Alpha Hayley’s Destined Mate

Chapter 663: The Seduction Plot

Hayley’s POV:

“Well,” Virginia hesitated, unable to formulate an explanation. Seeing her flustered and conflicted expression, I simply waved my hand. “You guys figure it out.”

Darcy’s POV:

Jeremy called Harris and me outside—only to tell me to seduce Benjamin! Me? A dignified lady from a prestigious family? Doing something so shameless? The thought alone made me feel utterly wronged.

I couldn’t help but complain, “Dad, you want me to seduce Hayley’s fiancé on her own turf! Isn’t that too risky? If I get caught, Virginia and Peter definitely won’t let me off the hook!”

“Then don’t get caught,” Harris interjected coldly. “I don’t need to introduce Benjamin to you, do I? If you become his Luna, I’ll even have to show you respect in the future. I am doing this for your own good. Are you really going to be this stubborn?”

“But…”

“Enough, stop arguing,” Jeremy cut us off impatiently. He turned to me and said, “I’ve told you before that being a high-ranking werewolf is nothing compared to marrying well. If you can endure a little humiliation now, you’ll become one of the most powerful Lunas on this continent. Are you telling me you can’t even endure this small setback? Darcy, you still haven’t found your fated mate, and Benjamin is outstanding. Do you know how many noble ladies dream of marrying him? But none of them even have a chance to get close to him. And now, an opportunity has fallen right into your lap. Are you really going to let it slip away? If Benjamin stands with us, then I’ll have the chance to become the head of the Sanders one day. We rise and fall together, Darcy. You can’t afford to be selfish about this.”

I lowered my head, lost in thought for a moment. In the end, I nodded obediently. “Don’t worry, Dad. I won’t disappoint you.”

“Good girl. Everything depends on you now.” Jeremy patted my shoulder meaningfully before turning to leave.

“Go for it, Darcy,” Harris added before walking away as well.

As soon as I stepped inside, I pushed down my complicated emotions and tried my best to put on a pleasant smile. But to my surprise, the once lively courtyard was now completely empty—not a single person in sight. It felt as if they were deliberately avoiding me.

I had been pampered and adored my entire life. When had I ever been treated so coldly? My nose stung with the urge to cry. But remembering Jeremy’s instructions, I had no choice but to hold my tears back. He was right; enduring humiliation was a necessary part of life. As long as I could take Benjamin away from Hayley and become the revered Luna in the future, these grievances would mean nothing. With my looks, winning over Benjamin was only a matter of time. And when that day came, I’d like to see who would still dare look down on me!

Thinking of this, I no longer felt sad. Instead, I was filled with determination. A plan quickly formed in my mind. Without hesitation, I turned and headed toward the back courtyard—to find Virginia.
