My Perfect Omega - Chapter 43

When he had visited before, Anna had been standing by the door, but today there was no one. Not only at the door, but throughout his approach, there were no signs of servants near her room.

How could they claim she was their child while leaving a blind woman like this, he wondered, feeling angry. Lucas knocked cautiously. It was early morning, and he began to worry.

Knock, knock. Lucas waited for her to respond after knocking, but there was no reaction. He had no choice but to knock a few more times. Thinking she might still be asleep, he knocked louder, but there was no sign of movement from within.

A sudden bad thought crossed Lucas’s mind. Grasping the door handle, he muttered quietly,

“Excuse me, my lady.”

As he opened the firmly closed door, a sweet yet fresh scent of pheromones mixed with the aroma of grass filled the air. The smell was so strong it gave him chills. He had never encountered such powerful pheromones that could excite him, a hyper-dominant alpha.

During his academy days, omegas about to enter their heat cycles would deliberately appear before him, releasing pheromones to seduce him, but he had never felt anything.

But this was different.

“…Heat cycle?”

Even just yesterday, while sharing a carriage with her, he had barely noticed her pheromones. She had only a faint, pleasant scent. He never imagined she could emit such a vast amount of pheromones.

They had only talked about her being a hyper-dominant omega, but he hadn’t realized just how potent a hyper-dominant omega’s pheromones could be.

“Damn it.”

Covering his mouth and nose with his hand, he pondered briefly. Should he bring a beta? No, if he wasted time, the people in this house might find an excuse to hide Leila again.

In that short time, they could even send Leila to Count Wagner. Having decided to make her his own, Lucas thought it was only right to take responsibility, despite his increasingly flushed face. He opened the door wide.

The room was filled with an overwhelming fragrance from all kinds of flowers, so intense it was almost unbearable. It was like discovering a secret garden deep in the mountains, full of fresh, fragrant, and sweet pheromones.

“Ugh.”

Even with his mouth and nose covered, he couldn’t help but deeply inhale her pheromones, his face displaying a look of ecstasy as he slowly approached her.

Wondering why her pheromones were so thick, he saw that Leila had fallen asleep on the sofa in the reception room, not on her bed.

“You…”

Approaching cautiously, he noticed her breathing was very rough. Lucas, quickly realizing this, hurriedly approached to examine her condition closely.

But the closer he got, the more ferocious the omega pheromones felt. Though he tried to hold his breath to avoid the pheromones, it was futile.

The pheromones of omegas and alphas didn’t just affect the sense of smell; they also worked through touch. With Leila’s pheromones clinging to him provocatively, his eyes became hazy. The urge to invade her space grew strong.

“Ha…”

Exhaling the breath he had been holding, he placed his hand on Leila’s forehead. It was hard for both alphas and omegas to maintain their sanity during their heat, but he hadn’t heard of a fever being part of it.

Realizing Leila was sick, he quickly looked around. She was sweating profusely and trembling.

He ran to the dressing room to find a robe, but there were only a few shabby dresses, and even those were in poor condition, as if the jewels on them had been ripped off.

“…This is too much.”

There was nothing of the luxuries a noble lady should naturally enjoy.
