    bHayley’s /bPOV:

    “That ring is pretty.” I forced a polite smile and gave Monica a half–heartedpliment.

    The moment I said it, Monica sneered. “People should know their ce. Some lowly Omega should remember what she is. Running to the Southwells‘ Residence to flirt with the Midnight Pack heirs was shameful enough. Now she dares to set her sights on the Alpha of Grimmoon Pack? Please. In everyone’s eyes, she’s nothing but a clown.”

    Hera bristled at her words, ready to fight.

    My smile faded. I clenched my fist and said with a mocking tone, “Before today, I barely remembered you. But after hearing all this, I’m sure I’ll never forget you again … Miss Big Mouth.”

    Monica’s face flushed bright red. She snapped, her wolf eyes shing, “Shut up! Who are you calling big mouth? I am not a big mouth!”

    Her friends rushed to back her up.

    “This lowly Omega really doesn’t know her ce, talking like that!”

    “Exactly. She’s too much! The chess exhibition is about to start. If she doesn’t want to embarrass herself so badly that she can’t show her face again, she should leave now!”

    Monica smirked again, now that her crew was backing her up. She stood tall in the middle, her eyes challenging me.

    Her friends kept mocking me.

    “So what if Truman picked you? That doesn’t change anything.”

    “Everyone here has to y in the chess exhibition. It’s tradition. Even if you’re Truman’s woman, there are no special privileges. Lose, and you’ll be thrown out just like anyone else.”

    “I can’t wait to see you humiliate yourself in front of everyone. After that, let’s see if a low- ranking Omega like you dares to show off in high society again!”

    Monica gave me a smug smile. She even pretended to be generous. “Don’t be so hard on her. She doesn’t want to be a lowly Omega either. If anyone gets matched to y against her, don’t take it too seriously. After all, she’s Benjamin’s mate. I should at least save Benjamin a little face.”

    Her friendsughed nastily. “Monica, you’re asking too much. Even if we held back to let her

    “And besides, the whole event is livestreamed. If we make it too obvious, everyone bwill /bthink we’re mocking her on purpose!”

    I arched an eyebrow at them, unbothered.

    You think you can humiliate me? Don’t make meugh.

    Even if all of you came at me together, you wouldn’t stand a chance.

    Sure, I came here nning to y dumb. But once someone tries to define me as a fool, that’s when I stop wanting to y along. I don’t mind being underestimated if it gets me what I want. But if they treat me like a clown to beughed at, then this “clown” is going to bite back.

    So, I changed my n.

    I brushed the loose strands of hair from my face, smiling slyly. “Since you’re all so skilled at chess, I do hope I get the chance to y against you.”

    Right then, Truman walked over.

    He caught the malice in their eyes and immediately stepped in front of me. His expression darkened as he released the full weight of his Alpha aura. His sharp gaze swept over Monica and her friends.

    One by one, they flinched and stepped back, too scared to meet his eyes.

    Monica recovered first. Using her connection, she tried to strike up a conversation.

    “Mr. White, hello. I’m Monica. My cousin Benjamin is the Alpha of the Midnight Pack. I don’t know if you.

    Before she could finish, Truman turned his face away from her. Then he lowered his head toward me and asked softly, his voice gentle, “Were they giving you trouble?”
