Alpha Hayley's Destined Mate by Andrea Townsend

Chapter 44 Apologize

Hayley’s POV:

The unexpected guest was none other than Madeline he walked over and, in a fake sweet tone, congratulated me. “Congrats, Hayley, on winning the International Tennis Open”

The moment I caught her scent, my wolf, Hera, immediately grew agitated.

“I don’t like the smell of this woman,” Hera bluntly told inc.

I calmed Hera down and looked up at Madeline, replying politely. “Thanks.”

Madeline smiled and then casually sat down next to me “I think I understand what you’re doing. You might be a member of the Shadow Pack’s ruling family, but at the end of the day, you’re still just an Omega. You’re lucky Grandpa took a liking to you, but let’s be real–you don’t have what it takes to marry our Midnight Pack’s Alpha and become Luna. That’s why you’re desperately trying to win tournaments and become a sports star. It’s your only option, isn’t it?

Her mocking tone didn’t bother me in the slightest. I just found her ridiculous. I wondered what her reaction would be once my true identity was revealed.

Seeing that I didn’t respond, Madeline kept at it. “If I were you, I’d stop wasting my time on tennis to get attention. Why not find a good plastic surgeon instead?” She sneered, her words dripping with malice.

“Madeline,” I said, keeping my voice calm but firm, “what you just said was rude and disrespectful, like someone who didn’t grow up with proper manners. It doesn’t suit your status as a Beta. Do you really believe a pretty face is the best way to open doors? I’m sorry, but our views on life are very different, and don’t see a point in continuing this conversation.”
