Alpha Maximus：The last lycan

　　We waltz up the road and all the men’s eyes are on me. Some of their girlfriends slap them to stop them staring at me and pay attention to them. Max has his arm over my shoulder to show I’m taken. It’s really cute. We want to order food but I don't want to sit inside the restaurant.

　　‘Do you think we can eat our food over there?’ I ask Max, pointing to a lush garden.

　　‘Sure, if that's what you want to do,’ he says; I nod and smile.

　　We eat from cute little rice boxes. Max tries to show me how to use chopsticks, but I’m not very good at it, so he feeds me with the chopsticks.

　　‘Oh, this is too cute, Alpha! Watching you feed our Luna,’ Nathan says with a grin. We laugh and keep eating. When we are finished, Max lies on the grass, and I straddle him and cuddle him. Nathan wanders off to give us some alone time. Max puts his arms around my back and we stay like this for a while.

　　He sits up and we kiss, unable to keep our hands off each other. Cars beep at us, and people whistle at us.

　　Nathan returns.

　　‘Come on lovebirds. We should get back to the hotel. It's getting dark. And it wouldn't surprise me if Alpha Liam has people keeping tabs on us,’ he says.

　　‘Why would they follow us?’ I ask.

　　‘We will talk about it at the hotel,’ Max says. Standing, I hold Max's hand, and we walk back to the hotel, constantly staring and smiling at each other.

　　In our hotel room, Max grabs me around the waist, sits on the couch, and pulls me onto his lap.

　　‘I have some not so good news to tell you,’ Nathan says, nervously.

　　‘When I wandered off, I contacted Alpha Mark of Wolf Mire pack, the next pack we will go past. Alpha Tate has told all of the packs the same story he told Alpha Liam. Alpha Liam has told the other packs about our altercation with Silent Howl pack. All alphas, except for Alpha Dan, of Moon Fall pack, have agreed it’s in their best interests to eradicate you.’

　　I look at Max in shock, my eyes well up, and he rubs my back.

　　‘There's more...’ Nathan says.

　　‘They claim Hope is a witch and must also be eradicated.’ I gasp and Max growls.
