Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 207: Gabriel’s Home

Olivia’s POV

The drive to Gabriel’s home was tense. My fingers tapped restlessly on my lap as doubt crept into my mind. Was I really doing the right thing? A part of me wanted to tell the driver to stop so I could jump out and run. But I shook the thought away. Gabriel seemed like a kind man. And besides, I wouldn’t be staying long—just a week at most.

I glanced down at the bracelet around my wrist and swallowed hard. It had been thoughtful of them to give it to me. And somehow, it made me wonder if I’d ever see them again. How strange life was. Those men were my entire world growing up. I couldn’t imagine life without them. And yet here I was... leaving them behind.

The loud sound of the gate opening pulled me from my thoughts. I looked ahead as the car drove into the compound. I had been here once before, so the place wasn’t new, but what surprised me was the scene waiting for me.

Alpha Gabriel was standing by the entrance, smiling proudly like he had been waiting for me all day. Beside him stood several house staff in neat uniforms, lined up as if they were welcoming someone important.

My stomach flipped.

The car came to a stop, and one of the guards opened the door for me. I stepped out slowly, steadying my breath. The moment my feet touched the ground, Gabriel’s eyes met mine. He flashed a wide, genuine smile that crinkled the corners of his eyes. I couldn’t help but smile back.

He walked toward me and pulled me into a warm hug. His embrace was kind and reassuring... but it didn’t make me feel the way the triplets’ arms did. It wasn’t the same kind of comfort or protection—but it was still nice.

"You’re finally here," Gabriel said, sounding truly happy.

I returned the hug, and when we pulled apart, he kissed my forehead gently. "You being here is a dream come true," he said sincerely.

For a brief second, the tension in my chest loosened. Maybe... just maybe, this won’t be so bad after all.

But just as I started to feel a little more at ease, I noticed movement by the entrance of the mansion. Someone was being wheeled out through the doorway.

My eyes locked on the figure.

A young lady.
