Chapter 122 My Wolf Lawrence’s Reaction
Hayley’s POV:
Finished
I listened intently as the piano music unfolded, its mellies rising and falling between light and somber notes, intertwining two distincious. Driven by curiosity, I followed the sound up to the top floor of
the villa.
As I approached the piano room, the music became clearer. The moment I arrived at the door, Hera began to stir with excitement, and I instantly realized who was inside.
Hera always picked up on him before I did.
I pushed open the slightly open door and immediately spotted a tall figure facing away from me. His long fingers flew over the piano keys, creating a rhythmic melody that filled the room.
“That sounds wonderful!” I complimented, genuinely impressed. However, as soon as I spoke, Benjamin stopped playing, pulling his hands back and looking at me. “What are you doing here so late?”
With a smile, I stepped inside and replied, “I was drawn in by your music.”
Benjamin shrugged it off, saying, “It’s just casual playing; nothing impressive.”
I disagreed. “You must have practiced for many years! You’re at least at an eighth–grade level.”
He raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “You seem to know a bit about music?”
Feeling a bit guilty, I rubbed my nose and replied, I wouldn’t say I know much. I just know a little.”
Benjamin’s interest piqued. “How about we play a duet
I didn’t hesitate at his invitation and responded, “Sure, let’s do it
Benjamin immediately gave me half of his stool, and we sat down next to each other. Four hands were placed on the keys at the same time, and the fingers fell at almost the same time, and a light piano sound rang out
We cooperated very well. Each beat perfectly in sync.
Surprised, Benjamin turned to me. “I didn’t expect you had such talent on the piano.”
I sensed his mastery of the piano. It was as if our souls were connected through the music.
We picked up the pace together and then seamlessly slowed down, our playing perfectly synchronized. When we finished, a genuine smile lit up Benjamin’s face. “Hayley, I underestimated you. Your piano skills are truly impressive.”
I could tell his compliment was sincere.
“You play even better than I do,” I replied. “Your technique is amazing. I can tell you must play this piece
often.””
Aware that I had seen through him, Benjamin showed no signs of embarrassment. “You have quite the sharp eye for detail.”

ment! But it’s getting late, and I should head
Benjamin stopped me. “Playing with you gives me a sense of mutual understanding. Let’s play together again sometime.”
I smiled and replied. “Okay,” Then I turned and walked away.
Benjamin’s POV:
I watched her silhouette fade into the distance before shifting my gaze back to the piano keys. Slowly, I closed my eyes, as the echo of our four hands dancing across the keys lingered in my ears.
No one had ever been able to match my speed until Hayley came along. She was the first to cooperate with me so harmoniously, almost at my level.
From the moment she walked in today, my wolf, Lawrence, reacted more intensely than ever.
I could sense that both Lawrence and I had feelings for her.
But she was just an Omega. Although my grandpa was quite fond of her, I couldn’t shake the thought that, as my Luna, she would need to stand by my side to defend the Midnight Pack. I wasn’t sure if an Omega could shoulder such a heavy responsibility.
Moreover, the most crucial point was that Lawrence still hadn’t confirmed whether she was my destined
mate.
After all, only a destined mate, as arranged by the Moon Goddess, would ensure that our union would produce offspring worthy of inheriting the alpha position.
There were still many secrets about her that I had yet to uncover.
As I opened my eyes, I found myself grappling with a whirlwind of conflicting emotions regarding her.
Hayley’s POV:
As the first rays of sunlight filtered through the window, the alarm clock chimed precisely on schedule. I reluctantly got out of bed, freshened up, and went out, only to bump into Benjamin. “Morning,” he said, greeting me first.
“Good morning.” I responded, returning his smile.
We strolled alongside each other, and Benjamin asked, “Did you sleep well last night?”
I smiled sweetly and said, “I slept pretty well.”
As we made our way down the stairs, I glanced around but didn’t see Henry. “Isn’t he supposed to take me to school today? Where is he?”
Benjamin replied, “He went out drinking with friends last night, so he’s likely still sleeping. I can drive you to school instead.”
I didn’t mind who would take me to school, so I responded with a simple “Sure and made my way to the dining room. I loved a simple breakfast, and after I finished eating, I got into Benjamin’s car.

During the drive, I was deeply engrossed in my homework on the journey when I noticed Benjamin looking at me in the rearview mirror. There was a gentle warmth in his eyes that made my heart flutter.
As I reached the school entrance, I hurriedly collected my belongings and bid him farewell, saying, “I’m heading inside now. You should get to the office tool Goodbye!”
Then, I got out of the car and made my way toward the school gate.
Suddenly, a male voice called out behind me, “Hayley!”
