Alpha Hayley's Destined Mate by Andrea Townsend

Chapter 150 Mark Him Hayley's POV: I was a bit surprised to see Christopher. "I was just about to head home,” I said.

Christopher quickly replied, “Then letgive you a rie." The car door opened, and I climbed in. Hera was instantly on edge, practically buzzing with excitement. Sure enough, that's when I noticed Benjamin sitting inside the van..

Now that I'd cto terms with my feelings for him, seeing him again madefeel a bit awkward. I took the initiative and greeted him, "You're here too, huh?" Benjamin was flipping through sdocuments, and he gave a quiet "Mm, without looking up. His tone was distant and indifferent, as usual.

The coldness in his voice leftfeeling uneasy.

I found myself wondering-if he didn't loveback, would I still choose him as my mate? Should I pursue an alliance between our packs and use it as a reason to make him my mate? Christopher's voice pulledout of my thoughts. "I just picked Ben up from the airport. We happened to pass by and saw you. You look kind of down-something on your mind?" I raised an eyebrow, teasing him. "Since when do you care about other people? Besides, you never used to be this nice to me.

Christopher looked a bit awkward but went on, "Hayley, don't be ungrateful. I'm just being a good friend. And anyway, you used to be so ugly and unfashionable, plus you were just an Omega. Now, sure, you're still as ugly and unfashionable as ever, but I have to admit, you're not so bad as a person." I rolled my eyes but found myself smiling. "Thanks! Oh, and I heard from a friend that you're releasing a new song. Congratulations." The mention of his new song made Christopher's face light up, and his whole demeanor radiated happiness. "Thanks! Cto the release party when it happens." I declined immediately. "I'll pass. I don't want to get torn apart by your fans. But my friend is a big fan of yours-if you have any extra tickets, could you givetwo? She'd be thrilled." Christopher didn't hesitate. He gestured to Caesar, who handedtwo tickets. "It's next Wednesday. Make sure your friend shows up." I took the tickets. "Thanks." Christopher raised an eyebrow, smiling. "No problem." At that moment, Caesar, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, said, "Christopher, Gillian just retweeted your post on Twitter. You should reply to her Christopher scoffed, "She can retweet whatever she wants. Doesn't mean I have to respond." Caesar looked a bit uncomfortable. "She's still a legendary diva, technically your senior in the industry.

1/3 Chapter 150 Mark Him Finished Christopher replied without hesitation, “She's been riding on the fof that one hit song her whole life. She latches onto anyone's popularity when she can. If I reply to her, you can bet the tabloids will be all over us with rumors by tomorrow. No way am I giving her the attention." Caesar wiped the sweat off his forehead, clearly giving p. "Alright, fine, let her do whatever she wants." Hearing them mention Gillian, my good mood from being near Benjamin evaporated instantly. This was the second ttoday I'd heard her name.

Gillian. It's been a while.

Christopher drove Benjamin andback to the house The happiest one to see us both return together was George. "Ben! Did you see my old friend? How is he?" Benjamin answered honestly, “Mr. Josh is in good health. He misses you and hopes you can visit him in Roseshire sometime." George looked wistful. That old fellow still thinks about me. But with my health like this, I don't know if I'll ever get the chance to see him again." "Grandpa Southwell, don't talk like that. You're strong as ever-you'll easily live to 100," I said, trying to reassure him. Benjamin chimed in, "Yes, Grandpa. Next time, we'll go together."

George glanced between us, then sighed and turned to Benjamin. “Ben, I'm getting older, and there are things I can't do anymore. It's been quite stsince you officially becAlpha of the Midnight Pack. It's tfor you to start thinking about choosing our pack's future Luna. "Hayley would make a fine choice, George added, givinga meaningful look.

This time, I didn't feel uncomfortable. In fact, I realized that if Benjamin lovedtoo, I'd be willing to bechis Luna.

It would benefit both the Shadow Pack and the Midnight Pack.

But Benjamin seemed uneasy with the topic. He frowned slightly, quickly brushing it off. "Grandpa, I'll handle it. There's no need for you to worry." George pressed on, "Ben, sometimes you have to look forward. What's past is past-you need to appreciate. the person right in front of you.

Benjamin glanced atand gave a noncommittal response, "Got it I looked at him, my heart a tangle of emotions, while Hera was just happy as always to be close to him.

After saying goodbye to George, I ignored Hera's whining and went to my,room. It had been more than half alyear since I'd been here, but now, the thought of leaving actually tugged at me.

"Hey! Hayley, he's our destined mate.

We finally found m him, and you'sen thinking about giving giving up?" Hera's voice was insistent in my mind. "We should mark him!" she kept urging. But my thoughts kept spinning, torn between two choices: "Should I mark him or give up on him and return to the Shadow Pack?"
