Alpha Hayley’s Destined Mate
Chapter 695: A Misunderstanding
When Henry saw Zayd holding Frederick’s face, his eyes widened with excitement, as if he had just uncovered a shocking secret. Zayd met his gaze and paused briefly before realizing what was going through Henry’s mind. Silently, he withdrew his hand from Frederick’s face.
But Henry’s curiosity remained. He eagerly ran over, threw his arms around Zayd, and grinned. “Zayd, come on, spill! When did you two get together?” As he spoke, he shot Frederick a knowing look.
Frederick rolled his eyes, inwardly questioning whether the clueless Henry was truly Benjamin’s brother.
“Mr. Henry, this is a misunderstanding…” Zayd had barely started explaining when Henry interrupted with a carefree wave. “No need to be shy!” He patted Zayd’s chest and continued excitedly, “So, who made the first move?”
Zayd was speechless. He sighed and patiently replied, “Alpha asked me to assist Captain Langston with his daily needs. That’s all.” His voice was calm and serious, leaving no room for misinterpretation. Everyone knew one thing about Zayd – he never joked.
Henry awkwardly cleared his throat and subtly pulled his hand away. He then smoothly shifted the topic. “But Frederick looks fine. I just linked with his wolf, and there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong. Why does he need someone to take care of him?”
Zayd respectfully explained, “He may seem fine, but Ms. Carson did something to him that left him completely paralyzed.” At first, he found it hard to believe that an Omega like Hayley possessed such abilities. But after witnessing it himself, he accepted the truth. Last night, he had seen her use nothing but a single needle. In the blink of an eye, Frederick, a man even burlier than him, had collapsed. Her needling technique was terrifying.
At that moment, Zayd realized he might need to reevaluate Hayley entirely.
“Oh, I see.” Henry nodded thoughtfully. Zayd glanced over, surprised by how composed Henry was. It was as if nothing that had just happened fazed him. After all, sealing pressure points with a silver needle wasn’t something just anyone could do.
Meanwhile, Henry was lost in thought, wondering if Frederick would come after him once his pressure points healed. “Take care of Frederick,” Henry said, patting Zayd’s shoulder before running out.
Zayd remained in place, feeling oddly dismissed.
At the same time, Henry found Benjamin and asked, “What did Frederick do to upset Hayley? How did he end up like that?” Benjamin, clearly in no mood to talk, simply shot back, “Don’t ask questions you shouldn’t.” He then walked out.
Henry awkwardly scratched the back of his neck, sensing layers of hidden truths. Both Frederick and Dominic were involved, and Henry’s gut told him Dominic was no ordinary person. He was tired of being left in the dark. Instead of overthinking, he simply chose a room to settle in. He believed that the truth would reveal itself if he stayed long enough.
But there wasn’t much to do there. Boredom crept in quickly, and before he realized it, he had dozed off. Just as he drifted into sleep, a sudden commotion from the courtyard next door jolted him. The loud noise made Henry think he was still dreaming, but the moment he remembered he was at Benjamin’s place, he jolted awake. Jumping out of bed, he dashed toward the door.
