Alpha Hayley's Destined Mate

Chapter 753 Benjamin is Back

Hayley's POV:

"You're disgusting!" I snapped at him, furious.

Truman paused for a few seconds then slowly turned to face me.

"Ms. Carson, I just helped you out. Isn't this a bit ungrateful?"

"I never asked you to," I replied coldly, my expression dark.

The truth was, I had everything under control. I could've handled that man on my own. Truman had barged in uninvited, acting like some hero. If he hadn't shown up, Hera would've already torn that creep to pieces.

I hesitated for a beat, then threw the pocket square in my hand right at Truman's chest. My eyes flared like a wolf's as I snapped, "Take your filthy handkerchief and keep your hands to yourself, unless you've got a death wish!"

He chuckled in that infuriating way of his. "Oh my, Ms. Carson. You're fierce tonight. But what can I say? I kind of like it." He took a step forward, that same smug, sleazy look on his face.

Without hesitation, I pulled my foot away from the man lying beneath me and aimed a solid kick straight at Truman's groin.

But just before my foot made contact, he caught my leg with both hands.

"Haha." A low, amused laugh escaped him. He raised a brow and said, "If that had landed, Ms. Carson, you'd be regretting it for the rest of your life."

"Oh, really?" I narrowed my eyes. Then, using the grip he had on my legs as leverage, I launched myself into the air. My body twisted mid-air, and with my other leg, I brought down a sharp kick straight to Truman's shoulder.

I wasn't just any Omega-I was an Alpha. And I had mastered our pack's combat techniques.

Truman staggered back two steps, letting go and wincing as he clutched the spot where my kick had landed. "You actually meant that?" he said with a pained groan.

"What do you think?" I lowered my leg and gave him a cold glare. "Next time, keep your hands-and thoughts-to yourself. Or I won't give you the chance to dodge."

Without waiting for a response, I strode away.

But even as I walked off, something didn't sit right. I could tell Truman hadn't used his full strength. Why was he holding back?

And why hadn't Hera reacted? Normally, she would've lashed out the second she sensed a threat. But when I attacked Truman, she stayed quiet,/strangely calm.

An hour had passed since I returned to my room when I finally heard the door across the hall open.

The moment Hera caught the familiar scent through me, she stirred with excitement. That could only mean one thing-Benjamin was back.noveldrama

I didn't even hesitate. I jumped to my feet and opened the door.

Chapter 753 Benjamin is Back

Just in time to see Benjamin closing his.

I caught a glimpse of his face, though he didn't see me.

He looked exhausted. The weariness was written all over him. I didn't call out.

Instead, I quietly returned to my room, picked up my phone, and sent him a few texts.

"Since you've worked so hard preparing a gift for my Luna ceremony, I'll let you off the hook tonight-you don't have to come say goodnight. You've done enough for today. Take a hot shower and get some rest. Goodnight."

Only after that did I finally settle down and fall asleep.

No matter how unpredictable the day had been, as long as Benjamin was around, I felt safe.

Even so, when we both stepped out of our rooms the next morning at the same time, I couldn't hold back any longer. I rushed forward, threw my arms around his neck, and practically climbed onto him.

"You know what?" I said, half scolding, half pouting. "If you keep coming home this late, someone else might just swoop in and steal me away."

Benjamin looked down at me, his eyes filled with affection and that soft, aching tenderness I'd come to crave. His strong arms tightened around my waist. "Did this mystery man manage to charm you?" he asked in a low, husky voice.

"Of course not," I said proudly, arching a brow. "Though I did nearly make sure he could never bed another woman again."

I burst into laughter, wild and unrestrained.

Benjamin's face twitched into something between a smile and a wince. There was something unreadable in his expression.

I caught the shift right away and leaned in close,, studying his face. "You don't seem happy when I rejected. another man."

Then I teased, "Or maybe next time I should give the guy a little more of a chance?"

"You wouldn't dare," Benjamin growled and pulled me into a fierce kiss.
