Chapter 39 Bite Through Your Neck
Hayley’s POV:
“Hayley, what did Ms. Anne want with you?”
I raised an eyebrow and gave her a cold look. “What’s it to you?

Rachel wouldn’t let it go. “Hayley, just because Ms. Anne treats you a little nicer, don’t go thinking you’re all that. You’d better tell me what she said to you, or else I turn into a wolf right here and bite through your neck.”
I scolled at her threat, tossed a “Do what you want,” over my shoulder, and walked right past her.
I seriously doubted she had the guts to shift into a wolf and cause trouble in front of the teacher’s office.
And sure enough, after I left, she didn’t follow me.
That afternoon after school, Henry was the one driving me home. Normally, he couldn’t resist throwing a few sarcastic jabs my way whenever we were together, but today, for once, he didn’t say a word. He just there quietly.
When we got home, George lit up the moment he saw me and started praising me with a big smile on his face. “Hayley, congratulations on winning the International Tennis Open! I was out of the country during your matches, and I’m really sorry I couldn’t be there in person to cheer you on for the finals. You were amazing. Here, this is for you.” With that, he pulled our à black Transway Bank card from his pocket.
“Grandpa, what are you doing?” Before I could say anything, Henry interrupted, sounding annoyed.
“Hayz, take it!” George ignored him and pushed the card into my hand.
“This is your reward. I’m getting old, and I don’t really know what you young folks like these days, so if need anything, just use this to buy it yourself.”
I stared at the black card, fully aware of what it meant. Grandpa, I can’t take this. It’s way too much.”

“Nonsense, don’t talk about what’s too much‘ or ‘not enough. The only thing I know is my Hayz deserves the best
“Grandpa…”
“Alright, Hayz! You should be happy about winning the championship. I’ve already arranged for a celebration party. Everyone’s going to get together and have a good time. Also, Hayz, feel free to invite your friends over so they can help celebrate with you.”
I really couldn’t refuse him, so I accepted it, but I made a silent promise to myself: Grandpa has been so good to me. As the Alpha of the Shadow Pack, whether or not I end up marrying the Southwells heir, I’m definitely going to protect the alliance between our two packs.
As I was thinking that, I caught a glimpse of Henry out of the corner of my eye. His face was twisted with jealousy as he stared at his phone, texting someone–probably complaining about me.

I saw the message Henry sent, griping about George giving Hayley the black card as a reward. So, she’s at tennis champion now, huh? She’s gotten pretty famous.
It seems like this Omega is fitting into our Midnight Park better and better. But the more I watch her, the more I feel like she’s hiding a lot of secrets. She’s definitely not as simple as she looks.
Still, right now, I’ve got bigger things to focus on. I don’t have the time or energy to worry about her..
“Alpha, we’ve investigated, but for some reason, we couldn’t find a single trace of anything. Plus, the road surveillance footage from that day was wiped clean. Clearly, someone tampered with it. Looks like they don’t want us finding anything, my Beta, Tyrone, reported as he stepped into my office.

“We also looked into Thomas, but he’s not saying a word. And given the agreement we made, we can’t make any further contact with him. We haven’t been able to get any useful info from that side either.” After finishing his report, Tyrone respectfully asked, “Alpha, should we keep investigating?”
My mind flashed back to that day, the scenes from the race replaying over and over. If it hadn’t been for the accident, I might have been able to confirm if she was the one I’ve been searching for Sara.
But now, all the leads were
e cut off.
“How’s the investigation into the wolfsbane and the brakes coming along?” I asked.
At the mention of it, his expression darkened. “We’ve tracked it down. The culprit was a Rogue, but he’s got no fixed residence and has completely vanished. I’ve already sent people to investigate the pack he was born into. We should have results soon.”
“Good. When you find him, don’t spook him. I want to catch whoever’s behind this. And as for Sara… put that on hold for now. If she doesn’t want to be found, why should I keep pushing? If we’re truly meant to be, we’ll meet again.”
“Yes, Alpha.”
Tyrone bowed and quietly left. Now, I was alone in the huge office.
I stared out at the busy night cityscape, but a part of me still felt empty inside. I didn’t know how much time passed before I finally turned my gaze away from the window, grabbed my car keys, and headed. out… to a certain place.
