Alpha Hayley's Destined Mate by Andrea Townsend

Chapter 541 A Familiar Scent

Hayley’s POV:

I turned to Hera, a sense of confusion clouding my thoughts. “What do you mean?”

This was the first time she had mentioned that Virginia’s scent felt oddly familiar, despite all the times we’d encountered each other before.

Hera, equally puzzled, admitted it was the first time she had detected a werewolf scent on a woman that she could place.

But with Mrs. Laurel and Virginia standing before us in such a distressed state, there wasn’t time for further questions.

I tucked my curiosity away, took a deep breath, and stepped toward Virginia. “Mrs. Virginia, are you alright? Are you hurt?”

Virginia shook her head, still visibly shaken, her eyes wide with lingering fear. “I’m fine. Honestly, don’t worry about me.”

After everything that had happened, I guided them back to my grandparents‘ house in the city.

Benjamin had to leave early for some urgent business, so it was just the four of us.

Grandpa, upon hearing of their ordeal, immediately brewed coffee, a simple gesture of comfort.

“This is just a temporary place for us,” I said as I handed them each a cup. “The coffee might not be the best, but I hope it’ll suffice.”

Grandma offered a soft, apologetic smile, as though she could do more to ease their troubles.

Laurel replied, accepting the coffee. “We’re just thankful
