Chapter 131: Are you okay
The grand manor stood silently under the blanket of night, its towering presence shrouded in a veil of mystery. The cold air was crisp, nipping at the edges of the massive stone walls, yet the warmth within was inviting, a stark contrast to the chill outside. Jiyeon and Yura entered the manor, the heavy doors closing behind them with a quiet thud that echoed softly in the vast entryway. Their footsteps were muffled by the thick, luxurious carpet as they made their way through the dimly lit halls, their shadows flickering in the glow of the wall sconces.
Jiyeon walked ahead, her posture exuding the quiet confidence of an Alpha. Her scent—vanilla, warm and soothing—permeated the air around her, a subtle yet undeniable presence. Yura followed close behind, her Omega instincts guiding her unconsciously toward the familiar, comforting aroma. Her own pheromones, the delicate sweetness of strawberries, lingered faintly in the air, usually subdued and controlled, but tonight there was an undercurrent of something different, something more intense.
They reached their shared bedroom, a spacious and elegantly decorated room that was both luxurious and comforting. The bed, draped in soft, silken sheets, stood as the centerpiece, its large size hinting at the intimacy they shared. Jiyeon crossed the room, shedding her jacket and tossing it onto a nearby chair with casual grace. She turned back to Yura, her eyes softening as she took in her Omega's appearance.
Yura seemed distracted, her movements slower than usual, almost hesitant. Jiyeon's brow furrowed slightly in concern. "Yura, are you alright?" she asked, her voice gentle but with an edge of worry.
Yura met her gaze, her eyes wide and slightly unfocused. "I… I don't know," she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. She swallowed, her throat suddenly dry, and glanced away, her hand coming up to rub at the back of her neck. There was an odd warmth there, an unsettling sensation that made her skin tingle.
Jiyeon's senses sharpened, and she took a step closer, her Alpha instincts kicking in. The air around them had subtly changed, a hint of something new creeping into the mix of their scents. The vanilla undertone of Jiyeon's pheromones was still dominant, but there was an unmistakable rise in the sweetness of strawberries—Yura's scent was growing stronger, richer.
"Yura…" Jiyeon's voice was low, almost a growl, as realization began to dawn on her. "Is it…?"
Yura nodded, a flush creeping up her cheeks as the warmth in her body began to spread. "I think… it's starting," she whispered, her eyes closing as she tried to steady herself. But the heat was building, intensifying with every passing moment. The familiar signs of her estrus period were unmistakable now—the way her skin felt too tight, the growing need pulsing through her veins, the almost overwhelming urge to be close to Jiyeon.
Jiyeon's heart raced, a mix of concern and instinctual desire warring within her. She reached out, gently cupping Yura's face in her hands. "Breathe, Yura," she murmured, her thumbs brushing soothing circles against her Omega's cheeks. "I'm here. We'll get through this."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Yura leaned into the touch, her breath hitching as the heat flared once more, stronger this time. The air around them grew thick, heavy with the mingling scents of strawberries and vanilla, each intensifying the other. It was intoxicating, a heady mix that made Jiyeon's blood sing with the primal call of the Alpha within her.
Yura's legs wobbled, and she clutched at Jiyeon's shoulders, seeking support as the room seemed to spin. "Jiyeon, I… I don't…" Her voice trembled, laced with a desperate need that she could no longer contain.
Jiyeon's eyes darkened, her pupils dilating as the scent of Yura's pheromones washed over her, filling her senses. She could feel her own control slipping, the Alpha instincts rising to the surface, urging her to claim, to protect, to satisfy the burning need that was consuming her Omega. But she fought against it, determined to remain in control for Yura's sake.
"It's okay," Jiyeon whispered, her voice thick with the effort of restraint. "I've got you."
But Yura's body had other plans. The heat was unbearable now, every inch of her skin tingling, begging for Jiyeon's touch. The scent of strawberries grew stronger, filling the room, making the air almost too thick to breathe. Yura whimpered, her knees buckling as the overwhelming need washed over her in waves.
Jiyeon caught her before she could fall, her strong arms wrapping around Yura's trembling form. The scent of strawberries was all around them now, sweet and cloying, wrapping around Jiyeon like a vice, squeezing the air from her lungs. Her Alpha instincts roared, demanding she do something, anything, to relieve the agonizing need radiating from Yura.
