AlphHayley’s Destined Mate
Chapter 255: No Chance at the Championship
Benjamin’s POV:
Deep down, I knew my car was broken. But right now, there was no time to dwell on that. If the brakes failed, it was only a matter of time before I lost control. The safety car wouldn’t get here in time. Before I knew it, I was catching up to Sara’s car. I threw open the door, the wind slamming into my face, and shouted toward her, “Stay back! My car’s malfunctioning!”
Hayley’s POV:
I could hear the urgency in Benjamin’s voice. It was clear that his car had a serious problem. But I had already swapped cars with him. Why was my car still fine, while his had broken down? The crowd around the track was stunned. Everyone held their breath, eyes glued to the action. I didn’t have time to think. Without hesitation, I gripped the steering wheel, made a sharp turn, and crashed straight into Benjamin’s car. The sound of the impact echoed in the air, followed by the screech of metal as the two cars collided. The force sent me lurching forward, but the seatbelt yanked me back into place. The audience gasped and jumped to their feet.
“What’s going on?” “What’s wrong with Sara?” “Did she really just drive into that car?”
The stands erupted into chaos. Nueve, looking on in disbelief, stood up. His eyes fixed on the twisted wreckage of the two cars, and his heart sank. He knew Hayley wasn’t the type to crash into someone else’s car without a reason. There had to be something more to this.
Chapter 265: No Chance at the Championship
Hayley’s POV:
I opened the door and got out, using my alpha strength to forcibly open Benjamin’s car door. “Are you okay?” I asked. The crash had been severe, and Benjamin was still disoriented. When he looked up, our eyes met. He muttered, “I’m fine.” But I noticed his leg was trapped under the wreckage, and he didn’t even realize it.
“Can you get your leg out?” I asked again. He shook his head. “I can’t.” The crew was already rushing over, caught off guard by the sudden turn of events. But the emergency medical team was ready. They hurried to free him from the car.
“The leg injury is severe. Even with your alpha healing ability, we need to get you to the hospital to avoid infection,” the doctor said, signaling for the nurses to wheel him away. I found someone to tow my car and check for damage. Before he left, Benjamin gave me a deep look and said, “Sara, thank you. I know if you hadn’t driven into my car to stop it, the consequences could have been much worse.”
After Benjamin was sent to the hospital, the race was officially concluded. Because of the accident, neither Benjamin nor I could finish the race, and I was eliminated. The championship title went to another racer.
“What went wrong with the car?” I asked the mechanic. The mechanic’s gaze darkened, and he said, “The brake line was cut. They also planted wolfsbane in the car.” My grip tightened on the steering wheel. No wonder Benjamin had been hurt so badly as an Alpha. Wolfsbane had weakened his wolf abilities. I had suspected someone would sabotage Benjamin’s car, which was why I had swapped with him. But I never expected it wouldn’t make a difference. The accident still took place.
“Sara, we’re so sorry. We should have handled this better,” one of the staff members apologized earnestly. They knew better than to upset someone like me, a legend in the racing world. “We never imagined someone would be bold enough to sabotage one of our racers. We sincerely regret the trouble this caused you.”
My eyes darkened, and I spoke coldly. “If apologies were enough, what would we need the police for? You better give me the full truth about this.” Anger surged within me, and I let my alpha presence spill out, intensifying the tension in the air.
