Chapter 491: I Will Come Clean Soon

Hayley’s POV:

“It’s okay,” Loretta waved her hand dismissively, lowering her head in disappointment. “You’re not her.” Then, she patted my shoulder and sighed. “I should’ve known. Harmony is like a godly figure; how could she easily show up?”

Christine caught up with the mood, gave me a knowing glance, and quickly jumped onto Loretta’s back like an accessory, playfully teasing her. “Wow, you’re amazing! You figured it out so quickly!”

“She looks so much like her, doesn’t she? That’s exactly why I begged Hayley to help me out,” Christine continued. “Do you know how many people outside actually think Harmony came to our school? Just like you!”

Loretta gave an awkward laugh, followed by another despondent sigh. Seeing her like this, I silently made up my mind. I would reveal my identity as an Alpha, along with everything else I’d been hiding, as soon as possible. When that time comes, I’ll apologize to all of them. But for now, due to certain circumstances, I can’t come clean yet.

Benjamin’s POV:

I stood at a distance, watching all of Hayley’s subtle expressions. Watching her effortlessly conceal her true identity from others, my grip on my phone tightened to the point of nearly crushing it. This was exactly how she had fooled me. Selena is her! I had to mobilize the Midnight Pack’s most powerful resources to uncover the truth. She’s the only woman I fell for and the one I’ve chosen to be my future Luna. Just how many identities does she have? How many secrets is she hiding from me?

The moment I learned she spoke Mornant, that rare and obscure language, I started connecting the dots between her and Selena. When I sent people to investigate, it was confirmed that she really was Selena! It turns out the world isn’t full of coincidences. And if there are any, they’re just carefully crafted designs by certain people. So now, I’m left wondering—am I just another pawn in her grand game?

Carrying that question, I left the scene and waited at the back door. When I saw Hayley step outside, I hid behind a pillar in the hallway and called her.

Hayley’s POV:

My wolf, Hera, had just caught Benjamin’s scent nearby. But when I came out, he was nowhere to be seen. I found it strange, but then my phone rang—it was him.

I answered the call happily. “What’s up, Mr. Benjamin? Miss me already?”

But today, Benjamin’s voice sounded distant and cold. “Hayley, do you think two completely different people can have identical voices?”

“I’m not sure.” I was puzzled by his question, but I was in a good mood and replied casually, “I mean, it’s not impossible. Otherwise, how would twins exist, right?”

However, Benjamin suddenly asked, “So… are you and Selena the same person?”

Panic hit me like a tidal wave. I took a deep breath, forcing myself to stay calm, and replied as steadily as I could, “Why do you say that?”

There was a long silence on the other end before Benjamin’s serious voice came through, “I compared your voiceprints with Selena’s. They’re almost an exact match.”

My heart felt like it had plunged into an icy abyss. Hera caught his scent again, but this time, she seemed to sense his anger. Instead of urging me to find him, she remained quiet.

I lifted my head and saw him step out from behind a pillar, walking toward me. His gaze, once filled with warmth and affection, was now cold and stern. My heart pounded uncontrollably, and I had no idea how to face him.

He stopped in front of me, placed a hand on my shoulder, and called my name. I opened my mouth to speak, but no words came out. I had too many identities, and it wasn’t the right time to reveal everything to him. The more he knew, the more danger he’d be in.

He read my silence like an open book. “So, Selena really is you!” His voice was laced with pain and anger as he confronted me.
