Alpha Hayley's Destined Mate by Andrea Townsend

“Don’t blame me for signing you up without telling you Professor Cain said with a warm smile. “Now, go

on stage. You’ve truly earned this award.”

Under the encouragement of everyone around me, I had no choice but to lift the hem of my dress and make my way to the stage.

The audience watched intently with admiration and envy as they focused on me.

This award had only ever been given to men for the past hundred years.

I was the first woman in a century to receive this honor.

Even I hadn’t expected my research achievements to win me such a prestigious award.

Third–person POV:

Daniel stood casually in the audience while fixing his gaze on Hayley as if nothing else in the room existed.

His champagne glass was tilted precariously, almost spilling, yet he didn’t seem to notice. It was as if his soul had been stolen.

Kirsty standing beside him clenched her teeth in frustration as she noticed the way he gazed at Hayley with such infatuation.

She’s just an Omega. No matter how beautiful she looks, she can’t hide the lowly aura of a lower–class wolf.

I don’t understand what men see in her.

Then, she glared at Hayley furiously on stage as her hands clenched into fists.

Tonight, Kirsty had been the only female among the top ten winners–a position she had thought would. make her stand out as the brightest star.
