Accidentally Mated To Alpha Atlas .Chapter FORTY-NINE: . The doctor found them like that a while later.“Alpha Hawke, Omega Hawke,” Doctor Milton greeted them when she came inside the room. She smiled softly at them. “I’m glad to see you’re connecting well.”Atlas pulled back and tucked Anais into his side. Meg had followed her in and was busy working on getting Anais’s vitals.“It’s time to talk about discharge,” Doctor Milton told them. “Already?” Atlas asked anxiously. “Yes, Alpha Hawke. Omega Hawke is doing very well and the best place for him to continue to heal is at home with you.” She looked at both Anais and Atlas. “It’s going to take some time for Omega Hawke to fully recover, but it’s best to be in familiar surroundings instead of a hospital.”“What should we do?” Atlas asked.Doctor Milton smiled. “We have some detailed care instructions for you that are in writing, but there are a few points that I want to make to you now.” She waited for them to indicate th
Accidentally Mated To Alpha Atlas .Chapter FIFTY: . “Are you hungry?” he asked Anais.She nodded and glanced at the clock. It was just after three o’clock, but they hadn’t had lunch at the hospital because of the discharge. She looked back to Atlas who held out the menus.“Where do you want to eat?”Anais shrugged. “I can fix something for us, Atlas,” She said.Atlas shook his head and rounded the island to where Anais stood. “No, Anais. You can cook for us another time. Right now, we are going to order food and relax.” He waited for Anais to agree and smiled at her. “Besides, there isn’t food here. I had Eileen toss anything that was bad the other day.”Anais stiffened a little bit but tried not to let Atlas notice. She wasn’t successful though because the smile fell off of her alpha’s face.“What’s wrong?” he asked, concerned.Anais licked her lips and warred with herself. She didn’t know if she should try and talk to Atlas again or not. She had spent most of the las
Accidentally Mated To Alpha Atlas .Chapter FIFTY ONE: . “They took pictures. But we stopped it, mostly, right away. Charlie was able to get the reporters to give us the rights and we controlled the content. Digitally it’s a little tricky.”“And so…there are pictures of me going into the ambulance,” She stated.Atlas nodded. “To be fair, you can’t see anything about you, it’s mostly me they got,” Atlas told her. Anais looked up and noticed a tightness in his eyes.“What is it, Atlas?” She asked gently. “There is a long line of evidence that I have not been a good alpha to you, Anais. The pictures that day show just how much I had really messed up. I wasn’t sure what was happening and then they told me it was likely rejection sickness and…it was a wake-up call.” He shook his head. “No wonder the police came to interrogate me. They should have just arrested me on the spot. There’s plenty of evidence that I’ve-“Anais growled and Atlas stopped. Anais was a little surprise
Accidentally Mated To Alpha Atlas .Chapter FIFTY TWO: . Anais blinked her eyes open sometime later and smiled when she felt the strong arms of her mate holding her. She realized she must have fallen asleep. She stretched slightly and huffed a laugh as she remembered another time she woke up disoriented in this position.She turned slightly and glanced over her shoulder to see Atlas awake and smiling. “Something funny?” She asked.Anais shuffled and Atlas loosened his arms enough for Anais to roll over to face him. “Just remembering the first time I woke up like this,” She said. Atlas smiled back.“I remember it was a bit of a shock,” he replied drily.“Just slightly,” Anais laughed. “How long was I out?”“About forty-five minutes,” Atlas told her. “Not too long, but you need to rest, so I wanted to let you sleep.”Anais nuzzled further into Atlas’ embrace. “Thanks Atlas,” She mumbled. “Are we going to go to the store?”“If you want to, Anais. I’ll do whatever you want.”“
Accidentally Mated To Alpha Atlas .Chapter FIFTY THREE: . “You’re sure you’re ready for this?” Atlas asked her. Anais turned and smiled at the alpha. “Atlas, it’s been a week. I think it’s time.”“Do you think it’s time or are you ready?” Atlas asked. Anais nuzzled into Atlas’ neck. She scented the pure icy clean fragrance of her mate and she let out a soft sigh. “Both,” She whispered.Atlas’ arms tightened around her and he hummed. “Anais…” Anais pulled back. “Atlas, it’s time,” She said firmly. “I don’t know that I’ll ever be ready. I’ve hidden away and it hasn’t made a difference. I’m not sure how comfortable I am with being in the news all the time, but you are and I am your mate. You’re not the only one who needs to do some things differently. This is part of you and your life and I can’t hide forever.“The media needs to see that I’m healthy and whole and that we are ok. They won’t go away and I’m sure there will be plenty of nasty things said about me, but I
Accidentally Mated To Alpha Atlas .Chapter FIFTY FOUR: . She and Atlas had made a lot of progress, but Anais was still feeling her way with the alpha. She felt more confident that Atlas was going to try his best, but Anais was still conscious of the fact that he hadn’t been back to work yet and it had only been about a week since they got home. Things could and would change and Anais still wasn’t sure how Atlas would react to the new situations. She had to remind herself often that she needed to keep her wits about him and be careful. The intimacy of their conversation and the atmosphere had caused her to let her guard down and be completely honest with the alpha and now she didn’t know what would happen.“You refer to the penthouse as my house, not our house,” Atlas told her. “You haven’t felt at all like it was your home?”Anais sighed and briefly closed her eyes. She didn’t really want to have this conversation now. In fact, she was hoping that they wouldn’t have to tal
Accidentally Mated To Alpha Atlas .Chapter FIFTY FIVE: . “Atlas, dinner’s ready,” Anais called from the kitchen. She plated the food and set everything out but Atlas hadn’t appeared. She padded back into the hallway and knocked on the door to the office.“Come in,” Atlas’ voice called. Anais pushed open the door to see her alpha at his desk. Atlas had been working non-stop the entire day and Anais wanted him to stop and eat. The pictures from the night before had run that morning, along with a short article and the rest of the news outlets had quickly picked it up.Anais had been reluctant to look at it when Atlas asked her, but she had in the end. It wasn’t as bad as he thought. There were several pictures that made Anais smile. There was one of her and Atlas when they got to the restaurant and Anais had made the joke. They were smiling at each other, sharing a little excitement about the future. One of the others was a shot of Atlas kissing her hand when they were in
Accidentally Mated To Alpha Atlas .Chapter FIFTY SIX: . Anais knew that people needed time to change, but she was angry and frustrated now. She was upset that Atlas told her one thing and did another. She was mad because her body was betraying her and she felt helpless to do anything about anything. She didn’t want to go back to living in fear every day and she could easily see how that would happen if she knew she was going to be sick every night if Atlas was late.“Do you know how frustrating it is to have your entire life taken away and put into the hands of someone else who could literally kill you with indifference?” Anais asked him. She heard Atlas' swift intake of breath and pressed her lips together. “Atlas, I’m not trying to blame you or make you feel bad. I want to move forward as much as you do, but it’s different for me.”She swallowed and ran a hand through her hair. “You want all these things for me. You want me to be happy and safe and well cared for. You
