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 didn't know what to make out of this news. She didn't know whether she was happy or sad as both were her mates. 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?"
"Why should we marry you when we don't even love you"? scoffed Chris. Liam was just sitting there as if uninterested in the whole thing.
Those words were like a blow to Adele and Alexa's heart. They knew their mate's behavior seemed weird from the past few days. Once the doctor had confirmed that she was pregnant, they had started ignoring her. Adele was 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 fierce pain of rejection in her heart and in her case it had a double impact as it was rejection from two mates.
" Don't you feel any connection between us? We are mates for God's sake, we even made love. " Adele asked desperately. She felt so pathetic to be begging in front of her mates.
" I don't feel any sort of connection with you and never will. And what we did was not making love, that was we fucking you just so you could get pregnant with our pubs." Chris said casually as if it didn't matter to him at all. The indifference shown by both Chris and Liam towards Adele was enough proof for her that they didn't care for her, but she still wanted to hold on to some sort of hope that this mate bond will work.
Trying to make another attempt Adele asked Liam " Why are you not saying anything Liam, even we are mates, don't you have to say anything about it?"
Liam just looked at Adele and said " I am not saying anything because I don't feel you are important enough for me to waste my time on".
Adele was shattered after hearing those words. Forget being a mate, they didn't even consider her as a person. The hurt and pain were slowly turning to anger. She had never been so humiliated in her entire life. She left her loving family and pack and came to this pack to be with her mates but what did she get in return? Pain, hurt and betrayal. Her mates didn't want her, the pack members never spared her a glance, it was as if she didn't exist for them. She had enough now. If they don't want her, then she doesn't need them either. She fiercely wipes her tears and says " Ok, Fine. If you don't want this mate bond then there is no point in me being here. I don't want to stay in this pathetic pack. I am leaving."
Chris stands up and says " You can't leave now, you are carrying our pups".
Adele replies angrily " My pups don't need ungrateful fathers like you. I can take care of them without you".
On hearing those words Chris and Liam both let out a fierce growl and Chris spats " How dare you disrespect us like that?"
"You do not deserve any respect from me. I don't know why the moon goddess cursed me by pairing me with mates like you but I certainly do not want to continue with this bond. As you didn't reject me for your own selfish reasons, I will do it. I Adele Green reject..." As soon as Adele said those words, Alexa who was silent this whole time suddenly interrupted " Stop it Adele, we cannot reject our mates." Adele replied with frustration " Can't you see Alexa, they don't want us". Alexa was crying in pain and says " I know it, I know our mates don't want us, but it is not so simple for us wolves. We need our mates to survive. Mate bonds are the most sacred bonds which have been fated by moon goddess herself and we can't just let it go. We have to give them another chance. I know as time passes they will surely accept us."
Adele says " I am not sure about this Alexa, it seems like only we care about this bond, not our mates nor their wolves. Why are their wolves not stopping them? Being with them will only cause us more heartache. Do you think we can tolerate it anymore?"
" We are not so weak to be broken so easily. We are of Alpha blood and we cannot accept defeat so easily. And until you are with me I can face anything. Please I request you to give this mate bond a chance. They are our mates and I don't want to give up on them so easily. Don't you want our pups to have a complete family?"
As Adele thought about her pups she knew she can't be so selfish to take them away from their fathers without even giving them a chance. She was completely defeated and slumped down on the floor and started crying. She was in so much pain and felt so helpless that she couldn't do anything to get rid of this pain. She missed her family and her old pack. She felt so lonely and broken.
Chris who had been observing Adele very keenly saw Adele's pupils continuously changing from green to gold and knew she was talking to her wolf. He was about to stop Adele from rejecting them but was happy to know her wolf didn't allow her to do so. He just smirked and said, " Your wolf understands the situation better than you do Adele. It would be good for you if you just listen to her".
Alexa was so angry on hearing those words from Chris. Their pain did not matter to him at all, instead, he was mocking them. She took control and changed to her snow-white wolf. She wanted to attack him but she knew she cant attack her mate. She just gave a heartbroken howl of pain and jumped out of the window and ran towards the forest.
