Adele entered the alpha's office and saw both of her mates Alpha Chris and Beta Liam, sitting beside each other, holding hands. Both looked at her with a blank expression.
"So the rumors are true?" Adele asked.
"What rumors?" Chris asked back.
"I heard rumors around the pack that you two are getting married. Is it true?"
Chris smiled and looked lovingly at Liam, then he looked back at Adele and said, " Yes, we have waited for it for a long time, and finally, we are planning to get married soon."
Adele's doubts were now confirmed, and she didn't know whether she was happy or sad. She asked her wolf Alexa in her mind, " What do you think about this?"
Alexa replies, " I don't have any problem with them getting married as both of them are my fated soul mates, but what about us?"
Adele nods and asks Chris, "Then what about us?"
"What us?" Chris asked unconcernedly.
"You two are my fated mates. I am even pregnant with your pups now. Don't you think we should also get married?"
Chris scoffed. "Why should we marry you when we don't even love you"?
Liam was just sitting there as if uninterested in the whole thing.
Those words were like a blow to Adele and Alexa's hearts. They knew their mate's behavior seemed weird from the past few days. They were hurt that both of her mates didn't want her.
"We have just recently met. We should spend time together and get to know each other. As we are mates, I am sure we will come to love each other," whispered Adele.
"We will never love you. We didn't even want a mate in the first place," says Chris angrily.
"Then why did you accept me and get me here to your pack? You could have rejected me the moment we met".
"We needed you to give us heirs. You know we can have pups only from fated mates. We got you here to give birth to our pups and raise them. That is the only thing you are meant to do. Do not expect anything more".
Adele was so shocked by these words that she didn't know how to react. She couldn't believe she was being tricked and betrayed by both of her mates. Were all the things she had heard about soulmates loving each other unconditionally false? The tears she was so desperately trying to control started flowing out of her eyes. Alexa's situation was even worse; she felt a severe pain of rejection in her heart, and in her case, it had a double impact as it was rejection from two mates.
