Alpha Maximus：The last lycan

Chapter 28

Alpha Maximus

Waking up the next morning, Hope is snuggled in my arms. I kiss her cute button nose and it stirs

her awake.

She sits up, swiftly remembering everything from the day before, and she touches her face, and

looks around, in thought.

‘You aren't dreaming. If that's what you're wondering,’ I say.

‘There are things I need to tell you,’ she says, softly.

‘Hope, I already know,’ I reply. She looks at me, confused.

‘No, I don't think you do,’ she says, puzzled.

‘I know your father is Alpha Levi and your mother is Anna Glint, the witch my parents hid and tried

to save,’ I state.

‘How did you?’ She asks, and I hand her the love note, and watch her hold the heart pendant in

her other hand.

‘Did your father gift that to your mother?’ I ask. She nods.

‘Yes, he did,’ she smiles.

‘I'm going to grant you a wish. We’re going to visit your grandfather and we are going to try and

free your father.’ Hope’s eyes well and she lunges at me, and wraps her arms around my neck.

‘Thank you,’ she whispers.

‘Doing this puts you in great danger. So, we need to plan this carefully. You could be sentenced to

death just for existing,’ I explain, truthfully. She nods.

‘I know. But it's not fair. Their crime was loving each other. I’m the result of that love! I'm not sorry

for being born! I’m glad I’m here, because I have you, and you have me. No matter what,’ she says,

with the utmost love in her voice.

We share a fiery kiss, Hope straddles me, and I push myself into her, and she grinds against me,

and we both moan. My hands cup her bum, and move along with her hips. I slap her sweet ass, making

her gasp, and arch her back in pleasure.

‘Maximus,’ she moans, making my cock twitch inside of her, in pleasure.

Hope smashes her mouth onto mine, and our tongues explore eachother, as we move even faster

until we both cry out together in climax, filling her with my seed.

I roll her onto her hands and knees, and push myself into her from behind; thrusting my cock in

and out of her, and she clutches the sheets and cries out, as waves of pleasure ripple through our

bodies, again releasing my seed, before she rolls onto her side, spent.

I carry her into the bathroom and turn the shower on. I kiss her blushing cheeks and her sweet lips.

After our shower, we go downstairs and have breakfast together.

‘When will we be going to Dark Moon pack?’ Hope asks.

‘I’m thinking we can go as soon as today,’ I offer, and she nods and smiles. ‘We can't just turn up

on his territory though. I’ll tell him I’m coming to speak with him about the peace treaty in person. We

know he wants me dead, so we will have to be aware of any traps; I’ll bring all the warriors. We don't

know how he’ll react when he meets you. I think it best not to introduce you to him straight away,’ I

suggest. Hope stands and takes my hand.

‘Before we leave, I want to show you something,’ she says, I nod, and follow her through the

castle.

‘I'm sure it’s around here somewhere,’ she says, confused.

‘What are you looking for?’ I ask.

‘The room where I found my mother's belongings; where I found the note and the necklace,’ she

explains.

‘Uh huh!’ Hope yells.

‘What is it?’ I ask.

She tugs my arm and leads me to a black hole in a wall with steps descending to a lower floor.

I follow her down the stairs and she pushes on a wall, that reveals a room. I follow her in, where

it’s quite dark, and she lights a candle. I turn around, looking at all the things in the room, and go over

to one of the bookshelves and pick up a jar.

‘What is all this stuff?’ I ask.

‘I think they’re items my mother used for spells,’ she says.

‘I'm surprised you found this room. It's so well hidden.’

‘I found it by accident when I was lost. This is what I wanted to show you,’ she says, pulling across

a red velvet curtain, hung between the shelves, on the wall, to reveal a painting. My jaw drops.

‘Hope! That’s you in the portrait! How? I don't understand,’ I ask, shocked.

‘It's not me silly. It's my parents,’ she says, beaming with a smile.

‘You’re identical to your mother. The same eyes, hair, nose!’ I point out, and Hope is smiling.

‘I was wondering, if, maybe, we could display this in a better place, where I can see it every day,’

she says.

Without hesitating, I step closer, and carefully lift it from the wall. It’s heavy and well painted; the

detail is amazing. Hope blows out the candle and we leave the room.