Yura's fingers clutched at Jiyeon's shirt, her breaths coming in short, shallow gasps. "Please…" she begged, her voice barely more than a desperate whisper. "Jiyeon, I need…"
Jiyeon's control snapped.
In one fluid motion, she swept Yura into her arms and carried her to the bed, laying her down gently but with an urgency that betrayed the storm raging within her. The room was spinning, the scents of their combined pheromones creating a heady mix that clouded Jiyeon's mind, driving her instincts to the forefront.
Yura's eyes were glazed over, her lips parted as she panted softly, her body writhing against the sheets as the heat within her reached a fever pitch. Jiyeon hovered above her, her own breathing ragged, as she fought to keep herself from losing control completely. But it was a losing battle. The sight of Yura, flushed and trembling beneath her, was too much to bear.
Jiyeon leaned down, her lips brushing against Yura's neck, right where the scent of strawberries was the strongest. Yura's breath hitched, her hands tangling in Jiyeon's hair, pulling her closer. The touch of her Omega's hands against her scalp sent a jolt of electricity down Jiyeon's spine, and she groaned softly, her lips parting as she nuzzled against the heated skin of Yura's neck.
The scent of strawberries was overwhelming now, filling Jiyeon's senses completely, drowning out everything else. Her fangs ached, her Alpha instincts screaming at her to bite, to mark, to claim. She could feel Yura's pulse racing beneath her lips, the frantic beat matching the pounding of her own heart.
Yura's voice was a soft whimper, almost lost in the haze of pheromones and heat. "Jiyeon… please…"
Jiyeon's control shattered.
With a low growl, she sank her fangs into the soft flesh of Yura's neck, right over the gland that pulsed with the sweet, intoxicating scent of strawberries. Yura cried out, her body arching off the bed as the sharp pain mingled with the overwhelming pleasure that followed. Jiyeon's hand found Yura's, their fingers intertwining as the Alpha injected her pheromones into Yura's system, the scent of vanilla mixing with strawberries in a heady, almost suffocating blend.
Yura's world exploded into a haze of heat and sensation, the bond between them tightening, sealing as Jiyeon's scent enveloped her completely. Her free hand clutched at the sheets, her breath coming in short, desperate gasps as the overwhelming need was finally, blissfully, satisfied.
Jiyeon held her there, her fangs buried deep in Yura's neck, until the last of the heat ebbed away, leaving both of them trembling and breathless. Slowly, she withdrew her fangs, licking the wound to seal it, her eyes dark with the aftershocks of the intense connection they had just shared.
Yura's body sagged against the bed, her eyes half-lidded and glazed over with the remnants of pleasure. She could still feel the warmth of Jiyeon's breath against her neck, the scent of vanilla wrapping around her like a comforting blanket. Her heart was still racing, but the frantic beat had slowed, replaced by a deep, contented thrum.
Jiyeon pulled back, her eyes softening as she looked down at Yura. The Alpha's instincts had receded, leaving behind only the deep, protective love she felt for her Omega. She brushed a strand of hair from Yura's face, her fingers gentle, as if afraid she might break her.
"Are you okay?" Jiyeon asked, her voice soft, laced with concern.
Yura nodded weakly, a small smile tugging at her lips. "Yes… I'm okay," she whispered, her voice still trembling slightly. She reached up, her fingers brushing against the mark Jiyeon had left on her neck. It was a small, tender wound, already healing, but the bond it represented was stronger than ever.
Jiyeon smiled, relief flooding through her. She leaned down, pressing a soft kiss to Yura's forehead. "I'm sorry if I hurt you…"
Yura shook her head, her smile widening. "You didn't. It was… it was perfect," she said, her voice filled with warmth and affection.
Jiyeon's heart swelled with love for the woman lying before her.
Jiyeon's heart swelled with love for the woman lying before her, the intensity of the moment settling into something gentler, something infinitely more tender. She gently stroked Yura's hair, her fingers weaving through the silky strands as they lay together in the aftermath of Yura's estrus. The room was still heavy with the mingling scents of strawberries and vanilla, but the urgency of the moment had passed, leaving behind only the deep, abiding connection between them.
Yura's breathing had slowed, her body gradually relaxing as the last vestiges of heat dissipated. She nestled closer to Jiyeon, seeking out the comforting warmth of her Alpha's embrace. Jiyeon responded immediately, wrapping her arms around Yura and pulling her closer, their bodies fitting together perfectly.
