so unique and finally something different from all the „generic" story lines (not that they are bad, just that I sometimes also need a change!)

Honestly went into a different direction I expected, but still a good read! I feel like themes like this are quite rare, but despite this heavy topic quite well done, so I can definitely recommend it :))

Spoiler

Regarding scumbad: I actually felt quite bad for him at the start. He didn't want this marriage and persued a free love, thus didn't touch MC, BUT at the same time it's his fault that he accepted this marriage. When he committed to this marriage, he should either talk it out with MC to get a proper divorce and not have an affair or tried to accept MC as his partner. At the end he did not cherish MC and let go of him (even if he didn't want to by the end of the story)

Regarding ML: He was such a gentle person with morality, but became such a pe*vert (mostly in bed) later on hahha oof I feel bad for MC that he sometimes gets humiliated in bed... ! But well, as ML has said, MCs love is... so full, he's accepting of every mistake his lover makes, and loves them unconditionally. (Except of course like scumbad cheats first and admits to it) so it's understandable that MC would accept and tolerate and protect all of MLs aspects and well... wild sides? I'd say ML is lucky to have found MC tho at the same time I wonder if he would have ended up this way if he met someone else in another way? Welp, anyways I feel like, due to circumstances, they are quite made for each other, tho I hope ML shows more of his gentle side later haha

Was wishing for more baby content but at the same time... I feel like ML would only spoil MC and the child is more like an add on hahha

[collapse]

Anyways, enjoyed the read, read it in one go, MTL is also quite readable, so do give it a try if you have the chance~ <<less

I've never actually posted a review on NU before, but I feel this is needed because as much as have enjoyed the story so far, there's a tag that's glaringly missing and gripes I have with this story.

Mainly, I decided to read this specifically because I saw there was no r*pe tag. THERE IS R*PE. While the MC repeatedly forgives the ML and seems to have no problem with it, it is very clear in a lot of the smut scenes that the MC is not fully comfortable, especially during... more>> times when he acts too roughly
Spoiler

ML gets overtaken by his "pheromones" and therefore his beastly behavior is excused for some reason

[collapse]

And honestly what pisses me off the most is how the ML repeatedly apologizes, and suddenly clears his mind and becomes a great gentle lover, only to act too rough again and hurt the MC.

Spoiler

Like the scene where the ML permanently marks the MC, he literally drugged the MC with an aphrodisiac??? He made a permanent mark (as in ejaculate inside the womb) without any prior warning??? Literally all that's described is how painful it is for the MC, how much he's hurting like his bodies tearing apart; I'm sorry but that's literally just r*pe wtf??? Mind you, before this the ML randomly forced MC to give him a bl**job out of nowhere, and MC did get a bit mad, but of course right after it's glossed over and the ML acts too rough again

[collapse]

Aside from the r*pe which I am very angry at how poorly it's handled as if the pain the ML causes the MC during s*x just doesn't matter, the plot was pretty interesting. I liked the MC's character generally but he was kind of wishy-washy sometimes, like throughout the whole story you interpret that's he's a very soft, docile, and obedient person but suddenly he's described as very smart even though he didn't really do much to show that?

The face-slapping of the s*um husband was very satisfying though; the side characters were lacking a bit in my opinion but otherwise it was fine.

I'm just really disappointed at the very lighthearted approach to all of the ML's wrongdoings in bed, especially because he doesn't really ever change his actions, even after apologizing. I get that he's a strong Enigma that feels a lot more beastly, primal instincts, but still. The MC as a very weak omega and the ML as an ultra-dominant enigma just have such an astronomical power difference, with both pheromones and physicality, to the point it got a bit uncomfortable to read.

I usually don't mind blackbelly-type ML's or alpha/omega relationships, but the repeated overpowering/oppression of the MC in bed just made me uncomfortable, especially because I wasn't expecting anything like that going in. Either way, that's just my 2 cents on this---it was a good read for the smexy/heated atmosphere that's rare in Chinese danmei, but I unfortunately don't really feel comfortable reading more after the ML permanently marked the MC without consent. <<less

I haven't read a lot of this type of story where a married MC in a loveless marriage finally finds love in an ML not his husband, but I've found myself enjoying it a lot.

I loved how steadfast the ML had been the entire story. At the start I was not sure how invested he was in the MC, but he started doing stuff that are actually a big deal in making the MC feel valued. The MC didn't have to ask him or act coy, he just did it.

