Alpha Hayley’s Destined Mate

Chapter 604: Who Are You Looking For?

“Is anyone home? Anybody here?!” the lead officer shouted loudly at the door.

“Who’s there? Are you here to collect a debt or something, shouting so urgently?” May quickly rushed to the door and opened it.

As soon as the door swung open, a group of five or six people pushed their way inside.

“Hey, hey, hey, who are you looking for?” May stepped forward to block their path.

“Are you Virginia Sander?” one of the officers asked.

“No,” May answered, shaking her head.

“Then who are you?” the officer pressed.

“I’m the lady of the house!” May announced loudly, standing her ground.

“In that case, you can call Virginia out. We need to take her with us,” the officer said.

“I don’t know anyone named Virginia,” May replied, irritation creeping into her voice. “You came all the way to the Carsons’ house looking for someone named Virginia Sander?”

“If you don’t know her, stop wasting our time with useless chatter,” the officer snapped, brushing past her and continuing into the house.

May hesitated for a moment but, seeing their uniforms, didn’t dare stop them. She jogged ahead, leading them through the house.

Outside in the yard, Virginia was taking a stroll with Dorothy. When Freya spotted her, she hurried over, feigning concern, and quickly placed a hand on Virginia’s arm. “What are you doing out here? You’re Mrs. Sanders; why are you taking care of someone else like a servant?”

Daniel, following closely behind, added his voice to the mock concern. “Exactly, just come with us. Freya has been so worried about you.”

Before Virginia could react, the two of them each grabbed an arm, holding her firmly in place, preventing her from moving.

Turning to the officers, Freya said, “We found her, officer.”

The officer nodded. “Then take her back.”

Freya had briefed the officers beforehand about Virginia’s mental condition, explaining that her moments of clarity were rare. She had gone missing before, and the Carsons had taken her in. They were now there to bring her back. A person with a mental illness didn’t have the right to decide where they could live. The guardian held the authority to either keep them at home or take them to a hospital, but they couldn’t just stay with strangers.

Virginia struggled, jerking her arm free from Freya’s hold. “I’m not going! I’m not going back!” she cried out.

Before Virginia could get away, the bodyguards Freya had brought stepped forward and forcibly…

Chapter 604: Who Are You Looking For?

Hayley’s POV:

“Stop right there!” Benjamin and I had just walked in from the backyard when we witnessed the scene unfolding before us.

Watching them drag my biological mother away like this, treating her so callously, filled me with rage. Inside me, Hera was already boiling with fury, ready to lash out and tear them all apart!

“What the hell do you think you’re doing?!” Benjamin roared, his voice deep and powerful, sending a wave of intimidation across the room. “You’re trying to take someone right in front of me?”

“Taking someone? I’m just bringing my mom back home. Do I need your permission to do that?”

“Benjamin, you might be the Alpha of Midnight Pack, but that doesn’t give you the right to interfere with my family’s business!” Freya sneered, her voice dripping with disdain.

She then turned to the officers and added, “Officers, we’ll be taking her with us.”

The officer nodded. “It’s time to take her back to where she belongs.”

“I dare anyone to try and take her!” I shouted, unable to contain my fury any longer. My fists clenched as I glared at them, my voice full of pure rage.

“Stay out of this!” the officer snapped at me, clearly offended by my challenge to his authority.

“Her own daughter wants to see her mother, and you think you can stop that?”

“You’re trying to keep her without her family member’s permission? That’s illegal confinement! Do you even know what that means? You’ll end up behind bars for this!” the police officer warned.

“Who says her family member doesn’t agree?” I said, narrowing my eyes at the officer.

“So you’re saying her family member agreed to this? Why haven’t I heard about it?” The officer gave me a dismissive look, like I was speaking nonsense.

“I agreed,” I replied, my voice firm and resolute. My wolf eyes flashed with intensity as I locked eyes with him.
