Alpha Maximus The Last Lycan novel Chapter 20

"Alpha Liam," Alpha Maximus greets.

Alpha Liam scoffs, "I think you have a lot of explaining to do, Alpha Maximus," he says.

I felt Alpha Maximus's back stiffen, "Is there some kind of problem?" He replies.

"We have just had word that you murdered and wiped out half of the Blackwood pack after you kidnapped Alpha Tate's mate! Tell me this isn't true?"

"I think we should have this conversation inside," Alpha Maximus suggests as he notices more annoyed-looking pack members coming out and forming a crowd.

"No! You will hand the girl over so she can be returned to Alpha Tate, and you will leave and be exiled from entering our territory again.'

Alpha Maximus growls ferociously as his eyes turn black. Chaos is trying to take over. He pulls me from behind him and presses me against his chest 'MINE!" he snarls, making Alpha Liam's pack step back.

I peer into his black eyes, "Chaos, please, I won't go with them. I'm going to stay with you, but you need to let Alpha Maximus have control, so no one gets hurt, okay?" I tell him.

His shoulders relax, and his heartbeat slows down. I stay pressed against him to keep him calm. "Hope is my mate, and I would rather die than hand her back to that bastard!" He tells Alpha Liam.

"That can be arranged!" Alpha Liam retorts. He nods at his pack warriors, and they all charge toward us.

I fall backwards as Alpha Maximus shifts into his Lycan. His clothes rip as he shifts. He let out a roar of warning at the pack racing towards him. They shift into their wolves and continue to pursue us. They don't back away or hesitate.

Nathan grabs my arm, helping me up, "Run, run back to the car and lock the doors! There are too many wolves. I have to help Alpha Maximus.' he says.

I turn and start running back to the car as fast as possible. Shadows whip past me. I slip and fall, rolling a few metres.

As I get myself up off the ground, three wolves appear in front of me. They shift into their human form and approach me. "Come, we will safely return you to Alpha Tate.' The man closest to me says.

"No, I don't want to go back there. I want to stay with Alpha Maximus.' I tell them. "Why would you want to run away with a Lycan of all werewolves for? Alpha Tate is your mate," the man says.
