Desired By Three Alphas; Fated To One

Hailee’s POV

Nathan didn’t even wait a second before he drove off. I turned around, watching his car disappear into the dark. A part of me wished I could run up to him and tell him what I said wasn’t really what I meant. Yes, I have feelings for Callum, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have feelings for him too. I have feelings for Callum just the same way I have feelings for Nathan. I felt terrible and imagined what he would be going through, but at least this is for the best.

Swallowing down my pain, I spun and walked toward Callum, who was leaning against his car. I reached him and stood in front of him, our eyes locking together.

"I noticed the post was taken down," he said quietly.

I nodded. "Someone did it."

Callum’s face tightened with guilt. "Nathan?" he asked, and I could hear the pain and frustration buried in his voice.

I didn’t respond to that. Callum let out a breath and looked at me carefully, worry etched on his face. "How are you?" he asked, sounding genuinely concerned.

"I don’t know."

He stepped closer and reached for my hand, but I stepped back. "You should please leave."

Callum froze at my words, his hand still half-raised in the air. His brows pulled together. "Hailee... what’s wrong?"

I shook my head slowly, my voice just a whisper. "I just need to be alone right now."
