Alpha Hayley’s Destined Mate

Chapter 617: Bickered Over Luna

Hayley’s POV:

Smelling his scent, Hera reacted with excitement. I felt a pang of emotion; he truly shared my bloodline. Though it was hard to accept having a father, I sighed and let Benjamin help me sit up. Alan sat in a chair beside the bed, with Virginia standing behind him. The three of us sat in silence for a moment. Sensing my unease, Benjamin dragged another chair over and sat beside me. His large hand gently clasped mine, rubbing it soothingly. Feeling his warmth and smelling his comforting scent, I began to relax. Alan watched us with a pleased smile.

“Virginia told me you two are engaged?”

“Yes,” Benjamin replied promptly. “Hayley has agreed to officially become my Luna. I’m planning to hold the ceremony under the Moon Goddess’s witness soon.”

Alan’s expression changed to one of concern, his brow furrowing. “Hayley is still young. Shouldn’t there be no rush for marriage? She’s still in school. Becoming your Luna will bring greater responsibilities and pressure. How can an Omega handle that?”

Hearing his concern for me was touching. However, I wasn’t an Omega but a full-fledged Alpha, fully capable of handling the Luna responsibilities. But I couldn’t reveal this just yet.

“Let the young ones decide their own matters,” Virginia comforted him.

“How can that be?” Alan protested. “Michelle has been away for ten years and just returned. How can she be married off to another pack so soon? Besides, the position of the Sanders’ heir is no less than that of a Luna! She is meant to inherit my position, to become the head of the Sanders and govern the state alongside the Alpha King!”

Virginia smiled, exasperated. “When you recognized me as your destined mate, didn’t you rush to hold a ceremony and announce our marriage?”

Alan countered, “That was different! We’re talking about Michelle now. Don’t interrupt.”

“Why shouldn’t I? Michelle is my daughter too…”

Their soft bickering somehow felt endearing and warm. Next to me, though, Benjamin wasn’t as relaxed. Seeing Alan’s opposition, he spoke seriously, “Hayley has already agreed. The wedding preparations are underway. As for the marriage license, that can wait. But rest assured, after the wedding, all my assets will bear Hayley’s name.”

“You already instructed that?” I asked, surprised.

Benjamin gave me an innocent look. “As soon as you agreed, I informed Tyrone to take care of it. Early preparation ensures everything is perfect, especially since we’ve committed to each other. I’ve already changed several event planners. The wedding plans are still in competition. Everything prepared for you must be the best, without compromise!”

“Well, it’s up to you. Just don’t expect me to give my opinion,” I said. Although I had never been married, I understood it was no simple affair, especially for an Alpha like Benjamin. If I revealed my status as the Alpha of Shadow Pack, our wedding would become even more complicated. Sighing deeply, I loathed making decisions and thinking too much.

“Don’t worry, you won’t find it troublesome,” Benjamin promised with a good-natured smile.

Alan, in the midst of his gentle banter with Virginia, turned his attention to us upon hearing our conversation.

“No, I don’t agree!” he said firmly, his expression stern.
