Gavin is straight.
In the era of the Milky Way, there is almost no difference between straight and curved, and such a wonderful combination of Alpha women and Omega men can also lead a happy life. Many young people can't understand why only men and women could marry in the ancient earth era. As for "homosexuality", there is no such concept at all now. It has been noisy for hundreds of years.
But Gavin was still straight, unbelievably straight.
"Only Omega women can be partners" is the iron rule for him, which cannot be shaken by heaven and earth.
In his view, marrying a Beta woman is tantamount to self-inflicted punishment, and finding an Alpha woman is a complete sin. So when he realized that he was being overwhelmed by a group of alpha males, his first feeling was not humiliation or fear, but a complete collapse of the three views.
He froze for several seconds before regaining consciousness from his chaotic brain, and immediately elbowed back hard: "Get lost!"
The boy behind him hugged him from the back, his elbow hit just below the ribs, he immediately let out a muffled grunt, and involuntarily let go of his hand. Taking advantage of the gap, Gavin staggered to his feet, before he could take two steps, he fell to his knees due to intense dizziness, and was immediately grabbed by his shoulder.
Gavin gritted his teeth and punched back, and then his fist was grabbed. Blood flowed down from his forehead, making his vision blurry, and he could only see someone stretching out his hand condescendingly, as if trying to strangle him, but then the Alpha was severely strangled by his companion.
"Are you still human... stop!"
"Hold them down!"
"He is already miserable! Call the school doctor!"
…
Gavin panted intermittently, as if he saw the chaos around him, several military cadets grabbed the others, fighting and shouting came from time to time—obviously the former was not affected, he realized this in the chaos.
Maybe they have a lot of self-control, maybe they're anti-pheromone trained, but it doesn't matter.
The gunshot wound on Gavin's left shoulder has been torn, and blood seeps into the mud continuously. His right hand is still very numb, but it can barely support him to get up. He reluctantly backed away in severe pain, trying not to attract any attention, but he felt that he had bumped into something within a few steps, and was immediately stopped by someone.
At that moment, the hairs on Gavin's whole body stood on end, he turned around and slammed into the back, and in the chaos, someone gave him a solid bump: "—Ah!"
"Fucking catch him!"
"Where do you want to go, huh?"
Someone grabbed his shoulder from behind and pulled him into his arms. The sharp, suffocating pain instantly made Gavin's mind go blank.
He collapsed almost immediately, and was embraced by the man, bowing his head and wanting to kiss him.
In fact, Gavin couldn't feel it anymore, the severe pain blurred his vision, and his eyes were full of bright red and dark color patches mixed together.
He unconsciously closed his eyes, and the moment before he completely lost consciousness, he suddenly heard someone shouting sharply: "—Stop!"
After a while of chaotic footsteps, the female voice said angrily again: "What are you doing?! Go and pull them away! You, and you, put electromagnetic cuffs on these people! Send them to the confinement room!"
"What's wrong with that student? . . . God, put him down!"
Gavin was in a daze, and in a daze, someone took him to support him, and someone shone a flashlight on his face.
He opened his eyes slightly, and saw a young woman approaching quickly in a trance. She has long, smooth brown hair, green eyes, and a soft and beautiful face. For some reason, she looks very kind at first glance.
Gavin squinted his eyes to take a closer look, but the flashlight was dazzling. He trembled and turned his head, and suddenly the woman grabbed his shoulder.
"God, god..."
Her voice began to tremble, and it took a long time for her to utter softly: "Ga... Gavin..."
Half of Gavin's ear was covered with blood, and he could hardly hear anything, and could only look at her numbly. After about a century—or maybe it was just a few seconds—the woman turned her head and held the student with trembling hands: "Go to my laboratory and get an injection of Omega pheromone inhibitors... Quick, in this case He will die in heat, go!"
The student ran away quickly, the woman turned her head pale, hugged Gavin's cold body tightly, and pressed her face to his blood-stained profile.
"You'll be fine, you'll be fine, you'll be fine soon, I'm here…"
Her words were confused, and she seemed to be emotionally unstable due to great stimulation, but her breath smelled good, warm and fragrant and full of concern—even in such a chaotic situation, Gavin could vaguely feel that she was a rare female Omega .
The loving atmosphere of the same kind gave him a great sense of peace of mind, he sighed almost silently, and slowly closed his eyes.
This coma did not last long, maybe only half an hour, or even ten minutes.
When he regained consciousness, he found himself lying in the medical room, the pain engulfed his limbs and bones, making it almost difficult for him to speak. The military cadets crowding around dispersed, only the woman stood by the bed, holding a needle towards him.
Gavin didn't even think about it, and suddenly grabbed her hand.
"-what!"
The woman was startled, and looked up to see Gavin staring at her coldly.
