False Expectations (Editing)

Chapter 14 - Ignoring the Alpha

Adelina's pov:

The next morning I woke up alone in my bedroom. The sun has already risen and rays of light illuminated the room with the colors of the dawn. Although I feel extremely happy I cannot remember how I got here. All I remember was that I fell asleep after we made love last night.

Maybe he brought me here in the middle of the night and I thank him for that. If I continued to sleep on the couch, I would wake up feeling at least sore. My mind flooded with memories of the previous night where his sweet caresses and kisses adorned my body. Everything was amazing! He was tender, gentle, caring! Oh my Goddess! I feel so happy, so complete! I never imagined that Maximus could make me so happy after all these months of coldness and indifference. I never imagined he would be so caring and kind to me. I am sure that he has feelings for me. Then why did he treated me so badly? What was happening to him? Maybe he was going through a transition period. It was not easy for him to find his mate so unexpectedly. Maybe he couldn't handle the fact of how much I affected him. He was one of the most powerful Alphas after all.. Last night everything cleared up for me. For the first time he actually showed me his true feelings. He cared about me. Many times in the past I  discerned some kind of interest towards me. And concerning the fact that he always wanted so desperately to control my life..... Red flags were everywhere....I just couldn't see them.

Marisa proved to be right when she told me that Maximus probably has feelings for me but he was not able to demonstrate them. Who knows? The only truth is that no one makes love in a caring way if one doesn't feel anything for his partner. He cared for me and treated me like a princess. That says a lot about his feelings. He couldn't be pretending...Could he?

However I am a bit disappointed that he wasn't here when I woke up, but I know that being an Alpha is a very demanding job that keeps someone occupied 24/7.

When I saw the clock I got up quickly, did my daily routine and because I did not have time to have breakfast I headed straight to the hospital. I have not seen Maximus since yesterday and I have to admit that I miss him already. The day at work was very tiring and demanding.
I managed to return to my room late at night completely tired. I took a quick shower and started drying my hair with a towel when I heard a knock on the door. I looked at my watch. It showed 22:30! Who could be so late? I stopped what I was doing and headed to the door. I opened it and one of Maximus' guards was waiting at my door. He told me that Maximus was waiting for me in his office. I got dressed as fast as I could and followed him to Maximus' office. In the meanwhile, I met Jina in the hallway. She gave me a disapproving look which I ignored. She didn't look well....

-"What is she doing here?" my wolf wondered.

-"Maybe Maximus told her about us and divorced her" I said to my wolf "Oh my Goddess, finally my dream is coming true! I will finally be able to be with my partner without any obstacles in our way! I knew it! He couldn't deny the bond for long" I exclaimed in happiness filled with hopes.

I reached his office and knocked on the door happily. Maximus' hoarse voice was heard from inside telling me to come in, which I did. He sat behind his desk reviewing some documents. When I got in he raised his head and looked directly at me. His beautiful gray eyes scanned me upside down making me feel uncomfortable, shy. Those eyes that were filled with so much care and love yesterday! I looked back at him giving him a wide toothy smile. He signaled me to approach. I took a few steps closer to his office, sat in one of the armchairs greeting him warmly.

-"Good evening Maximus! How was your day?" I told him smiling. I was really happy to see him. I have completely missed him all day! How weird the bond works..... After our love making the connection between us intensified.
