Alpha Hayley’s Destined Mate

Chapter 201: Go Easy On You

Hayley’s POV:

When I saw I was getting serious, Henry immediately pulled out his phone. “How about you play around first, Boss? Let me see what you’re capable of.”

I smiled lightly. “No need; let’s do it now.”

Sensing that I meant business, Henry nodded in agreement.

Just as I was about to log into my account, which I hadn’t touched in ages, I realized I had forgotten my password. So, I created a new account and logged in.

“I’ll add you as a friend,” I said, then asked for Henry’s username. Not long after, I received a friend request from a new account.

Henry saw that my account was at level zero and couldn’t help but laugh at me. He patted me on the shoulder reassuringly. “Your account’s level is way too low. You’re not a complete beginner, are you?”

“It’s fine. When we team up, I’ll go easy on you so you won’t lose too badly.”

I simply smiled, choosing not to explain.

“How do we play?” I asked.

Henry, assuming I didn’t know the game well enough, started to explain, but I quickly interrupted him. “Are we playing 1v1, 3v3, or 5v5?”

He glanced at his phone and said, “Several teammates of mine are online. Let’s go for 5v5. It’ll be more fun, and I’ll call them over now.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Henry sent a message in the group chat. Thanks to my sharp eyes as an Alpha, I could clearly see the conversation between him and his friends. When they found out they’d be teaming up with a newbie like me, their excitement instantly vanished. They began complaining to Henry.

“Dude, are you serious? You’re picking someone who doesn’t know anything to drag us down? I’m not up for that.”

“Yeah, buddy, at least get someone with similar skill, so we can still have some fun.”

Henry replied, “I know it’s a tough request, but Hayley is my boss. She agreed to play with me to motivate me to study well, and I can’t let her down.” He typed quickly. “If you guys play this match, I’ll send you all a full set of skins later.”

I thought to myself, “With money like his, he can do whatever he wants.”

After a brief silence, everyone responded in unison, “Alright, let’s go with a round.”

Henry sighed in relief and quickly turned to me. “Boss, they’re in.”

It had been a long time since I last played this game, but I had no trouble getting back into the swing of things. My movements felt smooth and natural, just like before. Our team quickly matched with an opponent, and we jumped straight into the game.

“Boss, just stick with me. Your moves are slow, so don’t run off,” Henry warned, still worried.

I didn’t answer but focused on the game, quickly moving my character forward. As soon as I encountered an enemy, I took them out quickly. My actions were fluid and precise, and I immediately knocked out their top player.

“Whoa, nice job!” One of our teammates, Miles, exclaimed without hesitation.

Even Henry was surprised. He looked at me with wide eyes. “Boss, that was impressive! You don’t look like a newbie at all.”

I didn’t respond, continuing to chase down the enemy. Henry quickly followed, his moves steady and his skills solid. However, in a moment of distraction, Henry got ambushed by the enemy.

“D*mnit!” Henry cursed as his health drained, and he collapsed to the ground.

Without missing a beat, I rushed over, healed him completely, and then turned to chase after the enemy. My attacks were so swift that they weren’t even aware of what was happening before I took them down.

In the end, I single-handedly led our team to victory. The game ended soon after. Henry was left stunned, his eyes wide as he stared at me in amazement.
