Alpha Maximus The Last Lycan novel Chapter 35

I can't free myself. Alpha Tate bites down even harder every time I try to move. I shift back into my human form against my will and blackout.

I wake up to the sun shining onto my face through the window. I realise I blacked out for the whole night. I quickly Jump out of bed and run to the door, but it's locked. There's a dress on the chair. I quickly put it on and run to the window.

I see I'm on the third floor, climb out, and carefully crawl to the next window. I have to find Sally. I can't see her through any of the windows. I need to check the second level. So, I slide down a pipe and grab onto a balcony rail on the second floor. I can't see anyone through the window, but it's open, so I climb through. I'm very good at this because when I was a slave, I was always sneaking in and out the attic window. I poke my head out of the room and quietly creep a few metres down the hall to the next room. I quietly open the door and see Sally asleep on the couch.

Her hands are still bound. It's the same room I was in when we arrived. I wake her up only for her eyes to look behind me.

I turn around to see Alpha Tate smiling, "Hope, are you trying to leave me already?" he asks with a grin. Tate stands there with his arms crossed. There are three other men with him, "Untie the human and bring her downstairs."

"My name is Sally! Not human!" she shouts.

Alpha Tate brings me to a sitting room. I freeze as I enter.

"Why isn't that witch dead?" Alpha Liam yells.

Everyone turns to stare at me.

Alpha Tate takes my hand and kisses it, "This witch is my Mate and Luna," he smiles.

I try to pull my hand away from Alpha Tate, but he grips my hand harder. He sits facing alpha Liam and holds me down onto his lap tightly so I can't move.

Alpha Liam glares at me. "So if she is here, then where is Alpha Maximus ?" Liam asks. "They were in Threadington. No need to worry. Alpha Maximus will find Hope here. All we have to do is to wait for him to come to us. I have double the warriors on patrol throughout the territory, so we will know when he is here," Alpha Tate says to Alpha Liam.

"How are we going to capture him then? I haven't gotten hold of half the Alpha's that are supposed to be here to help kill him.' Alpha Liam growls.

"I will make him choose to surrender, or else I will kill Hope," he says.

"No!" I shout as I try to break free of Alpha Tate's grip. "I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!" I scream.

I wake up in the bedroom again. Alpha Tate is sitting in the armchair watching me. I quickly grab the bed sheet to cover myself and glare at him.

He stands up, rolls his eyes, and throws a dress at me. I take it and put it on straight away.

There's a knock at the door, "What?" Alpha Tate yells.

"It's Alpha Liam. Something has happened. You need to come downstairs for an urgent meeting," he says.

Alpha Tate grabs my hand, pulling me behind him as we go downstairs. The room is full of people looking worried and chatting amongst themselves.

We sit at the end of the table next to Alpha Liam. "So, what's urgent that half the pack is here in this room?" Alpha Tate asks.

"Well, you know how we're expecting other Alpha's to be here to fight against Alpha Maximus, and they still haven't shown up. I've just had some of my men return from some of the other packs only to find the Alpha's haven't turned up because most of them are all dead."
