False Expectations Chapter 38 - Luna is missing
Maximus' pov: Two weeks have passed with a very busy schedule for me full of meetings and conversations with the Council and the other Alphas and I can't hide my joy that I am at home at last. I must confess that I am very satisfied with the outcome as many of the other Alphas embraced my ideas and proposals. The only thing that made me sad is that Adelina wasn't next to me and I really missed her. Unfortunately she hasn't returned from her old pack yet. At least it was comforting that all this time apart we managed to talk every night on the phone and I cannot hide my happiness about it. I found myself unable to sleep if I did not hear her voice saying good night to me.Unfortunately, those last few days I wasn't able to talk to her on the phone as I had a very busy program. If I want to be king I have to attend every meeting and maintain good relations with almost everyone. The only thing that bothered me was the so unexpected departure of Nicolas from the conference. He referred to
False Expectations Chapter 39 - New Order
Jake's pov: -"You must transfer Adelina from the dungeons immediately. What if the guards find her here? It's not what boss told you to do with her. He was very specific. You should send her to the forest, to the abandoned hut and imprison her there, not keeping her under our noses!" Leopold scolded. -"Watch your mouth Delta. Do not forget your position. You're talking to an Alpha. My decisions are infallible. How dare to defy me?" -"Don’t you see there is a great risk to find her here?" Leopold contradicted. -"Don’t worry. They won't. I have put my most trusted people to guard her". -"I hope you are right otherwise you know what the consequences will be." -"If there is nothing else you want to tell me, you can be excused. And do me a favor and don’t you ever come here again. You will raise suspicions". -"Your behavior is not what it should be. You know we have to stick to the plan and not improvise. The boss will go crazy if he finds out" Leopold contradicted. -"Enough! You s
False Expectations Chapter 40 - Drako is always present
Chris' pov: It's been two weeks since Adelina is missing and Maximus is in the same situation: drunk and moody in his office. He neglects all his responsibilities and drinks from the time he wakes up until the time he sleeps, if he manages to get any. I just cannot understand him. It is so obvious that Adelina was kidnapped. Why doesn't he see it and think that she is having an affair with another man? Some people are right when they say that jealousy is a man's worst counselor. However, I still have a small team looking for her without Maximus knowing anything about it. Unfortunately, we did not find anything. It is as if the earth swallowed her after her visit to her brother's office. I begin to suspect that Jake has her locked up somewhere in the pack house that’s why we can’t find her anywhere. Unfortunately we cannot search his pack without provoke animosity between the two packs! I was heading to Maximus' office to give him the invitation of the Council for the skirmishes tha
False Expectations Chapter 41 - Divine Intervention
Maximus' pov:I do not know what time it was but surely it was very early in the morning when my wolf woke me up in a very cruel and unpleasant way.-"I am too tired to get up and train Drako. Leave me alone" I tried to reason.-"You mean too drunk. Get up right now Maximus. I won't lose the chance to become the King of all werewolves because of your stupidity". -"How cold hearted are you Drako!? Aren't you hurt from Adelina's betrayal? How do you manage to behave as if nothing has happened?” I told him desperately.-"Adelina didn't betray us. You are too stupid to see the truth. Now get up or I will take the control of your body. Either way you can't get around me that easy".-"Ι hate you Drako. You always manage to piss me off."-"Ι'm very flattered Max. Now up!" he said and made me get up from my bed.In the following days, Drako left me no room for disagreement. He had already organized my daily life. Every morning I had to run 14 laps around the training field. Then I trained wi
False Expectations Chapter 42 - In a disadvantage
Adelina's pov:The door closed and the man approached me standing in front of me. He looked at me upside down with his piercing gaze. I raised my head and looked back. When I realized his identity I remained speechless. My mind was clouded and I could not articulate a single word. How could he be him?-"Hello dear! How nice to see you again. How are you feeling?" he said shamelessly interrupting my thoughts.-"You? What are you doing here?" I asked in surprise.-"Soon I am going to explain everything to you but firstly let me apologize for the way you came here as well as for the place they brought you to stay. Unfortunately the situation is such that I can not do otherwise. I hope you feel comfortable."-"Oh yeah.....He is so terribly sorry.....Why the fuss? The place is like a 5 stars hotel. Is he blind or is he just kidding us?" my wolf interrupted in my head.-"If you wanted me to be comfortable you could at least untie me. I promise I won't try to escape".-"Oh yes yes....I am re
False Expectations Chapter 43 - Searching for her
Maximus' pov: -"Demetrio I want you to prepare a research team of 100 warriors and 100 scouts asap. I want you all in ten seconds in the training field" I mind linked Demetrio as I wasn't able to find Chris. I have mind linked him for several times but I couldn't find him anywhere. It was like the land swallowed him up. -"Right away Alpha" he replied and I cut the link. I tidied up my office and prepared the things I would take for the research. I will find her at any cost. Sonia is right. I have to look for her in the forest. If she had left with another man I would have felt something. On the contrary, all these days I did not feel anything. Chris and Sonia were right from the beginning. Adelina is kidnapped because of me, because they want to hurt me. -"I was also right you know although I didn't hear you mentioning me. I told you from the beginning that Adelina did not run away. But of course the big bad Alpha was waiting for the goddesses' intervention to believe it" my wolf
False Expectations Chapter 44 - The list
Μaximus' pov:In the cabin there was an old table and some old chairs and half a damaged fireplace in the east corner. It was obviously deserted for years but we found evidence that someone was there a few days ago. We could not be sure if the person who stayed there was Adelina or someone else as the sense had already evaporated. We found some food waste, two torn black T-shirts and a half-broken bed. The cabin was in chaos. Certainly the man who was here was not human. How could a human survive in such a deserted and dangerous place?My men and I, scanned the entire area around the cabin to no avail. Unfortunately, we did not find anything else. There were no traces as the rain the day before has vanished them. -"Nothing, nothing, nothing at all. Where did she go? She could not have disappeared like that. I am sure I got her sense" Drako said frustrated in my mind.I didn't say anything. I was also very disappointed. At one point, I really thought we were so close to find her. Unfo
False Expectations Chapter 45 - Saved by the bell
Adelina's pov: "I realized that I was in the back seat of a car when I woke up. I looked around and saw about eight well fit men dressed in black sitting in the front seats. I unconsciously looked at my watch. I usually do it when I feel anxious. It was 7:30 in the morning. I must have slept all this time after the door was broken. I looked out the window. We were traveling in the forest. The road was a dirt road with tall trees on either sides of it. The vegetation was very dense and spread everywhere. -"What's going on? Where am I? Is it a dream?' I wondered. "You are in a minibus" my wolf answered me indifferently. -"Emmm” I cleared my throat and continued “I am sorry sirs. Where are we going?" I asked the men sitting in front of me but they didn't give me any attention. They didn't even spare me a single glance. Am I so invisible? -"Right. Again the men in black taking me somewhere......Nothing original" I told myself. -"Some people like bothering themselves. Why take you el

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
