Alpha Hayley's Destined Mate by Andrea Townsend

Chapter 601 Inherited the Title of Alpha at a Young Age

Hayley’s POV:

I had always been the one left behind. It was inevitable.

“People are always different,” Benjamin said, noticing the melancholy in my voice. He tried to comfort me, though I wasn’t sure I could be comforted.

Hera, sensing my emotions, began to calm down and seemed a bit more at ease.
