After Rebirth, I Joined A Reality Dating Show To Ruin My Trashy Mate!

Odessa's Pov

"Let me go!" I shrieked, my voice cracking as I fought to get out of Nickolai's tight grip on my hair. I tried to twist and turn, but his fingers were tangled in my wild mess of a ponytail.

I fought back the tears stinging my eyes as my foot landed on a now-squashed bottle of hand sanitizer. The contents of my bag had been emptied all over the floor of the locker room. My makeup products were scattered everywhere, my coffee was a dark puddle on the tiles, my hair was a tangled mess, and now, my laptop was in his hands.

I already knew exactly how this was going to go down. He'd make me grovel and beg him for it before I could get it back, or even worse, he'd take it into his own possession and return it whenever he felt like it. I knew I shouldn't have been stupid enough to come to the locker room. I should have known better than to believe that dumb text asking me to show up, even though I had assumed it was from Damien.

It's my last year of college, and I still feel like a piece of garbage getting bullied every single day. I couldn't bear to tell my parents what was happening; they'd just make me take classes from home and I'd miss out on the entire college experience, which wasn't even entirely pleasing to begin with. I was the perfect prey for the De Luca triplets, especially Hades and Nickolai.

The third, Rowan, had never once spoken to me. As a matter of fact, he barely ever showed up to school, only on days when they had practice or a championship game in the sport they were all stars at, hockey or "morphleton" as human fans called it.

The entire world adored them. Humans and shifters alike all loved them. Countless blogs and magazines had already predicted their immense success even before they had finished high school. But I was the one exception in this world.

He chuckled, tightening his grip on my hair even further as Hade's grabbed my laptop from him. "I heard you got a boyfriend, didn't you?" He laughed with a teasing smirk.

"Yes, that fcker Damien or whatever," Nickolai said, chuckling, before letting go of me completely. I stumbled, trying to catch my breath as I rubbed my scalp.

My boyfriend, Damien, was a pretty great guy, and a pretty good choice for a boyfriend. We had just started dating three months ago, and I adored him.

He had absolutely no idea about what they did to me. I hated being modest, but I didn't want it to seem like I was only dating him for protection, especially since I was here undercover as a middle-class student while my family owned the top hockey management agency, the very agency the Star Triplets were under.

"So what if I'm dating him?" I snapped, my voice laced with defiance.

"Hey, you better watch that tone, tesoro," Nikolai warned, pointing a finger at me.

"Nothing really, just thought you could do better," Hades smirked, his eyes glinting mischievously.

"What is going on here?" A deep, velvet voice suddenly echoed through the hockey room. We all turned to see Rowan standing in the doorway. He was wearing a sweatsuit, and a towel was draped around his neck. He had just finished training. He was handsome. The word "handsome" felt too basic to describe him.

He was awfully attractive, just like his horrible brothers, but with a more manly appeal. He had long black curly hair, dark blue eyes, a bulkier frame, and a presence that made my stomach flip. I couldn't discern if the feeling was fear or pure attraction, but I knew for sure that I shouldn't find another man attractive, especially since I had a boyfriend.
