Alpha Hayley’s Destined Mate
Chapter 649 His Embrace
Hayley’s POV:
As I inhaled his scent, I couldn’t help but swallow.
Damn it! Hera’s instincts to mate with him had stirred again!
Just as I was about to speak, his deep, sultry voice echoed above me.
“Yes, I’m jealous of everyone around you. I wish you were mine alone.”
A warm sensation wrapped around my heart, melting me completely.”

I couldn’t resist his embrace nor say anything passionate in response. All I could do was let him hold me, obediently listening to his heartbeat.
It was a long while before we finally returned to the front hall.
As soon as I entered, I turned to Marie. “Prepare dinner for five tonight.”
“You’re expecting guests?” Benjamin asked.
“Mm, something like that.” I brushed him off casually. “Just do as I said, Marie.”
“Understood, Ms. Carson.” Marie nodded respectfully before heading to the kitchen.
Two hours later, Peter reappeared before us, looking completely rejuvenated.
“I feel like I can take on ten stray wolves alone!” Peter flexed his muscles, cracking his knuckles with a look of eagerness as if he were ready to start a fight.
Virginia stood up, her wolf–like eyes narrowing as she prepared to teach him a lesson. She smacked him on the back in frustration. “Take on ten wolves, huh? Take on ten wolves?!
“You think you can go out there, get yourself beaten half to death again, and then let Hayley heal you? Do you want to wear her out?!”
“Mom! Go easy on me! Stop hitting me!” Peter dodged nimbly, trying to escape.
But Virginia wasn’t letting him off easily, chasing after him relentlessly. Left with no choice, he surrendered. “Alright, alright! I was wrong! I swear I won’t drag Hayley into my mess again. Happy now?”
“Hmph, that’s more like it!” Virginia finally let him go.
After getting scolded, Peter finally quieted down.
Soon, it was time for dinner.
Peter was so hungry that he completely ignored table manners, focusing solely on devouring his food instead of engaging in conversation.
“My dear son, where are your dining manners? Have you forgotten them all?!” Virginia scolded Peter, who was only focused on eating when she finished chatting with my grandparents.

“Sorry, I was just really hungry today.”
“Hahaha, it’s fine, it’s fine,” Bill said with a kind smile.

“No need.” Peter put down his knife and fork, regaining the same elegance and poise as Benjamin.
But I raised an eyebrow at Peter. “Eat up. You burned a lot of energy during my treatment today–you need to replenish your nutrients.
“In a few days, once you’ve fully recovered, you can let your wolf out and resume your combat training.
“Gradually, your strength will multiply, and you’ll be able to defeat Harlan easily.”
Excitement flashed across Peter’s face. “Really?”
I nodded.
He fell silent for a moment before muttering bitterly, “Harlan isn’t even worth a damn compared to your people. Beating him isn’t something to be proud of.”
I chuckled. “Since you know I’m surrounded by strong individuals, you’d better work on strengthening yourself. I won’t always be around to protect you.”
Peter’s expression turned serious, and he nodded solemnly.
After finishing dessert, we were about to leave the dining room when Peter suddenly called out to Benjamin with a playful grin.
“How about a sparring match with my wolf?”
Benjamin turned to me, silently asking for my opinion.
I scoffed at Peter, unimpressed. “You wouldn’t stand a chance against Benjamin. He’s an alpha. Don’t embarrass yourself.”
Peter let out a dejected sigh, then dragged Virginia outside for a walk.
Night fell.
I heard distinct movements coming from Benjamin’s courtyard close to midnight.
This time, I went over directly.
