Alpha Hayley’s Destined Mate

Chapter 216: Choosing a Mate

Horace’s POV:

“Mr. Johnny, what can I do for you?” I asked.

Johnny smiled and replied, “What can you do? There’s nothing for you to do; I just want to discuss something. Do you remember what I mentioned last time?”

I knew exactly what he meant. Johnny was attempting to pair me with Hayley, intending for us to become mates. But honestly, I didn’t feel anything for Hayley. So, I played dumb and said, “I don’t remember what you’re talking about, Mr. Johnny.”

Johnny didn’t seem to care about my response. He simply turned to Hayley and said, “Hayz, you’ve been the alpha of the Shadow Pack for quite a while now. It’s time to find a mate. What do you think of Horace?”

Hayley’s POV:

I was caught off guard by Johnny’s words.

“Godfather, what are you talking about? I’m still young!”

Johnny replied, “When I married your godmother, she was about your age. Now is the perfect time for you to settle down.”

I was speechless. With Horace right there, I didn’t know how to say some things, so I tried to be subtle. “I’m still in school. I don’t want to choose a mate so soon.”

Johnny frowned and responded, “You’ve already earned two degrees. What more do you need to study? You should listen to me and take over my business right away.”

Horace, hearing this, looked at me with surprise.

“Horace, what do you think? Hayley might not be my biological daughter, but I treasure her more than anything. If the two of you end up together, I’ll consider it one less worry for me.”

Horace smiled and replied, “Mr. Johnny, relationships take time to develop. This is the first time Ms. Carson and I have met. Although we don’t have a strong connection yet, we plan to spend more time together in the future.”

Johnny nodded, clearly pleased with his response. “Horace is a good guy. Hayz, trust your godfather’s judgment. He’s perfect for you.”

I hadn’t expected that my godfather had invited me over for this. After thinking it over, I finally said, “Sorry, Godfather. I didn’t know you were trying to introduce me to a mate. I’m already in a relationship.”

After a few seconds, Johnny spoke, clearly skeptical. “You’re not joking, are you? You’ve never mentioned you were in a relationship.”

I felt flustered, but once the words were out, I couldn’t take them back. “We just started dating, so it’s not serious yet. But next time, I’ll definitely bring him to meet you.”

Johnny raised an eyebrow and asked, “Are you serious?”

I nodded quickly.

Johnny looked apologetically at Horace, who smiled and reassured him. “Mr. Johnny, it’s no problem. Getting to know Ms. Carson has been an honor. Maybe it’s just that my connection with her isn’t strong enough yet.”

Johnny turned back to me and said, “If you really have a mate, bring him over so I can meet him and check things out.”

Before I could respond, one of the beta enforcers came running in to report.

“Boss, someone has forced their way into our territory. They’ve been subdued by the men, but how should we handle them?”

Johnny’s face darkened with anger. “Throw them in a cell for now. We’ll deal with them later.”

But then, something occurred to me. I quickly called out to the bodyguard—
