Alpha Hayley's Destined Mate by Andrea Townsend

Chapter 601 Inherited the Title of Alpha at a Young Age

Hayley’s POV:

For a moment, I was at a loss for words.

“Is she dead?” Steven asked, his voice laced with a hint of curiosity.

“No,” the bodyguard responded. “The bullet didn’t hit her heart. She’s been taken to the hospital, and she’ll survive.”

Benjamin, noticing my unease, raised his hand, signaling for everyone to leave the room.

Once it was quiet, I exhaled softly, muttering under my breath, “A person like her won’t go down so easily.”

In that moment, I couldn’t help but feel a strange sense of envy toward Jonah, despite his many flaws. At least he had a mother who truly cared about him.

As for me, I had inherited the title of Alpha at a young age, surrounded by power and titles, but I had never even met my real parents.

Was that because I wasn’t enough?

Then, I remembered Justin’s words. Despite how much my grandparents cherished me, I was still just their adopted granddaughter, with no blood ties to them. If a day came when they had to choose between Justin and me, I had a sinking feeling I already knew the outcome.

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.
