False Expectations Chapter 13 - Surrender to him
Adelina's pov:Maximus went to the bar, put some whisky and headed to his chair. He sat, took a sip from his glass, raised his head and looked at me in a stern way. I kept my gaze to him too. I wasn't going to back off. For the first time since I met him, I was feeling confident with myself in front of his appearance. I don't know if it is due to the adrenaline of the training or because of my decision to kick him out of my life. We stood there in complete silence for a couple of minutes. The office was dark; the only light was coming from the small green desk lamp. My mind took me back to my childhood, when I was afraid of the dark. I thought back then, that if I fell asleep, a monster would appear and eat me. So every night, before I lay down on my bed, I always checked under my bed, the closet and any other place I thought the monster would be hiding. So I felt safer and managed to sleep. Tonight, after so many years, I am still afraid of the dark, even though I am no longer a chil

Adelina's pov:The next morning I woke up alone in my bedroom. The sun has already risen and rays of light illuminated the room with the colors of the dawn. Although I feel extremely happy I cannot remember how I got here. All I remember was that I fell asleep after me and Maximus made love last night.Maybe he brought me here in the middle of the night and I thank him for that. If I continued to sleep on the couch, I would wake up feeling at least in pain. My mind is flooded with memories of the previous night where his sweet caresses and kisses filled my body. Everything was amazing! He was so tender, so gentle and caring! Oh my Goddess! I feel so happy, so complete! I never imagined that Maximus could make me so happy after these months of coldness and indifference. I never imagined he would be so careful and kind to me. Maybe his previous behavior was due to the fact that he did not want me to know how much I influenced him. He actually showed me his true feelings. Many times he s

Adelina's pov:We started our night out with a very classy restaurant in the center of the town. It was decorated very elegantly and looked very expensive. White and wood dominated all over the place. It had beautiful gold chandeliers, white wooden tables and chairs with metallic gold finishes. It was obvious that all the high society of our city ate here. We met a lot high ranked members of our pack but also very foreigners. There were also some humans.We sat at a table by the window. Alex was used to being here and had a great presence from the staff, especially from the waitresses who did everything to please him. I ordered pasta with pesto sauce for appetizers and seafood such as shrimp, mussels and lobster for main course while Marissa and Alex preferred beef. For dessert we had small cheese pies with various jams on top. It was all delicious! I ate too much of what I'm probably used to. During our lunch we talked about several things and had a lot of fun telling various jokes a
Last Updated : 2022-07-01False Expectations Chapter 16 - So close
Maximus' pov:It's been three hours since Adelina left and hasn't arrived yet. She went out with that idiot, Alex. He is so fucking annoying. I do not understand why Adelina hangs out with him. At least I know that they are only friends and nothing more. Although Alex is known for his taste in beautiful women, I'm sure he won't do anything that will definitely make him my enemy. He must know that Adelina is my mate. I realized this when I visited her that day at the hospital.When I saw her, a few hours ago waiting for this moron to pick her up, I was mesmerized. She was so beautiful and sexy. She wore a black tight dress with a denim jacket on and she had left her hair loose. She was stunning! Absolutely irresistible! Every sane man would like to have her by his side. And instead of being me her only companion for the night, it was this dickhead.Since then, I locked myself in my office trying to calm down. I was furious. Not with her or this moron, but with myself and my feelings. I
Last Updated : 2022-07-01False Expectations Chapter 17 - The accident
Maximus' pov:I arrived at the northern border in a few minutes. The border guards kept a strong defense and I immediately joined them. After several minutes of fighting with rogues we managed to repel most of them. Once again the border guards did an amazing job. I'm really proud of my warriors. Chris informed me that we were doing very well in the south as well. We had repulsed most of the ruthless attacks and fortunately we had minimal losses and minimal injuries. Although their weapons were obsolete, their combat techniques and skills were of a high standard and that worries me. If I used to suspect that these attacks were triggered by another pack, now I can be sure of that.I was fighting two rogues when one of my warriors, who followed Adelina, informed me about the man with whom Adelina was out of the club. He was Nicolas, the Alpha of Winter Woods Pack and my worst enemy! "What the hell is she doing with him?" I wondered.-"Alpha we are waiting for your orders. What do you wa
Last Updated : 2022-07-01False Expectations Chapter 18 - Chris' plan
Adelina's pov:It has already been a week since Maximus' accident and yet he hasn't woken up with the last two days falling into a coma. The doctors had run many tests, but did not find anything to cause his current condition. He wasn't poisoned and had no underlying disease. He had only one serious wound that did not heal. And this is very strange for a werewolf. Although I was informed daily about his health, I wasn't able to see him again. Outside his door there were two guards who didn't allow anyone to enter except the doctors, Christopher and the annoying redhead, Jina.Fortunately, everything went smoothly at work. Mario's new management system was faster and more productive and allowed me to finish almost every day on time without working overtime.I continued my training. It was my only way to get rid of my worries and relax. I have learned new and developed some old techniques and Dimitris upgraded me to Alpha's personal guard team. Not that I would work as such....It was a
Last Updated : 2022-07-01False Expectations Chapter 19 - Mine for one night