"...It's a Beta pheromone synthesis solution..." The woman panted for a while, then said tremblingly, "This will allow you to disguise yourself as a Beta, and no one will find out..."
Gavin looked at her deeply, and after a few seconds slowly let go of his hand, allowing her to inject the solution into his vein.
There were only the two of them in the room, and it was eerily quiet, even each other's slight breathing could be heard clearly. A few minutes later, the injection was exhausted, and the woman stared at the empty syringe and asked softly, "What's your name?"
"...Gavin."
His voice was difficult and hoarse, but the woman smiled briefly, her eyes full of bitterness: "Gavin? What a good name... Do you know what this word means in ancient Earth language?"
"..."
"It's the eagle," she said, "the god of battle."
The woman gently put down the needle and stood up from the bed. At some point, her emerald green eyes were filled with tears, and her lips trembled violently, as if she was trying to suppress some kind of great grief with all her strength.
Then she choked up and smiled.
"Nice to meet you, Gavin, my name is Edna Conceitrin."
It was the second night that Gavin woke up again.
The light outside the medical cabin was dim, and the brown-haired, green-eyed woman was sitting in a corner with her head tilted on the back of the chair, as if she had fallen asleep.
He moved his fingers and felt his bones creaking. The visceral injuries caused by the beating and the gunshot wound on the shoulder have begun to improve, but the head is still a little dizzy, which cannot be said to be the result of a concussion or sleeping too long.
The heat had completely faded away, and the emptiness and commotion deep in his body had been replaced by calm, giving him a lazy sense of comfort.
He raised his hand to push open the top cover of the medical cabin, but suddenly there was a soft knock on the door: "Dean Edna? - Dean Edna, are you there?"
The woman woke up immediately, rubbed her eyes and got up to open the door: "Ah... what's the matter?"
Gavin kept lying down and looked out the door. He saw that it was a rather tall military cadet. He gave a military salute and said, "S-class confidential communication from the palace, please answer immediately by name."
Edna was silent for a while, then whispered: "I see."
The atmosphere in the room became a little heavy for a moment. Edna sent the student away, turned around pale, and didn't even notice that Gavin was silently staring at her when she passed the medical cabin. She walked to a laboratory connected to the ward, and immediately closed the door with a backhand.
Gavin became curious for a moment, gently pushed the medical cabin open and turned over to the ground, only two steps away when he heard a stern male voice coming from the door: "What tricks are you playing, Consettrin?!"
—Heinrich!
It turned out to be the voice of the Emperor, Heinrich!
Gavin froze for two seconds, held his breath, and gently pushed the door open a crack. Edna stood sideways to him in the open space, and Heinrich's tall three-dimensional projection was suspended in mid-air, with undisguised anger on his face.
He was wearing a white military uniform with a gold badge on his chest. His face was in the prime of his youth, and his facial features showed typical alpha gender characteristics—sharp, deep, rough outline, full of masculine charm, and a strong sense of oppression when he was furious.
Yet Edna showed no fear, and said, "I don't know what you're talking about, Your Majesty."
"The armed airship of the Imperial Military Police exploded over the military academy in the early hours of yesterday. Everyone saw the griffin rushing into the military academy research institute, and no one has seen it since then." The emperor paused, and said coldly: "Kong Setrin, you know that the only reason I stopped Aaron from killing you was because I didn't want to cause political turmoil, it doesn't mean I want you to live, my tolerance for you is actually very limited."
"..."
"Hand over the griffin, where is that person? He's also in the military academy, right?"
"...he's not here," Edna replied after a long silence. "The people in the mecha class of the military academy didn't recognize that it was a Griffon. Its fighting power is too strong, and it has already escaped from the southwest."
An indescribable expression appeared on Heinrich's face: "You think I'm a three-year-old?!"
"Believe it or not, Your Majesty! I've heard about what happened on Red Saturn. How could a person who escaped from Bi An driving a griffin be stopped by the mecha team of the military academy?!"
"The Griffon lost its trace over the military academy, you want to say that it became invisible out of thin air?"
"It escaped from the southwest and didn't disappear! Maybe the gendarmerie didn't find a trace - do you really believe the reports of those idiots from the Preservation Society? !"
Heinrich's eyes were cold, but Edna raised her head without any fear, and said, "You can come to the military academy to search, Heinrich, I have the entire academy to prove that the griffin has left. You just want to pass It's a way to insult me, like you guys have been doing for the past fifty years, but it's okay, I don't really care."
"You are just one of Celia's subordinates. Everything you have is obtained by betraying him. I call you Your Majesty, but I don't really take it seriously—even if you really kill me, I will I will not recognize you as the emperor!"
Heinrich stared at her with squinted eyes, unexpectedly did not get angry, and only sneered after a while.
"Come on, only Celia is qualified to say this in the entire galaxy, so what are you?"
