Alpha Hayley’s Destined Mate

Chapter 296: Has He Fallen for an Omega?

Tanner’s POV

I could sense Benjamin’s irritation. Realizing I had said something wrong, I immediately apologized, “Ben, don’t be mad. I didn’t mean to badmouth Hayley. I just think that everyone loves their partners with good looks, and with her looks, there might be some regrets.”

Benjamin’s expression softened slightly, and he said, “Don’t ever repeat that. From now on, don’t speak ill of her.”

Seeing how serious he was, I quickly nodded. “Alright, Ben! You can count on me. I’ll keep my mouth shut from now on.”

I hadn’t expected Ben to defend Hayley so fiercely. Could it be that he’s fallen for an Omega?

Hayley’s POV:

I changed into the wedding dress in the fitting room. It fit perfectly, almost without a single flaw. The only downside was that it felt incredibly heavy, like I was carrying a massive stone on my back. It made me feel stifled, and even breathing became a bit difficult.

I took a deep breath and walked out. “Benjamin, I’m ready.”

When I stood before Benjamin, I saw the surprise in his eyes. I knew it was because of my figure. The dress was so well-tailored that it highlighted my curves, making me look stunning.

Even Tanner stared at me for quite a while, probably not expecting the dress to look so good on me.

“How do I look? Is there something wrong?” I asked, noticing their silence.

Both men snapped out of their daze, with Benjamin speaking first, “No issues. It looks great, and it suits your personality perfectly.”

Tanner quickly added, “Hayley, this dress suits you so well. If it were for an engagement party, it would be breathtaking.”

I asked uncertainly, “Really? Do you think so?”

The two of them nodded at the same time. I smiled, agreeing with them. I also thought the dress looked great. But there was one flaw—the dress was so heavy, it made me feel suffocated. After just a few minutes of wearing it, I could already feel a slight sweat forming on my back.

“I just think the material isn’t very lightweight. It’s a bit suffocating, and it’s too tight, which makes the overall comfort a bit lacking,” I said.

My wolf, Hera, immediately sensed that Tanner’s wolf was starting to show signs of hostility. I understood. As a designer, Tanner didn’t take kindly to anyone pointing out flaws in his work. But this dress was on me, so I had to be honest about the issue.

Tanner furrowed his brow and impatiently asked, “Then what material do you think would be better?”

Although he was asking me, his tone carried a hint of disdain, as if saying that I, someone who wasn’t an expert, didn’t know the first thing about design and was speaking out of turn.

I picked up on his tone but didn’t get upset. Instead, I calmly replied, “I think a lighter fabric, like chiffon, would work better. Also, the skirt design could be slightly altered. That way, not only would it lighten the load on the wearer, but it would also enhance the overall aesthetic.”

“Alright, if that’s what you think, I’ll try making the changes,” Tanner said, signaling for his assistant to bring me a new dress.

Seeing his displeasure, I quickly added, “Don’t get me wrong. I’m just offering a small suggestion. Your design is elegant, and overall, it’s really beautiful.”

Tanner nodded. “It’s fine. If you think there’s an issue, I’ll fix it.”

His tone wasn’t as polite. Benjamin glanced at him.
