Gamma’s Destined Mate.

Adella Arcos - POV

“I…I am all right.” I mumbled before an awkward silence filled the air. “Um, can I speak with you, Jose?” I asked him, and he nodded his head.

“Let's go to my room,” he suggested, I nodded my head, and he led me to his room. I stepped into his room, and I was amazed to see his room squeaky clean. “Please take a seat, Adella,” he said, and I nodded my head, and made my way to sit on the sofa while he took a seat on his bed.

“Jose, about last night, I…” he raised his hand, stopping me midway.

“It was an accident, and I don't want to talk about it again,” he said.

“Are you mad at me?” I asked him, and he didn't answer for a long time before he shook his head, and this made a blissful smile appear on my face.

“But I…”

“I know you don't want to jump into a relationship so soon, just like me.” I interrupted him and took a deep breath before I continued. “Since you are staying in this pack for two months, I thought that maybe, we could get to know each other better. We will be friends for now.” I told him.

“I don't know if that will work, Adella.”

“It will, I want to get to know my mate on a more personal level, just like how you would feel about me. I mean, you are the first person whom I am going to call my family, and I…” I didn't know how to express my feelings, but I knew he must have understood what I was trying to say. He had a look of confusion in his eyes while his eye color was rapidly shifting from that beautiful copper to black.

“I think we can give it a try then.” he finally said, and this made a huge smile appear on my face. I got up from my place walked towards him, and pulled him into a hug.

“Thank you, Jose,” I mumbled in his ear before I pulled back. “Anyway, I got to go now, can we exchange numbers?” I asked him, and he nodded his head and gave me his number while I gave him mine. “I will see you later,” I told him before leaving his room with a new vigor of confidence in me.

Gamma Jose Gomez - POV

Elena’s voice was filled with concern while I screamed at myself for betraying her like this. “Nothing. I am just really stressed out with all the work in here.” I lied, and she let out a relieved sigh.

“Thank God, I thought that there was an issue. Anyway, I will call you later,” she told me.

“All right, love you,” I mumbled.

“I love you too, Jose. Bye,” she said before the line was disconnected. I didn't know what to do, and I was still confused as to why I didn't tell Elena that I found my mate. I got up from my bed and walked to the French doors, pushed them open, and went to stand on the balcony to get some fresh air.

Why did I even come here in the first place?

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath to relax when I heard someone yell in the hallway.

What the hell is going on now?

“Ouch!”

I quickly entered my room, took some clothes, and quickly wore them, when I opened my door, I saw that the Alpha’s sister was bullying someone in the hallway. “Argh!” that sounded familiar. I rushed into the hallway when I saw that it was Adella.

After saving her from that bitch I took her to my room to tell her the truth, but when she started speaking about how she wanted to get to know me even more. That ardour and love I saw in her eyes just captivated me and stopped me from telling her the truth.

I know that I am leading her on, but I just didn't have the heart to let her go either. After what happened between us last night, I felt like the bond between us only became stronger, and this scared me shitless.

I wouldn't say Adella isn't beautiful, she is beautiful in her own way, but a feeling of guilt consumed me. When she left my room after saying goodbye, I walked onto the balcony and just stood there. Why did I even agree to get to know her better?

“At least give her a chance, Jose. I know that we will not be like our parents.” Carlos told me, but I just couldn't believe him.

“You know how miserable Mum was when Dad left her that day for another woman, right?”

“I know, but if there is true love nothing like this would have happened, Jose.”

“I don't believe in true love, Carlos. Because of him, I lost my mother, and my sister had to grow up without both her parents. How can he not have even an ounce of love for her when she is his fated mate?” I asked him, and that was when my wolf shut his mouth.

I stayed there a little longer before I went back inside and changed into my training attire and left the pack house. Throughout the session, I was confused as to what I should be doing when I finally came to a conclusion.

I will not tell Elena about my mate, instead, I will try to get to know Adella more for my wolf’s sake, and if I feel the kind of love I feel towards Elena, then I will accept her and let Elena go.

I walked back to the pack house, and on my way there, I texted Adella.

Hey, I was wondering if you would be free tomorrow - Jose

Yes. - Adella

Let's go out somewhere tomorrow. Meet me outside the pack - Jose

Sure, what time? - Adella

At ten in the morning? - Jose

Okay, see you then - Adella
