"Hope? Are you okay?" Max yells out.
"Yes, I'm fine," I gently shout back.
Reaching for the box, I open it to see a white pair of converse shoes. I put them on and stand. I wriggle my toes laughing and swing around in a circle.
I then take the hairbrush and brush my hair as I walk back into the bathroom to see myself in the mirror wearing my new clothes.
My jaw drops to the floor. My hair is very white, straight and silky. It looks gorgeous. It must have been over a decade since I've seen it like this. My eyes sparkle blue and compliment my pure white hair. My hair falls past my shoulders.
In a delightful mood, I skip out of the bathroom, humming. I'm excited to show Alpha Maximus how different I look. I can hear him talking to someone. It's Nathan.
I open the door with a big smile and twirl around in a circle in front of them. "What do you think?" I ask excitedly.
Their mouths drop open, "Umm Alpha...where did Hope go? Because if that is Hope, she is one hot babe!" Nathan says.
I blush and twirl around again.
Alpha Maximus gazes intently at me.
"You don't like how I look?" I ask.
He grabs me by the waist and lifts me. My legs naturally wrap around his waist, and before you know it, we're making out together. His tongue enters my mouth, and his member presses against my stomach.
He parts his lips from mine. "You look incredible, Hope! If Nathan weren't standing behind me right now, I would eat you up, like a whole damn meal!" he says.
"I heard that!" Nathan says.
I laugh. "Do you really think I look good?" I ask him shyly.
"If Alpha Tate saw you right now, he would be kicking himself for rejecting an utter beauty like you! But he's a fool. I already thought you were perfect the moment I laid my eyes on you in that cell," he says to me. "And now you're all mine, Hope. I will never let him have you!" he assures me and then gently kisses my lips before placing me down. "I think it's time we eat. Let's go.' he says and takes my hand.
As we stroll up the road, all the men in the street stare at me.
"We will talk about that back at the hotel.' Nathan replies
We walk back to the hotel holding hands, constantly staring and smiling at each other. As soon as we enter our hotel room, without warning, Alpha Maximus grabs me by the waist and pulls me onto his lap as he sits on the couch.
"So, I have some not-so-good news I need to tell you both.' Nathan says nervously.
"When I wandered off at the park, I contacted Alpha Mark of the Wolf Mire pack. It's the next wolf pack we will be passing.
Alpha Tate has informed all of the packs of the same story he told Alpha Liam. Since then, Alpha Liam has also contacted the other packs about our altercation with the Silent Howl pack earlier today. It gets worse. All the pack Alpha's except for one, Alpha Dan of the Moon fall pack, have agreed that it is in the best interest of the werewolf community that you, Alpha Maximus are to be killed."
I stare at Alpha Maximus in shock. My eyes well up, and he starts to rub my back.
"There's more...' Nathan says.
"They claim Hope is a witch and must also be eradicated.' I gasp as Alpha Maximus growls.
