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
Author’s POV"Are you alright?" Max asks Meredith while he drives to the place where he planned to take her for the rest of the day.“I don’t know, Max. I think I am, but…”and she looks out the car’s window at how the landscape changes. "Knowing that my first family died because of their status, because they were like some trophy for those damned hunters makes me feel sick.""They were too special and too powerful for our world." Max said, taking her hand in his hand to help her calm. " But grandpa said that they were very good people and never disturb anyone. ”"Yes ... they were nobody's kings, in a world where there was no place for them anymore. Do you think that they suffered because of that? Because they couldn’t act like king and queen? ” Meredith asks, her heart being tormented because of a lot of questions.“No. Your father had your mother with him, and they’ve got you. I would do anything to be somewhere only with you, to escape from all my responsibilities. So if you ask me
Meredith’s POV“If I ask you will you come with me for a run?” I ask Max. I am not afraid of anything but after the last run I don’t want to be alone while Artemis is in wolf form. I feel exposed. My wolf is pure white and is very unusual even for humans to see me.“I will come with you even at the end of the Earth. You don’t need to ask me ”Max tells me and he starts to take off his clothes. On his yacht we changed our clothes into something more comfortable and he came prepared with warm clothes, because here the weather is more cold. As a wolf we have no problem but as humans we need thick clothes.He just stays naked in front of me, grinning and he stretches out his hand to me.“I know that you like the view” he tells me “but you asked for a run and now Stark can’t wait for it. So if you want to have me during the night you must allow him to stay with Artemis during the day time. ”"What kind of deal is that?" I ask him and I start to take off my clothes and when I am also naked i
Author’s POV“Max” Meredith whispered as soon as she opened her eyes.“I am in the kitchen” he says and letting the coffee container he went straight to Meredith but when he sees her, he just sit near her and caressing her face asks:"You are very pale, are you sure you are fine?" and now he is very worried.“Yes, my love. It must be the stress of the day. I am not happy with what I found about my family roots and this trip, even though it is in paradise, it probably made me tired. ”"You're not lying to me?" he asks, analyzing each of Meredith's reactions.“No, Max” and she catches his hand and pulls him over her body.“Let me hold you for a few seconds” and she sits with him in her arms."When are we leaving this place?" and she is so sad at the thought that this will end so soon.“After we will have breakfast. I need to deal with Castellano and Veronica, and also to make a plan against those hunters. So as soon as we have our breakfast we will leave. ”“I like it here” and smiling
Max’s POV"She is giving birth, alpha!" That’s the last thing I heard and after that I don’t remember anything from the next ten minutes because I fainted like a damn coward.My woman is giving birth and I fainted! I feel like beating myself. Like straggling Stark because I can swear that he fainted before me."Alpha!" someone yelled at me and I felt some hands moving on my face but as soon as I opened my eyes, I lifted from the bed just to see Meredith boiling and squeezing her eyes at me.She cries in pain and tells me through her gritting teeth.“Maximillian Cruz! How could you? You fucking jerk! you made me pregnant and you didn’t said anything? And now you are fainting here? ”And I heard a nurse giggling but I frowned at her and immediately her smile disappeared. I am here in the biggest surprise of my life after I found that my mate is my ex-wife who is actually still my wife, and that nurse laughed?"How is this possible?" I ask the doctor. “We wanted a baby and in the last mo
Author’s POV“Olivia” Landon asks. “What is going on inside? Why don't they let us in? ”But Olivia just smiles and putting her hands over her face she said:“This is too much” and she starts to cry, scaring everyone. “I need air, Landon. Will you come with me outside? ” and he takes her in his arms immediately but Olivia stops him for a second and looking at the rest of the gang she just say:“She is fine, actually she is more than fine. Just give her some time to recover ”and Landon took her outside immediately. When she told her mate that their daughter was just giving birth to a baby girl, both of them stood in the middle of the backyard garden crying in each other's arms."Look at them," James said, pointing out the window at his parents."Something happened. I never saw my father crying. " i” and completely panicked he goes straight to Meredith’s bedroom."What are you doing?" Lori asks while Carter and Lisa follow him.They are sure too that tragic something had happened becaus
Author’s POVWith the help of Artemis in two hours Meredith was already healed and now being able to walk and regain her strength, she got out of bed."Hey!" Max suddenly yelled. “What are you doing? You should rest. You worked so hard to bring this little princess here, just sit and rest ”"She is a princess for real" Meredith said, coming near Max and putting her arms around his torso while he stays with Theo on his chest.“And her mommy is a queen,” Max said and looked directly into his mate's eyes.“Your eyes are a little bit changed” he whispers."What do you mean?" Meredith asks and wants to go to the bathroom to look in the mirror but Max stretches out his hand and stops her."They are more shining and they have golden sparkles through them. They are more beautiful than ever ”and pulls Meredith with him and sits in a comfortable armchair near the window. He helps Meredith to sit in his lap while Theo sits on his arm."I am afraid," he says after some time.And Meredith looks at
Author’s POV"Mer!" Cara uttered, coming near Meredith and looking at her a little bit scared. “How did you do that?”"Do what?" Max asks, turning his head to Cara and then looking back at Meredith.“She touch her head with her hand and command Veronica to stay still and she fainted directly”“I didn’t” and Meredith just stayed calm in her garden armchair, with a pouting face."She is sick and exhausted and probably fainted from emotions" and putting her hand on her chest she just said: "I am sick of all of this!"“I am sorry” and Max takes her hand in his hand but Meredith is so angry that she just takes her hand out from Max’s hand and says:“She said that my daughter is a bastard child. She was born today and already someone hates her in this world! ”"I will kill her!" Max growls immediately but Meredith just looks at him and says in a very commanding voice.“You will do nothing! That woman is your responsibility. You are still her alpha and she lost her mind because of you, Max.
