Chapter 427 The Letter
Hayley’s POV:
It was Henry.
When I opened the door, I invited him inside.
Henry gave me a disapproving look. “Boss, you’re finally back. I’ve been waiting forever.”
After saying that, he glanced at Benjamin. “Ben, you’re here too.”
Benjamin gave him a simple nod.
Henry studied both of us for a moment, his frown deepening.
Then he spoke again. “Boss, I can’t shake the feeling that you’re starting to give off the same energy as Ben here. You’re starting to look like an Alpha.”
His comment caught me off guard. I quickly looked at Benjamin, wondering how he would react.
But Benjamin seemed unfazed. His attention was more focused on the envelope Henry was holding.
!
Henry suddenly remembered and handed me the envelope. “Boss, here’s your letter.”
Relieved, I took the envelope and thanked him. “Thanks.”
“Boss, I’ve delivered everything, so I won’t bother you any longer. I’ve got other things to take care of,” Henry said, turning to leave.
Without further delay, he was gone.
Once the door closed behind him, the silence of the room enveloped me. It was just Benjamin and me
now.
I carefully tucked the letter away, then walked over to the couch and hugged him, feeling a wave of sadness. “In September, I’m heading off to Cryving for college. Does that mean we’ll be in a long–distance relationship?”
Benjamin’s eyes tightened slightly as he kissed me gently, his voice tinged with sorrow. “I don’t want to be in a long–distance relationship with you.”
“Neither do I, but it seems like that’s our only option but…” I looked up at him. “I’ll try to finish my courses as quickly as possible, maybe even graduate/early, so we won’t have to be apart.”
Benjamin reached up and softly rubbed my head. “Don’t push yourself too hard for me. And don’t forget, I’ve chosen you as my mate. Even if we’re apart, I’ll always think of you, love you, and stay loyal to you.”
I’ll do the same!” I promised him with certainty.
Hera’s voice echoed in my mind. “You don’t need to worry. The Moon Goddess destined you two as mates. As long as you’ve marked each other, you’ll never truly be apart in this lifetime.”
She teased, “Why not just mate with him now and mark him?”

Benjamin and I stayed in each other’s arms for a long while before I reluctantly pulled away. “It’s getting fate. You should get some rest.”
He looked at me, narrowing his eyes. “So, you’re already planning to send me away?”
I playfully pushed him. “Go on, go! See you tomorrow!
“Hayley, when will get to stay and keep you company? Benjamin’s voice was deep and filled with longing as he gazed at me.
I tried to keep my emotions in check, urging him, “Just go! I’m really tired”
With a soft sigh, Benjamin finally gave in. “Alright, I’ll go. Get some good rest tonight.”
I watched him leave, his gaze still full of desire, and quickly shut the door behind him.
Once I could no longer sense his presence, I leaned against the door, exhaling deeply.
Benjamin’s POV:
I stood outside, staring at the,closed door with a heavy sigh.
The more involved I became with her, the harder it was to control my desire to get intimate with her.
But I knew it wasn’t the right time.
I closed my eyes, pushing all thoughts aside. Slowly, my heart began to settle.
Once back in my room, I called my assistant. “Tyrone, I heard the Cryving branch needs a manager. Can you handle it? I plan on going there next month to take over.”
Tyrone, sounding a bit surprised, stammered on the other end of the line. “Alpha … are you serious?”
I spoke with determination. “Yes. The Midnight Pack’s management is stable now, and I don’t need to stay here all the time.
“There are plenty of business opportunities at the Southwell Group’s branch. I’ll be able to manage things better if I’m there. So, it’s settled.”
Tyrone paused for a moment before replying respectfully. “Understood, Alpha. I’ll take care of it.”
After hanging up, I gazed out the window, watching the night sky. The moon looked especially beautiful Tonight
Hayley seemed like the perfect mate the Moon Goddess had gifted me. I’d do anything for her.
As long as she didn’t lie to me…

I turned over in bed, still half–asleep, and sunlight began pouring through the window, filling the room with warmth.
Stretching, I sat up and got dressed before heading to the bathroom to freshen up.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Without needing to check, I knew it was Benjamin.
Hera urged me to hurry, and I opened the door.
Benjamin stood there, holding a breakfast tray. “Why are you up so early?” I asked
“I made breakfast and brought it to
he said with a smile as he stepped inside.
He placed the tray down and added, “I’ll take you over after we finish breakfast.”
I quickly sat down at the table, across from him, and we began to eat together.
Just then, my phone dinged with a new message.
I checked it and saw that Christine had sent me a picture.
