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. Just the fact that I am French and that I acted like damned stupid with Leia, but you know nothing about me!”“Calm down, Francois!” Luke said.“I will not! If I le
Author’s POV“Francois” Leia whispered as soon as they were in their house, from the back of Max’s garden. ”Are you sure that Max will not punish you for fighting against him?” and she cuddled in his arms on the sofa from their not so spacious but very homey.“He won’t” Francois said and took her and placed her in his lap, facing her, so that now she was with her legs on each side of his body.Leia placed her arms around his neck and leant her forehead on Francois’s forehead.“How can you be so sure about this? 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
Author’s POV“So?” Sam asked the next day while they were having their breakfast “What should we do with this alien alpha?” and Luke choked with water hearing him.“Sam! leave my brother-in-law alone or I will ask him to move your nose again and he started to laugh.“Keep dreaming,” Sam said, throwing him an ugly look.“He will start to train seriously “Max said, coming into the room with Theo on one arm and the other one around Meredith’s waist. 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
Author’s POV“Damn you, Francois!” Sam cried , sprawled out on the training mat.“Sorry, man!” and Franco just walked away from him.“He is like a bull! Max doesn’t hit so hard, he knows that we are not a match for him, but this jerk just uses all his force.”“She said that I can! 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’ve been there and I know what
Author’s POV“What’s with your face?” Meredith asked, seeing Max frowned.“MaxLine!” he said grumbling. “What can be so hard to have a proper secretary who can deal with my business!?!?”Meredith just looks at him and she knows exactly why he is acting like this but she can’t help it and says.“We can ask James to send Veronica back if you want to.”“Meredith Cruz!” Max screamed like a panicked woman and Meredith can’t hold it anymore and she is laughing her head off.“Why are you screaming like that, hubby?” She continues mocking him. “Did you just remember something about her?” and Max got up from his office, closed his laptop in a hurry and came directly to the sofa where Meredith stays making jokes about him.He lifts her in his arms and slips under her slim and fit body, so that now he is sitting on the sofa and Meredith lays in his lap and in his arms.“One!” Max said and kissed his mark on her neck. “Call James and I will punish you!”“I can’t wait for it!” Meredith blinked at
Author’s POV“Mr. Smith!” Max said coming in as an alpha as he is, making Mr. Smith bowing his head in front of him involuntary.“Mr. Cruz I see that you are a busy man” Mr. Smith said and he looks at Meredith who holds his arms and smiles at him politely“And you Mrs. Cruz are even more beautiful than I remembered “ and the man took her hand and kissed her , making Max growl.“What was that?” Mr. Smith jumped hearing him.“What was what?” Francois asked amused seeing him so panicked.“I hear something like an animal!” and Mr Smith starts to look around Max’s modern office.“Ohhh..” Francois says laughing. “That should be my phone ring!” and he takes off his phone and he mimics like he is playing on it and growls without opening his mouth.“See?” and he just smiles as if it was nothing. “It’s just a ringtone for my messages.”“Holy shit! It sounded so real!” Mr. Smith said but Francois just looks at Max and moves his head in a disapproving way.“I must confess” the man started “I was
Author’s POV“I'm not okay with this, Meredith!” Max said and he called her on her full name. He is damned furious right now and he can’t even look at her.“Max,” she whispered, leaving her blazer on their bed and walking to him.He just stays in front of the window, looking outside, with his hands on his chest and cursing the whole world.“Max, don’t act like that” she whispered and came behind him but he moved away from her and if he could he would strangle her.“I suggest you to stay away from me” he said without looking at her, and he starts to take off his suit, grabs some shorts and a shirt and walks directly to the bathroom leaving Meredith alone.“This scoundrel!” Meredith said with tears in her eyes. “How can’t he understand why this is a must?”“Because he is too afraid that this will end bad” Artemis said with a weak voce.“But even if I die, all those people I care about will live, Artemis. Why is he not able to understand that I could never live if someone will die becaus
Maximillian Cruz’s POV““I suggest you stay away from me?” Stark asked and he is so furious with me right now that you could say that he is possessed by a demon.“Why would she expose like that? Huh? Tell me if you are so smart, Stark? Why would she risk everything?” and I punched the glass wall from the shower so hard that immediately it went to pieces and my hand was full of blood.“Shit!”“You fucking bastard!” Stark growled. “ If she is upset because of you, I will break your legs!”“Which are also your legs?” I said and exited the shower, I took a towel wrapped around my wound.“I am damned scared , Stark. I am so scared that I will lose her tomorrow and this is something that is killing me. Only the thought that Manganiello could do something against her makes me go crazy.”“I am scared too “ and this time Stark is not growling at me anymore, “but this is not a reason to speak with her like this. You just rejected her, you stupid jerk. Go and talk with her”“She will cut my ball
