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
Author’s POV“My house or your house?” Max asked Meredith as he gently put on her seat belt, helping her to sit comfortably.."Yours," she said almost in a whisper. "I need to see familiar faces, and to feel that I belong to a family” and she is about to burst into tears."Hey," Max said in a panic and immediately loosened the newly seated belt and pulled her into his lap, holding her tight to his chest.“Have faith, beautiful,” he said, caressing her face. “They are werewolves. And as long they are still alive they are able to recover. Not everything is lost. ”"Even Leia?" Meredith asks, letting her tears flow down her cheeks."And what about when they will see how much they already lost, Max?" Meredith asks, looking into his eyes.“Will Cara be the same energetic and sweet girl we knew? Will ever Leia open her eyes and have the same shine she had before all this happened?? ”"We can only hope," Max said. “But until they will recover we have the duty to support Sam and Luke. We can
Author's POV“There is my favorite granddaughter!” Grandpa Cruz said as soon as he saw Meredith coming down for breakfast with Max."How many granddaughters do you have, grandpa?" Meredith asks, squeezing her eyes at the old man. "Tell me honestly, who else did Max bring home besides me?" and Max’s face becomes pale while grandpa’s mouth remains open. But seeing their faces Meredith starts to laugh."I was joking! You can start breathing again! ” she said, going to the old man and hugging him, but the poor old man's heart beat like after some marathon."You look better" Carter said coming into the room with Lisa but he see Max's and grandpa’s faces can't help but ask:"Did something happen?"“No, dad” Meredith said, making him smile because she didn’t call him like that since she just married Max five years ago, and Max was ignoring her.“I made a joke and they shit in their pants” and Lisa burst into laughter."That's what they need!" and takes Meredith’s hand and pulls her in a hug.
Meredith’s POV“Sam, Luke, I will stay here. Just go home and take a shower, eat something, take a nap… anything. But you can’t continue like this. ”"I can't leave her alone," Sam said, kissing Cara's forehead.“You are here for a week already and believe me that Cara will appreciate your effort but when she will open her eyes she will die in the next second. You stink, Sam. Go and take a bath. I will stay with her. ”And I signal Max to take him out."And you Luke!""No!" he said."Don't make me use my luna command on you." I tell him, smiling at him. "I am doing it for Vivi. She is pale and tired and does not want to leave you alone. Take her and sleep at least one hour. ”“Let’s go Sam, and you Luke” Max said. “She is right. At this rate, you will be placed in a hospital ward too. This is not what Cara or Leia would want. ” and he does what I was not able to do. He commands them to submit. Not being marked I don’t feel right using my luna command, even if I can.“Thank you,” I min
Author’s POVMeanwhile in Cara's ward, Sam holds Cara to his chest, and gently strokes her trying to calm her down.“I am so sorry, Sam” Cara said when in the end she found some strength to recover her voice. “I lost our baby. I was not able to defend him "“What?’ Sam asked in shock “This is not your fault. What happened was a crime against our family, orchestrated even by my own family. You told me, my love, you told me what my mom did to you and yet, I didn't believe she was able to touch you knowing that you are mine. ”Sam said with a trembling heart.“What are you talking about?” Cara asked.“Is not the moment to explain now because I am not able to process what happened either, my love, but when you will be fine I will tell you everything”"I want my baby back, Sam," Cara said bursting into tears.“I want him back too. But he is not here anymore. ” and he put his nose on her neck and kissed his mark, making her calm.“I promise, Cara. I promise that none will ever touch you agai
