Alpha Maximus The Last Lycan novel Chapter 14

"Alpha Maximus," Sam says behind me. "What are you doing in here?" he asks. "Sorry, I lost my way around. I was heading to the dining room but must have taken the wrong turn," I say innocently.

"Yes, it's a big place. I remember getting lost a few times when I first moved into this packhouse.' Sam says as he leads me out of the attic.

"Sam... can I ask you something?"

"Sure," he says, raising an eyebrow.

"Does someone sleep in that attic?" I ask.

Sam starts to laugh. "Of course, not Alpha Maximus. That would be barbaric and cruel of us! That room is just used for storage."

Funny since it's practically empty, yet it's a storage room. I sense that Sam straight out lied.

Nathan is in the hallway waiting for me. He is already dressed up, and he has brushed his hair and his beard. "Alpha! You said you would wait for me," he says. "Yeah, I kind of got bored waiting, so I decided to stroll around, but then I ended up in a dirty old attic," I tell him.

"Shall we head downstairs to meet Ava?" Sam says.

I nod and follow his lead.

We are in the large dining room where a woman stands waiting. She has dark shoulder-length hair with dark brown eyes. She wears a black dress that exposes her cleavage. I think she purposely dressed to impress.

She doesn't look too bad, but I don't like her scent. It reminds me of last night's sloppy dessert. Regardless, she smiles at me and winks too. I have never had a woman wink at me before.

"You must be the famous Lycan prince, Alpha Maximus," she says, bowing her head. "I'm Ava, and I'm happy to help you in any way you need," she says seductively.

I laugh nervously. "Oh, thank you, Ava.' I don't feel any attraction to her whatsoever. There is no bond between us.

Nathan purposely coughs. I mind-link him that she isn't my mate.

Well, at least she hasn't run off screaming. Nathan links back. 

"Jerk! I reply.