The... more>> melodrama did not drag out which was a plus, but I still felt the stakes and the real danger MCs tr*sh husband posed. <<less

I feel like sometimes it's just weird seeing novels put on this site and rated like every other danmei, because this is genuinely just a pwp kind of read, and expecting much more from it is a bit ridiculous. I read it directly from the raws a while back, and it was good for what I expected, a morally ambiguous but satisfying change of gongs and lots of papapa. The smut is varied, the plot makes sense, and the s*um gong is left behind for the much better gong; really... more>> you can't ask much more out of a short read like this.

I was very entertained and in full support of the cheating, with how awful the shou was being treated by his intial boyfriend, and the plot is very direct in showing just how much better the new guy is. I liked how aggressive but also doting he was in bed, and the shou really is someone you can't help but want to press down, being easily tossed around and his body being extremely sensitive in every way~

Go into this knowing what to expect and you won't be disappointed. Expect any actual plot and you probably will be. It's not badly written by any means outside of the smut, and I definitely got invested in the storyline, but it's not really that memorable outside of the basic premise. It's a pretty cliche plot, but sometimes that's really all you need with a pwp. Recommend for some light reading if you just want some smut haha <<less

Idk how to rate it. It was not that bad but at the same time giving anything more than 3 stars seems too many. But 3 probably is too little... they need a wider range of rating here.

My perception of the novel and characers changed the more I read it, from cinderella story to a dark thriller, from a knight in white armor to an unreasonble abusive psycho. The ML looked like such a green flag in the begining, and then just turned into someone you cannot like no matter... more>> how much you try. The MC was such a doormat with those he loved showing some backbone only at a rare occasion. And what is with all the slapping, ML? Try slapping your dick, your bastard!

Spoiler

and you should be aware that the ML FORCED the MC into permanent marking, the MC told him earlier that he thought it is too early for permanent marking and marriage but the ML did it anyway. Also even though the MC enjoyed their s*x most of the time, there were a lot of dubcon moments, like when the ML f*cked the MCs throat so he could not speak for a while aterwards or when he tried to force himself into the MCs birth cavity (or whatever it is called) for the first time while the MC was in terrible pain and begged him to stop. And again - slapping the buttocks and chest/tits. Like the f*ck dude why do you want to hurt the one you love?

[collapse]

Anyway, the work was not that bad in general, the adultery plot was quite interesting, and the pacing of the story was good, but I just couldnt like any characters, esp the mls. <<less

I'm not the biggest fan of adultery but this book actually wasn't bad. Fang Fengzhi was stuck in a one-sided relationship and Min Zhi came into his life when he was at his lowest. Neither of them really had any intention to have an affair. Initially, Min Zhi only noticed Fang because of his pheromones. Also, he noticed the friction between Fang and his husband, but he still had no intention of getting involved in their relationship. Despite Min Zhi's resolve to stay uninvolved, coincidentally, Fang and Min Zhi kept... more>> bumping into each other. Due to the neglect of Fang's husband, Min Zhi wound up coming to Fang's rescue more than once.

Spoiler

When Fang lost control of his pheromones and was surrounded by out-of-control Alphas, Min Zhi temporarily marked Fang to save him. Then when Fang went into heat and his husband refused to help him, Min Zhi took care of him. Fang could no longer take suppressants due to overusing them, at his husband's request, so the only way Min Zhi could help was thru s*x. During the process, Min Zhi took numerous suppressants to make sure his own pheromones wouldn't go out-of-control and cause him to hurt Fang or permanently mark him.

[collapse]

Min Zhi was probably the kindest person in Fang's life, so it actually made sense for Fang to fall for him. It wasn't like he immediately fell out of love with his husband just because Min Zhi was nice though. Fang loved his husband for years, but during that time, he was neglected and verbally ab*sed by his husband's family. Fang finally reached his breaking point when he confirmed that his husband was cheating on him throughout their entire relationship.

Spoiler

Some might disagree but initially I didn't think Fang's husband was the worst of the worst. He was a jerk or maybe 50% s*um for his cold treatment of Fang, but their marriage was an arranged marriage, so I understood his reluctance to open up to Fang. However, he shouldn't have married Fang if he wasn't going to treat him well. Fortunately, he didn't sleep with Fang while having no feelings, because I know quite a few s*um leads who would've done so. Then when Fang started pulling away, that's when his husband officially stepped fully into s*um territory. He became possessive, forcing a mark on Fang, almost ruining his glands.

