Chapter 511 Cannot ept Her
"Ah!" Odessa disregarded her own injuries and threw herself into Benjamin''s arms, sobbing uncontrobly.
"Ben, my son! How could you do this? How could you hurt yourself?
"You''re the Alpha of the Midnight Pack. If anything happens to you, what will be of our people?"
Benjamin, clutching his wound, had veins bulging on his face, his eyes bloodshot and filled with agony.
Yet, through gritted teeth, he managed to speak. "I feel like Hayley is my destined mate. Without her, I don''t want to live. Mom, can''t you ept her?"
Odessa cried harder, tears and snot streaming down her face. She was reluctant, but seeing Benjamin so desperate, she finally gave in.
"Fine, I ept. I agree to your rtionship. Is that what you want? Just don''t say anything more. I''ll make sure you live!"
She turned to shout for help. "Doctor! Doctor!"
Benjamin was her most outstanding child, the Alpha of the Midnight Pack. If anything happened to him, it would feel like half her life was taken away.
However, Benjamin''s strong voice rang out.
"No need."
Odessa''s sobs halted abruptly as she looked down at him in shock. The weak and agonized Benjamin now wore apletely normal expression.
He rose from her arms, revealing the small knife he had used earlier. Slowly, he gripped the de, watching as the tip retracted and ttened.
It was a prop-a spring knife with no killing power.
The blood on his body? That had been prepared by a professional before he returned.
Odessa stared at him, stunned, for a full half-minute before realization struck. "You lied to me?"
Her face turned red with fury. "How dare you deceive me like this!"
Benjamin''s expression remained nk as he casually tossed the knife into the
corner.
"This might be fake-or maybe it''s not," he said calmly. But in any case, you''ve already given me your word. You''ve agreed to ept Hayley as my Luna." Odessa opened her mouth, about to argue, but Benjamin cut her off.
"I hope you understand," he said firmly. "What Just happened wasn''t just a show. I wouldn''t necessarily die in front of you, but I certainly wouldn''t survive if Hayley and I were ever truly apart
Before Odessa could react, he turned and left.

Hayley''s POV:
It had been a long time since I had returned to Shadow Pack, and everything felt both familiar andforting.
Yet, the thought of not knowing when I would see Benjamin again cast a shadow over my heart.
Grandpa poured me a ss of wine, his voice heavy with concern. "Hayley, forget about him. With a mother like Odessa, if you marry into their family, she''ll make your life miserable."
"Benjamin might be the Alpha of the Midnight Pack, but Odessa is still his mother," he continued. "He won''t turn his back on her for you."
Grandma nodded in agreement. "Your grandpa''s right. Don''t forget-you''re the Alpha of the Shadow Pack. How could we stand by and let Odessa make trouble for you?"
I did not want them to worry, so I forced a smile. "Don''t worry, I''m not thinking about him. It''s just been a while since I''ve been back, and I''m feeling a bit off."
Pushing my chair back, I stood. "I''m full. You two take your time eating. I''ll join you for a walkter."
With that, I let Hera take control, releasing my emotions as I ran wildly through the forest near the manor,
When I had vented enough, I shifted back and wandered aimlessly through the streets.
Then Hera stirred, her excitement palpable. She had caught a familiar scent, and my heart began to race.
Scanning my surroundings, I stopped when my eyesnded on a shop window at the corner of the street.
Through the ss, I saw him-Benjamin.
