Alpha Maximus The Last Lycan novel Chapter 18

My mate tries to follow me, but Nathan holds her back. I'm worried I might hurt her in this form, and so is Nathan. I also don't want her to see chaos on his revenge-killing spree. I try to fight Chaos for control, but he only has one thing on his mind: revenge for almost being killed and the unknown horrors our mate has been through. So he blocks our mind-link, so I can't communicate with him.

He lets out a loud howl and runs out of the cell on a murderous rampage. I try to take control but can't shift back into my human form until the sun rises. Chaos is adamant he wants his revenge and begins killing any Blackwood pack members he sees.

The moon is fading, and the sun is rising. I shift back to my human form. There are at least a few dozen pack warriors dead. They are all scattered across the ground, lifeless with blood and open wounds. It's a gruesome sight; if other packs see this, they will say I'm a monster.

Shit! Chaos! What have you done? I growl at him. 

Revenge, he replies.

You should not have killed them! 

They hurt, mate! They kill us! He growls.

I sigh, knowing what is done is done. The rest of the Blackwood pack members are hiding in their houses and inside the packhouse.

The odd face tries to sneak a peek out a window, probably to see if I'm still on a killing spree. I run back to the cell to get Nathan and my mate.

"Nathan," I shout, running down the steps, "We need to go now!"

My mate quickly hides behind Nathan, clinging to the back of his shirt.

Nathan takes her hand and walks toward me. She gasps, and her cheeks flush red. Then, she quickly looks away behind Nathan's back.

Looking down, I'm completely naked, but that normally doesn't bother most of us in the werewolf community. I think it's cute that she is shy and startled by my nakedness. She peeks up at me, keeping eye contact and looking confused.

"It's okay. It's me, your mate. I'm going to get you out of here, okay?" I say to her softly.

She looks up at Nathan, who smiles and nods his head to reassure her. I extend my hand out for her to take.
