Chapter 115: I’ve Already Found My Destined Mate

Hayley’s POV:

“Do you really want to avoid me this badly?” he said, glaring at me in frustration. I struggled to break free. “What are you doing? Let me go!” At the same time, Hera was furious within me, wanting to break free and bite him.

“Hayley, I’m serious,” Irving said, his tone laced with a hint of desperation. “I’m not joking. I truly care about you. Will you at least think about it?”

I managed to rein in Hera and said firmly, “I told you, I’m not into you, and I won’t just choose you as my mate. I hope you’ll stop saying things like that. It goes against the will of the Moon Goddess, which is not how a high-ranking wolf should behave.”

I yanked my hand away and took several steps back. “I’m sorry!” Then I turned to leave, but Irving wouldn’t let it go. “You’re rejecting me by saying you’ve found your destined mate. Who is this person?”

I struggled to keep my anger in check. “I’m sorry, but that’s my personal matter, and I don’t think I owe you an explanation.”

Irving stared at me intently. “Just tell me if it’s one of us five brothers.”

I was about to respond when I caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of my eye. Benjamin had unexpectedly appeared.

The moment Irving noticed Benjamin, his entire demeanor changed. He still seemed to regard Benjamin with a certain wariness, given that he was the Alpha of the Midnight Pack.

Relieved, I took the opportunity to step away.

Benjamin’s POV:

Once Hayley left, it was just me and Irving. I casually poured myself a glass of water and, after taking a sip, took my time assessing him. “It seems like you’re gearing up to start some schemes.”

Irving kept a straight face and shot back, “Oh, so now you’re interested in me, Ben?”

I leaned in, letting my Alpha’s presence show as I warned him. “This isn’t about caring for you; it’s a reminder. Stay away from her! She’s not someone you should be messing with.”

Irving chuckled. “Who she belongs to isn’t for you to decide, Ben! The outcome is still uncertain!”

I narrowed my eyes. “It seems you’re determined to have her.”

Irving tugged at his shirt and replied, “Don’t worry, Ben, I won’t let you down.” Restless inside me as well, I managed to keep him in check. Unless absolutely necessary, I didn’t want to resort to using my Alpha’s power against him, especially not to embarrass Grandpa.

The next morning, as I stepped out of my bedroom, I was greeted by Henry. “Good morning, Ben!”

I was caught off guard. “What are you doing up so early today?”

Henry grinned. “It’s all because of you, Ben.”

A spark of curiosity crossed my mind as Henry took out a small, beautifully wrapped box. “Happy birthday, Ben!”

It was then that it hit me – today was my birthday!

“Ben, check this out! I’ve picked out this birthday gift just for you, and I really hope you like it!” Henry said eagerly. As he watched intently, I opened the box to reveal a set of keys for a Bugatti Veyron supercar.

“It’s the latest model of your favorite car.”

I smiled at him. “Thanks, bro.”

“I’m glad you like it!”

At that moment, Christopher came over and chimed in, “Happy birthday, Ben!”

Henry leaned in eagerly. “What about the gift? You can’t just say happy birthday without a gift!”

Christopher gave a mysterious smile. “Don’t worry, the gift will be delivered right on time tonight.”

I patted his shoulder. “You’re making it sound quite intriguing.”

As we chatted and laughed our way downstairs, Hayley came down shortly after. She passed us with a blank expression, completely ignoring me.

Henry couldn’t help but nudge her. “Today is Ben’s birthday! Do you have anything prepared?”

I turned to her, hopeful for her response.