Adelina's pov:- "And how am I supposed to do that?" I asked Chris surprised.-"I do not know. Just go closer to him and let the bond do the rest... "-"That's your plan? Really now? It must have taken you a long time to think about it "I told him sarcastically.-"You don't have to be so ironic. Do you have anything else to suggest?"-"It wasn't exactly my plan attempting to wake Maximus up you know ..... So no, I do not have anything to propose cause I believe that the whole idea is nuts" I responded in a sassy way.-"The little cat showed her claws. I didn't expect you to be so argumentative. Interesting!" he said with a wide smile.-"I am a wolf not a cat. If I were you, I would be more careful with characterizations" I talked back annoyed crossing my arms.He laughed at my antics and approached Maximus' bed. I followed behind. He sat on the left side of the bed while I sat on the right. I was looking at Maximus' body as he was standing there unconscious. I could not bear to see hi
Last Updated : 2022-07-01False Expectations Chapter 20 - Awaken
Adelina's pov:When our conversation with Chris ended, I went straight to my office as I had a lot of work to do. When I got in I was surprised. Marios was waiting for me there. He told me that he had been informed about my overnight stay in Maximus' room. Apparently my stay in Maximus' room was spread all over the hospital. It was the news of the day! He suggested that I go to rest. This is definitely Chris' doing and I'm grateful to him because, although I felt very energetic when I woke up, as the hours passed fatigue overwhelmed me. I will thank Chris for this later. So I followed Mario's advice and headed to the pack's house. When I arrived at my room, I took a quick shower and went straight to bed. I turned off the phone and immediately fell asleep.Chris' pov:It's hard for me to believe that nothing happened all night. I was sure that the bond would do its magic and would have some positive effect on Maximus' health. It just doesn't make any sense. The bond is something strong

False Expectations Chapter 56 - Eternal Hug
Maximus' pov: When I reached the Temple, I realized that it was already too late! The damage was already done. Adelina has apparently accepted Jacob as her mate and this has infuriated our Goddess as our bond had never been broken. The result was our bond to prevent Adelina from getting into a new one. Even if she had rejected me, she could not find a new partner without breaking our bond first. I told her but she preferred not to listen to me. The day of her initiation was also a day of bondage. That night, without knowing anything, she joined me in a sacred ancient ritual under the watchful eye of our Goddess. Through the old vows and psalms, our souls were united for eternity. I did it then to bind her to me as I wasn't sure if I would eventually accept her as my mate and mark her. I know now, that what I did was wrong and dishonest and I shouldn't hide it from Adelina, but back then it was the only way to keep my partner close to me without scaring her. I entered the Temple with
False Expectations Chapter 55 - Green light
Adelina's pov: -" Come in!" I said, sitting behind my desk, reviewing a stack of files. The past few weeks I've been extremely busy: In addition to all my other obligations, I had a wedding to organize. Although my Gamma’s mate took over all the organizing part I had still a lot on my plate. -"Good evening Alpha" Liam said after he made a big bow to me. -"Liam! Please sit. Did you complete your mission?" I asked him eagerly. -"Yes, Alpha. The letter was given directly to the King" -"And what was his response?" Liam hesitated a little before answering. -"You know Alpha.....the King.... said that he doesn’t allow this wedding because you didn't break the previous bond in order to proceed in another. And that according to our law is........." -"Is what?" I asked him impatiently. Inside me a flame of rage smoldered. -"It's.....illegal. He said he......won't allow it" Liam said scared. -"He said what? How dare he? I didn't ask for his permission! I just wanted to know if he was go
False Expectations Chapter 54 - The invitation
Adelina's pov:It has been a month since I last saw Maximus in the hospital. Since then, he has never answered my messages or returned my calls. It's like he was lost in the air. I cannot understand why he disappeared like that. If he was offended by my way, he should talk to me and together we would find a solution. He cannot expect me to follow every order of his like I am puppet. It's absurd!He is so selfish! Of course! He is a King now. He can have whoever he wants! Why stick with me especially when I don't do as he says or follow his lead?-"Don't be silly! Why stick with you? Are you seriously asking this question? Because you are his mate and he loves you! He came to save you! Here's why! Isn't it enough for you?" my wolf scolded me.-"I do not know .... His behavior is very confusing ... On the one hand he comes and saves me and on the other he disappears and does not want any contact with me when I do not agree with his opinion. I just do not understand! I would rather him be
False Expectations Chapter 53 - Hope is lost
Maximus' pov: When Adelina told me to watch out, I pushed her a little and turned towards him. Drako also appeared on the surface. He was furious and thirsty for blood. I must admit that he is unbeatable. He acts so accurately and quickly that no worthy opponent can match him. My nails had already elongated and I quickly sank them into Nicolas' body. In the blink of an eye I was holding Nicolas' still beating heart in my hand. Nicolas' body fell hard on the ground. I left his body there and headed towards Adelina who was lying unconscious on the ground. I picked her up in a bridal style and put her in the passenger seat of the SUV. I sat in the driver's seat and started the engine. I took one last look at her before accelerating. Adelina's pov: When I woke up, I realized I was in a hospital room. I looked around me. There was absolutely no one. The room was empty. A vase of beautiful white roses stood on the table on my right side. Next to it there was a jar of fresh water and an em
False Expectations Chapter 52 - Is it all over?
