Mía assumed that Antonieta would start screaming at her; instead,
She tilted her head back and laughed. When she finished, her eyes returned to the
normal.
-Oh, Mia, that just shows how little you know about humans. -Antoinette
She turned and walked towards the kitchen island, still laughing to herself.

They picked up Ignacio before leaving town, not only because he would kill
Seila if they were going to look for Mía without him, but also because, in addition,
it could be useful.
Seila called her father and left a message on his cell phone to

They traveled in Seila's car because Daniel didn't have one, and Ignacio's was very

Mía looked at the sky and wondered if she would see Ignacio again, she never imagined that she would end up in love with a werewolf, it would take a while for it to be too bright for her to continue seeing them.
When the sky turned a bright pink color, she Mia decided to return to the
bank. She gave the impression that Leo Lycan got up very early, and she could
alert Antonieta if she noticed that Mia was gone. She didn't want to have problems with

They didn't even speak when she reached him. She pushed herself out of the water and threw her arms around her neck. She was cold, and when his arms wrapped around her and
They surrounded her back, she felt them warm against her.