[collapse]

Fang's husband only realized what a good thing he had when it was too late. Luckily for Min Zhi, he was quick to see Fang's good qualities. Still, their relationship was quite bumpy. Min Zhi was very insecure about their relationship because he knew Fang was the type to love hard, so he wondered if Fang fully let go of his ex, and because their relationship started with an affair, he wondered if Fang would fall for someone else. His insecurity caused him to act out in ways that were a bit toxic, but Fang did his best to calm Min Zhi's heart. Good thing Fang was patient, because Min Zhi was losing his mind trying to find ways to make sure Fang would never leave him. I thought Min Zhi's insecurities were understandable and realistic so while I might not agree with what Min Zhi did sometimes, I liked reading about how their relationship evolved and how they worked through their problems.

Overall, not a bad read. <<less

After reading several danmeis I've come to realize that most of them will always have some sorta illogical points in the plot. It depends how interesting the rest of the plot is and how much the reader is willing to tolerate those loop holes and continue reading the novel.

This novel wasn't interesting enough for me to tolerate the fact that one minute the husband doesn't like him and the next he suddenly does.... because 50% of the novel is still left and needs to be filled in.

Next, the enigmas.... more>> Oh gosh I hate them. It's like a shounen Manga where one dumb super power is being created to up the other one. Next thing you know something more dangerous will appear that can dominate an enigma..!

I understand that each author has the creative freedom to create a world they like but in my opinion this keeps getting more and more complicated yet dumb. Sometimes just going back to the basics makes sense. And basics from my perspective would be the world that Japanese mangas created for omegaverse. So many better plots can be created from those simple mangas.

Also as far as I read Idk how the enigma added anything to this plot. It was pointless.

I had just read a novel with similar plot about cheating which was executed much better and decided to drop this at around ch 39. <<less

just wow. Usually I only encounter enigma x alpha but never enigma x omega. This is refreshing genre so im giving bonus point for it. The story begin with fang fengzhi (shou) who married with an useless alpha. This useless alpha have another white moonlight even though he already have a wife.

Not only that Min zhi (gong) fall in love with that alpha (HAHAHA I KNOW RIGHT) Enigma prefer alpha in this setting so yah. So this kind of story where alpha cheated on omega, omega seek help from enigma,... more>> enigma feel confused as he only like alpha then the alpha that he like has two omega (one is his wife and one is his white moonlight) then turned out he prefer that wife omega pheromones then boom they do the papapap while the omega is still married with that useless alpha.

I like when omega cheated on his alpha. Power bottom haha since the alpha cheated first so its okay. When I was reading this, I cannot believe that the enigma who like that useless alpha would be very possessive towards the omega. Reminder this enigma is very possessive, domineering but is not ab*ser unless in bed hehe. <<less

I still can't stop thinking about this novel even after finishing it—it's that unforgettable. I absolutely loved it. I can't believe how underrated it is. I had been stuck in a reading slump, jumping from one book to another without anything really grabbing me. But this one? It hooked me completely—I couldn’t put it down.

The smut is incredibly intense, almost like watching a scene straight out of a movie. But beyond that, the plot was full of twists I never saw coming. What really stood out to me, though, was... more>> the emotional development between the Enigma and the Omega. I was especially drawn to the Enigma's possessiveness and unwavering determination to completely dominate the Omega—it made me blush more than once. <<less

4 stars ****

Reading this novel put me in trance! Half the book is smut. There is adultery. There is aggressive s*x, bordering in non-con.

... more>>
Spoiler

We meet our ML, who is the head of his company. We find out that he's take an interest in one of his subordinates. As an enigma, his first choice of partner is alpha, and this subordinate alpha is both good-looking and has a lovely camomile scent. His favorite!

Unfortunately, he is married, and his wife is our MC.

This alpha "husband" and his omega wife are destined mates with 100% compatibility. However, the alpha doesn't like his wife. He treats him coldly and is indifferent to their relationship. He cheats on him and is rarely ever home. As a result, MC has been using suppressants to navigate his estrus. This is both painful and unhealthy for him.

ML and MC meet accidentally and ML realizes that his favorite camomile scent actually belongs to MC, and not the alpha.

From here on out, you should never believe in this two-faced ML! He likes alphas, but he can't stay away from this camomile scented omega. He has strong and rigid morals, but he breaks them one by one to stay in this omega's vicinity. He knows he is married. Yet he offers to "help" MC during his estrus. He is gentle and kind to MC, but a beast in bed. Not accommodating at all!

