FreeGoodNovel10:25 Thu, Jan 2 G Li thị Alpha Hayley's Destined Mate Chapter 61 How about One Million? Hayley's POV: I ignored Hera's suggestions and decided to play it cool and just figured out what these two men were plotting.
I asked them a few probing questions, but the man only replied, "Don't ask questions you're not supposer to. We're just here to do a job for the cash. Beyond that None of our business.
I squinted my eyes. "If you letgo now, I can pay you a substantial amount." If money could resolve this, I'd rather avoid bringing Hera out. Revealing my identity as an Alpha would only draw unnecessary attention.
Hera had already sensed it: there were more than just these two around; many vicious Rogues lingered outside, just as dangerous as the ones in front of me.
Sure, I could let Hera take control, and we'd have no problem dealing with these two. But I couldn't guarantee that none of the others outside would catch wind of what happened. They'd been Rogues for years, masters of escape.

Both men laughed as if mocking me. “Little girl, do you think we're that easy to bribe? Just sit tight, and don't go thinking a bit of pocket change makes you hot stuff." "How about one million dollars?" The atmosphere instantly shifted. I watched them exchange glances, their faces caught somewhere between surprise and skepticism. "You're messing with us, right?" one finally replied, snorting. "One million? Are you going to pay us using Vanisia's brass?" "Nope," I said, "One million dollars. All yours, in cash, if you letwalk away now. No strings, no questions asked." I studied them both carefully. The one in charge was starting to look tempted, a flicker of interest sneaking across his expression.
I felt a surge of confidence, sensing he was about to agree. But then he shota sideways glance and shook his head, rejectingcoldly. "You can stop with the fairy tales. I'm not buying it. One million dollars, my a*s. Just stay put, and when the time's right, we'll let you go." Seeing that the offer wouldn't sway them, I held back from pushing further. They didn't seem inter dub harming me, so I settled into silence, biding my time.
About an hour later, the two men exchanged another look, and then, without a word to me, they both stepped out of the room.
I didn't know what they wanted to discuss.
I quickly linked with Hera. As an Alpha werewolf, my enhanced hearing allowedto catch their conversation clearly from where I stood inside.

The leader immediately barked back, "Seriously? Do you believe in that little girl's words? Stop overthinking! Let's just finish this job first!" "Okay, then. I'll keep watch the first half of the night; you can take over after.
After they agreed on their plan, I heard one set of footsteps fading into the distance.
A weight lifted slightly from my chest. If only one of them was guarding me, my chances of slipping away increased, especially if I didn't have to rely on Hera and could keep up the appearance of a weaker Omega. Still, to be safe, I decided to reach out to Thomas.
I slipped off the bracelet from my wrist and sent him an SOS signal.

Once that was done, I tucked the bracelet away, took a careful look at the terrain aroundand waited for aroundmy guard outside to get sleepy.
When he did, I found the thickest wooden stick I could inside the hut and hid it behind me.
Moving quietly, I snuck out of the wooden cabin. Locating the man crept up and swung the stick hard, catching him completely off guard. He crumpled to the ground before he knew what hit him. Not wasting a second, I sprinted down the mountain path.
The night air was biting cold, chillingto the bone. Shivering, but I kept running down the mountain.
In my haste, I misjudged a step. My foot slipped, and I went tumbling forward, rolling down the path until I finally crashed into a large tree, just before the edge of a cliff.
Lying on the ground, I gasped for air, staring up at the moon's bright light. When I was about to get up, I vaguely heard a sound of footsteps approaching.
My heart thumped as I heard the footsteps drawing closer. My pulse quickened, and I held my breath, going completely silent.
I had decided. If there was no escaping this time, I'd let Hera take control, tearing them apart, even if it meant exposing my true identity as an Alpha.
