Alpha Hayley's Destined Mate by Andrea Townsend

hapter 127 Waiting for You

Benjamin’s POV

Hayley stood up swiftly. Tm sorry, I didn’t mean to fall asleep here.”

I got to my feet and casually said, “It’s okay. Sorry to keep you waiting

Hayley seemed to remember something and handed a bag. “Here, Benjamin. This is the meal Grandpa Southwell had the maid prepare for you. You haven’t had your dinner yet, right? Hurry up and eat.”

I raised an eyebrow. I usually had to work late and cat at the company cafeteria, and my grandpa knew about this. So why had he sent Hayley to deliver food?

It became clear to me almost instantly: my grandpa was intentionally creating an opportunity for me to spend time with Hayley.

In his mind, my Luna could only be Hayley.

This was one of the reasons why I disliked her at first.

I always felt that no one should go against the will of the Moon Goddess, marrying someone who wasn’t their destined mate just for the sake of personal gain.

Now, even though my wolf, Lawrence, hadn’t explicitly confirmed that Hayley was my destined mate, it wasn’t entirely out of the question based on his feelings toward her.

And I found myself increasingly drawn to her.

Yet Lawrence still couldn’t clearly smell her scent.

Hayley held many secrets that I had yet to uncover.

I looked at her, a mix of complicated feelings swirling inside me, though I kept my expression neutral. “I happen to be hungry. Let’s eat together.”

Hayley was also hungry and didn’t hesitate. She took out the lunchbox, arranged the food neatly, and handed me the utensils. We sat across from each other, quietly enjoying our dinner.