It was a bright sunny day and there was a lot of hustle and bustle around the Silverlake pack. It was the day of their Alpha Axel's wedding ceremony which was to be held in the evening. Everyone was moving around doing the arrangements. Adele was super excited as her brother and her best friend Daisy were getting married. They were fated mates and loved each other a lot. Adele was in her friend Daisy's room helping her try on her wedding gown. Daisy was a nervous wreck." Am I looking good? Do I look too fat in this gown? Oh god, I should have taken that lacey gown right? The wedding is in the evening, can we go and exchange it now?" Daisy said nervously." Stop it Daisy, what are you so nervous about? This gown is beautiful on you. Everything's perfect. You are perfect. You have known Axel as your mate for 4 years. This wedding is just
The wedding celebrations at the Silverlake Pack were done at a grand scale. The pack garden was decorated with Silver and blue colored curtains and the entrance gate was beautifully decorated with flowers and ribbons. The circle-shaped wedding alter was set under a huge tree arranged with flowers and greenery. The aisle was scattered with flower petals.Silverlake pack was the second-largest pack and were quite famous among the werewolf community. They had good relations with the other packs, and many of the pack Alpha's and Beta's were invited to the wedding. The guests had started arriving. Soon it was time for the wedding and the bride walked down the aisle with her father. Axel brightened up seeing his bride. She looked mesmerizing.Adele could see the love Axel and Daisy had for each other.
Chris had the urge to go towards his mate and moves in her direction but is interrupted by his phone ringing. He takes out his phone and sees it was Liam. He suddenly realizes what he was doing and stops himself.He answers the phone and hears Liam speaking " Did you reach the pack?"Chris was distracted again when he sees his mate approaching him, so he quickly turns around and tries to look for a way out of the pack garden. He rushes towards the exit of the pack garden and moves towards the forest. He could hear Liam calling for him on the other end of the phone."Chris, Are you there? " Liam asks."Y...e...s...Yes," Chris says flustered.Liam is confused and asks " What happened?
Adele was in a bad mood whereas Alexa was completely silent and not responding at all. Though Adele wanted to go and hide away in her room, she appeared to be cheerful so as not to bother her brother and best friend on their special day. She somehow went through the day by speaking and mingling with the various guests who had arrived. Finally, the day was over and Adele couldn't wait to get back to her room. She was physically and mentally exhausted so she changed into her pajamas and slept thinking about her mate.The next morning, Adele woke up and got fresh. She had an urge to swim in the river so she changed into her wolf form and raced towards the river which was inside the forest. She ran through the trees and as soon as she reached the river, she dived in. This was Alexa's favorite spot in the Silverlake pack. She felt a bit calm in the cool water and decided to relax her mind for
The next week at the Silverlake pack passed in a blur. By now, everyone in her pack had come to know Adele was Alpha Chris's mate and would be soon leaving their pack. Being a loved member of the pack she was busy with all the pack members who wanted to meet and congratulate her before she left.Even with her busy schedule, she found time to confront the rogues who were caught on her brother's wedding day. After some torture, they admitted they and few other rogues were asked to keep an eye on the 3 most powerful packs, The Blackmoon Pack, The Silverlake pack and the Firemoon pack. They admitted they had come on the wedding day as all the Alpha's would be present there and they had got orders to keep an eye on them. Even after repeated questioning they never admitted to who gave them the orders. They just said we felt someone giving us instructions in our mind and we were forced to follo
Alexa was exploring the forest when she hears the sound of water and races in that direction. Soon she finds a waterfall and excitedly jumps into it. This place reminded her of her favorite spot at Silverlake pack. After swimming for a while in her wolf's form, Alexa looks around to see if anyone is nearby; as there was no one, she changes back to her human.Adele swims and relaxes for a while. She was getting too worked up thinking about her mates and was floating from one corner to another.Unable to think anymore, she decides to talk to Alexa. " How do you feel about having two mates?""I feel......special."That was unexpected, but when Adele sank in those words, she thought Alexa was right because having two mates is ind
Adele was looking for an opportunity to spend time with her mates, but they had to go out of town for a few days. Before leaving, Chris and Liam meet Adele.Chris says, "We have to leave for a few days. The Alpha of the Bluerock pack is my Dad's old friend. They have some issues with the rogues and need our help."As soon as Adele heard about the rogues, she suddenly remembered the rogues caught in Silverlake Pack.She says, "On the day of Axel's wedding, there was a rogue attack. The rogues who were caught confessed they were asked to keep an eye on both Silverlake and Blackmoon pack."Chris glanced at Liam and then asked Adele, "Did they say anything else as to why were they watching us?"
