Lee Jaeha was the heir of Yushin Group, a dominant alpha who had never known defeat. His days stretched on, empty and weary, like a lingering illness he could not shake. Then he met him at a gathering he never wanted to attend. Jang Taegun was a member of Janghan Construction, an alpha whose pheromones carried a faint, violent edge. Their eyes met for only a moment, but something ignited deep inside Jaeha, a sudden heat that rose from his lower abdomen like a spark catching fire. Startled, he fled the scene. That night, an unexpected rut struck him. It was the beginning of a pleasure he had never known, a desire he could not understand. Jaeha, who had lived with the world beneath his feet, admitted to himself that he was drawn to another alpha. Ignoring everyone's objections, he proposed to Taegun. But Taegun added a condition Jaeha had not anticipated. All I want from this marriage is one thing. Give up everything Yushin has. If you do that, who knows? Maybe I will stop caring that you are an alpha. It was an acceptance stripped of affection, but Jaeha let it pass and married him. As the Yushin Group began to decline, a major shift started to take place between them. He did not have many small injuries, but there were a few serious ones. Jaeha wondered what had happened to the people who left those marks on Jang Taegun's body. Lost in thought, he stood blankly until the man let out a quiet laugh. Staring that long, you will start drooling. I was not drooling. Then were you drooling in some other way? Realizing Taegun's gaze had drifted down toward the front of his pants, Jaeha jerked away in surprise. His own reaction startled him, far too intense, not like him at all. Watching him, Taegun let out a dry laugh. You make me feel like I am messing around with a kid. That is not what I meant. Technically, I am the younger one anyway. The voice that followed, asking softly, Right, Jaeha hyung? made Jaeha's face flush deep red. He had no idea what Taegun meant by words like that.
