Alpha Hayley's Destined Mate novel Chapter 3

Chapter 3 Coveting Luna's Position

I hesitated, a sense of realization sinking in; this must be Benjamin, the eldest son and Alpha heir of the Midnight Pack. Before I could gather my thoughts, his icy challenge cut through the quiet, "Do you know whose room this is?"

The moonlight barely illuminated the space, revealing that I was not in my own room.

No wonder everything felt off when I woke up.

Had I walked into the wrong room by mistake?

Embarrassment surged through me as I quickly rose from the bed, apologizing, "I'm terribly sorry, I must have walked into the wrong room by mistake."

"Leave now," he commanded, ushering me toward the door with a firm, cold tone that radiated his Alpha presence.

The following morning, still groggy, I descended the stairs to overhear Henry speaking to him, "Ben, that woman is hideous. I heard from the staff she stumbled into your room last night. Were you horrified?"

I grimaced, confirming the man from the night before was indeed Benjamin.

Benjamin stayed quiet, and I could not tell if he had gotten a good look at my actual face last night, which was marked by its refined features and perfectly smooth skin.

Glancing at my reflection in the corridor mirror, I checked the deliberately atrocious makeup I had applied. Satisfied, I proceeded downstairs toward them.

Meeting Benjamin's impassive gaze, I pondered whether he had glimpsed my true face last night.

I openly sized him up, attired in a black suit. His features, refined as if carefully crafted by divine hands, were flawless and impeccable. He radiated a formidable presence, instilling a sense of awe. Clearly, he possessed the qualities necessary to assume the Alpha role.

Seating myself at the breakfast table, I had barely touched my food when he excused himself, "Enjoy your breakfast, I have to head to the company."