Alexa feels a bit relaxed after jumping into the river. By now, Adele had come out of her shock about knowing that she was in heat. "No wonder I feel so hot." Alexa grunts,"Now you know." "Why did you have to run away as if the room is on fire." "Are you actually so dumb, or just trying to piss me off, because right now I am not in the mood." Adele thinks about it and realizes that the other wolves, specially unmated male wolves, could sense her in heat and would be unable to control themselves. She could feel Alexa was agitated and decides not to annoy her more. With the absence of their mate, even she had started to get uncomforta
The Blackwood pack was filled with people running around taking care of the Wedding Arrangements. Their Alpha and Beta had warned everyone that the preparations should go smoothly, and their Luna couldn't be disappointed at any cost. After the witch's death, Adele and her kids returned to the Blackwood Pack. Chris and Liam had been wanting to propose to Adele ever since. After six months, during one of their dates at the beachside, Chris and Liam bent on their knees and proposed for marriage." Took you long enough," Adele signed." I was starting to think you two wanted to marry each other, leaving me at the side."" Of course not!!" Chris said." Don't you trust us?" Liam asked." I do. I know you two love me a lot.""Then why would you think we would not want to marry you?""Because when I came to Blackwood pack, there were rumors that you two would marry each other."" That was before," Liam agreed. " But now we know that you are the connecting link. If we marry you, our relation
Adele was so happy to see Chris alive and healthy that she instantly kissed him on his lips. For a moment, Chris was stunned and still as a stone, fearing the blissful moment would end. He then responded to the kiss with equal enthusiasm grabbing her hair to deepen the kiss. They parted only when they were out of breath, and Adele said in between her pants, " I...I love you."" What?" Chris asked, even more, shocked." I love you, Chris. I really do."Chris was so overwhelmed by Adele's confession he pulled her for another kiss which lasted for a few seconds, and said with a smile, " I love you too. Does that mean I am forgiven?"" I had forgiven you a long time ago, and I am so happy and relieved to see you are alright."" What about Alexa?" Chris asked, looking concerned." Al...?" Adele called for her wolf." Don't disturb me when I am having a romantic conversation with my mates," Alexa said irritatedly. " She's busy," Adele said, smiling at Chris, who gave her a knowing smile."
Adele felt dizzy as the pain was so immense she couldn't breathe properly. Liam held Adele and looked in the direction the spear came from and couldn't see anyone. He was confused about whether he should take care of Adele or go and look for Chris, who had fallen off the cliff. "I-I am a-alright. L-look for C-Chris," Adele stuttered in between her pain. Liam hurried towards the end of the cliff and called for Chris, but there was no response. He fell to the ground as he felt a sense of panic rising within him, thinking the worst. Why did Adele feel the pain in her heart? Was it because of losing her mate? Was Chris dead?Meanwhile, a thousand things were going on in Adele's mind too. Within a span of a few hours, she felt like she had lived a lifetime. Just a while back, Liam was on the brink of death, and now Chris. Why was this happening to her? Why was the Moon Goddess so evil to her and her mates? She hadn't even expressed her love for them yet. Chris and Liam had begged her for
" Whatever I said earlier was true," Chris said to Adele." What are you talking about?"" About loving you."Adele blushed at that. " W-We can discuss that l-later."" No, we can't," Chris said desperately." Why?""I-It's just that we have waited for a long time, and I have to tell you this." Chris suddenly held Adele's hands and looked into her eyes. " I am genuinely sorry for all my mistakes. If I could turn back time, I wish I could undo all those horrible things I did to you."" Chris, I understand. You don't have to..."" No, Adele. Please hear me out," Chris interrupted. " I have to say this not only to you but also to Alexa. She almost lost her life because of me. No day went by after that when I didn't regret not trusting you."" The past events of my life muddled my thoughts. I am not trying to justify myself here, but I just want you to know everything that led to the wrong judgments. My Mom's love for her family was not enough to fight over Samara's manipulations. Finally
