Alpha Hayley’s Destined Mate Novel – As the first female Alpha of the Shadow Pack, I knew my marriage path would not follow the typical romantic tale. No waiting Moon Goddess’ signs at eighteen for me. The moment I took on the Alpha mantle, my priorities shifted toward preserving the pack’s legacy, even if it meant sacrificing personal happiness for strategic alliances.
Yet, I refused to simply acquiesce as my parents had, sacrificing their happiness for duty with little to show for it. Instead, one restless evening, I shifted into my wolf form and dashed through the forest, seeking solace in its familiar embrace.
Caught during my restless run, my assistant approached. “Alpha, your grandfather wishes to discuss an urgent matter.” Acknowledging with a swift nod, I phased back to human form and sped across the plains, returning to our grand estate in a blink.
Upon entering his study, Grandpa laid out his plans. “To strengthen our bond with the Midnight Pack, you are to consider marrying one of the Southwells, who lead them.” He then insisted on a prompt engagement. Leaning back, I mulled over his words. After that, I met his gaze with a defiant smirk. “Fine, but on my terms.
“First, the Midnight Pack mustn’t learn of my Alpha status. “Secondly, if no genuine feelings develop within a year, and they show no interest in me, I walk away. I’ll handle my future engagements on my terms, possibly with the Moon Goddess’s guidance as any other werewolf.” “And should that happen, I’ll negotiate alternate terms for our packs’ alliance.” Grandpa pondered deeply but eventually nodded in agreement.
Since losing my parents, he has always shown me great affection. To avoid being prematurely bound by any potential mate’s recognition, I masked my scent before departure.
