    Hayley''s POV:


    "You''ve been exposed."


    "Wait, what are you even talking about?" His voice was filled with confusion.

    "First, you tell me Dominic is in trouble, and now you''re saying he''s why my location waspromised? I swear my brain doesn''t have enough processing power for all this!"


    "Then stop overanalyzing and just run," I ordered. "I''ll send you a secure


    extraction route shortly. Get back here immediately!" I ended the call, my thoughts running in a tangled mess.


    Dominic is a top executive in the SI Organization and one of its most respected and trusted figures. His security clearance was top-tier.


    To say he waspromised and had leaked our members'' locations-sounded utterly absurd.


    But reality was staring us in the face.


    All I could do now was minimize the damage and salvage what I could. Whether the others believed it or not was up to them.


    "Do you have aputer?" I turned to Benjamin.


    "In my room," he said casually.


    "Let me use it." Without waiting for a response, I headed straight for his room.


    Several hostile forces had already locked onto udio''s location, as I suspected. The closest one was only about 300 feet away.


    Which meant he was seconds away from being caught.


    I immediately got to work,unching a counterattack on their tracking system. After sessfully disabling it, I quickly masked udio''s signal.


    Gradually, the indicators representing him and his pursuers began to move apart.


    Five minutester, my phone rang.


    "Shit! Boss, are you serious?!


    "I was this close to getting caught! Who the hell hacked into our system?" udio cursed in frustration.


    "No idea yet."


    Keeping my voice steady, I instructed, "The longer you stay out there, the more danger you''re in. I''m sending a helicopter to pick you up. Once you reach the airport, board the private jet back home."


    "Got it. As long as you get me back safely with these meds, I don''t care-hell, I''ll be your damnpdog if I have to!" udioughed.


    I hung up without another word.


    Chapter 651 Racing Against Time


    Benjamin''s POV:


    My wolf, Lawrence, could sense Hayley''s anxiety.


    So I waited outside for a while, giving her space to finish her call before stepping


    in to check on her.


    I wanted to see if she needed my help.


    But when I got close, it was as if I didn''t even exist.


    She waspletely absorbed in theputer screen, treating me like thin air.


    A strange, suffocating ache settled in my chest.


    Being ignored like this... made me regret ever bringing that item back.

    "That guy-he''s your friend?" I couldn''t hold back the question, seizing a moment when she paused her typing.


    "Mm." Hayley''s response was indifferent.


    "You''re close?"


    "Yeah, pretty close," she said after a brief hesitation. "He saved my life."


    "Oh?" I forced myself to remain calm.


    I was starting to understand just how important this man was to her.


    I studied her face, waiting for her to borate on their rtionship.


    But all she said was, "I don''t want to talk about the past."


    Then, with a chillingly neutral tone, she added, "This man-I have to protect him. No matter what. It will be dangerous, and I''ll be making enemies in the process.


    "I don''t want to drag you into this. So are you moving out, or should I take him somewhere else?"


    A sharp pain struck my heart once again.


    Did she not see me as her mate at all?


    I took a deep breath, gazing at her with helpless frustration.


    Was this guy really just someone who saved her life?


    Or was he more than that?


    Because right now, in Hayley''s eyes, he seemed to matter more than I did.


    "Is that all you have to say?" I asked, my voice tinged with quiet hope.
