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
Author’s POV“What did you do to her?” Landon said and jumping in the air put Max down in one single move, shocking everyone.In his youth he was the strongest and the most powerful alpha in the US and Canadian continent and there was none that could be a match for him. Now he is almost in his fifties but he is still damn strong.“She would neve leave like this. I know my daughter. She would never leave her daughter behind if she was fine. Bradley told me that she was fine when she came home, and I saw her a few hours ago. She was fine! She was ready to confront Manganiello and to meet with the rest of the alphas, so I am more than sure that you did something!” and he caught Max by his collar and beat him.The fact is that Max could beat him, or at least fight with him as an equal, because he feels remorse for the way he talked with Meredith. He knows that his father is right. He did something.“We had a fight about what she decided by herself that she will do tomorrow.” and he just f
Author’s POVNiagara Falls is not just a beautiful place. It is one of the few places where werewolves swore that they will not live. Why? Firstly because of the noise, they really hate the avalanche of water that never stops. Secondly , the tourists. Summer or winter it doesn’t matter, they are always there. So that is a big no again. And in the third place the place is haunted.You could say that there are no ghosts in the world, and I could agree with you, but some people said that there are no werewolves in the world and we know for sure that they are, so… never say never.“I hate this place,” Sam said and looked around. “So many stories , horror stories that I get goosebumps just thinkin' about it.”“ I chose this place exactly for that. Because we all hate this place and it is the last place where Manganiello would think that we will come.”“Do you think that they will help us?’ Francois said, looking at the empty clearing that surrounded them. ”Yeah, they will,” Max said , lett
Author’s POV“Tell me everything you know about hunters, Pete” Max said while the rest of the gang and all the alphas that came looked at him.“They will feel us when we will come closer to them. My father can feel a werewolf from one mile away.“Father?” an alpha from Mexico asked.“Yes , alpha.” Pete said with dignity. “I am Michele Manganiello’s son.” and everyone stood on their feet ready to kill him but Pete said.“I am a werewolf and I hate my father. All I want is this to end and serve my alpha!” and he looked at Max, without caring that on his back some of the alphas were making plans to kill him.“The hunters have an additional sense, if I could name it this way. Is not the smell it is something I can’t explain in words, but I would say that is similar with the mate bond. Their entire being reacts when they meet a werewolf. The more powerful a werewolf is, the more turned on the hunter becomes.”“So what are you telling us?” James asked. “If we wait for them there will they k
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. 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
“Hey, dickhead!” someone yelled in the middle of the training room;“Holy shit!” Kan, the sexiest wolf ever in the royal pack, growled.“I am going to kill her!” Elias said and turning around he sees Theo blinking at him and he almost falls from his own feet.Every time he is trying to woo a girl, miraculously Theo and Bella appear and ruin everything. 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.

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. 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? No, you can’t leave us!” and she starts to shiver, scaring Sam.“Take the babies!” he shouted and Leia and Francoise jumped from their seats and grabbed Elias and Be

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“I should punish you!” Grandpa Cruz said, pointing his cane to Meredith.“I am sorry, grandpa” she said and went to him and took the old man in a warm embrace.“You even took off the bracelet I gave you!” he said, pouting at her and making her smile.“And you know exactly why” and this time he looked him in the eye. “I thought that I was protecting you doing this”“Protecting my ass!” Vivi cried out. “We almost died here having a stroke because of you!”“I am sorry, sweetie,” Meredith said, smiling at her.“Don’t smile at me Meredith Cruz!” Vivi cried. “I was so stressed. If my baby wolfy will be agitated when he is born it will be all your fault!”“And let me guess” Max said laughing “You are the embodiment of calmness and tranquility.”“Of course, I am,” Vivi said, blinking her eyelashes and making everyone laugh.“Look,” Meredith said “I am really sorry, but at that moment it seemed the only option.

Author’s POV“Where is she?” James cried like a baby as soon as he arrived at Crescent Moon Pack. ”Where is Lori!” but he was stopped by Landon.“Will you calm down!” he said, catching his arms. “In this state you will scare the poor woman.”“You don’t get it dad!” He said “She was alone, she suffered and I could have helped her, holding her hand at least, to calm her wolf but I just missed the most important moment of our life.”“It’s my fault” Meredith whispered, coming closer ”I am so sorry James.” but seeing her like this and hearing her Max stepped between them.“Will you stop victimizing yourself?”And he is damned serious.“You!” he said commandingly and shocking everyone.“Lori loves you and you didn’t miss this because you were drunk in some bar , you were saving your sister's life. “ and turning his face to Meredith said in a more calm voice.“And about what you just said, darling.

You just stay there , like a very bored spectator analyze everything.Meredith just looks around her and she can’t ask herself:“Artemis, What the hell is going on?”“I will honestly say that I have no idea!” and Artemis activates all her senses fearing that there is some magic around.“Max...” Meredith whispers remembering that he is wounded and she runs directly to where he lays on the ground, helped by Sam and Luke.
