Alpha Hayley's Destined Mate novel Chapter 114

Chapter 114 Planning to Leave 

Hayley’s POV:

Irving stepped aside, picked up a bouquet of roses, and kneeled on one knee before me. “Hayley, I’m in love with you! I know this might seeni sudden, but I can’t hold back my feelings any longer. Today, I had to tell you–will you be my mate?” 

I blinked, half–expecting I was 

things, but everything felt undeniably real. 

I looked at Irving, feeling nothing in my heart, and pressed my lips together. “Are you joking with me? Instead of following the Moon Goddess’s guidance to find your destined mate, you’re casually choosing me as your mate?” 

Irving’s expression was sincere, as if he feared I would 

believe him. “Hayley, I’m serious. I’m into you. After all these years, my wolf has never sensed my destined male, and I don’t want to wait any longer. I’ve fallen for you and want to choose you as my mate. Will you?” 

“I’m 

but I think you’ve misunderstood something I have other things to do, so I’ll be going now.” I rose to leave without hesitation. 

But Irving stepped in my way, gently holding my wrist Hayley, my feelings for you are real. I don’t care that you’re an Omega. Please don’t reject me 

I instinctively pulled my arm back. Tm sorry, but this feels too sudden. I don’t have any romantic feelings for you. Besides, while you may not have a destined mate, I do, and I plan to be with mine. So, my apologies.” 

Then, I pushed him aside firmly and strode out the door. 

Afraid Irving might come after me, I took the risk of exposing my Alpha identity, quickly summoning Hera. In an instant, I shifted into my wolf form and slipped away. 

My god, that was intense! What was that all about? Irving’s behavior was so strange. 

Even though he was the only one among the Southwell brothers who had seen my true face, I doubt that alone would make him fall in love with me. 

He said he was into me, but I didn’t feel any genuine affection from him. 

So, what was he really up to? 

Upon returning to the Southwells‘ house, I encountered Benjamin in the first–floor lobby. He looked at me and asked, “What’s going on? You look like you’re in a daze.” 

I shook my head. “It’s nothing 

Benjamin’s keen gaze suggested he didn’t quite believe me, but he didn’t push for more details. We each 

went to our own rooms. 

I locked the door and let out a deep breath. Although I rejected Irving tonight, the reality of living under the same roof in the future made me uneasy. It would definitely be awkward. 

Feeling a bit helpless, I had just settled into my chair when I received a message from Benjamin: “Ms.

Seeing his message made ine wonder. Benjamin usually came home late due to his work commitments, so his carly return today was surprising. Could it be that he was here to study the Mornant language? 

Thinking about that possibility made me smile slightly I replied. “I’m here. Let’s get started in five 

minutes.” 

After sending the message, I quickly grabbed the textbook I had prepared on the basics of Mornant language. Once I was ready, I began the lesson for Benjamin.
