...
Queen and Liu Wei slept together peacefully, without any awkwardness in each other's presence. It felt as natural as breathing to them.
Hours passed quickly, and lunchtime approached. As instructed, neither Huan Yang nor Anna disturbed them.
Wang Zheng had a habit of getting little sleep, so despite being extremely tired, she woke up after just a few hours.
The first thing she saw upon waking was Liu Wei's beautiful face next to hers. The young omega was peacefully sleeping, seemingly in a good dream.
The queen smiled inwardly. That girl was hers, wasn't she?
There was no longer any pretense between them, no denying that they were lovers and that they were together.
Of course, they still couldn't go public with the Blood Spring ongoing, but they were no longer just allies. They shared something strong and intense within themselves.
Wang Zheng sighed loudly and moved closer to Liu Wei, inhaling the warmth and fragrance of her skin. The young omega smelled of mint and soap, a truly pleasant scent.
The queen had reservations in her heart. They were together now, but what would the future hold? She couldn't simply erase her obligations and the pressure mounting on her to marry and have children.
Liu Wei feared their relationship might be just a fleeting adventure, and Wang Zheng feared she wouldn't be what Liu Wei truly wanted.
Insecurities lingered, hovering in their minds.
Liu Wei was not a heavy sleeper. She woke when she felt the queen approach. She smiled inwardly.
"Good morning…" The sleepy, husky voice echoed softly in the quiet room. The young omega felt a light kiss on her cheek before she could fully open her eyes, but the sweet smell of pineapple made her heart leap.
The queen felt deeply fond of that princess. Yes, it was a wonderful day. "Good morning, Liu Wei..."
Noticing that the little princess wasn't fully awake, she continued to watch her breathe, eyes still closed. "You sleep so little… I can feel you watching me."
Wang Zheng found it amusing as a pair of hands wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer. "I really don't sleep much. Did I wake you?"
Liu Wei buried her face in the crook of Wang Zheng's neck, seemingly recharging her energy. "No. I woke up feeling hungry."
The queen could feel the young omega nestled against her neck, and the closeness made her body heat up. After all, she was still completely unclothed, and so was Liu Wei.
"What are you doing?" Liu Wei had always shown boldness and a systematic approach. She was often dominant and controlling, but Wang Zheng didn't mind. She simply felt the girl might get frustrated if things didn't go her way. However, this didn't affect their relationship.
But now the queen was Liu Wei's omega. How would the young omega behave after marking her? The queen couldn't help but wonder.
Liu Wei pulled slightly away from the queen's neck, finally opening her eyes. Seeing the queen watching her gave her a very good feeling. She felt happy. "I'm smelling my scent next to yours."
The queen smiled, amused. "Do you like it?"
The young princess nodded and took a deep breath. "Yes…"
Liu Wei knew she now had to take good care of her omega, so she struggled to get out of bed to brush her teeth.
The queen admired the young woman's body, marked with her bite marks, and felt satisfied. She had no regrets.
The temporary mark was a bit painful for a gland that had never been marked, especially when made by an omega.
Wang Zheng could still feel a slight burning sensation from the bite.
But it wasn't nearly as uncomfortable as estrus had been.
Liu Wei, showing no shyness, brushed her teeth while looking at the queen, who, in contrast, felt bashful.
The queen got up, wrapped in her sheets, and grabbed the first change of clothes she could find, handing them to Liu Wei. The young omega had only the party clothes she had worn before, and Anna wasn't allowed to enter until Monday. The queen planned to lend Liu Wei some clothes so she wouldn't keep walking around, exposing all her skin.
"Here, use this. Do you want anything special for breakfast?"
Liu Wei thought for a moment. She wanted coffee and cake. She quickly finished brushing her teeth and dried her face. "I want coffee and cake."
The queen smiled with satisfaction. They really did look like a couple, didn't they?
"I'll tell Huan Yang to get it, and we'll eat here in the room."
"Okay."
The queen quickly took out her phone, and within two rings, Huan Yang answered the call. The young alpha couldn't hide the relief in his voice as he promptly prepared breakfast for the queen and the other omega.
After hanging up, she felt Liu Wei hugging her from behind and couldn't suppress the satisfaction of having her so close. The young princess hugged her and began placing kisses and licks around the temporary mark.
An omega's saliva didn't have the same anesthetic effect as an alpha's, but the caresses still played an important role in strengthening the bond between partners. Kissing a newly made mark was an unconscious gesture of possession and care.
"Are you in pain?" Liu Wei asked softly.
"Not much."
Liu Wei blew more kisses, and the pineapple scent clung to the tip of her nose. So sweet.
"If you're in any trouble, tell me, and I'll take care of you."
Wang Zheng felt her heart race at Liu Wei's sweet words. She turned to face her. "Then take good care of me."
They gently brought their lips together in a silent plea for contact and affection, still exploring what they could be and what they already were. Their hearts were still filled with insecurity, but there was love blossoming.
After a few seconds of contact, Liu Wei subtly pulled away and gently touched the queen's hair. Wang Zheng was such a beautiful woman. Liu Wei smiled beautifully, and the queen's smile mirrored hers.
The queen let go of Liu Wei's arms and entered the bathroom for her hygiene.
The eldest omega couldn't be as uninhibited as Liu Wei, and the door stayed closed throughout.
The princess put on the clothes that had been handed to her and sat obediently on the bed. It was the first time she could calmly observe the room. Although it was bigger, it wasn't much different from the room she had stayed in before. It simply looked like a more spacious, modern version. There were books and a computer, and flowers and paintings adorned the decor.
A few minutes later, the queen appeared again, fully dressed. The young omega couldn't hide a slight hint of disappointment.
The queen found it amusing. "Why that face?"
"I prefer you without clothes on."
The queen was taken by surprise and then burst out laughing. "I can't be without clothes all day. Do you want me to catch a cold?"
Liu Wei shook her head, looking like a spoiled child who had just lost her last candy.
The queen wanted to spoil that little girl. "So… then I can take it off just for you…"
The queen's voice was like a beautiful whisper, and Liu Wei couldn't suppress the rising heat in her glands. "Just for me?"
The queen smiled broadly, filled with confidence and kindness. "Of course, who else would I be naked for?"
"I don't know."
Liu Wei still had her childish moments, and the queen sighed inwardly. "I'm your omega now… and you're mine too. I don't want you marking anyone but me."
The queen spoke firmly, her velvety, husky voice so alluring. Liu Wei loved it, especially when the queen gave orders, always so powerful and confident.
Liu Wei closed her eyes and just looked defeated. "If we keep going like this, I don't know if we'll be able to eat breakfast."
"Why?"
What Wang Zheng still didn't understand was that while her estrus was weaker, Liu Wei had strained her glands so much that she was now the one getting closer to her own estrus.
The room was thick with mint.
Liu Wei wasn't stronger than Wang Zheng, but in that moment, she acted purely on instinct. The queen was easily defeated and trapped beneath her body. "Because now I really want my omega completely unclothed for me…"
Wang Zheng could feel her glands burning again. That girl really wanted to drive her crazy.
"Liu Wei..."
