Has the Alpha’s Heat Period Arrived?

Long Ling emerged from the tent, her cheeks flushed and almost steaming.

Fortunately, the spring breeze was cold, and a gust of wind carried away some of the heat from her face.

Seeing her come out of the tent so quickly, Nora put down the bread she was gnawing on, thinking, ‘Miss Long Ling is fast.’

As a maid, she had no choice but to cautiously ask, “Miss Long Ling, did the potion we bought that day not work? Should I go to the owner and ask for a refund?”

Long Ling’s temperature, which had just cooled down, immediately rose again: “Keep your voice down, I haven’t used it yet.”

Nora immediately made a sealing gesture with her hand.

She thought that if Miss Long Ling had used the potion and was still this fast, it would be too outrageous.

Long Ling cleared her throat: “Go and find Mina. According to what it said on the newspaper, the chef competition is coming up soon. I want to teach her some cooking methods.”

Nora summoned Mina, and on the way, she told her that the tavern was going to participate in the chef competition to attract customers.

However, Mina had some of her own ideas.

Liepa Town held one every year, and Mina’s family would catch a hundred salmon together to participate in the competition, just to get the encouragement award.

The ingredients used by each contestant were all salmon.

Even someone without any skilled chef abilities would know that steamed salmon was a dish, or smoked salmon, or cutting the fish into slices like a vegetable salad and mixing it together.

Although the methods were not as refined as Long Ling’s and the taste didn’t smell as delicious, if Long Ling chose the same cooking method, it wouldn’t stand out so much among a group of dishes.

The judges might get tired of eating it later, and even the most delicious delicacies would lose their appeal.

Moreover, their tavern was participating in the competition for the first time, so they wouldn’t receive the same attention as the champion contestants from previous ranking competitions, who would be the first to have their dishes tasted by the judges.

Excellent chefs even had their own fan clubs, which would garner a lot of votes during the voting process. It would be difficult for a novice chef to stand out without excellent skills.

After Mina finished speaking, she was still a little worried:

“Miss Long Ling, this is just my guess.

The chef who won first place in the Salmon Feast Chef Competition every year used a super-large red salmon, baked on a high-temperature grill until the skin was crispy and slightly yellow, mixed with butter, herbs, salt, and pepper for seasoning, and sprinkled evenly on the salmon.

Even the town chief and the viscount said it was delicious.”

Long Ling knew that there must be some hidden chefs in this world, and Mina had already helped her reveal information about the competitors, which was already very good.

If she wanted to win, she naturally couldn’t use sashimi or pan-fried salmon.

She had to choose dishes with a more assertive flavor.

Long Ling thought about making braised salmon in her mind, but rejected it.

If braised salmon was not kept warm after being cooked, the aroma would dissipate quickly, and the thick sauce would congeal after cooling, easily becoming greasy.

For a novice chef, the time given to attract attention to her dishes was not much.

If she wanted her dishes to be seen by those who could appreciate them, she needed a flavor that could catch people’s eyes, and also maintain the original taste of the dishes.

In that case, it would be best to make soup.

A classic folk delicacy flashed through Long Ling’s mind, and she instructed Nora and Mina:

“I’m confident. Go and pick more wild shepherd’s purse these next few days. I want to make some pickled vegetables in the crystal kitchen.”

As Long Ling’s maid, Nora was arranged by the Duke to accompany Long Ling, so she immediately nodded and said:

“Okay, Miss Long Ling, we’ll do it right away.”

Mina had seen Miss Long Ling’s culinary skills and already felt admiration:

“Yes, yes, Nora and I will go together.”

Having arranged for these two, Long Ling couldn’t help but stretch her body and look into the distance.

When she was an imperial chef in her previous world, she never had the opportunity to visit such beautiful places.

The sea, mountains, and rivers were all right in front of her now.

She had been to every place, and without having to consider complicated matters, being together with Miss Evil Dragon like this was pretty good.

Long Ling’s mood became cheerful.

Seeing many beautiful wildflowers in the distant grass, she picked some and prepared to give them to Miss Evil Dragon.

She also learned how to package bouquets in this world from Nora, making the bouquet very beautiful.

As the sun set, the birds returned to their nests, and they returned to the Ilidari Estate.

Long Ling and Violet got off the carriage together.

In the distance, a girl dressed like a little witch, wearing chainmail and a cloak, stood at the gate of the estate.

Behind her followed many guards. As soon as they saw her carriage stop, they rushed over.

