REJECTED BY THE HUSBAND, CLAIMED BY THE THREE MAFIA ALPHAS

Lilah's POV

“Lilah, I've found my mate.”

Axel, my husband of three years said to me. I froze, trying to process what he actually meant. It seemed like my heart stopped and I was going to fall the next minute.

The door was slightly ajar when I heard his footsteps approaching. I was prompted to look ahead of him. My jaw dropped.

“Carlen?” I gasped, rubbing my eyes to check out if this is actually a dream. It's real! I moved a step forward. I grabbed the door handle, leaning my body against one of the sides.

“What's going on?” I asked next.

Today marked my third anniversary with Alpha Axel. We've been married for three years here in the Hilton Pack. Our love was just a deep one even before we got married that everyone in the pack wanted to be like the Alpha and Luna. We were in the limelight, not only in the public light but we loved ourselves so much. I thought that years into our marriage, this happiness would continue but I was mistaken.

When I incurred seven miscarriages within a year, Axel’s mood towards me changed. His smiles turned into frowns and he began to ignore me, he often traveled more claiming to meeting with his fellow Alphas on summits overseas. Same thing persisted till today with my last miscarriage being three months ago. I'd often hide my face in shame especially when matters of producing an heir come up in the pack meeting.

This is what Axel wanted from me, the elders and even his parents. My deepest assurance at moments like this would be his promise.

“I'll never take another mate no matter how weak you are to bear my pup!” He would say in most of the quarrels we had. I knew he meant it, he loved me so much and that love wouldn't let him take another mate as he said no matter how harsh his treatment to me was.

Today, however, things changed. Something I never thought of.

I glared sternly at both of them. Axel grabbed Carlen’s hand tighter.

“She's my fated mate! I have been waiting for her for three years.”

I folded my arms and narrowed my eyes, then took a step closer to them. “Carlen, how can he just see you as his mate when you just flew in to see me and attend our third anniversary?”

“Sis,” she muttered with a mocking smirk. “I guess it's the way it is!” She said and snuggled tighter into Axel’s arms. I scoffed, clapping my hands in surprise.

“I still can't process what's going on?” I asked both of them. My stare was deeper on Axel, I needed him to explain what was going on very well to my understanding.

Carlen, my younger twin sister, was sponsored by me to study abroad and she left the year I got married, after serving as my chief bridesmaid. So far, she's the only one I loved and held close
