Alpha Maximus The Last Lycan novel Chapter 36

Nearly everyone in the room stiffens, and the worry intensifies.

"What do you mean most of them are all dead? Who are the new Alphas?" Alpha Tate asks.

"Alpha Maximus is the Alpha of more packs now... he has been killing the Alphas one by one, which means he could be here by tonight or tomorrow. It appears to be only us left to kill him, and we know it won't be that easy now," Alpha Liam says.

I can't hide my happiness. I'm sitting here with a big grin on my face. I knew Alpha Maximus would come for me.

"As long as we have Hope, we will have the upper hand," Alpha Tate smiles, wiping the big grin from my face.

"Okay, everyone, prepare yourselves in case he arrives tonight. Alpha Liam. Do you think we can organise some Wolfsbane?" Alpha Tate asks.

"Yes, I'll get onto it right away," Alpha Liam answers.

Wolfsbane, again? These cowards. I glare at Alpha Liam with hatred in my eyes.

Alpha Maximus

On entering the Dawnbury territory, I can see Sally running in the distance. "Sally! Sally!" I call out.

She runs towards me, "Maximus!" she shouts back.

I run, meeting her halfway, "Are you hurt? Where's Hope?" I ask.

Sally is leaning over with her hands on her knees, trying to catch her breath. "Hope. Wolf. Ran. You won't believe it. A wolf!" she pants.

I can't understand what she is saying.

"Sally! What happened?" I growl, getting Sally's full attention.

She stands up straight and stares at me, "'You won't believe this! Hope and I were running, and she turned into a wolf!" Sally exclaims.

"Where is she?"

"I don't know. I think the men caught her again. Aren't you concerned she's a wolf?" she asks me.

I'm covered in multiple bites, wounds, scratches and cuts.

"Maximus!" Hope screams.

I continue to fight my way through the warriors. There must be at least thirty dead wolves lying around. I'm getting closer to Hope. A spear flies through the air. I catch it in time a centimetre from my right eye and immediately throw it back with full force direction it came. It pierces through Alpha Liam's chest. Everyone stands still and stares at Alpha Liam, gasping for air as he falls to his knees, holding the spear in his chest. Blood dribbles out his mouth as he processes what I have just done. He then falls back, taking his last breath. His men are now my men.

I shift back into human form, "As the new Alpha of the Silent Howl pack, I order you to kill all members of the Blackwood pack!" I shout.

Alpha Tate growls, pulling the knife closer to Hope's neck. We glare at each other while my new pack members and his now fight to the death.

I need to kill Alpha Tate without Hope getting hurt. Unexpectedly Sally exits the front of the pack house holding a frying pan like a baseball, creeps up behind Alpha Tate and swings it with all her strength across the back of Alpha Tate's head.

Alpha Tate yells out in pain and turns, letting go of Hope.

Hope runs straight toward me and leaps into my arms. While Alpha Tate grabs Sally and thrusts his knife into her stomach, "NO!" I yell.

Hope turns to see what has happened and gasps in shock. I shift back into Chaos and run toward Alpha Tate. We roll onto the ground as he shifts into his wolf. We fight ferociously.