If it was just a threat at the beginning, these words were simply a naked humiliation. Edna's expression finally changed: "...how far do you want to humiliate me, Heinrich?! You are not afraid that I will kill Admiral Aaron of the Empire by a Is the fact that the Omega defeated and took the Griffin public?"
"It doesn't matter, you can tell." The emperor lazily said, "It's like you made public the secret that Marshal Celia was actually Beta when the war was at its height."
Edna's complexion turned pale, as if someone had slapped her in the face.
The emperor shrugged, cut off the communication and went offline.
His tall three-dimensional projection image disappeared in the laboratory, Edna kept standing without looking back, her fingers were tightly gripping the test bench, her whole body was trembling slightly.
This appearance looks so weak that even a hard-hearted person can't help being moved.
Gavin looked at her with some sympathy, and slowly closed the door to get back to the medical cabin, when she suddenly heard her choking up and said, "You...you heard it all?"
Gavin paused.
"It's okay, I'm... used to it."
Edna turned her head, her eyes were like clear emeralds in tears, and she tried to smile while trembling: "Do you feel better? I'm sorry I found you too late, those young Alphas don't have much self-control ability, I I will arrange for them to stay in a closed room until the impulsive period passes... I have given you the inhibitor, but as a price, the next estrus may be more violent, how do you feel now? Do you want to eat something?"
Gavin looked at her quietly, and asked for a while, "Why didn't you hand me over?"
Edna froze.
"You want a griffin?"
"Do not-"
"I have nothing to give you, and there is no benefit for you to help, but it will arouse the emperor's suspicion."
"Do not… "
"I can leave now," Gavin said, "and you won't have any trouble."
They stood at the two ends of the empty laboratory, the moonlight came in from the window and sprinkled on the cold metal floor. Edna stared deeply at Gavin, as if it took a long time before she said softly: "It's not like that, I just want to help you... You see, I'm an Omega too."
She walked slowly across the lab to Gavin, reaching out to touch his face.
"You look a lot like a friend of mine. We grew up together and were the most important people in each other's lives. Then he left me and went to a very far away place. Although I knew he would never come back, but in I had thought about marrying him before."
She seemed to miss it very much, shook her head and smiled after a long while, "I'm sorry that I told you this, did it scare you?"
"... no, no."
"It's been a long time since I've seen someone who looks so much like him, I just got excited..."
"It's okay," Gavin interrupted her seriously, and said, "You are beautiful, and it should be an honor for anyone to fall in love with you."
Tears welled up from the bottom of Edna's eyes, and it took her a while to turn around and walk away in a panic, wiping the corners of her eyes carelessly with her hands.
This is actually very out of character, but she has a kind of weak beauty when she does it. Gavin stared at her blankly, feeling that everything was so familiar for some reason, as if such people and scenes had happened many years ago.
But no matter how I recalled it, it was useless, as if a link was missing from my memory for no reason.
"Thank you, but I can't... I can't let you leave like this," Edna's choking gradually subsided after a long time, she looked up at Gavin and said seriously: "Heinrich's people have monitored the outside of the military academy during the day, anyone No one can go out at this time. What’s more, even if you leave, you can’t take the inhibitor with you. That kind of thing can only be preserved in a certain fungal environment, and it will be invalid after a few hours out of the laboratory—your estrus is only temporarily suppressed. It will rebound even more violently next time, and it is impossible to survive alone without inhibitors."
"I will talk to Headmaster Caroline about letting you temporarily pretend to be a military cadet as Beta until all Heinrich's people are withdrawn from the school. After that, you are free to stay or go. To show respect to you As a tribute to the defeat of Admiral Aaron, neither I nor the school will have any interference in your decision."
Gavin frowned slightly, he felt that this treatment was too generous, but he couldn't find anything suspicious.
"Please let me help you," Edna said sincerely, "I'm honored, not everyone can defeat that cold-blooded arrogant killer of Aaron."
In fact, it is impossible to leave the military academy at this time. Heinrich will definitely guard the gates of the school firmly, not to mention that inhibitors are indeed an imminent practical problem. Gavin thought for a long time, had no choice, and finally nodded and said, "Thank you."
Edna was very happy immediately: "Great!"
She took out a small gold earring from the pocket of her white coat, walked quickly and put it behind Gavin's left ear, and said softly: "I guess this is yours, it fell from you during the treatment." .In exchange for protection, please promise me one thing? Never take it off at any time, and wear it close to your body."
It was a griffin's earbuds in disguise, and both of them knew that. Gavin wondered why she was doing this, but Edna signaled him not to ask anything with a "shh" gesture.
"Smart mechs will independently choose the method that is most beneficial to it, and you will understand later."
"You still have a lot to learn about mechs, but that's okay—trust me, the Royal Academy will teach you everything."
