Alpha Hayley’s Destined Mate

Chapter 639: They’d Better Not Even Think about Interfering with My Life

Hayley’s POV:

Peter, a man of swift action, took the money and left. Henry had already departed, leaving a rare stillness in the air. As his sister, I didn't mind giving Peter a little financial help, but Alan and Freya had better not even think about interfering with my life.

I had no interest in becoming more entangled with the Sanders. I would always be Alpha Hayley of the Shadow Pack, the proud granddaughter of my grandparents. That bond was more than enough for me, and I wouldn’t allow anything to change that.

Later that night, after turning off the lights, I sat at my desk, my fingers swiftly typing lines of code. The person who had replaced Dominic and dared to issue an arrest warrant for Claudio wasn’t someone who would stop with just one action. I needed to dig deeper into Dominic’s account to stay ahead of whatever they were planning next.

But after several failed attempts, it became clear that this person had covered their tracks well. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t break through their defenses. Who could it be? Someone with this level of expertise in counter-surveillance and technology wasn’t an easy opponent. I had never faced anyone like this before.

Frustrated, I let out a deep sigh. I glanced at the time—11:55 p.m. Deciding it was enough for the night, I shut down my computer and prepared to get some sleep.

Just as I settled into bed, I heard footsteps from the yard next door, followed by the sound of a car starting up. Where was Benjamin headed at this hour?

Curious, I grabbed my phone and opened a tracking app I had written myself. The red dot representing Benjamin slowly began moving, and an unsettling feeling washed over me. I had secretly installed a tracker on his phone while we were playing games together the day before. The app automatically marked any location where he stayed for more than five minutes and stored data, in case either of our wolves went dormant, preventing me from using our mental link to locate him.

I waited a little longer until the red dot turned around and began heading back. Only then did I close the app, relieved, and finally allowed myself to drift off to sleep.

The next morning, I woke up early and rushed over to Benjamin’s house. But when I arrived, he wasn’t there. Not even his Beta, Tyrone, was around.

Frowning, I instinctively opened the tracking app again. This time, the red dot was right on top of my own blue dot, confirming that Benjamin was indeed in the house. I zoomed in on the map and followed the dot to his room. I pushed the door open, but the room was empty. Yet, Benjamin’s phone was lying quietly on the table.

A wave of unease surged through me, and Hera, my wolf, began to stir restlessly inside me. Without wasting a second, I called Tyrone.

He answered quickly. “Ms. Carson, how can I help you?”

“Where is Benjamin?” I asked, my tone direct.

“He’s probably still in the courtyard, resting,” Tyrone replied calmly. His voice was steady, but I could sense something wasn’t right.

“I’m in his room, and I have his phone here. Do you need me to go on?” I asked coldly.

There was a long pause on the other end. After a moment, Tyrone hesitated before saying, “Alpha is safe now, Ms. Carson. You don’t need to worry.”

“Safe now? Does that mean he wasn’t safe last night?” I pressed, narrowing my eyes as I tightened my grip on the phone.

Tyrone fell silent again.

“You don’t have to tell me, but if you stay silent, it’ll just prove that you and your pack don’t consider me the future Luna of the Midnight Pack. If that’s the case, Benjamin doesn’t need to come looking for me anymore. If you think this is the best solution, then stay quiet,” I warned, my voice cold and firm.

I waited in silence, holding my breath as I awaited Tyrone’s response.
