Desired By Three Alphas; Fated To One novel Chapter 182

Chapter 182: Hailee Has Been Found

Callum’s POV

"You must be joking," I growled at the head of my search team. My voice was so sharp it made him flinch.

He bowed his head quickly. "Alpha, it’s true. Miss Hailee has been found. She’s... she’s in Alpha Nathan’s pack as we speak."

My chest burned. My wolf inside me howled loud. Nathan. Of all people — she was with him?

I pushed my chair so hard it fell behind me. "Ten years," I shouted. "Ten years of searching, and now you tell me she’s been with him?"

The man’s hands shook. "We—we don’t know how long, Alpha. Only that she is there."

"She’s mine!" I roared. I began pacing, my claws itching to come out. I remembered the last time I saw her. How she left. How she vanished. I had sworn I would find her one day.

Now Nathan had her.

"Get the car ready," I ordered, my eyes blazing. "We leave now."

The man swallowed. "Should we tell Alpha Nathan first?"

I spun on him, growling. "Don’t you dare. He knew I was searching. And he kept her from me. He thinks he can hide her? He thinks he can keep her?"

My wolf snarled again, matching my anger. "Another thing, Alpha... she returned with triplets."

"What?" My mind went blank, my body stiff.

"Yes, sir..." my head of search team confirmed with a nod.

My teeth gritted. Triplets. My chest grew hot.

I slammed my fist into the wall. The stone cracked. "If those children are mine," I said, my voice shaking with rage, "then I will tear his whole pack apart before I let him take them from me."

I stormed toward the door. My men jumped aside to clear my way.

My convoy of black cars pulled in behind me as I slid into the back seat. The engine roared, and the trees outside rushed past in a blur.

My mind spun in circles. Triplets. Hailee had triplets. Whose kids were they? Nathan’s? Was that why she was with him? Was that why she returned after ten years?

I gritted my teeth. I didn’t care. If those children were his, then fine. Let him have them. But Hailee—she wasn’t his to keep. Not now, not ever.

My wolf stirred, its voice deep and cold inside me. "Callum, what if they’re mates? What if she belongs to him? She’s not yours."

I slammed my palm against the seat, making the driver flinch. "I don’t care!" I barked, my chest rising and falling hard.

The wolf growled back. "You can’t force a bond."

I thought of the nights I’d searched for her, the empty places, the hollow years. Hailee’s face in my memory. I would not let Nathan or anyone else take her away again.

After an hour’s drive, the Full Moon Packhouse came into view. Guards stood ready, the air thick with Nathan’s power. My jaw tightened as I leaned forward.
