Chapter 69: A Win-Win
Max looked back at his future Alpha and put the car into park.
"I would never joke around about something as serious as this," Max said with an uncharacteristically serious expression. "Frankly, I couldn’t come up with a better plot twist than this if I wanted to."
Axel leaned forward in his seat with an intense look in his eyes. He needed more information. He needed to know everything Max had discovered.
"Why did they break up?" he asked.
It was common knowledge that it was impossible to choose another partner other than your fated mate without extenuating circumstances. In the short time Axel had known Jasmine, he didn’t sense any problems that would warrant a rejection.
Why would Elliot choose to marry Isabella if Jasmine was already his fated mate? It didn’t make sense to Axel. If he were in Elliot’s shoes, he would have married Jasmine in a heartbeat if he were lucky enough to be her fated mate.
"Elliot and Jasmine are from the same pack," Max explained, turning around in his seat so he could look back at his future Alpha.
Axel nodded and gestured for Max to go on. Jasmine had already told him this. But she had lied to him and said that she barely knew Elliot. Obviously, that wasn’t the case.
"They discovered that they were fated mates when they were eighteen," Max continued. "Although most people in their pack knew that they dated for almost three years, only Elliot and Jasmine’s close friends and families knew that they were fated mates."
Axel absorbed all this new information.
"Then, after nearly three years of dating, Elliot and Jasmine suddenly broke up."
