False Expectations Chapter 26 - A pleasant surprise
Adelina's pov:The man standing in front of me in his black tuxedo was none other than my beloved father! "Father" I said enthusiastically."Μy beautiful daughter" he exclaimed giving me a toothy smile and opened his arms to hug me. I fell into his arms and hugged him tight. Oh my Goddess how much I've missed him! I've missed everything on him: his smell, his smile, his jokes even his scolding.-"I missed you dad" I said happily.-"I missed you too pumpkin!" he said and caressed my cheek. He kissed me on my forehead and we stayed there staring at each other for some seconds. After those seconds passed we started dancing. -"I thought you wouldn't come" I complained.-"How could I miss it? My beautiful daughter becomes the Luna of the most powerful pack in the world!" he told me full of proudness.-"Have the others come as well?" I asked and tried to scan all the tables to find them.-"Only Jake managed to come. Stella wasn't feeling very well."-"Is she ill?" I asked worriedly.-"No, s

Adelina's pov:-"Maximus Drako! Good to see you again" Nicolas said arrogantly and continued "Every meeting with you never fails to surprise me! Ι must confess this time I was really taken aback".-"How so?" Maximus asked him indifferently. It was obvious he didn't give a damn about what Nicolas was talking about. He was just trying really hard to be polite.-"You always manage to make a difference, even tonight with the Luna's Ceremony. The choice of your Luna came like a bolt from the blue!" Nicolas said sardonically.-"It was not in my plans to surprise you, believe me, although, I do not think that the other Alphas are as interested in my personal life as you are". Nicolas was not intimidated by the indirect insult of Maximus and continued:-" I thought that red headed that was following you everywhere like a puppy would be your Luna. To be honest, I am not the only one who believes it".-"I never said or gave the impression that Jina was my mate or she would be my Luna. After al

Maximus' pov:Ι woke up in the middle of the night with an inner need to go and see her. I knew she had the door locked but that wouldn't stop me. I managed to get into her room and found her sleeping peacefully. I approached her and kissed her softly on the forehead. Goosebumps rose everywhere in my body. I love the feeling her touch leaves in me. I sat on the armchair that was next to her bed and watched her sleeping until I fell asleep.Early in the morning I woke up and returned to my room. I took a quick shower and headed to the training fields. For the first time in my life I felt light and happy. The strangest thing was that all these feelings were caused because I spent the whole night sleeping in the same room with her! That was absurd!During my training a thought oppressed my mind. Why so suddenly I felt so dependent on her? I couldn't imagine my life without her. I wanted to have her constantly around me, to see her, smell her, kiss and caress her. What was happening to me

Adelina's pov:We hopped in the jeep and headed to the forest. After a while of driving we reached at a point where the road was a dead end, we left the car and continued on foot with Maximus holding a big wicker basket. We passed the clearing with the secret rock and ended up to a small lake with a small green waterfall. I hadn't seen so beautiful place before. I didn't even know the existence of this lake. Behind the small waterfall, a cave was hidden. The lake was surrounded by low vegetation which consisted of grass and small colorful flowers. Α few meters afar there were beautiful tall oaks and willows. We chose one of the oaks and sat down. The sun was high and it was quite warm. Maximus opened the basket and took out a tablecloth which I helped him lay out. Then he started pulling out various goodies that looked absolutely delicious. For the end he had left a bottle of white wine. I love white wine! Did he know or was it just a lucky guess? Probably the latter but I really didn
Last Updated : 2022-07-06False Expectations Chapter 30 - The Sorceress
Maximus' pov:We arrived at the pack house and after I left Adelina in her room I headed to my office. The sorcerous was on her way and would be here any second now, as Chris informed me. Adelina was silent throughout the return journey and that was something that troubled me. It seems that she has many inhibitions regarding giving us a second chance. I really do not believe that eventually she will be persuaded. She treats the whole theme with great prejudice and this deeply bothers me, a lot! I wonder if her acquaintance with Nicolas has something to do with her reluctance. I will wait what Sonia has to say about it and then I'll act accordingly. As always I face every problem when it arises. This tactic has shaped me all these years and made me what I am today and I am not gonna change it this time….I was in my office dealing with some pack matters, when I heard a knock on my door. Chris entered with the sorceress, Sonia. She was a tall, thin woman with long black hair and exotic

Jina's pov:-"Jina the Alpha wants to speak to you. He is waiting for you in the guest room" one of the guards informed me as I was sunbathing next to the pool. I like sunbathing and swimming in the pool and since no one comes here I enjoy it to the fullest. I am not going to change my habits just because Maximus preferred that idiot to be his Luna.-"I thought he had left. Anyway, tell him I'll be there in ten minutes" I replied and the guard left.I knew it! In the end he could not stay away from me. That minion can't give him what he wants. She isn't like me. She is absolutely stiff, cold and indifferent. By trying to look decent, you do not gain a place in a man's bed, especially if this man is Maximus! Poor girl how much I feel sorry for you, not! Ha ha ha....But why he preferred to send me a guard instead of mind linking me? And why does he want to meet me in the guest's room? Oh maybe it is one of his usual roleplay games. Oh! How much I’ve missed them! How much I’ve missed hi
Last Updated : 2022-07-07False Expectations Chapter 32 - Revelation
Adelina's pov:I woke up today feeling really tired so I decided to stay in my bed all morning. Although I had a great time yesterday it exhausted me. I still cannot believe it! If someone had told me two months ago that I would be spending my entire day with Maximus picnicking, talking and acting like a real couple, I would have thought they were kidding me or completely crazy. And now I'm here, I feel great that I spent the whole day with him. I couldn't be more confused. Has Maximus fallen for me or is it another plan of his to keep me around? And if it is one of his plans why is he doing all this? I have already accepted to be his Luna with all that entails. If I were him, I would spend my free time doing whatever I enjoy, like my hobbies. I wouldn't spend time having picnic with someone I used to reject. His behavior is so controversial. It doesn't make sense to me at all. Anyway the more I think about it the more confused I get. It's better to get up and get ready as I have arra
Last Updated : 2022-07-07False Expectations Chapter 33 - Misunderstanding
Adelina's pov:The sun was already set when I decided to return to my room after a wonderful day with my friends and my brother! I was walking through the garden enjoying the wonderful perfume of the flowers when I saw Nicolas sitting alone on a bench.-"Hey beautiful" he told me with a smile as I got closer to him.-"Hi Nicolas. What are you doing here all alone?" I asked him.-"Just looking at the stars" he responded daydreaming.-"I love looking at the stars! I used to do that with my dad!" I said excited.-"Αnd may I ask you who prevents you from doing it now? Come and join me" he said casually and continued staring at the sky.I sat next to him and for a few moments quiet prevailed among us. The night was magical with a sky full of stars and constellations and the scent of the night flower spread everywhere in the garden. Nature can be absolutely amazing in its every form. Only when we stay outside we realize how inextricably linked we are to it. It is our home and the only place

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
