Hayley’s POV:
I didn’t turn around right away.
The next second, I heard Christopher ask, “Who are you talking about?”
Henry replied excitedly, “Look, it’s Hayley!”

Christopher’s voice was certain as he replied, “You must be seeing things! That’s definitely not Hayley.”
Hearing Christopher’s words, I finally steadied myself, took a breath, and turned around, revealing a completely unfamiliar face.
Henry stared at me in shock. “From the back, I really thought it was her. I didn’t expect it was just someone with a similar build.”
Christopher chuckled, “You’re obsessed, aren’t you? Why are you so concerned about Hayley?”
Henry looked embarrassed, giving Christopher a playful slap. “Come on, don’t tease me. It just looked like her for a second.”
Christopher laughed and then followed Benjamin further inside.
Since there were quite a few of us, we rented two separate private hot spring rooms. I accompanied Amy. while Benjamin went with Henry and Christopher.
Amy undressed, revealing an impeccable figure, and then slipped into the hot spring, sinking in with visible pleasure. She looked over at me and asked, ‘Ms. Selena, aren’t you joining me?”
I shook my head. If I got in, my makeup would probably start to smudge. “No, thank you, Ms. Amy. I’ll just keep you company from here.”
Amy didn’t press me. She soaked in the spring, enjoying herself for a while before she spoke up. “Ms. Selena, would you mind telling me a little about your Mr. Benjamin?”
I could sense that Amy had a strong interest in Benjamin, so I asked casually. “What would you like to know about him, Ms. Amy?”
Amy opened her eyes and looked at me intently, her gaze sharp and bright. “Actually, I did a bit of research before coming. It seems Mr. Benjamin doesn’t have a mate yet.”
“Ms. Amy, you seem quite interested in our Mr. Benjamin.”
Amy smiled, making no effort to hide her intentions. Ilo admire him a lot. But I don’t know him well, so I was hoping you could give me a little insight into his references.”
I offered her a polite smile. You flatter me, Ms. Amy. I’m only an employee, so I wouldn’t dare to speak about my boss’s personal matters. If you don’t need anything else. I’ll step outside. I’ll be back once you’re done with the hot spring.”
With that, I started to leave, but Amy called me back. “Ms. Selena, you seem very reluctant to talk about Mr. Benjamin. But don’t you think it’s a shame to walk away without hearing my full offer?”

I held my composure. “What else do you need, Ms. Amy

Any looked me over from head to toe before finally speaking. “Name your price. Whatever you want, if it’s within my power, I can grant it—and I’ll keep it a secret Your boss will never know about this
conversation.”
1 kept my expression neutral. “Ms. Amy, you’re being quite amusing. I think there’s nothing between us except for work matters. My apologies, Ms. Amy. I’ll be going now.”
Amy’s face turned stormy, and she shot me a glare.
I paid her no mind and, without a moment’s pause, walked right out.
Once I was outside, 1 exhaled deeply, relieved to have shaken off Amy’s presence.
I wandered away from the hot springs, grateful to find a small garden with a gazebo and a swing out front. I made my way over and sat on the swing.
Sitting there, my mind was a tangled mess, filled with thoughts of Benjamin. I wondered if he might actually be interested in Amy–if he might even, despite not seeing her as a Luna, be tempted by her and… mate with her.
Lrocked gently on the swing, my mind racing. Suddenly, out of nowhere, something slithered right towards me, and before I knew it, a scream tore from my throat. “Ahh!”
When I got a good look, my face went pale. “Snake… it’s a snake…
Most wolves–even Omegas–aren’t afraid of snakes. But I, an Alpha, was different. This was one of the few things I feared.
Hera was in her dormant period. I
The reason went back to my childhood, during combat training. W was ambushed by a snake. That cold, slimy touch had repulsed me to my core.
Even though I’d torn the snake in half at the time, the memory had left a lasting scar.
Now, instinctively, I wanted to run, but my legs felt frozen in place.
“Don’t come near me… don’t come near me… help!” I took a few stumbling steps backward, and the snake reared its head towards me. I almost surrendered control to Hera, ready to let her quickly dodge out of the
way.
But that would reveal my true identity.
“Help! Somebody, please!” I shouted as the snake slithered closer. Just as it was about to strike, something startled it, making it recoil in fear.
I turned, and there stood a magnificent wolf with a powerful, commanding presence.
His eyes were sharp as steel, and with just his intense gaze, he scared the snake into retreating.
“Are you alright?” The wolf shifted back into human form–it was Benjamin.
He walked over, concern clear in his expression. Still shaken, I acted on pure instinct and threw myself into his arm5.
