Alpha Hayley's Destined Mate by Andrea Townsend

Chapter 428

Chapter 428 I Could Come With You

When I opened the door, I invited him inside.

Henry gave me a disapproving look. “Boss, you’re finally back. I’ve been waiting forever.”

After saying that, he glanced at Benjamin. “Ben, you’re here too.”

Benjamin gave him a simple nod.

Henry studied both of us for a moment, his frown deepening.

Then he spoke again. “Boss, I can’t shake the feeling that you’re starting to give off the same energy as Ben here. You’re starting to look like an Alpha.”

His comment caught me off guard. I quickly looked at Benjamin, wondering how he would react.

But Benjamin seemed unfazed. His attention was more focused on the envelope Henry was holding.

!

Henry suddenly remembered and handed me the envelope. “Boss, here’s your letter.”

Relieved, I took the envelope and thanked him. “Thanks.”

“Boss, I’ve delivered everything, so I won’t bother you any longer. I’ve got other things to take care of,” Henry said, turning to leave.

Without further delay, he was gone.

Once the door closed behind him, the silence of the room enveloped me. It was just Benjamin and me

now.

I carefully tucked the letter away, then walked over to the couch and hugged him, feeling a wave of sadness. “In September, I’m heading off to Cryving for college. Does that mean we’ll be in a long–distance relationship?”

Benjamin’s eyes tightened slightly as he kissed me gently, his voice tinged with sorrow. “I don’t want to be in a long–distance relationship with you.”

“Neither do I, but it seems like that’s our only option but…” I looked up at him. “I’ll try to finish my courses as quickly as possible, maybe even graduate/early, so we won’t have to be apart.”

Benjamin reached up and softly rubbed my head. “Don’t push yourself too hard for me. And don’t forget, I’ve chosen you as my mate. Even if we’re apart, I’ll always think of you, love you, and stay loyal to you.”

I’ll do the same!” I promised him with certainty.

Hera’s voice echoed in my mind. “You don’t need to worry. The Moon Goddess destined you two as mates. As long as you’ve marked each other, you’ll never truly be apart in this lifetime.”

She teased, “Why not just mate with him now and mark him?”
