Desired By Three Alphas; Fated To One novel Chapter 34

Chapter 34: Stay Out Of My Love Life

Nathan’s POV

"Father, what the hell did you say to Hailee?" I asked, not caring that my voice was slightly raised at him.

His brows lifted slightly, probably surprised by my tone.

"I beg your pardon?" he said calmly, but there was a warning edge to his voice.

"I said," I stepped closer, my jaw clenched, "What did you say to her?"

He didn’t answer right away. He just studied me for a moment—too long—and I could feel my blood boiling beneath my skin.

"She was fine just moments ago," I snapped. "You scared her. What did you say?"

He exhaled slowly and exchanged glances with Mother, who seemed confused with what was going on, before facing me directly now.

"I didn’t scare her," he said, his voice level. "I had a conversation with her. That’s all."

"A conversation?" I echoed bitterly. "She looked like she was warned... threatened. You don’t call that scared?"

"I told her the truth," he replied simply. "The truth about how important this phase of your life is. About how crucial it is that you remain focused. Grounded. That emotions—relationships—can be distractions when not handled properly."

I laughed bitterly. "So you warned her off, basically."

"I asked her to be honest—with herself and with you. And from the look on your face, I’m guessing she was."

I clenched my jaw. "You had no right."

"I have every right," he said, firmer now. "I am your father. The Alpha of this pack. And you are my heir. Everything you do now shapes what’s coming. And if you let yourself be ruled by feelings that aren’t returned—"

"They are returned," I cut in. "You think I’d be this angry if they weren’t? You think I’d be this hurt if she didn’t care?" freēwebnovel.com

He didn’t respond.

He didn’t have to.

I could see it in his eyes—the doubt. He doubted Hailee loved me, but I didn’t care.

"I love her," I said quietly, my voice cracking. "And you just went and made her feel like she wasn’t good enough. Like she was a problem."

"That was never my intent."

"Intent or not," I shot back, "you did."

He held my gaze, not bothered by my outburst.

"Hailee may like you as you think, but her heart is torn... she is indecisive, and I can’t let you be in such a situation."

I stared at him, my heart pounding, anger and frustration bubbling inside me.

"What is going on here?" my mother asked, still clearly confused. She stepped forward, glancing between the two of us, clearly unsettled by the rising emotion in the room. "Both of you calm down and explain to me."

I didn’t even look at her. My eyes were still locked on my father’s.

"Please," I said, my voice low but sharp, "tell your husband to stay out of my love life."

"Excuse me?" she blinked, stunned.

But I didn’t wait for a response.

I turned around, my jaw clenched, my chest tight, and stormed out of the room before either of them could stop me.

I needed air.

I needed space.

I needed to not explode.

Because if I stayed one second longer, I’d say something I could never take back. And gods knew... we already had enough damage between us.

Back in my room, I lay on my bed and stared up at the ceiling, trying to calm down. But all I could think about was Hailee—her face when I found her, the way she looked so scared and troubled after talking to my father.

He did that.

And I hated him for it.

"You really like this girl?" my wolf suddenly asked.

I didn’t respond right away.
