Excuse my stupidity but is it safe to assume that in this universe the “pair” is just a contract?

Ahhh fated pairs are paired at birth and it’s only between alphas and omegas, technically anyone can become mates I believe but fated pair is different. But usually it’s alpha x omega or a beta with either because betas don’t have fated pairs. Two omegas can’t be paired I think he was really trying to deny being a omega but they can mate but it’s highly unlikely because of the nature of an omega.... hope this helped!
