°`Abandonment`°

That night was supposed to be special.

Gabriel had been at home for a few hours. On the living room table was a small envelope containing the results of the test that had completely changed his life.

Pregnant.

He was still trying to find the right words to tell his two husbands the news. Jude and Haaland were going to be fathers. It was huge news, and Gabriel wanted to see their reaction.

When the front door finally opened, the two alphas entered together.

"Gabi, we need to talk," Jude announced, taking off his jacket.

Haaland stood beside him, with a serious expression.

This is important. We want to resolve this today.

Jude glanced briefly at Gabriel before continuing.

We talked a lot and came to a decision.

Haaland took a deep breath.

We want to end the marriage.

Silence filled the room.

"We don't want to continue this relationship, Gabriel," Jude added, her voice firm.

Haaland picked up the keys that were on the table.

We thought it best for each of us to go our own way.

The two seemed determined. They didn't ask how Gabriel was doing, they didn't notice the envelope on the table, and they certainly didn't imagine what he was about to tell them.

When Gabriel tried to get a chance to speak, Jude interrupted him.

We don't need to prolong this.

Haaland opened the door.

Let's go for now. We'll sort out the rest later.

And then the two of them left.

The door closed.

The envelope remained on the table. Inside was the news that Jude and Haaland never imagined they would receive that night.

They were about to become parents. But they had left without even knowing.

Don't let them find out right at the beginning of the story.