Already knowing the perfect spot to hang it, I enter the large dining room and position it on the

wall, in the centre, where we and the pack can admire it every day.

‘Thank you,’ she says, standing by my side and looping her arm through mine. We stand there in

silence for a few moments, taking in the image of her parents.

‘Pack a bag. I’ll get Alex to get the pack warriors ready,’ I mumble, and before she can walk away, I

quickly grab her wrist, spin her around into my chest, and kiss her lips, and twirl her back around and

let her go.

The pack warriors are ready to leave and Hope comes back downstairs, as Nathan and Sally

return. They have been informed where we are going and who we are visiting.

‘You can't seriously take Hope with you! If he or anyone outside this pack finds out she’s half witch,

she’ll be hunted and killed!’ Nathan says.

‘Nathan, her father is still alive, and has been kept in a dungeon all these years. He probably

doesn't know his mate saved Hope! We need to free him. As for her grandfather, Hope has every right

to justice, for her mother's death. It will avenge my parents’ deaths too!’ I explain.

‘I understand, but I'm coming with you,’ Nathan says, and I nod.

‘That would be good. Sally should stay here with Bella. It's risky as it is,’ I order. Sally opens her

mouth to protest but Nathan shakes his head.

‘Alpha is right. You need to stay here, and stay safe,’ he says, agreeing with me. Sally sighs, and

nods. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

‘Fine,’ she says, crossing her arms in annoyance.

Hope and Sally hug each other goodbye.

‘We will be back before you know it,’ Hope says, smiling at Sally.

‘You’ll bring Nathan back to me, safe and sound, won't you?’ Sally asks, her eyes welling up.

‘Of course,’ Hope replies, with a reassuring smile.

Opening the car door, I help Hope in, sit next to her, and hold her hand, Nathan drives.

‘Just don't swerve like you did the other time,’ I warn.

‘Yes, Alpha,’ Nathan salutes.

‘Alpha Cal knows we’ll be arriving sometime tonight. He said he won’t be signing a peace treaty,

no matter what I say to him. I told him I’d at least like to speak with his son, Levi, briefly. At first, he said

no. I told him I have a big surprise for them, that will change their lives forever. Curiosity got the better

of him and he is allowing us passage into his territory. The look on his face when he sees you is going

to be priceless,’ I beam.

‘Do you think my father will want to see me?’ Hope asks, nervously.

‘Of course, he will want to see you! You're his daughter,’ I say, and she nods.

‘I hope so,’ she says, wistfully. Hope sleeps with her head on my shoulder for the next few hours,

before we arrive in Dark Moon territory. His pack warriors stand up ahead, on the border. Nathan winds

the window down, speaks to a guard, and we are waved through.

My pack warriors aren't far behind. Knowing they aren’t allowed in, they wait, on standby, in case

things get ugly. And if they do, they know to fight their way in, and to us.

We arrive at the very large pack house. I tell Hope to stay hidden behind Nathan. She’ll know

when to make herself known to her father and grandfather.

Alex walks in beside me, while Nathan stays back with Hope. A couple of pack warriors get us to

follow them into a large room where Alpha Cal sits in his large throne-like chair.

‘Alpha Maximus,’ he grimaces.

‘Alpha Cal,’ I smile, and look around the room.

‘Where is your son?’ I ask. Alpha Cal scoffs.

‘I’ll have him brought here when I’m ready to have him here,’ he says.

‘Of course,’ I say, smirking, and crossing my arms.

‘Now, tell me why you are here, and why I shouldn't kill you right now,’ he says, angrily; my smirk

becomes a bigger smile.

‘Well, I'm not here for the peace treaty if that’s what you’re thinking. I know full well there will never

be peace between us,’ I snap.

‘Then why are you here? What is this so-called life changing surprise you speak of?’ He asks.

‘When your son is here, I’ll show you,’ I say, smiling.

Alpha Cal yells for the pack warriors to bring Levi up. They drag him into the room with his wrists

chained. He is underweight and haggard, and covered in dry and fresh blood. I can see the emptiness

in his eyes, and in his soul; he is an empty shell. I give him a sympathetic look, and he slowly looks up,

and makes eye contact with me. His eyes tell a sad story. He doesn't want to live.
