Callum's POV
"Are the flowers in the room?" I asked my Beta, my voice sharp.
"Yes, Alpha," he answered quickly. "Fresh lilies, just as you ordered."
I gave a small nod but didn't stop pacing. My chest was tight, my wolf restless. This wasn't just any visit. Hailee was coming here—Hailee, with her boys. For the first time, she would step inside my pack house. I wanted everything flawless.
"What about the sheets?" I pressed, my tone low. "The curtains? Did the maids put the soft linen, not the stiff ones?"
"They did, Alpha," my Beta replied, his head bowed. "Everything was changed this morning."
"And the boys?" I demanded. "Did you prepare their room as well? Did you make sure there are toys, books, something to make them feel welcome? They are not guests. They are her sons. They must feel safe."
My Beta nodded again, though he was smiling. "Yes, Alpha. We placed books, games, even small swords for training. Everything is set."
