- "So,
- where's
- the
- human?"
- Olivia
- pursed
- her
- lips
- at
- the
- disrespect."Her
- name
- is
- Haisley,
- and
- she's
- in
- the
- room
- next
- to
- your
- old
- room."
- Roman
- stiffened,
- remembering
- the
- sweet
- scent
- from
- that
- direction
- when
- he
- came
- up
- earlier.
- It
- couldn't
- be."How
- old
- is
- your
- friend?"
- Olivia
- raised
- her
- eyebrow
- at
- the
- question
- but
- answered
- despite
- it."She's
- a
- year
- older
- than
- me,
- but
- her
- birthday
- is
- in
- a
- few
- months,
- so
- she's
- still
- 26."
- Roman
- nodded
- slightly
- at
- that
- as
- he
- stepped
- out
- of
- the
- room."I'll
- see
- you
- at
- dinner."
- He
- walked
- towards
- his
- bedroom
- and
- could
- hear
- the
- shower
- in
- the
- shared
- bathroom.
- He
- was
- itching
- to
- see
- her
- face.Haisley.
- Why
- was
- her
- scent
- so
- intoxicating?
- Mangoes
- and
- coconut.
- The
- smell
- dominated
- his
- senses,
- and
- he
- was
- having
- trouble
- focusing.
- He
- needed
- to
- check
- to
- be
- sure
- himself.
- Without
- overthinking
- it,
- he
- barged
- into
- the
- unlocked
- bathroom.Stupid
- girl.
- He
- muttered
- to
- himself
- as
- the
- intoxicating
- scent
- filled
- the
- whole
- bathroom.
- He
- knew
- what
- this
- meant.
- But
- it
- wasn't
- possible.
- Could
- it
- be?Haisley
- screeched
- as
- she
- held
- the
- towel
- tighter
- around
- her,
- just
- stepping
- out
- of
- the
- shower,
- but
- she
- had
- accidentally
- grabbed
- one
- of
- the
- shorter
- towels
- in
- the
- closet.
- It
- barely
- covered
- her
- ass,
- and
- Haisley
- felt
- very
- vulnerable
- standing
- naked
- across
- the
- man
- who
- barged
- in
- rudely
- while
- she
- was
- in
- the
- shower.
- It
- clicked,
- then.
- It
- was
- Olivia's
- brother,
- one
- of
- her
- older
- brothers.She
- stood
- there
- watching
- him;
- she
- felt
- too
- intimidated
- to
- even
- raise
- her
- voice
- at
- him.
- What
- is
- wrong
- with
- me?
- Do
- something,
- idiot.
- Don't
- just
- stand
- there.
- She
- looked
- at
- Roman
- and
- let
- out
- a
- scream,
- hoping
- Olivia
- would
- hear
- and
- come
- running
- to
- save
- her
- from
- her
- brute
- of
- a
- brother.
- But
- before
- the
- sound
- could
- even
- echo,
- he
- pressed
- her
- into
- the
- glass
- shower
- doors.
- A
- hand
- pressed
- firmly
- on
- her
- mouth.
- Strange
- sensations
- spread
- across
- her
- body,
- clouding
- her
- judgment
- as
- she
- stared
- at
- Roman
- with
- the
- same
- confused
- look
- in
- his
- eyes.
- However,
- unlike
- him,
- she
- recovered
- quickly,
- pushing
- him
- hard,
- almost
- losing
- her
- towel,
- and
- ran
- to
- the
- door
- that
- led
- to
- her
- room.MATE!
- Roman's
- wolf
- growled
- in
- his
- head
- as
- Haisley
- slipped
- away
- from
- him.
- No,
- this
- can't
- be.
- She's
- human,
- and
- I'm
- the
- Alpha
- King.
- She
- can't
- be.
