Chapter 34: Marking 

Sade held Lin You tightly in his arms, unable to wait any longer to get home. They got into the starship prepared by the royal escorts, and even in the back seat, he didn’t loosen his grip for a second. He was like a treasure hunter who had finally found his prize—or more fittingly, a golden dragon who had just snatched up a priceless gem. His mind was consumed by a single thought: to get home as quickly as possible and hide his treasure away so no one could covet it.

Lin You hadn’t drunk much—just a few sips of the final champagne toast. The scent and taste of alcohol on him came from Sade. He lay nestled in Sade’s arms, soft and quiet, his body rising and falling with Sade’s breathing as he inhaled the other’s scent, listening to his low murmurs, feeling the subtle vibrations in his chest. Everything felt fuzzy, as though he were floating.

The royal guard’s starship flew at top speed, and with priority traffic clearance, Sade took the fastest route straight home—to their two-story Western-style house, now a place that belonged solely to the two of them.

As soon as the door shut behind them, Sade pinned Lin You against it and kissed him. Lin You, now pressed against the cold, hard door instead of Sade’s warm chest, gave him a look—but Sade didn’t care. After all, he had finally brought his precious one home.

Right there at the doorway, Sade entered him. He wasn’t particularly gentle—rougher than usual. Even as he stole Lin You’s breath with deep, hungry kisses, he’d already lifted his clothes and pulled down his pants, entering him from behind with one thrust, all the way to the hilt, like a beast.

All Alphas were beasts! The beast within Sade had been restrained for years under General Allen’s guidance—taught to be disciplined, to control himself. But now, the Queen and General wanted him to become a king—to awaken his instincts, his dominance, his desire to rule the empire.

Yet the only thing Sade ever wanted to control… was Lin You.

Every S-class individual had something wrong with them—the difference lay in where and how serious it was. Lin You’s issue was the monthly heat cycle, which had become fairly regular and manageable, hardly interfering with his life anymore.

Sade’s issue was a dangerously intense need for control—especially when it came to his Omega.

He didn’t want anyone else to even look at Lin You. He didn’t want anyone to speak about him, to touch him, or even to be around him. His ideal world was one where Lin You was caged within his territory—just like this house, which was perfect. A place where Lin You could stay forever, isolated from the world, never needing to see or speak to anyone else.

Lin You’s world should revolve around him—and him alone.

From the moment he saw Lin You at eighteen, he had begun suppressing these possessive urges. Because he knew how brilliant Lin You was. He wanted to see him shine, to proudly show the world that such an outstanding Omega was his. But the more Lin You glowed and gained admiration, the more intense Sade’s possessiveness grew—and the more he wanted to hide him away where no one else could reach.

Sade’s overwhelming possessiveness made his thrusts even rougher. Lin You was pinned against the door, completely unable to move—like a butterfly nailed to a display board. Sade’s scent became unstable too; the usually fresh ocean fragrance was now heavy and oppressive, rushing over like a storm with a sharp, metallic tang.

“…Sade…” Lin You panted heavily, his olive-like bitter scent growing stronger, like a ship sailing headfirst into crashing waves, struggling against the current and surging forward toward Sade.

With trembling hands, Lin You reached behind and found Sade’s. He gently squeezed his fingers, then interlaced them together. Lin You understood Sade’s excitement, and he was willing—and able—to accept and embrace it. After all, in this world, no one but him could handle Sade. That, he thought, was the true meaning of their bond.

Sure enough, Sade was soothed by Lin You’s scent and touch. Though his movements remained intense, his pace slowed a little. He focused on Lin You’s sensitive spots, showering him with kisses while continuing to thrust deep. Eventually, he released inside him.

Sade picked Lin You up with one arm and carried him upstairs to their bedroom. This time, he laid him down face-to-face. Lin You bore the full weight of his body, half-sinking into the mattress. The Alpha’s strong arms wrapped around his Omega, pulling him in tightly. Their lower halves pressed firmly together. Sade entered him again—this time deeper and slower, but every movement was gentle. His thrusts stirred and mixed the earlier release still inside Lin You, the friction bringing both the semen and Lin You’s own arousal out, smearing the sheets beneath them.

