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.

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.

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.”
