Desired By Three Alphas; Fated To One novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16: Confession

Nathan’s POV

I drove back home but couldn’t bring myself to get out of the car. I couldn’t understand it, but I was losing my mind, and if I didn’t do something about it soon, I Would go insane.

Without thinking, I shoved the door open and stepped out, but instead of going into the mansion, I walked back to the gate. The guards gave me curious looks, but I ignored them and ran out of the gate.

Still running, I made my way to Hailee’s home. I didn’t even know why I was going to Hailee’s house, or what the hell I planned to say. But I needed to see her. Maybe when I saw her... I’d finally understand this madness in my head, and the words would come.

As I neared her home, I spotted her mother—Mrs. Vivian—standing at the door. I quickly ducked behind the fence, watching as she opened the door and stepped inside.

I was about to head straight to Hailee’s room when my gaze landed on Callum’s car sitting in the driveway.

My heart sank.

What the hell was he doing here?

What had he told her? Had he managed to convince her of something?

Panic set in. For a crazy moment, I thought about barging in—but I held myself back. Her mother was inside. I didn’t want to cause a scene in her presence.

So instead of walking in through the front, I moved to the side of the house, toward her window. It was slightly open. I didn’t think twice. I jumped.

With one smooth movement, I hoisted myself up, pushed the window wider, and climbed into her room, landing silently on the floor. The moment I stepped in, the air changed. Everything smelled like her. My heart pounded harder. I hadn’t even planned what I was going to say. I didn’t know what I was going to say.

So I did the only thing I could. I sat on the edge of her bed and waited.

Minutes passed.

Then I heard Callum’s car engine starting. I moved toward the window and peeked through the curtain.

He’s leaving.

I exhaled slowly, the knot in my chest loosening just a little. My eyes stayed fixed on the driveway until his car disappeared.

Then, soft footsteps echoed down the hallway.

My heartbeat picked up again.

The doorknob turned.

And then the door opened.

She stepped in, her eyes falling on me immediately.

Her body froze at the sight of me sitting calmly on her bed.

Our eyes met.

And for a long second—

Neither of us said a word.

I watched her throat bob as she swallowed nervously. Slowly, she shut the door behind her, but she didn’t move away. Instead, she pressed her back against it, frowning hard at me.

Her eyes narrowed coldly. "Nathan... are you stalking me?"

My chest tightened. I didn’t answer right away.

But my wolf growled softly inside me. "Yes, you are."

I ignored him, rising slowly from the bed.

My legs felt heavy.

Like I was carrying something too big, something I didn’t understand.

I took one small step toward her, but I stopped when I saw her tense.

I didn’t want to scare her.

Hell, I was scared too.

My mouth opened, but no words came out. What the hell was I doing here?

What was I even trying to say?

I dragged a hand through my hair and looked away. "I... I don’t know what’s wrong with me," I mumbled. "I’ve been losing my mind ever since I saw you with Callum."

She didn’t speak.

I forced myself to look back at her.

Her expression was difficult to read.

And that made everything harder.

"I didn’t plan to come here," I said honestly. "I saw Callum with you and... I just—I couldn’t take it."

I paused, letting out a shaky breath.

"I’ve never felt like this before."

She blinked but said nothing.

"I don’t do this," I added, my voice low. "I don’t chase anyone. I don’t believe in feelings. I don’t feel like this for anyone."

Her eyes softened just a little—but she stayed quiet.
