Desire Me If You Can-Chapter 6

Ezra asked Dane with a disgusted expression.

"Why, why is he doing that? Was he weak?"

It was due to pheromones, but as a beta, Ezra would find it hard to understand. He might be able to smell the pheromone scent and know intellectually what kind of impact it has on alphas and omegas, but he wouldn't be able to experience it physically.

“That bastard...”

Dane muttered a curse under his breath. In a situation like this, the only reason for that man releasing his ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ pheromones could be to deliberately insult him.

“Pull him out, even if you have to drag him. It’s dangerous if we waste any more time.”

Following Dane’s words, Ezra and the other team members rushed forward. They hurriedly tried to grab the man, but the naked man only screamed and thrashed about, making it hard to get his cooperation.

“Wait! Hey! The house is collapsing!”

“We need to get out! Get a hold of yourself!”

“Grab his arm! Lift him up! No, not there!”

Despite three grown men trying to hold him, he didn’t budge. Instead, he hit and shoved the firefighters, making the situation even more difficult.

The reason the man was rampaging like that was simple: pheromones.

If you are reading this translation anywhere other than Novelight.net or SilkRoadTL, it has been stolen.

And the one responsible for it was leisurely standing there, watching the chaos unfold. He was observing the spectacle like it was an amusing circus show.

He must have done this countless times. Watching others lose their minds and scream because of his pheromones must have been an entertaining sight for him. The fact that he kept doing this despite the situation showed that this man was clearly full of malice.

Whether it was something unique to extreme alphas or just something he and his associates enjoyed, it wasn’t the time to dwell on that now.

“Hey.”

Suddenly, a low voice came from behind, making Grayson pause. Someone had been standing behind him, hidden by the smoke he hadn’t noticed. Just as he reflexively turned around, the voice spoke again.

“Don’t bother me.”

The voice, which sounded like it was gritting teeth, stopped there. Unexpectedly, through the thick smoke, a surprisingly fresh scent wafted through.

...Huh?

Grayson froze for a moment. A fresh, soothing scent spread throughout the area, as though it was releasing the tension from his entire body. Immediately after, the world before him seemed to turn completely black, and his body sank.

At the same time, the pheromones he had been releasing disappeared in an instant.

“I got him!”

Just in time, a team member who had been wrestling with the man lifted him. The man was still thrashing about, but it seemed like his strength had waned, and the team members quickly carried him off. Ezra hurried over to Dane.

“What happened? Why is he like this?”

Dane answered casually, his tone indifferent.

“He must have inhaled too much smoke.”

“Ah.”

Ezra quickly understood and nodded. They tried to lift the man again, but it wasn’t easy. The blonde man was enormous, probably well over 2 meters tall. It was a long way to carry him out, and Ezra, already winded, was struggling. Dane, who was helping carry Grayson, suddenly spoke.

“Let’s just throw him.”

“What?”

Ezra looked at him, shocked. Dane continued nonchalantly.

“Let’s throw him on the air mattress. If we try to drag him out, we’ll all die.”

That wasn’t wrong. The fire had already spread throughout the house, and there was no guarantee they’d make it safely down the stairs.

“Let’s go through the window.”

After Ezra agreed, the two quickly rushed to the nearest room. When they opened the window and stuck their bodies out, they were fortunately spotted by the firefighters who were controlling the flames.

“Air mattress! We need a mattress!”

Dane shouted, throwing the heavy bundle they had brought with them over the window frame. Ezra, still concerned about Grayson’s unconscious state, spoke with worry.

“We need to hook him up to oxygen. At least my mask...”

“Get in.”

Before Ezra could cover Grayson’s face with his own mask, Dane pushed Grayson out the window without hesitation.

“Wait, wait! We need to do this together!”

Ezra grabbed the limp body of Grayson, confirming that everything was set, then let go. Afterward, he and Dane escaped the burning house, and the fire continued to burn for about an hour before being extinguished.

When Grayson regained consciousness, he found himself lying on a hospital bed. He lay still for a moment, trying to recollect his memory. When he vaguely remembered the fire at the mansion, the door to the hospital room opened, and someone entered.

“Oh, you’re awake.”

As he sluggishly sat up, a nurse approached and checked his vital signs, continuing to speak.

“Is there anything uncomfortable? Apart from inhaling some smoke, everything else seems fine. You can leave whenever you want. Do you have any questions? Anything bothering you?”

The kind inquiry left Grayson blinking in confusion. He furrowed his brow and looked up at the nurse.

“How did I get here?”

“An ambulance brought you in. You lost consciousness, so we ran several tests, but nothing unusual came up. Looks like you were just really tired?”

The nurse smiled and added a joke, but Grayson’s expression remained serious as he asked again.

“That’s it? Wasn’t there anything else?”

The nurse tilted his head, smiling. Without obtaining any further information, Grayson sent him out. Once alone, he began to think deeply.

What was that?

When he recalled the last memory before losing consciousness, he couldn’t stay calm. Grayson jumped off the bed and began pacing around the room. He clearly remembered releasing an enormous amount of pheromones, enough to erase the pheromones of the omega twins. The air had been filled with his scent mixed with the pungent smoke.

But there had definitely been something else. A scent that wasn’t his.

The scent that spread from behind him was something he knew all too well. A scent he had smelled a long time ago, but it wasn’t just any ordinary omega’s scent...

It was the pheromones of an extreme omega.

Grayson had smelled it before. It was the characteristic of the omega who had given birth to him. When he was young, Grayson had begged him to let him inhale the scent to his heart’s content. Unlike ordinary omegas, extreme omegas could control their pheromones, hiding them completely or releasing them at will to throw extreme alphas into chaos, just like it had done to Grayson before.

There was one among the firefighters...

His heart began to race madly. He couldn’t calm down as he quickly paced the hospital room, nervously running his hand through his hair.