She ran all the way into Loraine’s arms, hugging her tightly, burying her delicate face in Loraine’s neck and nuzzling lightly.

Loraine was a little surprised, and pushed her away slightly: “Beverly? Why are you here?”

Beverly put her hands on her hips:

“His Majesty said you were too slow at handling affairs, and it would be better to send me. Hmph, you deliberately left me for so long. When I’m not watching you, are you dating Alphas again!”

Loraine was annoyed by the child and took out a cigarette from the cigarette case: “Adult matters are none of a child’s business.”

Beverly was very dissatisfied: “I’m almost an adult. I’m not a child anymore. You’re an Omega, how can you smoke every day like an Alpha? I’ve said before…”

She suddenly saw the red mark on Loraine’s neck, and a pair of emerald green eyes instantly turned cold.

She looked around and smelled the scent of another Alpha’s pheromones.

Before she even saw the person, she immediately released her own pheromones to suppress them.

The lime-flavored pheromones spread out, and the strong, sour, and bitter scent was almost unbearable for everyone present except the Betas.

Violet had been marked by Long Ling’s strawberry pheromones these past few days, and she was about to forget what her own pheromones were like.

The higher the level of an Alpha’s pheromones, the more stimulating the scent at the moment of release.

Omegas would submit under the influence of strong Alpha pheromones.

This submission came from their genes.

Some inferior Alphas would take advantage of being an Alpha and use the unrestrained release of pheromones to force Omegas to lose their minds and enter heat.

After Violet was marked by Long Ling’s pheromones, the influence of other Alpha pheromones would be reduced.

In addition, she was originally a high-level Omega, so even A-level pheromones would only make her feel a little stimulated.

Loraine didn’t feel so good. The Alpha she had been dating a few days ago was only a B-level.

Even if it was her own younger sister, this A-level pheromone made her feel uncomfortable.

Long Ling instinctively felt repulsed by the other Alpha and couldn’t help but frown.

She didn’t want to cause a conflict, but when she saw Violet lightly touching her nose, Long Ling immediately released her own pheromones.

The S-level strawberry pheromones swept across the entire area, directly crushing Beverly until her face turned pale, and her legs couldn’t help but tremble, almost causing her to kneel on the ground.

Beverly looked at the source of the pheromones in disbelief.

A beautiful, silver-haired woman who looked even prettier than an Omega was actually releasing such strong Alpha pheromones.

Was this woman really an Alpha?

Beverly’s eyes were full of doubt, and her arrogant face showed a hint of humiliation as her pheromones were suppressed.

The most uncomfortable person was Loraine, who was caught between the two Alphas as their pheromones collided.

She hadn’t been temporarily marked by Alpha pheromones in the past few days, and her entire gland felt hot, vaguely showing signs of entering heat.

She didn’t expect that Long Ling not only cooked well, but also had pheromones that far exceeded the A-level.

No wonder Violet favored Long Ling so much.

Long Ling suppressed Beverly with her pheromones and looked down at Violet with concern: “Violet, are you alright?”

Violet nodded slightly: “I’m fine.”

Without Long Ling’s temporary pheromone mark, she might have been affected by the Alpha’s pheromones, but now it was completely painless.

Beverly was trembling all over, but she was still unwilling to give in:

“Heh, a strawberry-flavored Alpha who looks so delicate, with skin more tender than an Omega, doesn’t have any Alpha flavor at all. Sister, when did your tastes change?”

‘This kid, does she know that her mouth is really offensive?’

After taking the medicine, Loraine immediately pulled the troublesome Beverly behind her and explained to the two with an embarrassed smile:

“This little brat hasn’t come of age yet and is spoiled. Her mouth needs to be disciplined. I’ll teach her a lesson when we get back.”

Violet’s dark golden eyes flashed with coldness when she heard others say that about Long Ling: “If you don’t discipline her well, I have plenty of ways to teach her a lesson.”

Long Ling frowned. She knew she wasn’t a fierce Alpha, but she had never been told that before.

Did she really not have any Alpha flavor in the eyes of other Alphas?

But with Violet speaking up for her, she wasn’t so angry anymore.

It was enough as long as Miss Evil Dragon liked her.

Beverly felt uncomfortable being suppressed by Long Ling’s pheromones, but she was also a little afraid of Violet, so she could only make a face at Long Ling in frustration.

Loraine flicked her forehead: “Be honest. That’s your Violet’s fiancé, Long Ling.”

