Accidentally Mated To Alpha Atlas .Chapter FOURTY-FOUR: . The next time Anais woke up the sun was shining through the windows. Atlas had been awake for a while and Meg had come busting into the room demanding that he get in the shower because their emotions from the night before lingered on his skin.He quickly washed and pulled Anais back against his chest, reassured in the deep breaths of his mate. They lay together for a while before Atlas started to recognize the signs that she was waking up. He held his breath until Anais’s eyelashes fluttered open. Atlas carded his hand through her hair and smiled.“Good morning, Ana.”“Good morning, Atlas. Where are we?” he asked groggily. He frowned.“Do you not remember?” he asked.Anais mirrored his frown and shook her head as she looked around. “What happened?” She gasped. “The pup?”“The pup is fine, Anais. We’re in the hospital because you are sick. I’m going to call the nurse and let her know you’re awake.”Atlas was alar
Accidentally Mated To Alpha Atlas .Chapter FOURTY-FIVE: . ATLAS POVAtlas sat in the chair by the window while Anais slept. He needed to make some phone calls before Jovani arrived. He had been able to put off his family while Anais was comatose, but just barely. Now that she was awake he owed them his time and a thorough explanation.He checked his watch and knew that it would be a good time to talk to his parents. Their plans had been altered by a new acquisition and they hadn’t been able to make it to the states as they had planned. Atlas wondered what might have happened if they had been able to come over two months ago. Would his mother have been a friend for Anais? Would she have had another omega to confide in who was on her side? Would she have been able to make Atlas see what was happening? What he was doing to his omega?He stared out of the window without moving. The shame he felt was consuming him. He knew there would be hell to pay for his actions from hi
Accidentally Mated To Alpha Atlas .Chapter FOURTY-SIX: . “Make sure she knows that you want her first.”Atlas blew out a big breath. “I can do that.”“Good. Now, what else is going on?”“Mom wants to jump on a plane and come over now,” Atlas told him.Jovani chuckled. “Right, because that’s what we need.”“That’s pretty much what I told Dad. If she’s here it’s just going to cause more stress and Anais and I need some time to adjust together before we add another layer of anxiety to the mix. Mom’s going to want to give me a piece of her mind and it’s only going to serve to upset Anais if he has to witness it. Then she’s going to coddle her to death.”“What did Dad say?” Jovani asked.“He said that he could put her off until Thanksgiving. That’s three weeks away, so it would give us a little time. I want to be able to nest and heal alone with her.”“Makes sense to me little bro,” Jovani said. He stretched out his legs and folded his hands over his stomach. “It’s already a
Accidentally Mated To Alpha Atlas .Chapter FORTY-SEVEN: . ANAIS POV. When Anais had woken up for the first time she was disoriented and confused. The last thing she remembered was moving into the guest room, but she wasn’t sure when that was. Anais knew it had been bad by Atlas’ haggard face and the worry and relief in his scent.Though she could tell that Atlas was beside herself, Anais was shocked to hear that Atlas was sorry about his behavior and when Atlas told her that he loved her she thought her heart would stop. She wouldn’t have believed it just by words alone, but Atlas’ scent didn’t lie. There was nothing but honesty.They were able to talk briefly before the doctor arrived. She was relieved to know that there was nothing wrong with the pup. The doctor checked and told her that she needed to eat and drink and keep everything down. She had become dehydrated, which had contributed to her illness.Once everything had calmed down, Atlas laid with Anais in the larg
Accidentally Mated To Alpha Atlas .Chapter FORTY-EIGHT: . Anais felt a sob bubble up into her chest and Atlas pulled her in close under his chin and let Anais cry for a moment. He groomed Anais’s hair and ran soft fingers down over her neck and mating mark as he held Anais. The worry about Atlas leaving her and taking the pup had calmed with the alpha’s declaration and the stress and tension she had carried around with her for months dissipated. Anais still had fears and she was still unwell. There were a number of things they needed to work out between them before they would be able to move on, but Anais knew she would be the one to ask to leave if it came down to it. She had a mate who wanted him. Anais just didn’t know yet if Atlas would be able to change anything else but Anais’s insecurities. When she quieted some, Atlas pulled away to look back into Anais’s eyes.“Are you alright?” he asked.Anais nodded as much as she could and Atlas leaned down gently to press the
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
