Alpha Hayley’s Destined Mate 

Chapter 562 Got Time to Talk? 

Hayley’s POV: 

Did he notice something?! 

I panicked for a moment, quickly taking a deep breath and forcing myself to stay calm. 

When I saw he didn’t press further, I turned my head away and didn’t say anything more.

After Odessa left the police station, she was completely distracted. 

Her thoughts kept drifting back to the words Benjamin and Hayley had said when they left. 

Axel called her name, but she didn’t respond. 

“What’s going on with you? There’s something off with you since you came back this afternoon,” Axel said, setting down his wine glass and deciding to have a serious talk with her. 

“It’s nothing,” Odessa replied absentmindedly. 

Ever since George forced him out of the Midnight Pack’s alpha position after his wolf was severely injured, he had lost all motivation 

He didn’t even bother with the family affairs anymore. Talking to him about it felt pointless. 

Axel wanted to say something, but Odessa’s phone rang before he could. 

She didn’t even glance at it, just answered and held it to her ear. “Who’s this?” 

“It’s me, Mrs. Southwell. Do you have time to talk?” 

When Odessa heard Tina’s voice, she glanced at Axel, and then stood up and walked to the balcony with the phone. 

After closing the glass door, Odessa raised her voice. “If you have something to say, just say it.” 

“Well then, I’ll get straight to the point. You must know about my son and Hayley by now, so you probably understand why I’m reaching out to you.” 

Tina’s tone was calm, without a hint of pleading. 

She had always been treated like royalty, holding her head high and never learning to humble herself. 

Odessa didn’t mind that, but when it came to Hayley and Benjamin, she honestly didn’t know how to respond. 

Seeing that Odessa didn’t reply right away, Tina continued on her own. “Young people are proud and hot- headed, a little conflict is normal, but you can’t only focus on what’s right in front of you. 

“The Ortegas and the Southwells are influential families. For the good of your Midnight Pack, you can’t afford to cut ties with our family. Don’t you agree?”

let alone Hayley.

“Mrs. Southwell!” Tina noticed Odessa’s tone soften, and her attitude immediately became more forceful. 

“Jonah and Daniel will eventually take responsibility for the future of the Ortega family. If anything happens to them, I can’t guarantee that the rest of the family won’t take drastic measures. 

“And if your Midnight Pack’s safety gets dragged into this, it’ll be beyond our control!” 

Odessa fell silent, fully aware that while the Ortegas were also werewolves, they had witch blood in their ancestry, and were capable of any cruel tactics. 

If they were pushed too far, it would definitely threaten the safety of the Midnight Pack. 

It’s better to have one more friend than one more enemy. 

After a brief silence, Odessa seemed to make up her mind. She spoke into the phone, “I’ll give it a try, but I can’t make any promises. And don’t think it’s because the Southwells are afraid of the Ortegas–this is me, Odessa, doing you a favor!” 

Then, she hung up the phone with a sharp snap. 

She was the sole mistress of the Southwells, and no one intimidated her like that. 

Although she was angry, she opened her contacts and dialed a number with a grey profile picture. 

The phone connected right away. Skipping the pleasantries, she went straight to the point, asking, “Where is he now?” 

Hayley’s POV: 

Benjamin and I made a quick trip to the supermarket, bought a bunch of groceries, and after dropping me off at my door, he went back to work. 

While I was cooking, Virginia came in to help. 

But she was used to a life of luxury, and even if she wasn’t feeling great, she was always attended to by servants, so all she could do was wash the vegetables. 

She always smiled at me, her demeanor kind and warm, and she loved chatting with me. 

“Ms. Carson, you’re truly rare–so talented, kind, and smart. Your cooking skills are impressive, too. You’re not any less than those top alphas.”
