If we do manage to finish this story and still have many chapters on reserve, I vow to do double updates. But, until then, slow and steady she (he? this one's primarily full of male characters) goes. There are lulls where we sit down and hash out major plot points and where to steer the ship (the story's a ship now? If so, I Christen it 'Enero' [January in Spanish]).
Went off on a tangent there, what were we talking about? Right! Mari's not generally violent, but she is as protective as a werewolf gets, considering she's also an Omega. I think what was running through her mind at the time was more "if I distract the vampire, El can make a run for it!" We get to see her mate later on, too.