Chris was on a role. Because of his inability to assist his mate, he was so enraged that he wouldn't let the tribal guards stand for more than a few seconds. The Queen was in distress as well as in awe of Chris's prowess. Meanwhile, Adele and Liam had a hard time dealing with the snakes. Liam had easily managed to break the cabin door, but the sight inside was hideous. The room was filled with poisonous snakes crawling on the floor, walls, and even the ceiling. Adele had managed to get hold of a stick to ward off the snakes. Liam reached Adele by stomping and kicking a few snakes out of his way." Out of all the creatures we could meet, why should it be snakes? I don't know how to fight them," Adele stated in distress." Let's just try to get out of this room," Liam said and held Adele's wrist. A snake fell on Liam's back, and Adele moved it away with the stick. They got rid of the few snakes and were almost at the door when a snake coiled itself around Adele's leg. She tried to ge
" I am glad you took my advice," The deep voice said in the Queen's head. " You were right," the Queen agreed. " Those strong and capable men don't deserve to be with that weakling." When the three people had unexpectedly shown up at her tribe, the Queen's first instinct was to get rid of them. Last time, a group of people had come up to them with gifts only to lure them into a trap. Half of their tribe had been destroyed as the vile people stole their precious stones and gems. She and her tribe had vowed not to trust anyone again, so she had ordered her men to execute the three people. Things took a turn when they saved her from the huge beast. The Queen was awed when she saw them turning into a wolf. She had never seen a werewolf before and had thought it was a myth. Though she hadn't seen them fight, the sheer size and the aura of the black wolf showed that he was strong. Her suspicions were confirmed when she heard a voice in her head. " He's good. Do you like him?"The Queen w
Adele, Chris, and Liam were taken to the lady who was sitting on the throne. The guards spoke to her in their language and skeptically stared at the three. Adele noticed the lady staring at Chris and Liam a bit too longer than required and felt annoyed. " I hate her already," Alexa scowled." Same here," Adele replied." Who are you?" the tribal woman asked in a deep voice, and they were surprised." You speak our language?" Chris asked, looking impressed." I know many languages," the lady said proudly. " Probably more than you."" That's wonderful," Liam chirped. " We were wondering how to communicate with you people. You will be of great help." Liam approached the altar, and Adele snorted at his eagerness.The guards came forward pointing their spears, thinking Liam was harmful to their Queen. " Woah!! Calm down. We mean no harm," Liam said, raising his hands." How can we trust you?" the Queen asked. " Last time, the people who came to this forest destroyed half of our tribe an
Adele was going through the dark tunnel with Chris and Liam. They walked for a few hours and found a wall with a few markings on it. " What language is this?" Liam asked." Nothing we know," Adele stated. " But these symbols look familiar; I saw them in the castle."" Do you think it is of any importance?"" I don't know," Adele said, staring at the circular symbol with three lines on it." Then let's keep moving," Liam said, and they walked away. After a few hours, they found a ray of light entering the tunnel through the wall of rocks." I think that's the way out," Chris remarked.He and Liam used their strength to move aside the rocks one by one, and finally, they had enough space to squeeze out.As soon as they were out of the tunnel, their jaws dropped in surprise." Did we step out of the forest?" Adele wondered, seeing the small-sized huts in front of her. Out of the blue, everything was blurred, and Adele felt darkness all around her. Suddenly she closed her eyes as a flas
" Why did you do that?" Liam cried out, almost in tears." I..."" We know you are mad at us," Chris stated. " But you didn't have to put out your anger on the poor puppy."" Listen to what I am saying..." Adele said when the puppy in her arms attempted to escape.Liam tried to grab the puppy from Adele, but she backed away." Give it back. He is in pain," Liam said, looking hurt." Didn't you observe something distinctive about the puppy?" Adele asked before they could interrupt her again." What?" Liam asked, confused." What's unusual?" Chris asked, gazing closely at the puppy. Suddenly he noticed a change. "Its eyes...?"" Exactly," Adele agreed. " Previously, the puppy's eyes were blackish-brown, but now it's golden like that of a cat."" It looks similar to that of Mr. Ugly. Does that mean it is...?"The puppy was desperately
