Alpha Hayley’s Destined Mate

Chapter 212: What Are You Talking About?

Hayley’s POV:

Finished. I took a deep breath, forcing myself to stay calm. I replied, “Really? What exactly feels similar to you?”

Benjamin stayed silent for a long time before responding, “You two are different people. I can’t believe I ever thought of connecting the two of you.”

“It’s nothing; I guess I was just overthinking.”

I sighed in relief and said, “Since you can’t focus well, let’s just study another day.”

Benjamin didn’t refuse the suggestion. He simply sent an OK gesture and logged off.

I stared at the dimmed profile picture and couldn’t help but picture Benjamin in his room, the corners of his lips curving into a charming smile.

The next day, Christopher had already been waiting downstairs for a while. When he saw I hadn’t come down yet, he couldn’t help but urge, “Hayley, what are you doing? Hurry up, we’re going to be late!”

I rushed down the stairs. Last night, I hadn’t slept well and only fell asleep late at night, which was why I woke up so late today.

“I’m coming! I’m coming!”

I opened the car door and jumped in. Christopher started the car, and we drove off.

It seemed like Christopher was in a good mood today. He kept humming his new song.

“Hayley,” Christopher suddenly called my name. I looked up and hummed a reply. “What’s up?”

He studied my face for a moment and asked, “Is there something going on between you and Ben?”

I blinked, confused by his question. Still, I instinctively denied it. “What do you mean? There’s nothing going on.”

Thinking I didn’t understand, he asked again, “Hayley, be honest. Do you like Ben?”

I coughed lightly, trying to hide my true feelings, then turned my gaze toward the window and replied, “What are you talking about?”

Christopher clearly didn’t believe me. He pressed, “Really? Then why do I feel like there’s something off between you two? For example, Ben actually invited you to one of our brotherhood gatherings.”

“Or when you’re with him, he’s not giving off that cold, distant alpha energy. It seems to soften around you.”

“What are you thinking? There’s nothing wrong! Stop overthinking it. You should focus on your new song: 1/3 15:37 Sat, Jan 4 GG.”

Since I was getting upset, he didn’t push the topic any further.

After a while, he started talking about his new song again.

“My new song is written by Harmony, from lyrics to music. It’s amazing. If it weren’t for Harmony, this song wouldn’t have become such a hit.”

I listened as he praised Harmony, nodding along naturally.

“It’s pretty good.”

He sighed and said, “Actually, I want to thank Harmony in person, but I’ve never been able to reach her. Even Siete hasn’t been able to set up a meeting.”

I stayed silent. Noticing my silence, he switched the conversation back to me.

“By the way, Hayley, if you really like Ben, you’d better make a move soon. After all, Ben is the Alpha. Even if he’s willing to accept a chosen mate, there are so many women competing for him.”

“Even though you’re just an Omega and not particularly beautiful, I’ve gotten to know you over time. You’re a good person, and you have some talent.”

“We’ve gotten used to being around you. If Ben accepts you as the Luna of our pack, I could accept that too.”

I felt a little uncomfortable hearing all of his praise.

“You should focus on your own problems instead of worrying about mine,” I said, opening the car door and getting out.

As I walked away, I still heard Christopher muttering to himself, “What’s wrong with me? I’m fine, except I haven’t found my destined mate.”

Christopher’s POV:

I felt uneasy. Was Hayley avoiding the topic of her and Ben because she thought I was still single and lacked relationship experience?

Even though I didn’t have a strict rule about finding my destined mate, I did have high standards for choosing a mate. That’s why I had stayed single all this time.

I scoffed at Hayley’s avoidance but didn’t take it seriously.

Started the car, I drove off. But just then, my phone rang. I reached out to grab it from the passenger seat, but in my haste, it fell under the…

I quickly bent down to pick it up when I heard a loud…

Thankfully, I reacted fast, calling on my wolf instincts to hit the brakes just in time. But my body lurched forward, and due to the momentum, my head slammed into the windshield!

I saw someone lying on the road, and panic set in. I quickly got out of the car and asked, “Are you okay? Are you hurt?”

But when I saw who it was, I froze in shock.
