Yuyang Hospital Center.
Inside the Pheromones Department's isolation room, Wu Yuan sprawled motionlessly on the bed, his vacant eyes staring up at the ceiling.
It had been more than forty hours since he first showed signs of manifestation and his gland was fully developed by now. He could feel a tender lump forming on the back of his neck where his gland was supposed to be, still throbbing and too raw to be touched. The thick and smoky pheromones belonging to an Alpha occupied every corner of the room. And everything would have been fine if his body did not feel utterly drained of strength right now.
Doctor Tang had dropped by earlier to examine his unusual state. Going by the usual routine, a newly manifested person should not have been sapped of strength or attacked by episodes of vertigo and nausea like Wu Yuan. Instead, they would be filled with energy and their inner perception would open up, their senses sharpened like a dull knife tempered under high pressure.
