ANAIS POV*“What will we do?” Anais asked instead.Atlas sipped his coffee and pulled up something on his phone. “Charlie sent a list of things that she thought would be good for us to do together today.”He tilted the phone so Anais could read the screen. Art museum, Central Park Zoo, carriage ride, walk Riverside Park… The list went on and on. Anais saw some added ones at the bottom and her mouth dropped open.“A helicopter ride at sunset before we have dinner on a yacht?” She read out loud. She knew her voice was incredulous and she couldn’t contain her laugh. “Are you kidding me?” She looked up to see Atlas looking at her with a slightly confused look on his face.“Yes,” Atlas told her pointing to the note. “That’s how we’ll end the day today. The top ones are suggestions for this afternoon. Does one sound better than another?”“What?” Anais asked dumbly. “We’re going on a helicopter ride?”“Yes,” Atlas told her matter of factly. “It’s scheduled for five o’clock and t
Accidentally Mated To Alpha Atlas .Chapter TWENTY ONE .Anais walked to the couch and lay down. She had spent several nice nights with Atlas here, watching a movie or the news. Anais liked that she could lay on it and be comfortable because it was so long. She stretched out and turned on the television. She watched a few shows and flipped through the hundreds of channels that Atlas had.Anais made herself some lunch and ate outside on the terrace. She had discovered this piece of heaven the other day. It was a warm day and Atlas had wind guards in place to make sure that everything stayed where it should stay and that it was comfortable. There were couches and tables and there was a bar with seating under an overhang with a TV.It was Anais’s favorite spot in the entire place. She ended up eating out there and then read a book she found on the shelf. She fell asleep for a while and woke up when it was late in the afternoon. She stretched and smiled. She felt good. B
ATLAS- THAT MORNING.Atlas’ alarm went off early and he groaned as he grabbed his phone to silence it. The sun was up but it was only six o’clock. He blinked and tried to remember why his alarm was set an hour earlier than usual. The warm body shifting next to him reminded him why.He was going back to work today and he needed to take care of his mate before he left. Charlie had helped him make a plan to return to work that would make it as easy on Anais as possible. Atlas wasn’t really worried about himself, he knew he would be fine, but Anais would be alone.Anais’s soft body curled into his and Atlas used the arm that was already around her to pull her flush against his side. He moaned as his cock stirred and Anais’s sweet scent wafted into his nose. “Mmmm, morning,” She mumbled. Atlas rolled over and had Anais flat on her back as he hovered over her. Anais’s surprise was clear on her face and Atlas smiled. He leaned down and pressed their lips together gently.“Good m
Accidentally Mated To Alpha Atlas .Chapter TWENTY THREE.Atlas easily slipped back into his work patterns over the course of the week. He woke at his usual time and got dressed and left the apartment. Anais often woke up with him and walked him to the elevator. After that, Atlas wasn’t sure what she did. Atlas focused on work and knew Eileen would take care of the apartment. Anais was able to do what she wanted with her time and Atlas thought she would be happy to have space to do what she wanted without worrying about money or food.When he got home at night it was to varying degrees of moodiness from his omega. Atlas didn’t understand what had Anais all up in knots, but wondered if it had something to do with the pup she was carrying. They hadn’t talked about it much, and it didn’t really seem real to Atlas at that point. There was nothing to show even though her sweet scent continued to strengthen each day.A few days later Anais said something to Atlas that made him
Accidentally Mated To Alpha Atlas .Chapter TWENTY FOUR.Anais reared back and her eyes were wide. “Why would we need a nanny?” She practically shouted. She had startled Charlie because her face registered shock and surprise at her outburst. A sharp fear had risen in her at the idea of someone else taking care of her pup. If that happened, what would Atlas do with Anais? “No reason, Anais,” she told her calmly. “I just meant that if you wanted to work on a project or charity that I can help find someone to give you a little time to do it. That’s all.”Anais nodded and relaxed again. “I’ll have to think about it. I don’t know where to start or what to think.”She had nodded and they spent the rest of the morning getting to know each other. Anais found out that they had a lot in common. She was pleasantly surprised to find that he might have a new friend.The next few weeks were more of the same. Anais would get up and often Atlas would be gone, or about to be gone. She
Accidentally Mated To Alpha Atlas .Chapter TWENTY FIVE.The night of the gala Anais looked good. Her stomach was still flat and she had been able to procure a dress with Atlas and Charlie’s help. She had never worn something this expensive before and she felt horribly uncomfortable and out of place, but she looked nice.Anais was nervous about being with people she didn’t know how to interact with. She was also nervous about the way people would receive her as Atlas’ mate. There were sure to be alphas in Atlas’ circle that frequented the club and Anais’s stomach sank every time she thought about coming face to face with an alpha she had serviced while working.Anais sighed and tugged down the dress once more before she made her way downstairs. Atlas had been caught up at the office, so he had sent Alfie to get her tonight alone. Atlas told her he would take one of the other company cars and meet her there. Anais wasn’t at all confident that she should arrive alone, but sh
ANAIS POVAnais continued to struggle to adjust to the new life she had. On one hand, she had everything she could ever want. The worry and fear about being fed and having a place to live was no longer there. In its place though, was the very real terror that Atlas could put her out and separate her from her pup in addition to breaking the bond.She had a handsome mate who enjoyed knotting her, but otherwise didn’t seem to be interested in being part of Anais’s life, nor letting Anais in to get to know him. Anais didn’t know what to feel. She didn’t know what to do. She wasn’t even sure who she was anymore. Over the next few weeks she had been vigilant about listening to Atlas when he spoke so that she could anticipate what the alpha might need or want. She thought that she was doing a good job and Atlas seemed pleased with her.Atlas had mentioned that he needed a new set of cufflinks, so Anais found some that she liked and bought them for the alpha. Atlas had been surprised
The rest of the week Atlas was more attentive during the morning. He still left mostly on time to go to the office, but he was more affectionate with Anais. He marked her and touched her which made Anais feel better mentally and physically. The morning of the appointment Anais woke up and stretched. She was confused for a moment because it was later than usual. She was woken up by Atlas’ alarm most mornings, but it hadn’t gone off today. She rolled over and buried her nose in her alpha’s scent at his neck. Atlas rumbled in his sleep and she scooted closer.She remembered that she had an early doctor’s appointment and Atlas had taken the morning off to go with her. Anais smiled because she had been sure that Atlas wouldn’t be going with her most of the time and now, here she was, sleeping in late because Atlas took off work for her. Anais sighed happily and wiggled closer.She felt Atlas shift and thought the alpha was awake. Atlas pulled her even closer and ran a hand down
