Alpha Hayley’s Destined Mate

Chapter 700: Leave My Room

Hayley’s POV:

I nodded at him, indicating my approval. Only then did he say to Henry, “I’ll think about it.”

“Oh, yeah! That’s great news! I was afraid that you wouldn’t even consider!” Henry jumped up in joy, as if Dominic already agreed to his request. After a moment, he returned to his calm self and displayed a solemn expression, saying, “Bring it on, I am ready. I’ll take whatever test you’re putting me through!”

“Okay,” Dominic furrowed his brows and replied, “First of all—leave my room.”

“What?” Henry lamented in disappointment.

“Fool,” I couldn’t bear to see him continue acting foolishly. I slapped his head from behind and reminded him, “He’s a patient now. He needs rest. Do you want to see him sick all the time?”

“Oh, you’re right!” Henry nodded as he staggered backward. He told Dominic, “Then, I won’t bother you anymore. Just let me know if you need anything. Even if it’s not within my power, I will ask my friend, the Alpha of the Midnight Pack, for help. From now on, I will devote myself wholeheartedly to SI!”

Dominic absentmindedly replied, “Okay, I’ll keep that in mind.” Henry made a fist in front of his chest and pumped it, then punched his chest in front of Dominic before leaving.

Dominic let out a sigh as he looked at me suspiciously. I knew. He was doubting his own decision, thinking that maybe he had made the wrong choice. I gave him a sympathetic look, closed the door, and left as well.

In the courtyard, Henry happily transformed into a wolf and bounced around. Benjamin shook his head and shouted at him, “When are you going to act more mature?”

With that, he walked toward me and asked, “Hayz, what rare herbs do that person in there and your grandma need to maintain their health? Give me a list. I’ll personally go to the black market and buy them.”

“We have a black market in this city?” It was the first time I had heard of it.

“Yes,” Benjamin nodded and said, “You’re lucky; the black market here has just started.”

“Yeah,” I said, agreeing with his statement. Luck had always been one of my strong suits.

The black market could exist and sustain itself because it’s a mysterious entity that most people couldn’t find. Those who could enter the black market had the strongest backgrounds. Although the strength of the Midnight Pack was top-tier, it was hard to believe that Benjamin was able to find the entrance to the black market solely by relying on his status as the Alpha. I knew that he must be hiding even more strength. He just wasn’t ready to be honest with me yet. Just like how I couldn’t be honest with him about my Alpha status and everything related to that.

“Ben, take me with you!” Henry rushed over excitedly and pleaded.

“You?” Benjamin’s brows shot up. He quipped, “If I bring you with me, you might end up getting sold without me noticing it.”

“Ben, are you still my dear Ben? I only know how to eat, drink, and have fun, but I don’t want it to be like this. You never take me to train with your Betas. When will I ever grow?” Henry complained to him in frustration.

Benjamin fell silent. I knew that Benjamin was not going to risk hurting Henry, his younger brother. However, Henry had grown up. He shouldn’t be protected at home all the time like a hothouse flower. He was a Beta who also received werewolf combat training from the system. He was not as weak as Benjamin perceived him to be.

After some thought, I patted Henry on his back and told him, “I’ll take you with me.”
