Alpha Maximus The Last Lycan novel Chapter 21

Nathan lays in his human form on the ground. He's hurt bad. I lean over him and place my hands over his chest. I close my eyes and focus, but the odd pack member keeps trying to grab my ankle or arm to pull me away. Alpha Maximus has managed to take out half the pack, but the rest of the werewolves continue to attack him.

Alpha Liam is approaching. He removes his shirt and shifts before racing toward Alpha Maximus. I place my hands on Nathan's wounds taking in a deep breath as my hair starts to rise and my eyes become a glimmering silver.

Alpha Liam stops dead in his tracks along with his pack members. Alpha Maximus is breathing heavily, races toward me, and stands in a protective stance. Everyone is silent as they watch me curiously. Nathan opens his eyes as his wounds are almost healed. The pack members step in awe and disbelief.

Nathan sits up and wraps his arms around me, pulling me in for a playful hug. "Thank you," he whispers.

Alpha Maximus growls at Nathan, disapproving of his affectionate hug towards me.

"Witch!" Alpha Liam yells. I look up to see Alpha Liam pointing at me. Alpha Maximus sneers and growls at Alpha Liam.

I hide behind Nathan in his wolf form. He snaps and snarls at Alpha Liam.

"You are both freaks! Abominations! Get off my territory before I get other packs to come and kill you both!" Alpha Liam shouts. I don't know why they would call me a witch.

Alpha Maximus lifts me in his arms protectively and roars in anger, still in his Lycan form. I wrap my arms around his neck and cry. It was my first time going to another packhouse, and I'm still unwanted and being called names.

Alpha Maximus backs away cautiously, ensuring no one will attack as we try and leave. He shifts back into his human form and tries to put me in the car, but I hold him tighter. I'm too scared to let go.

He squeezes me close and nuzzles my neck to comfort me. My body instantly explodes with sparks.

"It's Okay, Hope. We are safe now.' he says, stroking my back.

He sits in the car, letting my arms wrap around the back of his neck. I nuzzle my face into his chest.

"Where do we go from here?" Nathan asks.

Alpha Maximus sighs, "If Silent Howl pack is reacting like this, then we need to expect all the other packs will treat us the same.'

Nathan nods. "We can stay in hotels in the human towns along the way. Worst case scenario is for us to shift into our wolves and sleep outside.'

Alpha Maximus brushes a strand of my hair from my face. "Speaking of wolves. Hope, you didn't shift when you tried to escape from the men. Surely you knew they would capture you in human form?"
