Doctor Li

Sheng Xing's side

Sheng Xing was worried about me, concerned about this unusual fatigue that had been plaguing me since we were marked. Alpha by birth, I wasn't supposed to react like that. This situation plunged him into uncertainty and anxiety.

He arrived at the door of Doctor Li's office and knocked gently before entering. The doctor, a middle-aged man with thin-rimmed glasses and a kind expression, greeted him with a smile.

-Hello, Sheng Xing. Please sit down.

Sheng Xing sat down and quickly explained the situation. Doctor Li listened carefully, nodding from time to time, then put his glasses on his desk.

-Your concern is understandable, Sheng Xing, he began. What you are describing is a relatively abnormal reaction for an omega but since he is an alpha the reaction is entirely reasonable. An alpha's body is not designed, fundamentally, to receive a mark. He is naturally predisposed to giving. This role reversal can cause some biological and psychological confusion.

Sheng Xing frowned, trying to understand the implications of the doctor's words.

-So this fatigue... this constant desire to sleep, is it normal?, he asked with furrowed eyebrows.

-Yes, partly. Your partner's body is trying to adapt to this new dynamic. For a few days, he will need to feel your presence by his side. This will reassure him and help him relax. Your pheromones will play a crucial role in this process, explained the doctor

Sheng Xing nodded, mentally writing down each piece of advice. Then he asked the question that worried him the most.

-Is there anything else that could help him feel safe?

Doctor Li smiled.

-Yes. Giving your partner clothes you've worn can reassure them. Your scent is infused there, and it can have a calming effect on him.

Sheng Xing thought for a moment before asking:

-And how long can this brand last? When will it fade?

-It varies. The mark may fade within a few days or take several months to completely disappear. Each individual reacts differently.

Sheng Xing's worry did not diminish, however. He tilted his head slightly, hesitating before asking his next question.

-Is there any way to make the brand last longer? asked Sheng Xing

Doctor Li nodded, his expression becoming slightly more serious.

-Yes, there are ways to extend the life of the brand. One of the most effective ways is to regularly renew the marking. This strengthens the bond and helps maintain its effects for longer. However, it is crucial to ensure that this is done consensually and respecting your partner's physical and emotional boundaries.

Sheng Xing sighed, relieved to have answers but aware of the added responsibilities this entailed. He stood up and shook the doctor's hand.

-Thank you, Doctor Li. I will do everything I can to make him feel safe and supported.

Doctor Li gave him an encouraging smile.

-And please come back to me if you have any further questions or concerns.

-I would like to know if there is another way to make the brand last, Sheng Xing suddenly asked.

Doctor Li thought for a moment, searching for the right words.

-There are indeed other ways, he said finally. In addition to regularly renewing the branding, there are more subtle but equally important practices to strengthen and extend the brand. One of them is the use of essential oils containing alpha pheromones. These oils, when applied to your partner's skin, can help strengthen the scent bond between the two of you.

Sheng Xing sat up, interested.

-Where can I find these oils?

-I can recommend a few to you, replied Doctor Li, getting up to rummage in a small cabinet behind his desk. He took out a small wooden box, which he opened to extract three bottles. Here are specific pheromone oils for alphas. Use them sparingly, a few drops on the neck or wrists are enough and then circulate your pheromones over these areas.

Sheng Xing accepted the bottles with a smirk on his lips.

-Is there anything else I should know? he asked

Doctor Li took a deep breath before continuing.

— It is also beneficial to establish regular routines together. This could be quiet time, like walks, meditation sessions, or simply spending time in close proximity to each other. These activities can strengthen the feeling of security and attachment.

Sheng Xing nodded, absorbing every piece of advice.

 -And what about food? he asked. Are there any specific foods that might help?

Doctor Li smiled slightly.

-A balanced diet is always beneficial, but there is no specific food that will prolong the mark. However, proper hydration and a nutrient-rich diet can help maintain energy and overall well-being, which is crucial during this adaptation period.

-Thank you doctor for your hard work, Sheng Xing said to him, a private jet will take you back to the army

Sheng Xing thanked Doctor Li one last time, the bottles of oil carefully stored in his pocket. As he left the office.
