Accidentally Mated To Alpha Atlas .Chapter THIRTY-FIVE: . Atlas seemed unable to get a hold on his frustration and anger that night. He needed to make some connections and Anais seemed bored. He only spoke when she was asked a direct question and Atlas was beginning to think that Anais had no interest in helping him at all. He was frustrated with himself that he had used Anais’s maiden name during the introductions and Crowley had noticed.Atlas was nearly pushed over the edge of his anger when Anais paled at the fish put in front of her. He wanted to roll his eyes at the drama. Racheal caught him out though so he asked for a new plate. Anais didn’t even eat half of it anyway. Atlas tried to ignore his omega while he discussed a few business things with Crowley. When the speeches were over and people started mingling he knew he needed to get up and move around. He stood and turned to Anais. He needed to focus on his business networking and he didn’t think that she wou
Accidentally Mated To Alpha Atlas .Chapter THIRTY-SIX: . ANAIS POVAnais woke up the next morning to her phone chirping at her. She rolled over and saw that Atlas wasn’t in bed. She listened and heard the shower running. She glanced at the clock and it was just past seven. She groaned. They hadn’t gotten in until almost midnight and had spent some time after that before they fell asleep.Anais reached for her phone where she had left it the evening before on his nightstand. She heard it chirp again as she picked it up. She had text alerts set up for when Hawke Networks was mentioned outside of their media stream. Anais wanted to keep up with what was being said about the company, and also, she wanted to know what they said about her and Atlas.She pulled open the notifications and swiped them open. She was expecting photos of them on the red carpet and she wanted to see what they looked like together. She sat up against the headboard and smiled in anticipation. She fro
Accidentally Mated To Alpha Atlas .Chapter THIRTY-SEVEN. Eileen did make her some soup and she brought crackers and ginger ale. Anais didn’t resent her, really. She actually liked her a lot. It was the fact that she wanted to help take care of the apartment and no one had taken it seriously. When he had talked to Atlas about it he had just brushed it off. She had tried to make him understand how it made Anais feel to have another omega in her space, but Atlas didn’t listen to her.Anais thanked her and tried to eat something. She turned on the television and tried to watch a movie. She avoided the news on her phone and the TV. Her heart was heavy and she didn’t think she wanted to listen to any more of the news about her mate.They probably weren’t too favorable to her either. There was clearly no competition between the two omegas. Anais might have a bite on her neck and a pup in her belly, but Atlas could break the bond easily. It wouldn’t be too painful for the alpha,
Accidentally Mated To Alpha Atlas .Chapter THIRTY-EIGHT. The third night that Atlas didn’t come upstairs Anais resigned herself to the fact that her mate didn’t want her anymore. She didn’t go downstairs to check because she knew what she would find. Atlas had three other bedrooms he could sleep in upstairs and he chose the couch. He couldn’t have sent Anais a clearer message about how much he wanted to be away from her than that, regardless of what he told the media.She had tried so hard to be a good mate, to do what she thought Atlas wanted, to be agreeable and not make waves. Atlas seemed displeased with her no matter what and she didn’t know what to do.Atlas hadn’t even really heard her to start with. She didn’t have a place. Eileen was there to do all the chores and Anais was supposed to do…whatever she wanted apparently. But that wasn’t her. She wanted a partner, someone to raise their pup with, someone to talk to and share a life with.Anais stretched out her a
Accidentally Mated To Alpha Atlas .Chapter THIRTY-NINE. “Atlas, you have fucked this up better than I could ever even imagine,” she said coldly. Atlas glared at her but didn’t contradict her words. He knew she was right.And she didn’t even know half of it. He thought back to the way he had left Anais. In bed, still naked from the night before. The raw hurt and shock in his omega’s scent and eyes made his stomach turn.“What else did you do?” she asked sharply.He stood up and paced to the windows on the wall. He stood there, looking out at the skyline for a minute before he spoke.“Anais asked me if there was anything she needed to know when she saw those pictures.” He paused.“And?” Charlie prompted him.“And instead of reassuring her that there was nothing to be worried about, I lashed out at her. I…Charlie, I said some things that I shouldn’t have.”Atlas heard her cross the room and stand next to him. He glanced down at her and took in her rigid posture and clench
Accidentally Mated To Alpha Atlas .Chapter FOURTY: . It seemed like forever before they were ready to move her to the gurney that would take her outside. Atlas tried to stay out of the way so they could work and he followed them silently into the elevator. He caught a whiff of Anais’s scent as they descended and nearly whined. It was muted and dry when it should be rich with pregnancy and healthy omega.Atlas directed Charlie to Alfie who was still waiting and they would follow with the car. He climbed into the ambulance at the direction of the EMTs and they moved quickly to get Anais inside. They worked on her vitals and tried again to get an IV in. Atlas heard the driver on the radio as they began to move and he startled at the volume and intensity of the sirens that blared as they made their way through traffic. He felt like he was having an out of body experience. He was in the back of an ambulance with his mate, who was in critical enough condition that he needed the
Accidentally Mated To Alpha Atlas .Chapter FOURTY-ONE: . A moment later Charlie’s anxious face appeared as she opened the door.“Atlas?”“Come in, Charlie,” he told her. She walked in carefully and her eyes landed on Anais. Her swift intake of breath at the sight of her told Atlas that it was obvious how sick she was.She looked tired and drawn. Her anger had diminished but in its place was the fear and grief she had shown when he first saw her. Her eyes were red rimmed and her mouth was pinched.“What did the doctor say?” she asked as she pulled her bag from around her shoulder and sat down heavily on the chair next to Atlas’ side of the bed.“It is severe rejection sickness. I will need to stay here until she’s better.”“Alright. What can I do to help?”Atlas shook his head. He couldn’t think of his company or anything at the moment. For all he had continued to put Anais second, or third or last in a lot of cases, suddenly, she was the most important thing in Atlas’ life
Accidentally Mated To Alpha Atlas .Chapter FOURTY-TWO: . ATLAS POVThe rest of the morning was spent alternately laying with Anais and talking with the doctors and nurses. When Atlas came out of the bathroom Meg had gone and Anais was still laying in the same place on the bed.He crawled into the larger bed and was just trying to get settled when Meg knocked on the door and entered. Behind her came a technician, pushing a cart with a machine, and a doctor. Atlas sat up slightly as they entered.“Alpha Hawke, I’m doctor Anna Milton. I specialize in Omega Rejection Sickness. We’d like to check the pup to see how it’s doing.”“Yea, anything you need to do,” Atlas said. He began to sit up more but Meg shook her head.“No, alpha, you need to stay there. We can work around you. I’ll help you get her in place so we can do the ultrasound.”Atlas nodded and relaxed. Together they were able to maneuver Anais onto his back and into the crook of Atlas’ arm. He rubbed his chin over An
