Alpha Maximus：The last lycan

　　Running as fast as I can back to the car, shadows whip past me. I slip, fall, and roll a few metres.

　　There are three wolves in front of me, who shift into their human forms and approach me.

　　‘Come. We will safely return you to Alpha Tate,’ one offers.

　　‘No, I don't want to go back there. I want to stay with Max,’ I say, shaking my head.

　　‘But Alpha Tate is your mate. Why would you want to stay with a lycan?’ The man asks.

　　‘They’re both my mates. I rejected Alpha Tate,’ I explain. The men look at each other in shock.

　　‘You rejected Alpha Tate to be with that thing? That monster?’ He asks.

　　‘Yes, and I would reject Alpha Tate again if I could. Now let me pass,’ I say.

　　‘You must be crazy. I don't think you’re in the right frame of mind. Just come with us to the house and we will get the doctor to check you out. Maybe you hit your head or something. You're not thinking clearly,’ he gestures.

　　‘No, I told you. I’m staying with Max,’ I say.

　　‘This she-wolf has lost the plot boys. Let’s take her to the pack house,’ he yells.

　　He grabs my arm and I slap him across the face, which is a shock to me. The man rubs his cheek, and glares at me.

　　‘You’re as feral as that damn lycan!’ He says.

　　He runs off towards the bloody battle of at least one hundred wolves. Knowing Nathan and Max can’t protect me right now while they tear shreds off other wolves, I run to the trees and pray to the Moon Goddess I can get away from the men running after me.

　　I can't outrun them unless I shift, but Storm hasn't been talking to me and I know she’s too afraid to shift.

　　The three men pounce on me, and hold me down. Two of them lock my arms in theirs and escort me back to the pack house.