Adelina's pov: The roar I heard a few minutes ago did not belong to anyone other than Maximus of course! He was here! I just could not believe it! He really came for me this time! A few minutes ago I felt alone weak and helpless and I thought I was going to die and now Maximus came, out of the blue to save me. -"Put her down Nicolas!" Μaximus shouted from afar. -"Your Highness, what a pleasure to have you here. Although I didn't expect you, I want you to be absolutely sure that I will take care of you in the best way I can. A way worthy of a King! But please allow me first to take care of your beautiful mate" Nicolas said sardonically. -"This is between you and me. Let... Adelina.... go" Maximus said strictly. -"Or else what?" Nicolas asked arrogantly. -"Don't mess with me Nicolas. You know what I am capable of" he threatened. -"Oh I am so afraid right now....." he said sarcastically. -"You should be" Max replied coldly. -"Don't you forget something my King? What about the Cou
False Expectations Chapter 51 - No more pretending
Maximus' pov: After a long and tedious meeting I managed to return to my office. I hate meetings a lot. They are always full of noise and completely ineffective. I mind linked Edward, my Delta, asking him if he had sent the flowers. He answered that he had sent them hours ago. So why didn't she call me to thank me? Am I so unwanted to her? -"Maybe she didn't get them yet! You should call her back and check it out! Oh! And ask her if she liked them" Drako suggested. -"You know something? That is an excellent idea!" -"All my ideas are excellent" he replied cockily. I was ready to give her a call when Demetrio, my Gamma burst into my office in frustration. It isn't something he is used to do. He always respects and adheres to the hierarchy. I do not know what really caught him today. Surely it was something of extreme importance. -"What the hell are you doing?" I asked him angrily. -"I am sorry Alpha but I needed to see you immediately. It's about something very important." -"What
False Expectations Chapter 50 - "Rogue" attack
Adelina's pov: The trip to my pack was long and tiring. It was ten in the morning when I finally arrived. I parked the jeep and headed straight to my bedroom. I took a quick shower, gοt dressed and went to my office. When I got inside, Jacob was sitting at my desk working on his laptop. -"Good morning Jacob" I told him. He looked at me and abruptly stood up. I made him a sign that I was ok with him sitting in my position but he ignored it. -"Good morning Ad. Welcome back! How was the coronation? Did you have a good time?" Jacob asked while he was picking up his things. -"I wouldn't say that". -"Why? It was the coronation of the King for Goodness sake! It surely had lot of food and music. Why didn't you have a great time? I know I would have..." -"Of course you would. But I am not like you. For me it was just as every other social event: absolutely boring. Everything all right here?" -"The usual. The new contracts were signed by most Alphas and were sent back. Some rogues entered
False Expectations Chapters 48 & 49
Chapter 48 - The skirmishes Maximus’ pov: The skirmishes arrived and even though I was devastated by Adelina's behavior I managed to train a lot during this time. I have to admit I'm in pretty good shape, better than ever I would say. I let Chris take charge of the pack and was accompanied by Dimitri and a few warriors. Many Alphas joined in, aspiring to become the new King of all werewolves. I knew the competition would be tough, but I was confident in the abilities of my wolf and mine. Skirmishes consisted of three rounds. The first round was all about your knowledge of the kingdom over history, finances, packs, etc. The second involved contests of skill and the third was the battles between the contenders for the King's throne. I managed to get through both rounds with ease, I must say. As for the first round, no one knew more about the kingdom than me. From a young age my grandfather always taught me about our species and our history. He was a scholar who had written the most im
False Expectations Chapter 47 - Upside down
Maximus' pov:I woke up and found myself lying on a bed in a hospital room. As one of the nurses told me I was out for three days. I had already collapsed when Chris found me later that day in the forest and brought me here. It is the first time I am glad he did not obey my orders and did what his heart told him.During all those days I fell into a deep sleep. It was one of the side effects of the poison that Mario gave me. I would have more side effects if the doctors here did not give me the antidote. Nevertheless I needed this sleep as my body was exhausted from everything that took place the previous days.Chris informed me that eventually Adelina was found safe and sound and that she would return tomorrow. Although he skipped all the details about her finding which caused many doubts to me, Drako and I were excited that we would see her again. We wanted to give her a big hug, to smell her intoxicating scent, to kiss and caress her everywhere. This time I will not make the same mi
