Desired By Three Alphas; Fated To One novel Chapter 191

Chapter 191: Bringing Her

Callum’s POV

"Are the flowers in the room?" I asked my Beta, my voice sharp.

"Yes, Alpha," he answered quickly. "Fresh lilies, just as you ordered."

I gave a small nod but didn’t stop pacing. My chest was tight, my wolf restless. This wasn’t just any visit. Hailee was coming here—Hailee, with her boys. For the first time, she would step inside my pack house. I wanted everything flawless.

"What about the sheets?" I pressed, my tone low. "The curtains? Did the maids put the soft linen, not the stiff ones?"

"They did, Alpha," my Beta replied, his head bowed. "Everything was changed this morning."

"And the boys?" I demanded. "Did you prepare their room as well? Did you make sure there are toys, books, something to make them feel welcome? They are not guests. They are her sons. They must feel safe."

My Beta nodded again, though he was smiling. "Yes, Alpha. We placed books, games, even small swords for training. Everything is set."

Still, it wasn’t enough. My wolf growled in my chest. Perfection. That was all I would accept.

"What about the dining hall?" I asked, turning suddenly. "The food—did the cooks prepare something sweet? Something the boys will remember? I don’t want them sitting there picking at their plates like strangers."

"They prepared honeyed bread, fresh fruit, and roast chicken," he reported.

"Good." I dragged a hand through my hair, forcing myself to breathe. But still, unease burned inside me. I wanted Hailee to see this place not as my house—but as hers.

"Listen carefully," I said at last, my voice low but commanding. "When she walks through those doors, there will be no mistakes. No rough stares. No whispers. Every soldier, every maid, every servant will bow and treat her with respect. She is not a visitor. She is the woman I intend to keep."

My Beta swallowed hard and bowed. "Yes, Alpha. It will be done."

I stood there in the grand hall, staring at the polished floors, the golden light from the chandeliers, the flowers lining the stairs. It was ready. It had to be.

But still my chest burned.

Because no matter how perfect this house was, I knew the only thing that mattered was her heart. And that was the one thing I couldn’t command.

Sucking in a deep breath, I checked my wristwatch. Three o’clock. It was time. Time to pick up Hailee and her boys from Nathan’s home.

I turned to my Beta. "I’m leaving."

"Yes, Alpha," he said with a bow. He quickly signaled to the drivers and escorts waiting outside.

The heavy doors of the packhouse opened, and I stepped out into the bright afternoon sun. My wolf stirred under my skin, restless, eager. The black SUV waited, flanked by two escort vehicles filled with warriors. The moment I slid into the back seat, the engine rumbled to life.

As we pulled away, my chest tightened. I leaned back against the seat, but there was no comfort. Ten years. Ten years since I had last been this close to her. Ten years since I had lost her.

How do I speak to her now?

How do I tell her the words I’ve swallowed all these years?
