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 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 ,

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
Author’s POVWhen next day in the morning Leia opened her eyes and saw Francois holding her in his arms, her heart stopped.“How did I get in his bed?” she asked herself, looking at him while he was snorting a little, huffing and puffing in a very sweet way. 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
Author’s POV“Is it true?” James asks, looking into Francois' eyes “You will let an animal take over your body, and you will start to howl at the moon as the rest of us?” and he mocks him for the way he acted at the beginning when he found that Leia is his mate, or worse when he realized that Vivi mated with Luke.“Is complicated,” Francois said. “But I would like that to happen.” and he watches Leia who is laughing with Lori and Meredith and tells them something. And for the first time he is frustrated for not being a werewolf, to have this handy ability called super hearing, that any werewolf has.“What are they talking about?” he asks James, who starts to listen attentively what the girls are talking and he just laughs, turning his face to Francois.“Believe me, Francois, you don’t want to know.” and he laughs.“They are talking about me, isn’t it?” and Francois looks in the direction where Leia is.“For your own sanity... listen to me.

We could watch a movie, eat something or just stay and talk, but you can come to me when this happens again.”“I don’t want to disturb you Francois” and she lets her head down, looking at her hands.“You are not. How many times
