Alpha Maximus The Last Lycan novel Chapter 25

"No!" he says, standing up, "They can hunt me down all they want! But if any harm comes to Hope, then I will kill every single one of them with my bare hands!" he says angrily.

"What are we going to do?" I ask.

"We will focus on getting home to our pack safely. We will go around the other territories to avoid the packs and figure out what to do next after we are home. The best thing to do right now is for us to have a rest, sleep and then get out of here before sunrise. Nathan, contact Alex, get him up to date with everything, and tell him to put extra warriors on guard throughout our territory.

Nathan nods and returns to his room.

"Maximus?" I say, gazing sadly at him with worry. "I don't want anything bad to happen to you. You didn't do anything wrong. You were only protecting yourself, and you saved me. Maybe I could talk to some of the Alphas and explain the situation? If I tell them Alpha Tate rejected me and tried to kill you, perhaps they will let us be?" I suggest.

Alpha Maximus cups my face 'My sweet, kind, gentle Hope, I don't think this is going to be something we can talk ourselves out of, and I don't trust any other Alpha to be near you. But we will try and figure something out. In the meantime, let's get some sleep."

With my nighty now on, Alpha Maximus scoops me into his arms and climbs into bed. I rest my head and hand on his chest and fall asleep.

I'm gently being woken from, Alpha Maximus caressing my cheek, "Time to get up, sleepy head.' he smiles.

I pull the blanket back up and snuggle back into him as tightly as possible. "Just a bit longer?" I mumble.

"I'm sorry, but we have to go, Hope.' he says softly.

I make puppy dog eyes at him. "Please, Maximus, just a few more minutes?" I beg. He grins. "Okay, but just a few more minutes."

I nuzzle my face into his neck and close my eyes while I caress his stubbled face.

A few minutes later, there's a knock on the door 'Alpha, Luna, are you ready to go?" Nathan asks through the door.

I let out an annoyed moan.

Alpha Maximus laughs. "I know, babe, I wish I could stay in bed with you all day too," he says, sitting up.

As soon as we are dressed, I quickly help Alpha Maximus pack the suitcase back up, and then we walk downstairs to leave. Only a few people are in the lobby, and I pray to the Moon Goddess that none are from Alpha Liam's pack.

It's still dark, but you can see the sun is about to rise. We spend most of the day driving. I enjoy looking out the windows at all the towns we pass through. However, I keep noticing a white car with black tinted windows throughout the day following us.
