Alpha Maximus The Last Lycan novel Chapter 58

Alpha Maximus's face lights up with a beaming smile matching the doctors, "Hope, this is the best news I could hope for," he says excitedly.

I place my hand on my stomach, "Am I really carrying a baby inside me right now?" I ask in shock and happiness.

"Yes, you sure are," says, "Now you have been through a lot, so I suggest as much bed rest as possible," he says.

He leaves the room. Alpha Maximus climbs onto the bed, kisses my belly, and then rubs his hand on my stomach. "Even though I haven't met you yet, I already love you. Your mother and I will give you the best life, filled with so much love, little one," he says to my belly.

He looks up at me, "No matter what," he says.

"No matter what," I reply sweetly.

It's been three months now since we killed Alpha Cal. My father is about to return to the Dark Moon pack as Alpha. We accompany him to the car. He has gained his weight back and is no longer extremely thin. He trained with Alpha Maximus daily with the rest of the pack, which helped him gain muscle. You would never know it's the same man we saved three months earlier. I cling onto his arm as we walk toward the car.

"Papa, make sure to be back here in four months. You know I'll be due to give birth then," I remind him.

"Of course! I don't want to miss the moment my grand-pup comes into this world," my father smiles.

He tries to hug me goodbye, but my stomach is already huge at five months pregnant. He laughs and hugs me from the side instead.

Alpha Maximus and I wave goodbye and watch the car drive into the distance.

"Time for lunch," I say.

"We just had lunch," he replies.

"Well, I'm still hungry," I laugh.

He smiles, takes my hand, and we walk inside and go to the kitchen to eat.

Four Months Later

I'm due to give birth any day now. My father has just arrived back, "Hope, look at you! You look like you're going to explode!" he laughs.

I laugh too, but then I feel a tight pain in my stomach. I hunch forward in pain. My father grabs my arm, and Alpha Maximus my other.

"Come sit, my love," Alpha Maximus says.

They guide me to the couch.

My father tells us about all the changes he made at Dark Moon Pack and how the pack admires and respects him. I'm so happy my father is loved and respected and to see him happy and thriving. I bid him goodnight, and Alpha Maximus has to help me up the stairs. It's so exhausting with all this weight in my stomach.

It's now midnight. I can't sleep. My stomach and back hurt. I hop out of bed to get myself a glass of water and then pace around the room until Alpha Maximus wakes up. It's two in the morning.
