Alpha Maximus The Last Lycan novel Chapter 28

Sally immediately blushes. "We used to date quite a few years ago before I moved to Threadington.' she says.

I didn't know Alex had dated a human in the past.

"It was more of a no strings attached fling, nothing serious.' She smiles. "I hear he has settled down now with a baby on the way?" she asks.

"Yes, Bella, she is due very soon to have his pup... I mean, baby!" I reply.

"Well, I'm very happy to hear he is doing well.' she says as she places a plate of spaghetti in front of us.

Hope slides herself onto the seat next to me while we both scoff our meals. Hope looks very pleased with the food, and I don't think she has had spaghetti before. Sally stares at us, a little worried about how fast we eat.

"Gee, you guys sure are hungry.' she says.

Hope nods, "This is delicious! I've never eaten this before! What do you call this?" Hope asks.

"Erm, well, this is spaghetti. I've never met anyone here who hasn't tried spaghetti."

I interrupt their conversation. "We're from the countryside. No restaurants or stores exist, so we live off the land eating the basics."

"Oh, I see.' Sally says, buying my excuse.

"Well, since you're done eating, let me show you your room."

Sally shows us to the spare bedroom. "Here is where you can sleep, and the bathroom is just one door down if you need it."

"Thank you so much. This is so much better than the attic I've been sleeping in.' Hope smiles.

"What? You sleep in an attic?" Sally asks, confused.

I interrupt the conversation again.

"Oh, um, her grandma has builders renovating their house, so they spent a few nights sleeping in the attic.'

"Oh. I see.' she says.

"Thank you for this, Sally.' I say.

"No worries. I have to head out for a few hours to run some errands. I'll be back later.' she says and closes the door behind her.

We enter the bathroom. Hope turns the shower on as I remove my clothes. She tries hard not to pay any attention to my body but struggles. I smile, step toward her, and lift her shirt and jumper over her head. I kiss her lips while I unclip the back of her bra.

I fling them across the bathroom, not caring where they land. My hands caress Hope's stomach down to her button and zip at the front of her jeans. I undo them and pull them down as I place kisses along her neck and work my way down to her breasts. She grabs my hair. "Maximus," she moans.

Now kissing along her lower stomach, my fingers latch on either side of her black lace underwear, pulling them down.

"Bella's going to give birth soon. They'll stay at Dan's house as it's much closer to the hospital.' I say to her.

After breakfast, we walk into the city and arrive at the bank.

"I'll just check how much he deposited so I know how much to withdraw.' Sally says.

She pulls her phone out and logs into her banking app, and her face pales 'There's one million dollars in my account!" she gasps, looking at me.

"Is that all?" I ask.

"Is that a serious question?" Sally asks.

"Withdraw as much of it as the bank will allow you to right now, and we can worry about the rest later.' I tell her.

"Um, okay.' she says, scratching her head and entering the bank.

Hope and I remain outside and wait. Finally, about an hour later, Sally comes out with a bag folded up under her arm.

"One hundred thousand dollars, here you go.' she says, handing it to me. "They said they will have the rest tomorrow. They need time to organise and count it.' she explains.

"Okay, thank you so much, Sally. Here take this. It's the least we can do for you, helping us out.' I say to her and hand her roughly five thousand dollars in cash.
