Alpha Hayley’s Destined Mate
Chapter 603: Tear Hayley Apart
Hayley’s POV:
For years, I had dreamed of meeting my mother, of finally being with her. But now that everything seemed to be falling into place, I found myself uncertain, unsure of how to move forward.
“Hayley, this is a good thing! How lucky are we? Now we’ll get the healing we need just by being near your real mom,” Hera said excitedly. “It’ll help restore our energy and speed up our recovery.”
While Hera was filled with enthusiasm, my emotions were far more tangled and complicated.
Meanwhile, Freya had also seen the test results.
“That woman, she really is Michelle. She’s still alive?!”
Freya gripped the test report tightly in her hands, the paper crumpling as her anger surged. She could barely control herself, feeling a fierce urge to shift into her wolf form and tear Hayley apart right then and there, erasing any doubts or fears in an instant. Freya had worked so hard—everything had been meticulously planned, and she had taken control of the entire family. The return of Michelle could ruin everything.
As she began to think of a way to deal with this, the door to her office was suddenly thrown open. Her secretary tried to block Daniel from entering, but he was determined, pushing past her and striding in.
“Mr. Ortega, you can’t go in. Ms. Sander—”
Before the secretary could finish, both she and Daniel were standing right in front of Freya.
“Sorry, Ms. Sander, I couldn’t stop him,” the secretary said, lowering her head in apology.
“It’s fine. You can leave now,” Freya said, waving her hand dismissively.
As the door closed, Daniel chuckled. “Freya, you’re a busy one. Even your fiancé needs an appointment to see you.”
Freya didn’t flinch. She calmly took her seat, then spoke in a slow, deliberate tone, “You should know, we’re engaged, but we’re not married. I could end this engagement at any time, and you’d no longer be my mate.”
“I know,” Daniel replied coolly. “We’re together because it’s beneficial for both of us. Now that the Ortegas are finished, I would’ve done the same if I were in your position.”
“That’s right,” Freya responded, her voice flat. “In that case, I’ll spare you the trouble and won’t walk you out.”
“Hold on. Don’t be so hasty,” Daniel said, sitting down leisurely and crossing his legs, acting as if they were simply having a casual chat.
Freya couldn’t hide her disdain, rolling her eyes as she spoke, “Honestly, I admire you. You didn’t panic. Now, even with the Ortegas in ruins, you’re still so calm. Your ability to stay relaxed is impressive.”
“Of course,” Daniel said smoothly, his eyes narrowing into a smug smile as he rested his chin on his hand. “After all, I’ve got myself a wonderful fiancée.”
“Wait,” Freya interrupted with a dismissive gesture, “That was in the past. Now, you and I are nothing to each other.”
Daniel’s grin deepened as a calculating look appeared in his eyes. “Freya, do you really think you can just get rid of me? I’ve done so much for you, so many dirty things. I have all the evidence. If you try to get rid of me, I won’t be happy, and when I’m not happy… no one will be.”
The air in the room grew tense. Freya narrowed her eyes, locking onto Daniel’s face. She had underestimated him—this spoiled playboy, who only seemed to indulge in excess, had managed to turn the tables on her. If her dirty deeds were ever exposed, not only would she lose her chance at the Sanders’ leadership, but she could even be expelled from the pack… or worse, lose her wolf. The thought made her stomach twist.
Taking a deep breath, she forced a calm smile. “I guess we can’t cut ties just yet. Let’s just put up with each other a little longer.”
“Of course,” Daniel said, smiling widely as he extended his hand to take hers and kissed the back of her hand. “I knew you wouldn’t hang me up to dry, my love.”
Freya’s smile deepened, though her mind was filled with dark thoughts. Right now, I wish more than anything that you’d be torn apart! But there were more pressing matters to deal with, more important people to confront. She didn’t have the time or the energy to focus on Daniel at this moment.
Clutching the test report tightly, her nails digging into her palm, Freya prepared herself for what was to come. That afternoon, Freya stormed out of the office, with Daniel and a few Beta police officers following behind, and headed straight for the Carsons’ residence…
