ROMAN POVIt was now already 8:30 p.m., and yet the burning embarrassment Rose gave me still lingered.Here I am, trying to relax amidst three very attractive women, and yet her annoying chubby face envelops my mind like a raging storm.Until now, I wasn't sure of what I felt for her. I thought of it as lust. I thought it was my Lycan playing love pranks on me, due to his excess longing for his supposed better half. Or perhaps, but now... now... I am sure.It is neither. I hate her. I hate her face, her body, curves, smiles. I hate her guts, and most of all, I especially hate the fact that the moon goddess decided to humiliate me by reducing me to the level of an Omega.Not just an Omega, but a divorcee, a baby mama of three, and a notorious slut. One thing is clear: she is practically an open gate for any man who has a boner. The embarrassment: me, Lycan King Roman, settling for slaves. I would rather die than settle for that harlot."She did you good," Landon, one of my best friends

Such a waste of hope" I

ROMAN POV " God!!!" " That woman dealt with you, man" Landon says in a fit of laughter, the moment we recap the board meeting from earlier " You had no idea how humiliated I felt. I couldn't even open my mouth from shame" I confess in shame, taking a sip from my glass of whiskey. "I can imagine. I couldn't almost suppress my laughter anymore. Who knew she was so intelligent" He says with great amazement. " I know right. She doesn't look the part but that woman is one hell of a brain box" I confess, still pluzzed by how she found flaws in my perfect proposal. Beautiful and intelligent!!! Two commendable characteristics in the same woman. Only problem is, she chose me of all people to compete with and all my enemies always lose.
