Alpha Maximus:The last lycan

Chapter 19



Chapter 19

Hope

We run hand in hand outside, where five men are chasing us, in their wolf forms.

‘No matter what you see, keep running, okay?’ I say.

‘Okay,’ she says. ‘They’re after me. I'm going to run in a different direction, so you can get away,’ I

explain.

‘What about you? I don't want them to get you.’

‘Don't worry about me. Just keep running.’

Discarding my dress, I shift into Storm. Sally screams and runs even faster, through the field.

The wolves chase me through the field away from Sally. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

I duck under branches and pounce over rocks until I collide with something hard. I whimper on

impact, and see Alpha Tate, in his large, wolf form, snarling. He clamps down on my throat again until I

shift back into human form and black out.

Waking up in bed again, naked, Alpha Tate is sitting in the armchair, watching me. I quickly cover

myself with the bedsheet and glare at him. He rolls his eyes and throws a dress at me. I grab it and put

it on. There’s a knock on the door.

‘What?’ Alpha Tate says.

‘It's Alpha Liam. Something has happened. Come downstairs for an urgent meeting,’ he says.

Alpha Tate grabs my hand, and leads me into the hallway, and downstairs, into a room full of

people who are worried, and chatting among themselves.

We sit at the end of the table next to Alpha Liam.

‘What is so urgent half the pack is here?’ Alpha Tate asks.

‘We were expecting other alphas to be here to fight Alpha Maximus, and they haven't shown up.

Most of them are dead.’

Everyone in the room stiffens and the worry intensifies.

‘What do you mean most of them are dead? Who are the new alphas?’ Alpha Tate asks.

‘Alpha Maximus is their alpha. He has been killing them one by one. He’ll be here tonight or

tomorrow. We’re on our own. It won't be easy to kill him,’ Alpha Liam explains.

I’m sitting here grinning. Maximus is coming for me.

‘As long as we have Hope, we have the upper hand,’ Alpha Tate smiles, and I frown.

‘Okay, everyone. Prepare yourselves in case he arrives tonight. Alpha Liam, organise some

wolfsbane,’ Alpha Tate demands.

‘Yes, I'll get onto it right away,’ Alpha Liam says.

Alpha Maximus

In Dawnbury, Sally is running towards me in the distance.

‘Sally! Sally!’ I yell.

‘Max!’ She yells, and we meet halfway.

‘Are you hurt? Where is Hope?’ I ask.

She is leaning, with her hands on her knees, trying to catch her breath.

‘Hope... Hope... wolf... ran... you won't believe…’ she pants, and I can't understand her.

‘Sally! What happened?’ I snap, getting Sally's full attention. She stands up straight and stares at

me.

‘You won't believe this! Hope and I were running, and she turned into a wolf!’ Sally exclaims.

‘Where is she?’ I ask.

‘I don't know. I think they caught her again. Aren't you concerned? She’s a wolf!’ She says.

I shift into Chaos, and she screams. I put my hand over her mouth to muffle her screaming, before

shifting back into human form to explain it all.

‘Sally, everyone you were just around are werewolves! Show me the way to the pack house!’ I

instruct.

Sally is shaking as she points in the direction of the pack house. I grab her and lead her towards it.

‘Get down! See there? Pack warriors are spread out over there. I’ll take them on but I don't want

them to alert Alpha Tate, that I’m here, yet,’ I whisper.

Sally nods nervously, crouches down behind me, and we creep around to the side of the pack

house.

Alpha Liam is out the front talking to some pack warriors and members, who are scanning the area

for me.

‘They know I’m here,’ I mumble.

‘Hope must be inside,’ Sally says.

I shift into Chaos and let out a ferocious howl; Sally quivers behind me. I run straight at Alpha Liam

preparing to strike, and he turns, grinning, his arms crossed, as his warriors shield him.

My claws slit their throats killing them, and fifty more warriors run out either side of the pack house,

and surround me. Half of them are wolves, lunging at me, and biting and swiping at me. Others in

human form, shoot spears at me.

It isn't looking too good at all. Then I hear his voice as I fight.

‘Oh. Look, Hope. Alpha Maximus has come to save you! Too bad he won't survive,’ Alpha Tate

says, snarling.

Hope is pressed against his chest, and a knife is held against her throat. I snarl and break a wolf’s

neck, and throw him into the row of spear-bearers. I sustain hundreds of bites, wounds, scratches and

cuts and my pain increases.

‘Maximus!’ Hope screams. Her voice gives me an adrenaline rush.

There are about thirty dead wolves lying around. I’m getting closer to Alpha Liam.

A spear flies through the air and I grab it in time before it pierces me, a centimetre from my right

eye, and immediately throw it back, with full force, directly at Alpha Liam, before he processes the

spear in his chest.

Everyone freezes and stares at Alpha Liam, who is gasping for breath, before he falls to his knees,

and holds the spear in his chest. Blood bubbles from his mouth as he registers what has just

happened. He falls backwards and takes his last breath; his men are now mine. I shift back into human

form.

‘As the Alpha of this pack, I order you to kill all members of the Blackwood pack!’ I yell.

Alpha Tate growls, and pushes the knife deeper into Hope's skin. We stare at each other while my

pack members and his fight.

I need to get to Alpha Tate without Hope getting hurt. Unexpectedly, Sally leaves the house holding

a frying pan like a baseball bat, and creeps up behind Alpha Tate and swings it with all her strength

across the back of Alpha Tate's head.

Alpha Tate yells out in pain, letting going of Hope briefly. Hope runs to me and leaps into my arms.

Alpha Tate grabs Sally and thrusts the knife into her stomach.

‘No!’ I yell.

Hope gasps, shocked. I shift back into Chaos and run towards Alpha Tate, and we roll onto the

ground. He shifts into his wolf and we fight, ferociously, yelping, growling, and whimpering, at the

injuries we inflict on each other.

Beta Sam runs towards me. Hope is on her knees, healing Sally's stab wound. She sees Sam

running towards me, shifts into her wolf and bolts towards Sam.

Going in for the kill, I clamp down on Alpha Tate's throat and rip it open. Sam injects wolfsbane into

my shoulder.

Storm jumps onto him, fatally biting his neck, ending his life. The surviving pack members are now

all mine. I shift back into human form and my eyes go heavy. Everything sways. Hope runs towards

me.

‘Maximus!’ She screams, and I sit up quickly from my dream-like state, with blurry eyesight,

covered in sweat. I give myself a minute to adjust. My beautiful Goddess, my mate, is sitting in front of

me staring into my eyes with the most beautiful smile.
