Alpha Hayley’s Destined Mate
Chapter 625: Get Out!
The tension in the room was palpable, and Justin quickly seized the opportunity to speak.
“Dad, why are you being so stubborn? Hayley was just adopted; she’s not really one of us. Her biological family has come for her, so it makes sense to send her back, doesn’t it?”
“You’ve been lecturing me all this time, and now you want to act like this is okay, keeping something that doesn’t belong to you?”
“Shut your mouth!” Bill snapped, his voice low and furious. “You don’t get to have a say in this. I can’t even look at you right now. Get out!”
“Enough with the ‘get out’!” Justin shot back, his frustration boiling over. “I may not be your favorite, but I’m still your only son. You can’t just throw me out like this!”
Justin was completely losing control, his pride forgotten. All that mattered was staying at the Carsons’ and pushing Hayley out. He was convinced that if he could do that, the Alpha position in the Shadow Pack would eventually be his, as the biological son.
“You…you bastard!” Bill’s anger was so intense he could hardly speak. He slammed his cane on the floor, the sound reverberating through the room.
Seeing his opening, Alan spoke up, his voice smooth and calculated.
“Bill, I shouldn’t get involved in the Carsons’ matters, but it seems like Hayley staying here isn’t something everybody wants. Considering both options have their issues, it would make more sense for her to be with her real family.”
Alan let his words hang in the air, his eyes deliberately flicking toward Justin. His message was clear: with Justin here, Hayley wouldn’t have an easy time staying at the Carsons’.
Hayley’s POV:
As an Alpha, my senses were far more acute than most people’s, and my hearing was especially sharp. Even though I was in my room, every word they spoke reached me clearly.
When I heard Alan’s presumptuous plan, something inside me snapped. I couldn’t stay quiet any longer. I stormed out of my room and shouted, “You don’t have to concern yourselves with my life!”
I cast a cold glance over them all before speaking, my voice firm and resolute. “Since everyone is gathered here, let me say this once and for all. No matter what happens with my identity, as long as Grandpa and Grandma are here, I will stay with the Carsons, and I belong to the Shadow Pack! No one and nothing can change that decision!”
“Michelle, no, Hayley, please don’t be upset!” Virginia, who had been quiet until now, quickly stepped forward, her voice shaky as she tried to calm me down. “Your dad doesn’t mean any harm. He just wants to give you a proper title. You know those things are yours by right!”
I met her eyes but said nothing in response.
At that moment, Alan’s phone rang, breaking the tension in the room. He frowned, checked the message, then suddenly stood up. Virginia leaned in, trying to see, but Alan quickly turned off his phone and shoved it into his pocket.
“Who was that?” Virginia asked, clearly puzzled.
“It’s nothing. Just a junk message,” Alan brushed off her question with a dark expression.
He turned to me then, his eyes narrowing as he spoke again, his voice cold and calculated. “Since you want to stay with the Carsons, we’ll let things be for now. But the formal ceremony to officially bring you into the Sanders will still go ahead. As a member of the Sanders, you have responsibilities. Many wolves in the pack are waiting for you to lead them, and the future of the Sander Group relies on you. Michelle, I’ll be waiting for you.”
With that, he turned and walked out, his long strides taking him out the door.
I watched him leave, my voice icy as I spoke, “There’s no need for you to wait. I’m not interested in anything to do with the Sanders. You can come here, but you can’t make me leave!”
