Alpha Hayley's Destined Mate

Chapter 755 Time to Settle the Score

Hayley's POV:

+8 Pearls

Benjamin immediately picked up on my change in expression. "What are you thinking about?" he asked.

"Nothing much," I replied coolly, narrowing my eyes. "Just remembering that Freya still owes me a debt.noveldrama

He chuckled. "Sounds like she's in for it."

I smiled faintly but didn't deny it.

If Freya could plot to kill someone over a gemstone, then I had no reason to play fair. I'd just do the same- take her gem right from under her nose.

As for killing her ... well, if Hera couldn't be unleashed in public, then maybe Freya could live-just a little longer.

Stay alive, Freya. My brother will want to settle this with you himself once he wakes up.

After breakfast, I made a call.

The line connected quickly. "Well, if it isn't Miss Hayley herself," came the familiar teasing voice on the other end. "The pig must have flown."

"Cut it out," I said seriously. "I'm calling to bring you some business."

"No thanks," he sighed. "I've turned over a new leaf. I don't do sneaky stuff anymore. My mom's been sick, and I'm trying to do some good for once-earn some karma."

I raised a brow. "Oh! Didn't you once swear to be the Superwolf? No longer interested in being a modern- day Robin Hood?"

He paused. I knew I had him.

I pressed on. "Saving a life could earn you points with both God and the Moon Goddess. Isn't that way faster than waiting for karma to catch up?"

"Just promise me the target deserves it," he said finally, sounding like he was bracing himself for trouble.

"I promise," I said, my voice solemn. "And I won't lie to you-this person has tried to kill my family more than once. I have to make them pay. I also can't use my own people for this, so you can think of it as a personal grudge. But I won't force you."

"What?! Someone tried to kill your family?" His voice shot up. "Who has the guts to do that? Wait-are you still keeping your Alpha status a secret? You should've said so earlier! Of course I'll help you! Want me to leave them half-dead? Or take out their wolf and turn them into a waste?"

I was both touched and equally speechless. "No need to go that far. I'm not that ruthless. Jus Then I laid out the plan in detail.

this...

Later that night.

Freya tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.

Chapter 755 Time to Settle the Score

The thought of Hayley stealing the spotlight these past few days made her chest ache with fury.

She rolled over, then paused. There were faint sounds coming from the living room.

"Who's there?" She called out, pushing herself up and glancing toward the suite's sitting area.

The moment the words left her mouth, the lights flickered and went out.

"Who is it?!" she snapped, her voice tense with warning. She reached for her phone on the nightstand.

Someone had definitely broken in. Her wolf could already smell the unfamiliar scent in the air.

She quickly dialed the hotel's front desk for help-

Just as a voice from the shadows spoke up.

"Ms. Sander, the mission's done."

A man turned on a flashlight, illuminating part of the room.

He was standing near the coat closet by the front door, his hand resting on a silver lockbox. "The raw gemstones are inside," he said. "Problem is, I couldn't get the combination. And I didn't want to damage the gems by forcing it open, so I brought the whole thing over."

"How's Hayley?" Freya asked, not suspecting a thing.

"That pretty little thing?" he said casually. “Last I saw, they were wheeling her into the ER. I'd be surprised if she's still stronger than an Omega after tonight.

He continued regrettably, "I would've finished her off completely, but Alpha

Benjamin showed up out of nowhere. Ruined the whole plan."

Freya's eyes lit up with satisfaction. "Good work. Leave the box. I'll wire you the money tomorrow."

"That won't work for me, Ms. Sander," the man said with a smirk. "Cash or check only."

He tightened his grip on the case handle and added with a pointed tone, "No offense, but what's in this box probably costs a lot more than what you're paying me. If I don't get the money tonight, I might just take these gems to someone else who's willing to pay a better price."