Anyway, MC tried his best to maintain his marriage, but after the alpha refused to help him during his estrus, he turned to ML, resulting in adultery. Ok, he was out of his mind. From then on, MC decided divorce is the only answer. He knows what they did was wrong, and because he started having feelings for ML, he needed to end this marriage.

A lot of things happen, but the MC and ML stuck through them together. They eventually complete the permanent marking (made me glad I'm a beta.. Hehe), and MC ended up preggers. This right before ML went to "jail" for violence against an alpha. Yes, it was that alpha ex-husband who said what we were all secretly thinking about cheaters.

I think one of the more important issues happen in the last 3 chapters of extras. This is when MC finds out some very red flag things about ML (yeah, he's always been red flag, but this is beyond red for MC). ML's true self is exposed. This is regarding cheating. I'm so happy the author decided to include "the talk" about cheating.

All's well that ends well for merry couple!

[collapse]

I enjoyed this novel, but I do enjoy obsessive and possessive, psychologically unstable characters like ML. Recommend for people who enjoy the same. Again, this book includes infidelity, aggressive s*xual conduct (and lots of it), obsessive behaviors, and mpreg. Enjoy! <<less

Enjoyed this read a lot! It isn't perfect, but I did have a lot of fun reading.

Some things that bothered me were how the Shou, Fang Fengzhi, is portrayed in the story. Initially, he is in a very "weak" position as the victim being cheated on and is ab*sed by his husband. I really wanted him to become a strong independent powerful Omega fully in control! Unfortunately, that doesn't happen... but it is ok; as I let the story unfold I started appreciating the balance between the two protagonists a... more>> whole lot more. They are perfect for each other.
Spoiler

The Shou is still a very steadfast lover that keeps things holding together (woof). Readers just need to be aware of the dynamic at play here where the Shou is very much always in a weak/cowering/vulnerable/damsel-in-distress/pitiful puppy position. I enjoyed their relationship quite a lot more once I changed perception.

After all, it is a smutty Omegaverse so there are a lot of skewed power dynamics and non-con grey-zones in this read.

I was not really bothered by the cheating side of things seeing as the Shou is very guilt-free and deserving of happiness. It is, however, very much part of the story so readers need to be aware of the tags. It's ok to put aside a read if it makes you feel bad, especially if you have personal experiences with a partner cheating (then I would *not* recommend this read).

I talked a lot about the things that bothered me so just want to end on the note that I still found this story quite lighthearted and not too dramatic. It really was an enjoyable read! <<less

This story is about cheating, if you're uncomfortable, don't read it. However, do know you'll be missing out on something very well written.

This review contains SPOILERS, be warned.

The characters in my opinion, are all quite flawed, depicted realistically, and each action felt in line with their inherent personality.

Spoiler

The MC and his alpha have a 100% match rate, and the ML is an Enigma.

The ex-husband is a typical arrogant elite. An S class alpha with good looks, a successful career, and even a good family background. His pride is as high as the heavens, and so when he's forced to marry MC to produce a superior offspring, he is reluctant and his pride takes a huge blow. He wants a divorce, but his natural possessiveness won't allow it, and eventually he discovers he loves MC.

MC and ML's relationship starts off as a mistake at first, as all affairs do. They eventually separate without engaging in anything too intimate until MC is forced to a corner, and ML eventually gives in to temptation, and they share a night together.

The MC having cheated, and having gotten his husband's silent confirmation to having also cheated, felt that the marriage couldn't go on any longer, and became firm in his decision for divorce.

IMO, the ML at his core was similar to the ex husband, but he had more morals, and knew how to properly cherish someone he loved. He hated cheaters, but his love for MC drove him mad and the mutual affection cause him to give in. ML had pride, and he was also aggressive and sadistic, although often traits he suppressed and showed only in bed. He's possessive, and extremely jealous.

The depiction of their married life after the divorce was realistic, especially from a couple formed after an affair. ML was constantly scared. He loved MC and knew that MC wouldnever betray him, but the idea that MC left his 10 year long first love for him drove him mad, constantly thinking of what ifs. What if MC left him as resolutely for someone else? He also felt that he was getting old and so he used every means to cling to MC.

The Baby is so cuteee though, like, an Alpha that is clingy?? Oh, I can already imagine it. I hope we got a sequel about specifically just the baby.

Anyway, it was good, but I don't think I'll be rereading this. <<less
