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 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 1 - The family meeting
Adelina’s pov:-"Today is a very important day for our pack. I would appreciate if all my children were beside me when Alpha Maximus Drako arrives. I want us to make a very good impression. We have to earn his alliance as he is the most dominant candidate for the royal throne. Jake you will be with me during the meeting while the girls will be responsible for the reception and the accommodation of the Alpha" our father told us early in the morning during our breakfast.-"But father, I would like to be present in the meeting. I want to show him our economical projects and my ideas about it." I interfered.-"Don't worry my sunshine Jake will show him everything. You know the Alpha's opinion about women and politics. We wouldn't like to irritate him, would we"?-"I suppose it’s ok father. I wouldn't do anything to jeopardize the future of our pack".Our father is very anxious about this meeting and I know why. This isn't only about the announcement of Jake as the Alpha of the pack that t
False Expectations Chapter 2 - The acquaintance
Maximus’ pov:-"I am very glad that the future King will be in the coronation of my son! It's really a great honor Alpha Maximus. I would also like to discuss a very important issue with you if you give me the time your Majesty" the Alpha of Crescent Moon pack said.I am so bored from this attitude of the former Alpha. I want people to tell me what really bothers them without all these compliments and formalities. Little they know that with this way they aren't going to gain anything from me. In addition, my wolf is acting weird and this disorganizes me. He is getting restless by the minute. I don't know what got into him but I’m sure it can’t be anything good.As the Alpha's rumbling continued, a wonderful smell hit my nostrils of jasmine and gardenia. It was the most pleasant scent my nostrils have ever caught. I felt my wolf taking over while my eyes scanned the meeting room. It was then that my eyes caught her, a petite brunette. She was standing at the door ready to enter. She wa
False Expectations Chapter 3 - Alone with the tempered Alpha
Adelina's pov: The next morning came too quickly. All night, I tossed and turned in my bed, unable to sleep. I woke up feeling numb, completely paralyzed. I didn't want to leave my pack. I had projects to run. I had life here. I wanted to be present when we were going to implement my economic plan. All my friends and family were here. I loved my life here and I didn't want to change anything. I preferred to stay here rather than leave with him. But all these will belong to the past in a few hours. My life is going to change radically and unfortunately I do not have the power to prevent it. I can't continue whining about this anymore. I must go on. I must adapt to my new life. Maybe I am overreacting. Maximus doesn't look so bad. Maybe Stella was right after all. Yesterday he was so demonstrative with his emotions. He hugged me and kissed me as a true mate would do. Maybe it will eventually work out. I just have to try and keep faith that everything is going to be fine, right? A knoc
False Expectations Chapter 4 - Rules
Adelina's pov:Hours pass very quickly when someone is in a car and finally we arrived in the country of Maximus. My feelings were many and different. Joy and sorrow fear and hope filled my heart at the same time. Will I be able to find my happiness? Will this relationship work between us? Several questions about my future life occupied my mind. I was so overwhelmed by my thoughts about what my life would be like from now on that I did not realize that we had reached the Drako pack.We parked outside a very big house, or better should I say a royal palace. That place was huge with big Babylonian gardens, pool, big garages, tennis courts, football field, and basketball court and so on. Maximus immediately got out of the car without waiting for me, while I kept staring at the beauty of everything. He didn't even look at me. That worried me somehow... "Maybe he has a lot to deal with and that's why he is in a hurry. He was away too long. There has to be many issues pending" my wolf inter
False Expectations Chapter 5 - Imprisonment
Maximus' pov: I can't believe that this woman is my mate..... She is so weak, so pathetic. She didn't even try to defend herself. How she would be able to be the Luna of my pack? She is completely unsuitable for this position -"You are overreacting. Do not underestimate her. I feel her wolf, she's strong!" my wolf reasoned. -"Yeah...whatever. You can't convince me with just a hunch when the facts show the opposite". A knock on the door interrupted my conversation with Drako. The door opened and Gina's seductive scent filled the room. Gina appeared wearing a very tight black dress that fitted her body and revealed all her assets... She is very hot and also the strongest she wolf in my pack. That's the woman my Luna deserves to be, not that poor Adelina who can't even defend herself! -"Sure she is a very capable…… gold digger.....You forgot to mention that she is the most self-seeker she wolf in the pack" Drako interjected and as always I ignored him. I wasn't going to let him ruin
False Expectations Chapter 6 - New friend
Adelina's pov: The days go by very slowly and boringly when you are a prisoner. I spent most of my time sleeping and resting to regain my strength. The whole time here, my thoughts were pessimistic and dark about my future in this pack. This was no way of life. These rules were absurd! The whole thing was absurd! Staying here under these conditions was absolutely madness! Although I grew up disciplined, I was always free in acting, thinking and living. I don't think I will ever be able to adjust to this oppressive new life. The day my sentence ended as the guards informed me, came. Two guards picked me up and carried me to my room. I couldn't walk even if I wanted to. I had four days to eat. For the past few days, the guards only brought me one bottle of water a day and nothing else. Since then I have been involuntarily fasting thanks to our generous Alpha! When the guards left me alone in my room, I used all my strength to get up and take a quick shower. I was so dirty I stank.

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