Beverly stomped her foot in anger, gathered her chainmail cloak, and scoffed: “Hmph! What fiancé? Do you think I don’t know? You’re just playing around…”

Before she could finish her words, Loraine covered her mouth and dragged her into the estate.

Long Ling’s brows furrowed even tighter, her eyes a little dazed.

Suddenly, someone gently patted the back of her hand.

Violet was looking at her: “Beverly is too rude. Tonight, I’ll have housekeeper Marcia ask them to leave.”

Long Ling knew that Violet was rarely concerned about her, and a smile bloomed on her face again: “It’s okay, she’s just a child. Her pheromone level isn’t even as high as mine.”

Violet saw that she didn’t take it to heart, and her expression softened a lot.

Long Ling gave Nora a look, and Nora quickly placed the bouquet in her hands behind her back.

Long Ling felt the weight in her hand, touched the soft petals, and then held the bouquet of flowers in front of Violet, offering it to her with both hands: “This is for you.”

A large bouquet of bright, colorful flowers bloomed before her eyes, the pale blue hyacinths quiet and fragrant, not as bright as Long Ling’s eyes, her face sweet and lovely.

Violet took the bouquet and sniffed it lightly.

Violet’s lips curled into a smile, and she said softly, “It smells good. You were very good today.”

Long Ling’s heart was pounding.

Thinking about what would happen at night, she actually wasn’t that good.

Her eyes sparkled: “If you like it, I can pick a bouquet of flowers every day and give them to you.”

Violet asked, “What if I send too many and there’s no room in the bedroom?”

Long Ling hesitated: “We can also put them in the hallway.”

Violet said softly: “Next time, send little strawberries instead.”

Long Ling gave a soft “mm”:

“Then I’ll go to the farm in a couple of days and ask them to plant some strawberries.

The last few times I saw you drinking red wine while eating, when the strawberries are ripe, I can make some strawberry wine for you.”

Violet was speechless for a moment, and turned the ruby on her finger, intending to leave this little strawberry dragon who didn’t understand romance behind.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Long Ling couldn’t help but reach out and grab Violet’s hand.

Violet’s fingers were very slender, with distinct joints, and she could see the blue veins under her fair skin.

Long Ling’s cool hand was wrapped in Long Ling’s hand, her fingertips brushed along her fingertips, bringing a slight itch. Violet raised her eyes to look at Long Ling.

Long Ling’s fingertip pressed against the ruby ring on Violet’s finger, and she said softly,

“Why are you leaving without saying a word? If you prefer sweets, I can make them for you too.”

Violet’s gaze fell on Long Ling. How did this clingy little milk dragon suddenly become so flirtatious?

Their eyes met, Long Ling was stunned for a moment, and quickly withdrew her hand: “I didn’t mean to. I just wanted to keep you here.”

Violet watched as the little milk dragon’s cheeks turned red again, and her dragon horns popped out.

She wasn’t this shy in bed. So what if she touched her hand? She didn’t say she couldn’t touch her.

Violet said reservedly: “If I don’t return to the estate, what do you want me to do here?”

Long Ling realized that she had just been a little stupid.

If Violet wanted to leave, she could just catch up with her.

Why did she have to hold Violet’s hand, making her seem like a very rude dragon.

A hint of embarrassment flashed in her eyes, and her neck turned pink: “Well, can I push you for a while?”

Violet nodded slightly, seeing the shyness sparkling in Long Ling’s eyes.

Long Ling’s lips curved upward, and she walked behind Violet’s wheelchair, gently pushing Violet into the estate.

The evening breeze blew through Violet’s long, curly black hair, making her look very gentle, and the clouds in the sky became romantic.

Dinner was made by Long Ling herself, a table full of hot stir-fries, as well as pudding desserts made by the estate’s chef.

Originally, there was also a portion prepared for Loraine, but because Beverly had spoken rudely, Loraine was also implicated.

Violet didn’t let the guards kick them out of the estate tonight, so it was already generous of her, and she only let them dine on the other side of the luxurious dining table.

Beverly smelled the aroma of all the delicious food and was already drooling.

She heard Loraine say that those were all made by Long Ling for Violet, and she couldn’t help but mutter silently in her heart.

An Alpha who only knew how to please an Omega every day had completely lost face for the Alpha.

Under Violet’s power, Beverly, even as a noble princess, didn’t dare to go against her on the great evil dragon’s territory.

Beverly could only complain to her sister in a low voice:

“Sister, how come the food made by that Long Ling smells so good? She’s so stingy, and she’s even an Alpha.

I just said a few words to her, why is she still arguing with a child like me? She even told Violet not to let us eat together.”

