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
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. Take that girl and make her yours. She is a g
Author’s POVNext morning when everyone gathered for breakfast and Francois came too he looked directly to the place where Leia usually sit but she is not there.“She’s in her room,” Luke said. “She said that she didn’t sleep well last night and that she needs a few moments to get back to normal, to put some makeup on her face because she was not looking well.”And Francois' heart thinned , she had a nightmare again.“I will be back in a minute” he said and runs upstairs and as soon as he is in front of her door he hears her weeping, and he doesn’t lose any minute and enters her room without knocking.“You dreamed about that shit again?” he asks her and gets in bed near her.“Yeah” and she takes a deep breath trying to calm herself.“You should have come 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
Author’s POV“Are you going somewhere, Luke?” Pete Silverstone asks and another two warriors come near.'Do you have any plans this weekend?’ Mark Dickens, another top warrior asked. “I saw you didn’t schedule any training, and we spoke about this, that we will train on the weekend too, until those hunters are out from the picture.”“Leia will marry this weekend so there will be no training. Call everyone and tell them that they are free.” and Luke wants to go but Pete asks again.“Where is the wedding ? to know where to bring my present.”And Luke stops and watches him. Shit! in front of him are his top warriors in their field and very trustworthy. Yet, seeing them so eager to find all the details about Leia’s wedding he remembers Meredith’s words.

Everyone loves him and he is a great guy, always polite, ready to help the pack members.“Something doesn’t suit here!” Carter said and looking at Grandpa Cruz asked:“What do we know about him?”“He has been in this pack since he was little, and if I am not wrong he has been here for eighteen years.” Grandpa said. “I found him a few months after I found Meredith. At that time I even made a joke saying that I am the stork that brings children to this pack.”“One of the hunters said that Manganiello had a child with a female werewolf, that he kept the child and killed the mother.” Meredith said, looking at Carter. “Maybe he is that child sent here to spy on us.”“Not on us, sweetie,” grandpa said. “On you. All this time he looked for you.”“But he lied to his father today,” Luke said. “I've heard him talking with him and he didn’t tell him anything, I thi

And for Max, Alpha Wheeler reserved the most spacious studio , with a flat-screen cable TV, a seating area and a fireplace, and the cherry of the top, a big hot tube, that reminded Meredith of their nest love in Tofino, that now is history because of Michele Manganiello.The grooms also received similar room with the one Max and Meredith have, while the rest of the gang received some classic rooms with king sized beds , but everything look luxurious and perfect, so everyone is happy.Max installed the crib for Theo and as soon as
Elias left his own party and as soon as he was outside, his mate's fragrance became more subtil.“Can you find her, Kan?” and his heart is small like a flea.“Yes, I am the best tracker , I will find her no matter how much time it will take.”“I am scared,” he said. “I was more than sure that I will not find my mate tonight, it seemed so impossible to me. 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.

He loves Bella with all his heart , being his twin, but Theo brooked her head.Yes, that’s what he is saying daily. If she wouldn't be such a good friend with Theodora Cruz , he is sure that she would have been a perfect little girl. But no, she had to have as bestie the one and only: the princess of the werewolves, the absolute perv and scoundrel girl that ever existed.“She’s just like that great grandfather of hers, man!” Kan said, gritting his teeth.“No wonder she didn’t find her mate, and who'll be able to stand her?” and he looks at the sky and raises a prayer.“Thank you Goddess, because you protected our race and left her matel

You are pregnant for the goddess ‘sake! “ and he ran to catch her because as soon as she put her foot down the helicopter , she sprinted to the Royal Packhouse as if there were some Christmas promotions and she won't find anything if she doesn't hurry up.“Vivienne Navarro!” Luke yelled seeing her like that.“Cassel” Francoise said ,coming from behind, while he was holding hands with Leia.They had their alpha and luna ceremony, to the shock of the entire pack , that is still processing the fact that Max is not their alpha anymore.“What?’ and Luke keeps an eye on Vivi but he can’t stop from looking at Francoise as well.“She is still Cassel, if you forget that.

I didn’t ask for this.” Meredith said in the end.“Mer” James whispered. “It’s your destiny!”“No , James . Is it not” She said with tears in her eyes.“I can build my own destiny, with my own thoughts and decisions. I don’t need a gang of alphas to come and tell me that suddenly I am their queen and that I need to live somewhere else. They don’t deserve me! They abandon my family!” and she bursted in tears.“WHAT?” Cara asked, jumping from Sam’s lap and almost dropping the babies on the floor.“What queen?

What if we made plans for nothing,” and she touched her lower abdomen closing her eyes.“Hey, look at me” and Max pulled her to his chest and lifted her chin and kissed her lips.“You have me, no matter what's going on, you have me and you will always have me no matter what. I am yours forever. Am I clear? We are together in this.

Author’s POV“What the hell was that?” an alpha asks looking slack-jawed at Meredith.“Holy goddess!” that’s not possible. “We came here to fight and kill that jerk, who hunts our brothers all over the world and she just killed him with two punches?” another one asked Max.“That’s my mate!” Max said with a lot of pride and he ran directly to Meredith and lifted her in his arms, forcing her to put her legs around his waist in front of all these alphas.“I love you, Meredith Cruz!” and he is not waiting for her response, he just kissed her, he kissed her with passion.“Will you forgive me for being so stupid to talk with you like I did yesterday?”“No. I will not” Meredith said calmly. “Actually” and she just watches his reactions.Max’s heart stops.“You can’t leave me!” Max said in a very commanding way making everyone around to laugh, and an alpha from Europe just says with a very funny accent:“Leave him, please!
