Desired By Three Alphas; Fated To One novel Chapter 214

Chapter 214: Awake

Hailee’s POV

When we got back to my bed, I couldn’t calm down. My heart was pounding, my mind running wild with worry. I kept glancing toward the door, wishing I could get up and run to the emergency room.

"I need to be with my boys," I whispered, my voice trembling. "I need to make sure they’re okay."

The nurse who was adjusting my IV turned to me with a gentle smile. "They’re still unconscious, ma’am," she said softly. "But once they wake up, we’ll let you know right away."

She gave me a reassuring nod before leaving the room, quietly closing the door behind her.

The silence that followed was heavy, too heavy. I looked up at Frederick, who stood beside the bed, his hands in his pockets, watching me with that same calm expression he always wore when I was breaking apart inside.

"Frederick," I said, my voice cracking. "You have to help me. They’ll take my sons away. I can’t let that happen."

He shook his head slowly and sat on the edge of the bed. His hand reached up gently, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. "That’s never going to happen," he said softly, his tone steady and firm. "Not while I’m here. Not under my watch."

But his words did little to ease the panic clawing inside me.

I shook my head, tears welling in my eyes. "You don’t understand," I whispered, my throat tight. "They hate me now. Nathan, Callum, Dane... they’ll want revenge. And if they find a way—"

"Hailee," Frederick cut in gently, his voice calm but strong. "Look at me."

I hesitated, then lifted my eyes to meet his.

"You’re their mother," he said quietly. "And no one, not even three Alphas, can take that away from you."

I wanted to believe him. I really did. But the fear wouldn’t leave. It sat heavy in my chest, whispering the same nightmare over and over: What if they do? What if they take them? What if I lose everything?

Frederick reached out and took my trembling hand in his. "Rest for now," he said. "You need your strength. The boys will need you when they wake up."

I swallowed hard, trying to steady my breathing. "I can’t... I just can’t." I turned to Frederick, my eyes filled with regret. "I wish I never left your home... I wish I stayed back."

Frederick flashed me a sad smile before shaking his head. "No, it’s my fault. I pressured you with my feelings, and that’s what made you leave. If I had been able to control my feelings like I did over the years, you wouldn’t have felt suffocated and left. So yeah, it’s my fault, Hailee, not yours."

"Frederick..." I whispered, shaking my head.

He smiled sadly. "Don’t blame yourself. You just wanted to breathe."

Before I could respond, the door opened, and a nurse rushed in, slightly out of breath. "Miss Hailee," she said, her tone full of relief. "Your sons — they’ve woken up."

My heart skipped a beat.

I didn’t wait. I jumped off the bed, ignoring the sting in my arm where the IV had been, and hurried out of the room. The hallway seemed endless as I ran down it, my gown brushing against my legs, my heartbeat echoing in my ears.

When I finally reached the room, I froze in the doorway.

They were all there.

Nathan stood beside Oscar’s bed, his large frame tense but his eyes softer than I’d seen in years. Callum was at Oliver’s side, his hand resting on the boy’s shoulder. Dane was sitting beside Ozzy, his head bowed, one hand gently holding his son’s.

My sons.

My heart ached at the sight — three boys lying in three separate hospital beds, connected to IVs, but awake... alive.

"Mom!" Oscar called the moment he saw me. His little voice cracked with emotion.