Loraine was also longing for the food. If Beverly hadn’t suddenly come today, she wouldn’t have been sitting on the sidelines and missed out on the delicious feast.

After all, she was her own sister, so she only said softly: “Alright, we’ll leave Ilidari early tomorrow morning. If you dare to anger Violet again, I really won’t be able to clean up the mess for you.”

Beverly snorted twice, eating the bland food prepared by the estate’s chef for them.

Smelling the tempting aromas of the dishes she hadn’t even tasted, she couldn’t swallow it and pushed the plate away, saying she didn’t want to eat anymore.

Loraine was used to her willfulness and only told her:

“This isn’t the royal palace. If you’re hungry at night, there won’t be a dedicated chef to cook for you.”

Beverly muttered softly: “I know, I know.”

After dinner, Long Ling thought she could spend a wonderful night with Violet, but Loraine suddenly walked over and said to Violet,

“Violet, I plan to leave tomorrow. I still have something to discuss with you tonight. It won’t take up too much of your time, is that okay?”

Violet knew what Loraine was planning.

Some cruel and dark things were not suitable for the little dazed dragon to know.

Violet raised her eyebrows slightly: “Let’s talk in the study.”

Long Ling thought that Violet would tell her something before going to discuss matters with Loraine, but she didn’t expect Violet to agree to Loraine so easily.

Instead, Loraine noticed her somewhat disappointed expression and comforted her softly, “Don’t worry, I won’t talk to Violet for too long, and I certainly won’t disturb your nightlife.”

Long Ling blushed at her words and looked at Violet expectantly: “Then I’ll wait for you in the bedroom tonight.”

Violet’s neck felt hot from her gaze.

The gaze of a young Alpha was always so fiery.

The two Omegas left together.

Long Ling originally planned to go and wash herself up, but Beverly walked over from the other side of the dining table, deliberately walking in front of her and blocking her path.

“You’re that Alpha dragon from the Arnold family?”

Long Ling knew that the visitor was not friendly and ignored Beverly.

Seeing that she was ignoring her, Beverly was angered by the humiliation she felt when Long Ling’s pheromones suppressed her.

She looked Long Ling up and down and sneered.

“You don’t look as tall as Sister Sylvia, and you’re not as mature.

Your dragon form seems to be silver, not at all gorgeous. How could Sister Violet really like you?”

Long Ling knew that she hadn’t come of age yet and didn’t take her words to heart.

She only said coldly: “None of your business.”

Beverly was provoked by her aloof gaze and quickly suppressed her anger.

A wicked smile appeared on her lips, and she suddenly moved closer to Long Ling’s ear.

“You wouldn’t think that if you please Sister Violet like this, she’ll always be with you, would you?

Before you, hasn’t anyone told you what happened between Sister Sylvia and Sister Violet?”

Long Ling clenched her fists and said coldly, “I don’t want to know.”

Beverly felt her agitated pheromones.

The pheromones between Alphas were mutually exclusive, but seeing Long Ling angry made her excited.

Beverly gently blew a breath into Long Ling’s ear: “Let me tell you, before Violet was with you, she was originally going to marry Sister Sylvia.

They’ve known each other for hundreds of years. During that time, Violet was injured, and the two dragons lived in the same house. You should know what happens when an Alpha and an Omega are alone together.

Even though Violet and Sylvia aren’t together now, it must be because of some misunderstanding.

They’ll reconcile sooner or later, and you’re just a temporary seasoning between them. It’s better to recognize your own identity sooner.”

Long Ling’s fingers turned white, and she transformed into her dragon form, suddenly grabbing Beverly’s collar.

The tyrannical pheromones made Beverly’s face pale, but she smiled indifferently:

“Even if you hit me, you can’t change the fact that you’re being played with. I’m just kindly reminding you not to get too attached. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Sister Loraine. Everyone knows about this except for me.

Violet hasn’t told you, has she? Do you know why she didn’t tell you? Because to her, you’re just a momentary novelty. You wouldn’t really think of yourself as Violet’s Alpha, would you?”

Long Ling tightened her dragon claws again, Beverly’s face gradually turned red, and she was about to suffocate, her hands drooping weakly.

Long Ling saw her delicate neck and trembling slender arms and suddenly realized that the other party was still a young dragon.

She was killing someone.

Long Ling suddenly let go and left the restaurant alone.

Beverly fell to the ground, rubbed her red neck, and revealed a smug smile.

