Alpha Maximus The Last Lycan novel Chapter 51

"There is something I need to tell you!" I say to him

Suddenly my mind flashes back to my mother being burned alive. My body suddenly feels as though I'm the one who is being burned. I begin to scream in pain.

"Maximus! It hurts! Please stop the fire, stop the fire! Don't let him kill me!" I scream.

"Hope, what's wrong? I'm not going to let anything happen to you! Who do you think is going to kill you?" he asks.

"My grandfather...Alpha Cal," I say before erupting into screams of pain again.

Alpha Maximus

Alex and Bella run into our bathroom after hearing Hope's screams.

"Bella! get the pack, doctor! Alex, help me get her in the bath!" I shout.

Hope thrashes around, trying to free herself from my grip as Alex runs the water over her. But she still feels hot to touch. The cold water isn't helping.

"It burns!" she screams.

"What's wrong with her Alpha?" Alex asks with concern.

"I don't know, but the cold water isn't doing anything! I don't know what to do!" I panic.

"Kiss her!" Alex says.

"What?" I ask, tilting my head.

"When she was in her weird trance earlier, it was your kiss that snapped her out of it!" he says.

Alex is right. I kiss her lips. The moment they touch, sparks flow through my body. Hope would be feeling them too. She suddenly relaxes and cups my face, not wanting our lips to part.

I caress her face as she lays exhausted in my arms.

Alex brings some towels over and places them around Hope, "The kiss worked!" he smiles.

"So now we just have to figure out what is going on," I say to him. I stand up and pass Hope to Alex, all drenched, "Here, hold her while I dry and redress myself," I say to him.

I tear my wet clothes off and dry myself, putting on my black trousers and white long-sleeved cuffed shirt. I call for Alex to bring her into the room.

"Lay her down here and see where that doctor has gone too. If he's not around, call Kayla," I say to him. Alex lays Hope on the bed and leaves the room. I remove her wet dress and dry her with the towels. I find a fresh nightgown and dress her. I sit by her side and hold her hands until the pack doctor arrives alongside Bella and Alex.

"What took you so long?" I growl at the doctor.

"I'm so sorry, Alpha, I was caught up with other patients," he says apologetically.

My fist slams on the bedside table as Chaos tries to take over, "I don't care if someone is dying. If I call you, then you are to come immediately!" I say to him.
