Desired By Three Alphas; Fated To One novel Chapter 49

Chapter 49: Unexpected Visitor

Hailee’s POV

I frowned at him. Why was he here? He was the last person I wanted to see right now. Honestly, if I had the strength, I would’ve told him to turn around and go right back to wherever the hell he came from. But I knew he wouldn’t.

So I didn’t bother. Instead, I inhaled deeply, turned away, and walked up the stairs toward my room. Of course, I heard his footsteps following right behind me. He was always like this—persistent, annoying, and way too involved in things that didn’t concern him.

I pushed open the door to my room and went straight to my bed. I sat down heavily, not even bothering to change clothes. My limbs were heavy. My heart heavier.

He stood in front of me, arms crossed like some soldier waiting to scold me. I didn’t look at him.

"What is it?" I muttered, my voice low and flat.

He didn’t answer immediately. But when he did, his tone was sharp. "They’re angry."

I scoffed and rolled my eyes. "Tell them I don’t care. And it doesn’t concern them."

That made him frown. "Of course it concerns them."

I raised my eyes to his, anger starting to build in my chest. "What I do with my life—is none of their business."

He opened his mouth, but I didn’t let him speak.

"They made a declaration. They made a choice. Did they forget that part?" My voice cracked, but I held steady. "I’m sticking to my side. They should stick to theirs."

He sighed and dropped his arms, then walked around to sit beside me on the bed.

There was a pause before he said quietly, "I heard rumors."

I didn’t answer.

"That you’re seeing three boys."

Still, I said nothing.

He looked at me, exasperated. "You know you’re not supposed to be in a relationship right now. You know now is not the time."

I turned to him slowly; my frown deepened "I’ll live my life the way I want," I said firmly.

And I meant it. I didn’t care what they wanted, what they planned, or what they expected. I wasn’t their little doll anymore.

He sighed. "You haven’t been answering their calls. Or responding to their letters."

I looked away, my jaw clenched. "Because I have nothing to discuss with them."

"Don’t say that... they care about you."

"No," I cut in coldly. "They made their choice. I’m just following through on mine."

He let out a long, tired breath. "Your attitude toward them... it’s starting to make them take it out on Violet."

That made me turn sharply toward him.

"What?"

"They’re angry," he said, his voice lower now. "They’re yelling at her, all because of you."

I stared at him, stunned. No wonder mother looked the way she was when I walked in.

"My mother has nothing to do with this," I said in disbelief.

"I know that. You know that. But they don’t care. They’re frustrated, and they’re blaming her for your attitude."

A fresh wave of guilt clawed at my chest, but I shoved it back down.

He nodded as he ended the call. "Tonight." _{f\r(e)ewe.b no\vel.com}
