Alpha Hayley's Destined Mate novel Chapter 109

Chapter 109 Merely an Omega 

Hayley’s POV: 

+8 Pearls 

I stood immobilized, taking in the sight of a dozen thugs closing in on us, each one radiating a fierce and threatening energy. 

If Benjamin and I were to reveal our Alpha statuses, we could swiftly shift into our wolf forms and overpower them in mere moments. 

However, I was unwilling to expose my identity in front of Benjamin. 

He also seemed intent on maintaining his cover as an Alpha in this unfamiliar territory, aware that revealing himself would likely draw unwanted attention from the witches and provoke their aggression. 

“It’s them! Get them!” 

As I contemplated my next move, the leader of the thugs shouted his orders. 

Benjamin and I shared a quick, understanding glance, instinctively leaning against each other while our eyes scanned the encroaching threat. 

What do you want?” I called out to them, my voice low and defiant. 

The thief ignored my question and lunged toward me. 

I managed to sidestep just in time, and in that instant, Benjamin delivered a powerful kick to the thug’s midsection, causing him to stagger back several steps. 

Our commotion startled the nearby pedestrians, who began to scatter as if desperate to avoid getting caught up in our confrontation. 

One of the thugs, realizing he had just taken a blow, waved his hand, and four or five others charged at us, 

Benjamin moved with remarkable speed, taking down two of them effortlessly, but more continued to advance. I began to feel anxious. “This isn’t working; we should flee!” 

Benjamin grunted his agreement as he landed a solid punch to another thug’s jaw, 

Blood sprayed from the thug’s mouth as a result of Benjamin’s strike, yet he showed no intention of stopping. The remaining thugs exchanged wary glances, quickly coming to the conclusion that Benjamin would be a formidable opponent, prompting them to charge in from all sides. 

Seeing their coordinated assault, I didn’t hesitate; I aimed a kick at the leader. 

Working together, Benjamin and I managed to overpower the thugs without resorting to our wolf forms, taking them down efficiently. 

Let’s move!” Benjamin commanded, grabbing my arm and leading me away. 

“Quick, pursue them! Don’t let them escape!” the thief shouted as shadows began to close in behind us. 

Benjamin guided me through the crowd, eventually ducking into a narrow alley.

We ran for what felt like an eternity, stopping only when we felt assured that no one was on our heels. 

anymore. 

Frustration surged within me; if I had been able to reveal my identity, I would have gladly surrendered myself to Hera and dispatched them all! Here I was, a proud Alpha, reduced to this humiliating predicament. 

Benjamin’s POV: 

I glanced over my shoulder and saw no one following, releasing a sigh of relief. That was when I realized I was still holding Selena’s hand. 

I instinctively let go and said, “They didn’t catch up; we should be in the clear.” 

Selena looked up at me, her expression filled with admiration. “I didn’t expect you to have such impressive. fighting skills, Mr. Benjamin. 

“We made a solid team. Even without transforming, we handled that group of thugs quite well,” she added, her voice brimming with pride and confidence that I found appealing. 

Lawrence stirred within me, compelling me to truly see the woman standing before me. 

Yet, as I cast her a sideways glance, an absurd realization struck me–she bore a striking resemblance to someone from my memory, reminiscent of another woman entirely. 

“Mr. Benjamin, why are you staring at me like that?” Her question snapped me back to the present. 

I met her gaze, studying her intently. I cautiously asked “Ms. Selena, do you know how to race cars?”
