Alpha Hayley’s Destined Mate

Chapter 464: Shall We Head Back Home?

The old lady stood up with a slight grimace and motioned to the servant nearby, “Come, give me a hand; I had a little tumble.”

The servant looked concerned. “Madam, are you all right? Shall I call the doctor to check on you?”

“There’s no need for that,” she reassured them, brushing off the concern with a wave of her hand. “Remember, I’m a high-ranking werewolf. I heal quickly. Besides, a sweet little girl already helped me out with some medicine. I’ll be fine.”

The servant nodded but looked puzzled, not seeing anyone around.

“Shall we head back home then, Madam?”

The old lady’s face shifted, showing a hint of hesitation. “Of course. If I don’t go home, that demon will destroy the place.”

“Understood, Madam.”

With that, the old lady climbed into the car, and as it started, they drove off slowly, leaving the scene behind.

Hayley’s POV:

I had just poured myself a glass of water and was settling into my dorm when there was a knock at the door.

A bit surprised, I called out, “Who’s there?”

A familiar voice responded, “Ms. Carson, it’s me!”

I opened the door to find Winifred standing there, looking quite formal.

“Winifred, how did you find out where I live?” I asked, my frown deepening.

“I asked the dorm manager,” she explained.

I felt a twinge of annoyance at this; it felt like a breach of my privacy.

“Ms. Carson, I’m really sorry for just showing up. The young lady sent me to fetch you,” Winifred said apologetically.

I replied, a bit sharply, “What’s it about, Winifred?”

She smiled slightly. “The young lady wishes to discuss something with you.”

Before I could say no, Freya appeared, saying, “Ms. Carson!”

She dismissed Winifred with a gesture. “You can go, I’ll speak with Ms. Carson myself.”

With Winifred gone, Freya stood at my door.

“May I come in?” she asked with a smile.

I stepped aside, letting her into my room.

“Please, take a seat, Ms. Sander,” I offered.

She sat down, her expression turning serious. “Ms. Carson, I’m sorry to intrude like this.”

“What’s going on? Is this about the wedding dress?” I asked directly.

Freya cut me off, “Regarding the wedding dress, I trust that with your exceptional design talents, there shouldn’t be any issues. However, I’m here today because of my mother.”

Her face grew tense with worry as she continued.

“Ms. Carson, I really wouldn’t bother you if it wasn’t absolutely necessary. There’s truly no other solution for what I’m dealing with.”

Freya took a deep breath, looking visibly distressed. “As you know, my mother’s condition is quite poor. She’s been asking about you constantly. I wouldn’t keep coming to you like this if it weren’t for her insistence. Ms. Carson, I need to ask for your help once more.”

I bit my lip and asked, “Ms. Sander, what exactly do you need from me this time?”
