Alpha Hayley's Destined Mate novel Chapter 71

Chapter 71 Vigilance 

Hayley’s POV: 

I never expected Benjamin to be so vigilant, diligently tracking my IP address. 

Was he suspicious and wanted to uncover my true identity? 

To ease his concerns, I reluctantly shared one of my usual IPs with him.

“Don’t doubt my intentions; if I had ill intention, your company network would have been down long ago.” I continued to converse with him under my false identity, speaking with sincerity. 

“Alright, I’ll send you the documents shortly. Let’s have a pleasant collaboration.” Benjamin finally agreed to assign me the translation work. 

Before long, I received several documents and wasted no time diving into the translations. 

Just as I completed the last bit of content, the door to the break room swung open unexpectedly. 

Benjamin’s sharp eyes locked onto my computer screen. 

Thankfully, my reflexes kicked in just in time, and I switched the page to a popular drama before he could notice. 

This was all thanks to Hera; she had caught his scent before he entered. Her strong reaction alerted me to his presence. 

“Let’s go grab a bite.” He invited. 

Feigning disinterest, I closed the screen displaying the drama and shut my laptop. “Finally done? I’ve been starving!” 

“What are you craving?” Benjamin asked. I thought for a moment and replied, “Let’s go for street food; I’m craving tacos.” 

At the mention of street food, Benjamin frowned slightly. “Can’t you choose a proper restaurant?” 

I shook my head, smiling. “I just love street food.” 

With a resigned nod, he relented, “Alright, let’s get those then.” 

His willingness to accommodate made me happy. After all, he was an assertive alpha, yet in my presence, he seemed to shed that overwhelming dominance. 

My heart began to race when this handsome, commanding man looked at me tenderly. 

“Haha! Get closer to him! He’s our destined mate, and he’s being so gentle with you. He must be drawn to you!” Hera kept urging me on. 

Could it be that he was really attracted to me? Could it be that he was drawn to me simply because he was the mate that the moon goddess had arranged for me? 

Should I release my scent again for him?

Would his wolf recognize that I’m his destined mate?

My thoughts spiraled into confusion when Benjamin’s voice snapped me back to reality. “Let’s go, he urged. 

I led Benjamin to my favorite food stall since joining the Midnight Pack. “Boss, I’ll have one taco–oh, wait, make that two.” The familiar aroma lifted my spirits. I decided to treat Benjamin to a taco as well.
