Author’s POVAfter the spirits calmed down, all the gang went to the venue where the participants waited for the designation of the winners.Max is no longer interested in the contest. What he gained by coming to Washington is beyond anything the fashion world could offer him."I am nervous!" Meredith says softly, shaking his hand.“There is no need to be emotional. The pressure of the contest went honestly after I saw all the creations, which apart from yours have nothing to do with the theme, it really doesn't matter anymore. It's like comparing apples to pears. “"The thing is that I want to make MaxLine’s name shine." Meredith said and this time she smiles at Max, who puts his hand lightly on her cheek."I am MaxLine and believe me, you made me proud.""You are subjective, Max. You are happy for… you know what for… and now the contest is not important anymore ”says Meredith disapprovingly.“You will see, Mer” and he kissed her lips. "You will see that at this moment emotions have
Author’s POV"Where have you been?" Cara and Vivi ask, jumping directly on Meredith as soon as she enters the rented house."We stopped for a while to admire the landscape," Meredith tells them quickly, but Vivienne puts her hands on her hips and looks at her, grinning stupidly."Don't!" Meredith tells her, looking at her threateningly and pointing her finger to her."I knew it!" Vivienne said and holding out her hand to Cara she said."Give me my fifty bucks!" and Cara is just disappointed and looking at Meredith said.“You owe me fifty dollars, Mer. I had trust in you that you will never do it in a car! ”"You two are horrible!" Meredith said laughing and immediately fled the floor searching for Lori but she came face to face with Leia, who is very pale and is trembling.The rest of the gang is on the outside patio laughing and preparing a grill, and celebrating winning the grand prize.As a human, Francois Cassel is a celebrity and he is everyone's attraction tonight, just Max is r
Author’s POVMax laughs with James as they spin the steaks on the grill when suddenly Stark starts to shake."Max, I need to see our mate!" he said, almost howling in pain."She is with the girls" Max said trying to calm him down and looking around he sees that Leia and Cara are not here."Where is Cara?" Max asks Sam, seeing him as he laughs with Francois and Luke, while Vivi keeps moving in Luke's lap.Sam stops and looks around, as if trying to concentrate and suddenly Max sees him frowning."Shit!" Max said and throwing the grill utensils he starts to run and tells James.“Something happened!” and lets Stark take control and transform in the middle of the patio into a huge black wolf, making Vivi and Francois frightened.Sam does the same because right now he is more than sure that Cara suffered something.They enter the house and start to search while James and Lori follow them.Luke puts Vivienne down saying with fear“Something happened and is about Meredith, stay here please!”
Author’s POV"Did you find anything?" Landon asks as soon as he arrives in Washington, at the house that Max rented, and looking around he said:"This place is a fortress. How the hell did they get in here? Something doesn’t make sense! ”“I would have chosen this place too, if I were Max. So I don't understand, how did they get in? "Carter, who came with Landon, tells him.“How did you find this place?” Landon asked, looking straight into Max’s eyes.“It’s one of the contest organizer’s venues. They used it two years ago and I knew the location. I rented the house from them, because this year was too small to host the event. ”"That was a niche, somehow Castellano must have stolen a key!" Landon said and immediately took out of his bag the laptop he had brought with him."What are you doing?" Max asks him, looking at what he is doing.“This time we came prepared, son. After her first kidnapped, Grandpa Cruz, Carter and I made a plan so that this will never happen. But it seems that y
Meredith’s POV"Oh my goddess!" I say as soon as I open my eyes.I feel like I'm in a cave here. There is no window, just a flickering light bulb. What is here? Am I in a warehouse?“Yeah! Oh my goddess! ” Veronica said, laughing in my face.This is not good at all if she is here. I get up slightly and sit on my ass trying to look around.I know that I can beat her, but right now I feel dizzy so I shut up my mouth.“Why are you looking at me like that?” she asked me.Something is not right about her. She was never a normal person and her reactions should have been a question mark for those around her, but still, now is something more.She is very pale. She lost a lot of pounds and her gaze is somehow lost.“Veronica” I say when my mind is clear “Are you alright?”She just looks at me as if nobody ever asked her how she feels, if she needs anything or anything related to her condition.“Of course that I am alright” she said but in an instant she runs into the corner of the room and tak
Meredith’s POV"Oh my goddess!" I yelled, clasping my hands in the makeshift bed I was sitting on.The pain is unreal. I feel like something is crushing me, even the mere fact that I'm sitting on this bed hurts me."Help me!" I yelled in panic. "I can't breathe!"“Please, somebody help me!And just then the door opens and I see Federico Castellano entering, I want to tell him something but instead of words a strong growl escapes from my mouth, making him mute."Shit!" he just said, looking at my neck.“This piece of shit bite you and run?” and I see him laughing and trying to come near me, looking at me like I am his prey.“Craig !!!!” he yells and when Vincenzo's beta enters and sees me he stops in the door frame."What the hell did you do, Vincenzo?""Help me put her down!" Federico said. "I want to mark her as mine!"And hearing him I start to struggle more, and as I move more, every cell in my body seems to shake and force me to transform.“It hurts too much!” I yelled again when
Author’s POVAs soon as Max heard that growl almost collapsed. If Meredith could growl that means only one thing. Someone marked her. He lost her. Someone stole his mate!"Go for her, stupid!" Stark yelled. “Even if Castellano marked her, we can kill him and claim her as ours. There are rules that protect the mate bond, not everything is lost! ”And realizing that Stark is right he starts to run to the end of the corridor. Every time it must be the last room, the end of the road. In every story the same drama, but yet, Max ran as if his life was behind that last door.He stops his steps when he just hears a pained “Don’t kill me!” that he stopped from his race. But when the crack of bones follows, as well as Max, James, Landon and Carter are looking at each other in panic."Who the hell died?" Carter asked.The four of them stand in front of the door and do not dare to open it.They smell Meredith beyond the door, they smell a lot of blood, and Castellano’s brother but beyond that it’
Author’s POV"What happened?" Meredith asked and her face is white like snow.“I can’t tell you right now, but the girls are in hospital. They are already transferred to Vancouver, because our pack doctors are the best and they have a better chance to survive there. ”"To survive?" and Meredith moves away from Max a little and looking into his eyes she asks him in panic. "How bad are they?"“You will see it with your own eyes” Max said and took her hand in his hand. "I can't even talk about this because I came after you as soon as the doctors got to them, but they were dying when we came here."“Oh my goddess!” Meredith whispered and immediately she starts to run outside the building, pulling Max after her.“If Cara dies, or Leia...I swear Max, nothing will save Veronica and Castellano from my wrath. Not even the fact that Veronica is pregnant will not help her. I will erase any trace of her from the face of the earth. ""She's what?" Max asked and he almost stumbled and fell."She's
