THE FIRST TIME

As everyone started to leave, only Claude and Prince Wade remained. Claude simply looked at the prince, while Wade cleared his throat and said, “We’re going to do the project in the library.”

Claude replied, “Okay, Your Highness,” then turned to leave.

Wade smirked and said, “If you’re still thinking about yesterday, don’t worry—I won’t try to rape you again in that place.”

Claude stopped in his tracks. “Pardon?”

“Don’t act dumb, like nothing happened yesterday, Lemon Head!” Wade scoffed.

Claude was momentarily confused. Lemon Head? Then he realized it was because of his blonde hair, the same color as a lemon.

Wade continued, “Well, as I observed you, you’re still a virgin, and I’m not into virgins. So don’t worry—I won’t try anything. We’re just going to do our project, nothing else.”

Claude replied calmly, “You misunderstood, Your Highness. I wasn’t thinking about yesterday. And don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone about it. I have to go now.”

Just as Claude started to run out of the classroom, he bumped into Prince Nikolai. His eyes widened as he quickly apologized, bowing.

Prince Nikolai frowned in irritation. “You should watch where you’re going next time, or else I’ll lose my patience!”

Claude lowered his head in apology, but then Nikolai’s expression changed as he caught a scent in the air. “Wait… are you in rut?”

Claude’s blue eyes suddenly turned yellow. Panic surged through him, and he immediately ran to the bathroom. He locked himself inside a cubicle, taking deep breaths to calm himself. Slowly, he managed to suppress his rut. He could control it, but he couldn’t stop releasing pheromones—pheromones that could make omegas weak.

Claude sat down and whispered to himself, “Why did my rut start so suddenly? I’ve never experienced this before…”

That evening, when he arrived home, he rushed to his room, not wanting his grandmother to find out about his sudden heat. He drank some water and tried to rest.

Prince Wade’s POV

Wade was about to leave the classroom when he saw Prince Nikolai standing in the doorway, smirking. Wade took a step forward and asked, “Lord Nikolai, what brings you he—”

Before he could finish, Nikolai suddenly kissed him.

Wade hesitated for a moment before wrapping his arms around Nikolai’s shoulders. Nikolai pulled away slightly and whispered, “Hyung, let’s do it.”

Wade smirked. “What a pervert.”

Instead of indulging, he grabbed Nikolai’s wrist, dragged him into the bathroom, and locked him inside. Then he saw his butler standing in the corner and called his butler. “Tell His Highness’s bodyguards that he’s in heat.”

After that, Wade left, shaking his head. “I don’t want to sleep with famous nobles, especially Lord Nikolai. Our families are close, and if I did, it might get prove the rumors and exposed to the public that I like sleeping around.”

Back to Claude’s POV

It was Saturday morning when Claude hopped out of bed and ran downstairs. He saw his grandmother carrying a box of vegetables and immediately rushed to help her.

“Grandma, you don’t have to do this,” he said.

She smiled but shook her head. “No, I can handle it. Go back and rest.”

Claude frowned. “No, Grandma, I’m sorry I didn’t wake up earlier.”

His grandmother sighed. “Son, you’re still ill from your rut last night. You should rest.”

Claude’s eyes widened. “How did you know I was in rut?”

His grandmother chuckled. “Your pheromones lingered in the air. As an alpha myself, I can tell when another alpha is in heat. Your scent was strong and… different last night.”

Claude lowered his head. “I’m sorry if I disturbed you.”

“Don’t worry about it,” she said, patting his shoulder.

Claude took the boxes from her and loaded them into the carriage. He then rode into the capital to sell their produce.

As always, he was a top seller. Many girls flocked to his stand, eager to buy from him—not just because of his fresh fruits and vegetables, but because of his handsome face. In just a day, he sold everything.

As he packed up, he counted his earnings and patted his horse’s neck. “Well then, my dear South, we’re always lucky.”

That’s when he noticed a poster announcing a horse race scheduled for tomorrow. The winner would receive a grand prize. Claude’s eyes lit up, and he turned to his horse. “You see that, South? We’re going to win that prize and buy Grandma’s favorite curry!”

Just as he was about to leave, a familiar scent filled his nose. He frowned."this scent again?"

He followed the scent down an alley and spotted a mysterious figure, completely covered in a cloak, looking around before entering a hidden chamber. Curiosity got the better of him, and Claude climbed onto the roof, peeking through a small hole.

His eyes widened in shock.

Inside, a commoner was kneeling in front of Prince Wade, performing a blowjob.

Claude’s body tensed, and, embarrassingly, his pants bulged.

Suddenly, it started raining.

Claude muttered under his breath, “I may be lucky today, but my day refuses to cooperate.”

Just as he was about to leave, his foot slipped on the wet roof. He lost his balance and fell, crashing into a pile of barrels. The force of his landing broke the chamber door.

Claude froze, eyes widening in horror as he found himself staring at a naked Wade and the commoner. Embarrassment flooded him, and without thinking, he bolted away.

Wade stood in the broken doorway, watching Claude flee. Then his gaze fell to the ground, where he noticed a handkerchief. He picked it up, recognizing it as Claude’s.

A smirk curled on Wade’s lips as he held the cloth close.

“Hah… just as I thought.”
