Alpha Maximus The Last Lycan novel Chapter 40

"We will leave by midday and should arrive at Blood Moon territory by nightfall," I say to them.

"Can I go as well? I want to be back home and give birth there," Bella says.

"Bella, you can't come back home during the battle. You could get hurt or even killed!" Alex says.

"I'm sorry, Bella, but I'm going to side with Alex. You will be in safe hands staying here. Once it's safe to return home, we'll have transport to bring you back safely."

Bella let out an annoyed moan. Hope gave her a sympathetic look across the table. "You will be back with Alex before you know it," Hope says, reassuringly smiling at Bella.

"Thanks, Luna," she replies with a smile.

After breakfast, we shift and run through the fields towards Blood Moon territory. It's nightfall as we arrive. My territory is vast. My pack members live in their own houses on my land, except for Sam, Bella and Nathan, who live in my packhouse with me. It's an old castle where my father lived as Alpha and King, just like his father and my great grandfather, going back many generations. There's a huge fountain the size of a house in the centre of our territory. We also have watch towers in the North, East, West and South part of my land to keep an eye out for rogues and any other threat. It resides hidden far from any human town and not on any of their maps, just like all pack territories.

There are hundreds of pack warriors scattered everywhere, "You all fight your way through the warriors. I'm going to sneak around and head straight for the Alphas," I say.

Alpha Dan and Alpha Greg both run in unison, "Charge!" they shout and then shift into their wolves.

Our three packs combined follow and collide with our opposition. Yelps and whimpers can be heard as Hope and I sneak around through the long grass.

A twig snaps behind me, and we both turn to see five wolves. They lunge toward us, snarling, and biting, but I kill them all within seconds.

"I can't see any of the enemy Alphas," I say to Hope.

"Should we check inside the pack house?" Hope suggests.

"It's the only other place they could be. You would think they would be out here helping their packs fight.'

"They must be cowards like Alpha Tate," Hope laughs.

"True," I smile.

"I can't believe how beautiful the Blood Moon territory is, and you said we would live in a packhouse? This is a medieval castle!" Hope exclaims.

"Packhouse, Medieval castle, same thing," I shrug.
