Alpha Maximus：The last lycan novel Chapter 26

　　Anna is surrounded by wolves, snapping and snarling at her. The largest one shifts into his human form; his aura giving off immense power. He must be an alpha.

　　‘Anna, you have broken the law, with my son, who is no longer Alpha,’ he says. This must be my grandfather, Alpha Cal. Anna gasps.

　　‘What have you done to him?’ She asks, and Alpha Cal laughs.

　　‘My impertinent son is locked up in his own dungeon indefinitely where he will be punished regularly.’

　　‘You're a monster!’ She yells.

　　‘How do you plead, Anna Glint?’ He asks.

　　‘Being in love should is not a crime! You are defying the Moon Goddess, objecting to her choosing me as your sons' mate!’ She yells.

　　‘The Moon Goddess would never curse the werewolves, with a witch as one of our mates. You obviously bewitched him!’ He snarls.

　　‘I love Levi! And he loves me! The Moon Goddess wants us to be together! I never bewitched him!’ She yells.

　　‘You’re sentenced to death for breaking the law and bewitching my son! Get her!’ He yells, and the werewolves shift, and grab her arms, in a lock-hold, as tears roll down her cheek.

　　I cry while they drag her for miles, before reaching hundreds of people waiting around a wooden post. They tie her to the wooden post, and Alpha Cal takes a wooden lit torch from a bystander, and stands in front of her.

　　‘Any last words witch?’ He asks, and she glares at him.

　　‘I, Anna Glint, of the Healers coven, curse you, Alpha Cal. For my death shall be avenged by your own bloodline. The day you see my face again, is the day you will die!’ She yells, before looking beyond his shoulder, directly into my eyes.

　　‘Mum?’ I tremble, but she smiles and nods. Alpha Cal turns to look to where I’m standing.

　　‘Who are you staring at?’ He yells. My Mum is the only person who can see me; I’m invisible to everyone else.

　　‘Mum!’ I scream, running towards her.

　　Alpha Cal throws the torch at her feet, and flames spread across the hay and up the pole, and my mother screams in pain, as the fire engulfs her. The screams stop, and I fall to my knees, crying.

　　Alpha Cal chuckles behind me. I stand up, wipe my tears away, and face my grandfather, who’s laughing.

　　‘I will avenge my mother, if it's the last thing I do!’ I yell, though I know he can't hear me.

　　Running towards the lake, I cry; it’s the only place I’ve ever felt safe. The baby is crying, and a few people are gathered around it.

　　‘It's been abandoned,’ someone says.

　　‘Well pick it up. Alpha will decide what to do with it,’ the other says.

　　Following them to their pack house, they approach Alpha Tate's father. Alpha Tate is four or five years old. It’s weird seeing him at this age.

　　‘What is this?’ He asks.

　　‘We heard cries and found it in the forest.’ The alpha grunts and sighs.

　　‘I can smell it's wolf, so it's not a human, vampire, or a witch,’ he states. An elderly woman is sweeping the floor nearby.

　　‘Our current slave will drop dead in a few years. This baby will replace her,’ he says, shrugging.

　　‘Who is going to look after her in the meantime?’ Someone asks.

　　‘Give her to the slave. The baby can be her problem!’ He snarls.

　　The old lady takes the baby and leaves the room. I vaguely remember her. She died just before I was five; when I started doing all the chores, and the beatings began. I want to follow her but the vortex sucks me back to my world and time. Closing my eyes, I’m dizzy. I’m back under the tree and no longer transparent.

　　I just witnessed my mother's death! When I was found and became a slave! I lie down on the grass, and stare into the distance in shock; watching the sun set, and the moon appear.

　　When the moon appears, and darkness consumes me, I reluctantly stand, and return to the castle in a zombie-like trance.
