Author’s POV"What do you mean that Luke didn't come home?" Max asked in the evening when the dinner should have started already."He didn't!" Sam said a little bit worried. “Vivienne came a few hours ago and took some clothes and left but Luke is nowhere to be found. I tried to mindlink him but he is not responding at all ”"Shit!" Max said and looking at Meredith asks. "Can you call Vivienne, or mindlink her, or anything else you can do because Luke is missing." Meredith tries to contact her but Vivienne ends the call."She is now answering!" and looking at Max she thinks of something and says."Come with me, she will respond to Francois's calls." and she starts to run to Leia’s room where Franco sleeps near her in bed, holding her hand in his hand."Franco," Meredith said, trying not to scare him.“What happened” he asks but when he sees Sam, Max, Cara and Meredith around him his heart stops."Where is she?" Francois said, jumping out of bed and starting to tremble with panic.“We
Author’s POV"Luke!" Vivi yelled with all her lungs looking for him but he was nowhere to be found."Where the hell is Sarah’ grave?" Meredith asks, looking around. Is almost night and to be in a cemetery at this hour is really creepy even for a werewolf."I believe it's on the ester side, let's go!" Max said and sniffing the air he said “Leia was right, he is here”"Yes," Meredith approves. "Artemis feels his presence too." and mindlinking Max she said “And he is still alive. I was afraid because he would try something ”“Never. Luke is not that kind of guy. He takes everything with dignity. Fights and tries everything but when he loses, he never stops hoping. Knowing him, tomorrow he will probably have taken the next flight to Paris ”And Meredith smiles at Max.“I love him even more for that” and Max looked at her but he knew what she meant. She loves these people. They are now her people, her closest people in her life after her family, it is normal to love them and care for them.
Author’s POV"Do you think she's sick?" Max asks, looking at Vivi.She just stays in the garden, in a shady swing, with her eyes closed, as if dreaming."No," Meredith said with a smile. “But I think that is the first time in her life when after so much time she is truly happy. Is good to see her like this. Francois only told me about Vivienne before the attack. Vivienne who was kind and calm. Vivienne who was shy. Look at her Max .. ”Meredith said.“I don’t know what to say, Mer. She seems sick. If you ask me now, I think I prefer the naughty and sassy Vivienne. ”They stay in Max’s office from the packhouse and just look at Vivi, and when they see Luke coming and taking her in his lap, caressing her inexistent belly, both of them felt a huge void in their hearts, but none of them said anything."When did James say he was coming?" Max asked, looking at his watch."He should have been here by now." and she looks again at the window."I want a baby too, Artemis," she said to herself. “
Author’s POV"Where the hell is she?" and Max almost punched James in the face. "How could you let her go by herself knowing that that bitch came after her?"“Son, calm down. I was there too and she just transformed and ran in the forest. She was very upset. ” Carter said while Lisa stayed near him and cries in his arms.“Do you think that something happened to her?” Lisa asked and all the girls in the room almost faint at this thought.“Is she wearing your grandma bracelet?” Grandpa Cruz asked after some time.“Shit! You are a genius, Grandpa! ” Max said and ran into his office, took his laptop and started the GPS tracker."She ..." Max said, looking at Grandpa Cruz."Where the fuck is she?" Cara asked, jumping up from her chair and holding her belly.“She is here” Max said and leaving the laptop he goes to the first window from where he can see what happens in the garden.“Shit! Shit! Shit! ” and doesn’t say anything else but runs in an instant, pushing those around him.James also
Author’s POVAs soon as everyone calmed down they gathered around the table, being late and already skipping over dinner because they looked for Meredith all evening. Auntie Jen since she mated with grandpa Cruz is not helping in the house anymore because the old alpha is just a little scoundrel and said that he does not have too many years to live on this Earth. He already lost ten years with her for being undecided and doesn't want to lose not even a second with her.So Auntie Jen now just stays near grandpa, just holding his hand at every step and she likes it so much that she didn’t even blink when Meredith told her that she is banned from the kitchen. The only one who reacted was Grandpa Cruz who just yelled from all his lungs:“I told you, Max! I told you that she is just perfect for you! ”“You mean for you grandpa!” Max laughs seeing grandpa so excited. "It seems to me that my luna is like your personal fairy and she fulfills all your wishes!"So tonight, they are just staying
Author’s POV“Max” Luke mindlinks him just after everyone went to their room to sleep. “Can you come to my condo? I am in deep shit!”“If Vivienne wants to try that three-shit that she was always talking about when we met, I am sorry but I am not coming!” Max said laughing.“She is pregnant, man! I mean she wouldn't have asked for that even if she wasn’t ,she was just fooling around with you to annoy you. But I need your help and I need it quickly ”Max just looks at Meredith, who exists the bathroom in a Lace Plunge Slip from Victoria's Secret, that is called Tropic Paradise, and he just stops and looks at her with his mouth open and he closed his eyes, catching the bridge of his nose and swears in his mind:"I swear I have the most idiotic beta and gamma on the Earth, Stark! If he is calling me for nothing I will kick his ass!” Max said and opening his eyes he looks at Meredith coming towards him smiling."What happened, darling ?" she asks and puts her arms around his neck, pecking
Author’s POV“Good morning my love!” Max said, taking Meredith in his arms and cuddling with her."It's already morning?" Meredith asked still with her eyes closed, pouting her lips at Max. He pulled her closer to him and kissed her lips immediately.“Yes, it’s already morning, but it’s already ten in the morning, '' he said laughing while Meredith jumped down from the bed.“What !!!?!?” she asks in panic, “I have an important meeting with a client in one hour” but seeing Max's face she just takes the pillow and hits him in the head."You are horrible, you know?" .“Come here” he said and signaled her to sit in his lap."Are you alright?"“I am, Max. I had a tough day yesterday but it is already a new day and I can only hope for better isn’t it? ” and she put her head on his chest."As long as I have you, it's still a good day" and she lifts her head just a little so she can look straight in his eyes. ""I love you" Max said "I love you with everything I have.""It's nice to hear you
Author’s POVAt the office things went smoothly because Meredith was just talented and modest and impressed with every project she had. Today someone sent by Mr. Smith from the contest came to make a deal with MaxLine , to provide him an exclusive collection.“The truth is that you were like a big investment” Max said, coming near her when everything finished with their new client."Excuse me?" Meredith asks, putting her hand on her chest.“Your scholarship in Paris, your friendship with Francois Cassel, you winning that fantastic contest as an employee of MaxLine… All this, darling was a fantastic investment”“If you say so” she said exiting the elevator while Max follows her and goes straight to her office.“Shit, I missed Cara, and Vivi is not here today because she needs to be pampered by Luke while I am staying here alone all day.""Stay with me in my office," Max said.“No. What will our employee think? That I am a jealous woman and that I follow you everywhere? “Max closes the
