All Chapters of False Expectations: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

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

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

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

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

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
