False Expectations

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

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

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

Adelina's pov: The days at the hospital went by very quickly but also very pleasantly with Alex doing every test he knew and always managing to make me laugh. Unfortunately, he didn't get to know why I was still anemic even though I was a werewolf. We may never know. I was discharged from the hospital and returned to my dim room. The first week was not difficult for me to follow Maximus’ rules due to the fact that my body was recovering and I preferred to stay in bed all day. But as the week went on and I began to feel well and healthy again, staying in my room proved to be very hard work for me. Fortunately, I didn't see Maximus again since the day he came to the hospital. I just can't understand him. If he had already chosen a woman for his Luna why did he bring me here? What was the reason that compelled him to reveal that we were mates that day to my pack? If he hadn't said anything then, probably no one would ever know. It's crystal clear to me from the way he treats me that I'

Adelina's pov: It's been two months since the initiation ceremony and I'm still trying to adjust to my new life. The good thing is that working at the hospital gave me the opportunity to meet new people and make more friends like Marisa, the Hospital's Executive Secretary. Marisa is 22 years old and we have a lot in common. Apart from being the same age, she's all alone here like me, having lost her parents in a rogue attack five years ago. Since then she has been under the protection of Maximus as she told me. Yes, I know, I would never have imagined that Maximus could care about anyone but himself, but apparently, against the odds, he does. The best thing is that we both have the same hobbies like shopping and working out. We became good friends very quickly and since then we spend most days together. As for Maximus, all this time I rarely see him. This is something I did on purpose. After much thought I've come to the conclusion that Maximus is a midsummer night's dream for me. I