In the warm bathtub, large tears rolled silently down Long Ling’s cheeks, falling into the pool and causing ripples.

Her hands hugged her knees, her cold cheeks pressed against her legs, and her silver hair hung down on one side, like a lonely beast licking its wounds.

Every time she thought that life was going to get better, she was always hit, as if telling her that she didn’t deserve to embrace a good future.

She had already told herself not to think about Violet’s past, and whoever she had been entangled with was in the past.

As long as she and Violet were together now, they would be happy in the future, but why did someone always have to bring it up in her ear?

Who did Violet really like, and did she not care about her at all in her heart, or was she not important in Violet’s eyes, so she could only get very general praise, and would never be as good as the best person in Violet’s heart?

Where was she worse than the other party?

Why couldn’t she think that she was the best?

Why couldn’t she belong only to her?

Jealousy made Long Ling’s eyes turn even redder.

She opened the potion she bought from the potion store, pulled out the cork, and the pale purple liquid swayed in the potion bottle.

This was the first time she had drunk this potion.

The potion smelled very fresh. She took a sip, and it tasted as light as water.

Long Ling waited for a while after drinking it, but she didn’t feel any special reaction, as if she had just drunk a mouthful of water.

Not only was she frustrated in love, but she was also scammed when buying medicine…

Long Ling felt even more bitter.

Thinking that she had been in the bathroom for too long, the potion hadn’t taken effect, she put on her bathrobe and went to the bedroom.

She went to the bed in the bedroom and sat down, continuing to wait, but there was still no reaction.

Long Ling sighed, lay down on the bed, her eyes dazed for a while, and two lines of tears automatically slid down from the corners of her eyes.

It seemed that it really didn’t work.

She wiped away the tears on the soft blanket and sadly picked up a bottle of wine from the collection cabinet next to the bed.

She snapped off the bottleneck with her sharp dragon claws and drank it down.

This wine tasted much better than the potion just now.

The more she drank, the more she felt like she was okay again.

Long Ling leaned against her chubby dragon tail, and after drinking the whole bottle, she didn’t feel so sad anymore.

She leaned against the corner, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes gradually blurred.

As soon as Violet opened the bedroom door, she noticed that it was pitch black inside, but the strawberry pheromones had reached a very excessive state.

The dense pheromones made the air sticky and watery, and even Elena, who was serving by her side, couldn’t help but bow and ask.

“Your Grace, should I call a few guards over to clean up the bedroom to avoid hurting you?”

Violet thought that Long Ling might have entered her heat period, and the glands on her neck were very uncomfortable with the strawberry pheromones that were pouring in: “No need to call the guards. Go and get some suppressants first.”

Elena quickly went to get the suppressants and handed them to Violet, but couldn’t help but worry:

“Your Grace, should I stay by your side? If an Alpha in heat dares to attack you, I can protect your safety.”

Violet gripped the cold suppressants in her hand and glanced at Elena lightly.

Elena immediately stopped talking and bowed to close the bedroom door for Violet.

Violet turned her wheelchair and walked towards the room.

Dragons had strong night vision, and it was also easy for Omegas to find Alphas based on pheromones.

However, under the strong strawberry pheromones, Violet’s face became more and more flushed as she approached, and the glands on her neck became more and more moist.

Her fingertips couldn’t help but tremble, and the suppressant patch was quickly soaked with sweat, hanging loosely on her fair neck.

This was the surprise that Long Ling had prepared for her, putting herself in heat and wanting her to enter heat with her?

Violet continued to move forward, her slender fingers touching her soaked suppressant patch.

She originally wanted to throw it away and replace it with another one, but as soon as she tore it open a little, the strawberry-flavored pheromones seemed to kiss her, like being embraced and marked by an Alpha from behind, causing her to gasp softly from the intense thirst deep inside her body.

Her brain was completely occupied by the scene of being marked by an Alpha, the surging tide inside her body when the sharp canine tooth pierced in, and the beautiful rosy glow dyed her body extremely enchanting and sensual.

If she entered heat with Long Ling like this, Long Ling’s body would not be able to withstand her demands.

Violet trembled and picked up the cold suppressant, but suddenly heard Long Ling’s muffled groan.

Long Ling was curled up in the corner, her fair face flushed, her eyes dazed, her silver dragon tail drooping on the ground, her crystal clear dragon horns glowing red, and several empty wine bottles scattered beside her.

She was too drunk, and her pheromones were in a state of outburst.

Without an Omega to relieve her, she bit her lips red, and bright red beads of blood seeped from her lower lip.
