Chapter 6 You Actually Lost?!

• Benjamin's POV
• After much persuasion from my little brother Henry, I finally took a break from my hectic schedule to substitute for him in a race.
• I ended up waiting at the club for quite a while because the person Henry was supposed to race did not appear on time.
• Growing a bit impatient, I questioned him, "Where is this guy?"
• Henry flashed a reassuring smile, "Ben, he'll be here any minute now."
• Right after he said that, a buzz started outside.
• I glanced out to see a young man about Henry's age stepping out of a Lamborghini.
• Not long after, the passenger door opened and a young woman followed him out.
• She wore a simple grey outfit, her long hair curled slightly at the ends.
• Despite being an Omega, my wolf Lawrence could not catch any scent from her, which was unusual.
• She also did not seem affiliated with our Midnight Pack. Her gaze, devoid of the typical Omega deference, met mine directly.
• "Ben, they're here," Henry pointed out as they approached.
• As they came closer, I got a better look at the woman. Her skin was impeccably fair, and her almond eyes had a captivating allure. She looked stunning under the lights, and something about her seemed strangely familiar...
• Henry was visibly struck by her beauty but remained focused on the race.
• "Thomas, where's your champion? I've brought my brother along today, you're in for a challenge."
• Thomas grinned, patting the woman beside him.
• "My friend here might just outpace your brother. It's not a done deal yet!"
• Both Henry and I stared in surprise as Thomas finished his boast.
• "Her? The champion? Thomas, you must be joking! I brought my brother, who's a former professional racer. Who are you trying to impress?" Henry scoffed dismissively.
• It seemed quite unbelievable to me. Just from her appearance, it was clear she was a fragile, delicate Omega. Racing is an intensely demanding sport that requires high endurance, explosive power, flexibility, and balance.
• These were capabilities that even a regular Beta would struggle with, not to mention someone like me, an Alpha heir.
• Moreover, this track was notorious for its difficulty, where even the smallest error could prove fatal.
• Yet, she seemed completely unfazed by our doubts.
• She looked directly at me, her voice low and steady, "Shall we start?"
• She confidently tied back her hair, donned a helmet from the table, and prepared herself with swift, assured movements.
• Noticing my hesitation, she quirked an eyebrow.
• "What's the matter? Are you doubting me?"
• Reluctant to race against a young Omega, especially given the predictable outcome, I paused.
• Henry nudged me, whispering, "Ben, I didn't expect Thomas to get a young woman to come. Let's just go through with it. Take it easy on her, though. She's just an Omega, and besides, she's quite pretty ... "
• Slightly frowning, I hesitated briefly before picking up my own helmet.
• I joined her on the track, initially confident of an easy victory.
• However, partway through the race, I realized I had grossly underestimated her.
• She challenged me at every corner, almost overtaking me several times.
• To my surprise, the race became genuinely competitive, sparking a thrill of rivalry I had not expected.
• I tightened my grip on the steering wheel and focused intently.
• As we entered the final lap and approached a critical turn, I could not hold her back; she surged ahead with a smooth drift and crossed the finish line seconds before me.
• Reluctantly, I exited my car to hear Thomas cheering jubilantly for her.
• Henry approached me, his face a mix of shock and disbelief.
• "Ben, you actually lost?"
• "I gave it everything I had," I told him.
• The girl removed her helmet and flashed me a triumphant smile. "You lost."
• It was hard to accept. I, the Alpha heir who almost made it as an F1 driver, was beaten by an Omega girl!
• Frustrated and eager to redeem myself, I quickly challenged her again. "Let's race one more time."
