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?

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

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.

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!
