Author’s POV"Attack her!" Manganiello yelled as hard as he could from his human lungs. "You can wound her but don't kill her, she would be mine!!!"Meredith is in her wolf form and gives the hunters a big growl. She just looks around at their weapons."If there is any wolfsbane, I can annihilate its effects but if anything will happen to Max, I'm doomed!" Artemis said."I know" and growling again at those hunters, showing her fangs."Attack her!" Manganiello yelled again. "What are you looking for?"And one of the hunters, encouraged by Manganiello's roars, rushes towards Meredith, trying to injure her with a dagger."Let's test something." Artemis said and she let the hunter come closer and when he lifted his hand to hurt her she caught him under her paws and said:"Stay still!" but the man didn't react to her."Shit, this is only for werewolves?" and having no other choice pulls his head off his shoulders and walks away from him."Who's next?" she asks while the rest of the hunters
Author’s POVAll the way back to the packhouse Max stayed near Meredith, with his head on his lap, while the doctor was monitoring the state of health."He will be alright, it was a bullet full of wolfsbane and almost hit his heart, but now he is out of any danger, Luna, don't worry about him.""Did you hear the doctor?" Max asked her. "Stop worrying about me. I'm fine!""You are not fine, Max! You almost died today and you scared me." and Meredith leans down and kisses him. "I almost lost you.""And I almost lost you too, if you hadn't been the coolest luna I ever heard of" and Max smiles and purse his lips lightly so that Meredith can kiss him."Do you need something, hubby?" She asks him in a very funny way, blinking her eyelashes at him."Yes, I need a kiss. My mother told me when I was little that if I hurt myself and she would kiss me, I would get better, so I need a kiss!" Max said, trying to laugh but his chest started to hurt immediately."Then I must call mom, to wait for yo
Author's POV"How are things between you and Leia?" Meredith asks him while she goes to Luke's condo to take Theo."She hates me, and I love her. And please, talk with grandpa Cruz, because I know that he is the one behind, to stop sending me flowers. All my employees think that I am gay, not that this should be a problem, but I am not. Two of my directors started to woo me. ""What did he do?" Meredith asks, laughing hard."Besides the flowers and chocolates he sends me every day? Not much. He hired a mariachi band to serenade me. He sent me tickets to the Vancouver Canucks hockey team game this weekend, he even sent me a t-shirt to come there as a fan.”"This is sweet," she said laughing."It would be more funny if he wouldn't do it on behalf of Leia who has nothing to do with what Grandpa is doing."So you love her?" and this time Meredith looks straight into his eyes."With all my heart. I was stupid, Mer. I never knew how cool it is to be a werewolf. I thought that you are savage

Did you miss me too?” he asks her , kissing her little fingers.“Your daughter just received her first invitation for a date from a young man.”“Who was it? I will break his legs!” Max said in panic “No one is taking my little girl away from me!”“Oh, but this guy is reliable, and he is handsome and has a lot of money. Is the perfect match for her.” Meredith mocks him.Max looks at Meredith in horror and ho
Author’s POV“Wait for me!” Grandpa Cruz yelled running, or better said walking like an agitated snail with his fluttering eyes, “I am coming too!” And all this time Auntie Jen laughed.“I’ve never been to a hockey game! I am so excited, “ she said making grandpa happy.“How did you get so many tickets when they were all sold out?” Vivi asked, looking at Meredith.“Are we telling her, grandpa?” Meredith's asked and started to laugh.“Better no!” Grandpa said with a funny face. “This will be my secret” but the truth is that the old man is a big fan and he has his own private box at the Rogers Arena, but all this time he went there alone.“I can’t wait to go there and see all those muscular and yummy boys!” Vivi said, rubbing her hands.“What muscular guys?” Luke asked in horror.“You know, love, those ones with a stick and a puck. Hello!!! You are going to watch a hockey game and know nothing about this sport?” Vivi asks with a frowning, quizzical expression.“I know what hockey is, bu
Author’s POV“Mr. Cassel, Mr. Cassel!” the reporter yelled as soon as they exit Rogers Arena, and crowded the whole gang.Francoise just looks at them and doesn’t know what to say but Leia is sneaking behind Francoise and says loud enough to be heard by the reporters.“ Here you were! I looked for you everywhere!” and she takes his hand in hers, being marveled by the tingles she feels.“Mr. Cassel, who’s the lady?” a reporter asked and just before Francoise was able to say anything else , Leia kissed him directly, with the tongue because Francoise was with his mouth wide open.And man! She kissed him until his legs became like jelly, Leia being a werewolf and Francoise just a human, the man was not a match for her.“I am his fiancée !” Leia said.“It is true Mr. Cassel.” but Francoise just nodded and left the building in a rush, while the reporters took Meredith and Max into target and started to run after them.Those two have been front page news for weeks.“So sweet!” Vivi yelled ,
Author’s POV“How is it, Leia?” Meredith mindlink her, expecting some good news.“I will sleep here tonight, he is not coming to the packhouse tonight because he has to work.” and Meredith feels a little bit of frustration in her voice.“What happened?” she asks her directly.“Are you sure he loves me, and that he wants me back?” Leia finally spoke. “He doesn’t seem to be involved in this. And he doesn’t even look at me.”“He is, I know him better than you do. Francois is a quiet soul, not one for displaying his emotions. Leia, you must be patient.”“I will, Mer. He is worthy for my efforts. I will fight to bring him back in my life, I was a fool to accept his rejection.”“No, you were not! You were scared and hurt by what he said at the beginning but now you know where you stay and you want him , so fight for him, Leia!”“I will” she said and exited her bedroom wearing just a T-shirt borrowed from Francois, which goes a little over her ass, leaving her long legs in sight.She looks f

His gray-blonde hair falls on his face and he is just adorable.She tries to lift his arms from her waist but he is gripping his arms around her, holding her captive.“Is he really sleeping?” she asked her wolf.“He seems so” her wolf said and she looks at him , analyzing his every breath.“He is not! He’s just pretending to be asleep!” Leia said and pinched him by his arm and he started to snore more loudly.“Francois Cassel,” she said, “I know that you are just acting. Open your eyes or I will kick you in your bal..”“No,” he said, opening his eyes and puts his hands between his legs. “Not my babies.”“What babies?” Leia said looking at him like he just said the stupidest thing in the world.“Those" and he pointed between his le

I fuck up royally, man”“We both did.” Kan said “Let me focus” and he looked to the shore area and started to walk after her.“Elias!” suddenly one of his whores called him and jumped in his arms. “I have a gift for you!” she said and tried to touch him in his intimate parts, but Elias caught her hands and pushed her a little without harming her.“There is no need.” And he looked around .Suddenly this girl's smell makes him feel sick.“Did you find your mate?’ the girl asked. “ Whoever she is, I can be better.
