How to fetch changes from a forked repository which is a subtree

So I have an issue wherein I forked Repository A to create Repository B.

Then I added Repository B into a subdirectory of Repository C via the subtree command as follows:

git subtree add --prefix={SubdirectoryForRepositoryC} /remote-name {RepositoryBRemoteName} master --squash

I had been using the following command to update the subtree:

git subtree pull --prefix={SubdirectoryForRepositoryC} /remote-name {RepositoryBRemoteName} master --squash

While I pulls changes from Repository B, it doesn't update Repository B based on Repository A and then pull those changes, which is what I need.

Effectively, is it possible to run a command within Repository C which updates Repository B based upon Repository A and then updates the Repository B subtree within Repository C?

Thank you so much!
