False 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

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

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
Last Updated : 2022-07-01False Expectations Chapter 21 - Second Chance
Adelina's pov:I woke up to a loud noise at my door. Someone was constantly knocking on the door and shouting my name from outside. I told him out loud to wait for me for a few seconds. I quickly got out of bed and got dressed. When I opened the door, a tall and masculine warrior was waiting for me. He told me to follow him, according to Chris' orders. A black SUV was waiting for us at the front door. I got in and the car started immediately. The driver and the warrior that sat next to him in the passenger seat were annoyingly quiet. I tried to start a conversation with them and find out what Chris wanted from me but they didn't speak to me at all. I began to believe that maybe Maximus' health had deteriorated. I really hope not. Fifteen minutes later we arrived at the hospital. One of the warriors came out first and opened the door for me. I went out and headed towards the entrance. I quickly climbed the stairs and arrived outside Maximus' room. I was about to knock when Chris opened
Last Updated : 2022-07-01False Expectations Chapter 22 - Kicking out Jina
Maximus' pov:- "We have a lot to take care of. First of all I want all the information we gathered about the Alpha of the Winter Woods pack movements, Nicolas. I had put two of our warriors to spy on him. Are they still watching him?" I told Chris.- "No Maximus" Chris replied.-"No? Why not?" I asked him angrily.-"He left our territory after the attacks and we thought that there was no necessity in following him at least not at his territory" he explained.-"You thought there was no necessity? Are you completely idiots?" I shouted at him.-" We had other things more important to take care of. Although, I believe he had something to do with the attacks but unfortunately I cannot prove it. It's just a suspicion I have" Chris told me.- "That's why you should be already watching him! Anyway, this is a past thing and we can’t change it now or cry over spilled milk. That's why we have to send our people to spy on him immediately. They can appear as merchants who want to expand their cus
Last Updated : 2022-07-04False Expectations Chapter 23 - The agreement
Maximus' pov:Αdelina stood in front of the door with a blank expression on her face. I can't tell if she is furious with me or just jealous because of the scene. She gives me the impression of calmness before the storm. Either way I have to control myself and explain to her that I broke up with Jina and she is the one I want. Ι have to show her that she is the only one for me and I am not willing to lose her or else everything will be ruined. I looked at Jina and told her in a cold and dominating tone.-"Leave us".-"Buut babe...." she responded in a whining style.Jina was unwilling to leave. Once more she used her old and always successful (until now) tactics to have her way with me. But this time she won't get what she wants. I am totally dedicated to my cause. My intention is to have my mate close to me and try to make her happy. Achieving this will make me powerful and successful in claiming the throne of all werewolves. I will be undefeatable. On second thought Adelina is not
Last Updated : 2022-07-04False Expectations Chapter 24 - The necklace
Adelina's pov:I woke up feeling extremely weak and tired. My mind was a mess. Maximus' term worried me. I didn't anticipate that. I never believed that he would set such term. I know he doesn't care about me and it is completely irrational to oblige me to have a real relationship with him. Ι can understand that he wants me close to him in order to gain the throne, but I cannot figure out the reason he wants a relationship with me. What does he want to achieve? Why is he doing that? That's a big enigma for me. One thing I know for sure is that I don't want to be involved in a relationship with him. I do not believe that a love affair between us will flourish. There are no true feelings between us.I tossed and turned in my bed all night until I realized that there was no use of torturing my mind about Maximus' plans. Morning had come and the best thing I had to do was banish all the thoughts from my mind and get up and do my daily routine. I was brushing my teeth when I heard a knock

Adelina's pov:I suddenly snapped out of my hypnosis from Maximus and said in a serious way:-"Please cut the act. You know there is no reason for saying those things to me. We are completely alone right now. I have already accepted our deal. As long as you comply with it, I am satisfied. Yοu don't need to convince me for anything, I know your true feelings."-"What I do or say is because I feel it. Not because I want to convince you for something" he said and gave me a piercing look.I turned my gaze away. I couldn't stand looking at him or listening to his flattering words anymore. Even if all this time my heart longed to hear those words, Ι found it hard to believe them. So I did what I always do when I want to get away from an awkward situation, I changed the subject of discussion.-"Chris told me that I would go alone to the clearing where you and the rest of the pack would be waiting for me. So why are you here? Don't you know that you're gonna be late?"-"Chris informed you wro

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
