Hayley’s POV:

When I arrived at the banquet hall, I glanced around, feeling slightly uninterested. Spotting a couch nearby. I decided to sit down for a while.

Soon, Hera seemed restless, drawn by an intriguing scent.

As I looked up, I noticed Benjamin approaching.

He sat beside me with ease and said, “This banquet might run late tonight. If you’re feeling tired, you can head to the cabin to rest.

I nodded. “I know. I’ll go there later.”

Noticing that I hadn’t eaten much, Benjamin stood up and returned with a plate of pastries. “Have some. You shouldn’t go hungry.”

I smiled at him and replied. Thank you.”

Just then, a representative from another pack walked over and greeted Benjamin cheerfully, “Alpha, it’s been a while!”

Benjamin signaled for me to step aside, silently asking me to wait. I gave him a reassuring look and moved away to let them talk privately.
