After a long pause, he spoke. “Let’s wait another two years. Once Hayz is married, we can tell her then.
“Even though she’s not our biological granddaughter, we’ve treated her as our own for all these years. Honestly, every time I tell her she’s our son’s daughter. I feel guilty.”
Tears fell from Dorothy’s eyes. “I wish she was truly our son’s child, but it wasn’t meant to be.
“She’s been with us for so long, helping heal the pain of losing him, and she’s managed the Shadow Pack so
well.
“But she has her parents. Will they try to find her? We’ve kept her here all these years–doesn’t that seem unfair to her?”
“I’ve thought about that too,” Bill replied, handing Dorothy a tissue to wipe her tears.
“Hayz has always been smart, with excellent leadership skills, and her wolf is rare and strong. Her biological parents must be from a powerful pack, so they could find her if they wanted. But for some reason, they haven’t.
“Don’t worry, though. She’s the Alpha of our Shadow Pack and will be Luna of the Midnight Pack. Her life is on a good path, so there’s no need to stress. When the time is right, we can tell her the truth.”
Hayley’s POV:
The cold wind hit my face, but I couldn’t feel it.
I stood, staring at Grandpa and Grandma in the night, unable to speak for a while.
I never expected to overhear such a huge secret while I was out for a walk, unable to sleep.
It turned out I wasn’t a true werewolf of the Shadow Pack, nor was I a child of the Carsons.
I wasn’t even Hayley.
Then, who was I?
I covered my mouth to hold back my tears as I quietly turned back and entered the house.
Once inside, I closed the door, sat on the floor, and hugged my knees, crying uncontrollably.
I didn’t understand why I was so upset. Even though I had never known the love of my parents, I was content with the love of Grandpa and Grandma.
Growing up as the Alpha’s heir, I was privileged, respected, and adored by everyone around me. I had always felt so happy in their care.
But now, I found out that everything I knew was a lie.

Chapter 384 Doesn’t That Seem Unfair to Her?
That realization made me even more heartbroken.
I didn’t know how long I stayed there. But soon, I heard a knock on the door.
“Hayz, are you alright?” Grandma’s voice came through full of concern.
My body froze, and I quickly wiped my tears, took a deep breath, and replied, “I’m fine, Grandma.”
My voice cracked, and Grandma immediately noticed something was wrong.
She opened the door and turned on the light. “What’s wrong
Why are you crying?”
Looking at her kind face, I stepped forward, reaching out for a hug. “Grandma…
Grandma patted my back, thinking I had just had a bad dream. “It’s okay. Did you have a nightmare?”
I didn’t say anything, just clung to her.
“It’s okay, sweetie. It was just a dream. We’re here,” she soothed.
I couldn’t stop my tears. I hugged her tightly and asked, “Grandma, will you and Grandpa always be there for me?”
Grandma smiled at my childlike question. “Of course, no matter how old you get, you’ll always be our precious granddaughter.
“We’ll always be with you. Don’t worry and have a good sleep. Everything will be fine tomorrow.”
I pulled away and wiped my face. “Will everything be okay tomorrow?”
“Of course, Hayz. Now get some sleep. Tomorrow, I’ll make your favorite lovary pasta and a brownie cake for you.”
I grinned and raised my hand. “Make it two.”
“Okay.” Grandma indulgently patted my head. “Now, can you go to bed?”
I coquettishly pulled her arm. “No, Grandma. I want to sleep with you tonight.”
“You’re all grown up now and still want to sleep with me?”
“Grandma…”
“Alright, alright. I’ll sleep with you.”
I climbed into bed with Grandma and tried to sleep, but my mind was full of heavy thoughts, and I couldn’t drift off.
Over the next few days, I acted like nothing had changed, spending time with Grandpa and Grandma as
usual.
About a week later, while dealing with pack matters, I got a call from Benjamin.