“Yuyou… Yuyou… my precious… my precious…” Sade murmured into Lin You’s ear again and again, his voice fragmented between gasps.

This is mine… I want to mark him… I have to mark him!

That was the only thought left in Sade’s head. And in the afterglow of a successful proposal, after bringing Lin You home, he was overwhelmed with excitement—so much so that he completely gave in to instinct.

Like a devout worshipper before his god, Sade gently sank his fangs into the gland on Lin You’s neck—and then released a surge of his pheromones. The bite had been soft, but the mark left behind was dense and powerful. His Alpha scent spread from Lin You’s nerves to every corner of his body. Lin You’s Omega instincts took over—his body trembled and spasmed like a small animal, all sense of control lost. All he could do was curl up in his Alpha’s arms, seeking comfort and protection.

Afterward, Lin You was completely limp. He lay dazed and motionless, allowing Sade to do as he pleased. Sade, now in a blissful mood, gently cleaned them both up, dressed Lin You in his own pajamas, carefully dried his long hair, and then used a boar-bristle brush to smooth it strand by strand.

“Isn’t this troublesome?” Lin You asked, eyes comfortably half-closed, enjoying Sade’s pampering.

“Your hair is beautiful,” Sade said with a smile. Even though drying it took time, it was absolutely worth it.

“When I was little, the High Priest said my hair helped improve mental focus during spiritual training, so I never cut it,” Lin You said.

“That’s nice. Your hair really is beautiful… So in the temple… was the High Priest your guardian?” Sade had never quite figured out who had adopted Lin You. He’d always assumed the High Priest had looked after him, but based on what Lin You said, it didn’t seem that way. Lin You rarely brought him up outside of work.

“Probably not,” Lin You replied. “There’s no one else listed on my household registry. It’s true that the High Priest picked me up and brought me to the temple, but he didn’t really take care of me. I just had a place to sleep and a fixed amount of food each day. The only thing I was lucky with was having a strong spiritual power. Everyone called me a genius, so they were happy to teach me. That’s pretty much it.” Lin You figured the way he was taken in was no different than someone picking up a stray kitten or puppy.

“I wasn’t starving and had somewhere to sleep. The rest was up to fate. I was lucky—born with talent—so I managed to survive till now,” Lin You said with a touch of self-mockery. He rarely shared these things with Sade, since they weren’t exactly happy memories, but maybe because the mood tonight felt just right, he found himself opening up.

“Then let me spoil you like a baby now. Let me take care of you,” Sade said, feeling a pang of heartache as he pulled Lin You into his arms, gently pinching his cheek.

“……” Lin You looked at Sade with amusement. He really didn’t need anyone to take care of him. But after pausing for a moment, he added shyly, “But… I guess I have a home now.” From now on, Sade would be his family.

“Mm… I finally brought you home,” Sade said emotionally, holding Lin You even tighter. “Yuyou, do you want to move in first? Mimi would also have more space here. I know your commute would be farther, but I can arrange for someone to drive you, or even get you a starship of your own,” he offered.

Lin You buried his face into Sade’s shoulder and gave a small, obedient nod.

That night, Sade was in an incredibly good mood. He brought out the blue diamond ring again and slipped it onto Lin You’s finger, holding his hand and staring at it for a long while. No matter how long he looked, he felt nothing but pure happiness. He even took tons of photos. Lin You eventually gave up resisting and just let him do whatever he wanted.

(To be continued…)
T/L: I understand that Sade’s intense possessiveness and desire to control stem from his instincts as an S-Class Alpha, and yes—it’s something that can feel a little “off.” But I sincerely hope this won’t affect his relationship with Lin You in a negative way. I really wish his possessiveness won’t become a hindrance to Lin You’s growth, freedom, or individuality moving forward. Let’s trust that their love finds balance. 💙
