After Chu Yun laid out his challenge the room fell once again into an uneasy silence.
Xiao Zai wasn't going to try and force a mark on him when he was so openly hostile to the idea. If anything, that would only result in his body rejecting the bond and making him sick, something that was already likely to happen since they were both alphas.
Any bond could be rejected if the omega was too disgusted by the idea of being marked by a specific alpha, and while they would still fall sick as their body got rid of the invading pheromones, it wouldn't be anything major. The risk of spontaneous rejection was very low between most alphas and omegas, but it increased exponentially if the one being marked was a beta, for instance.
Xiao Zai had never heard of an alpha successfully marking another, and forming a bond without rejection, but he supposed it was possible. His marriage was hardly the first political union between two alphas.
