Author’s POVAll the men , joined by Carter and Grandpa Cruz and also Meredith, were in Max’s office looking at the poor Francois who doesn’t understand anything.“I don’t understand,” Grandpa Cruz said. “He is an alpha? A real alpha? Just as I am or my son or you?’“Yes, grandpa!” Max said very seriously. “ Don’t ask me why because I don’t understand either how something like this is possible but after I married my mate, divorced her and found her again just to realize what I’ve done. After I found out that she is a primordial wolf and more than that, she is a royal, believe me, none of this is any surprise to me.”“What should we do? He can’t stay here as an alpha!” Carter said with authority. An alpha needs a pack.“I need nothing!” Francois said. “With all the respect Mr. Cruz” he continued. “You know nothing about me.

You know nothing about an alpha’s pride. What you did, Francois is unforgivable.”“Then it must be the fact that I am an alpha too, but he said that we are fine and I believe him, love. If not for his word for Meredith’s. She will never let him go against me. What we have together is beyond any family ties”And Leia’s heart becomes uneasy. She distanced herself from Francois just a little so that now she can watch him and scared she asked.“You two have been together?”She just

He sits in his place and pulls Meredith on one leg and baby Theo on the other one, making her lay on his abdomen and watch the whole gang.“Let me hold hre!” Lisa said and took her and Max took advantage of the situation and now Meredith is totally in his lap, feeling him how he reacts at her touch.“I will not train with this brute!” Sam said.“Ohhh”Luke started to laugh “Our beta is scared?”“I am not!” he almost screamed but he annoyed me yesterday when he objected in front of Max.”“He didn’t want to, his wolf was the one who stayed strai

So I did it” Francoise said, pointing to Meredith.“Will you stop crying all day, Sam?” and this time Meredith is already annoyed. “Next time you will fight with me, and I promise you that I will show you what force means!”“He was joking, Mer!” Cara said coming in with Elias and Isabelle in her arms but seeing her Sam jumps on his feet as if that mat burned him.“Cara!” Sam suddenly yelled and leaving Franco alone he runs directly to his mate and took the babies from her arms.“Why are you carrying them? What if you get tired?” and he holds them but his eyes are on Cara.“Sam, you are overreacting,” Vivi said.“I am not! She made a lot of effort to bring them into this world.

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. I can offer you more”Elias just watched her .“Why did I sleep with this girl?” Elias asked.“Fuck me if I know.” and Kan w

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

Even the girls are here , wondering what is going on.The boys are serious and no one speaks.“Who died?” Vivi asked but the girls just looked at her while their mates continued to stay mute.“I don’t want this. 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.
