Chapter 16

　　Alpha Maximus

　　I relay the conversation I had with Alex to Hope, explaining our plan.

　　‘No! Max! What if something happens to you and you get hurt, or killed?’ She argues.

　　‘I'm a lycan, not a werewolf. I have the strength of three alphas put together. If I take them out, one by one, they can’t kill me,’ I explain.

　　‘What if the pack members attack you?’

　　‘Hopefully they don’t. If I’m careful enough to not be seen I should be able to take the whole lot on,’ I explain.

　　‘If it's a large pack?’

　　‘It won't come to that.’

　　‘You don't know that!’ She says.

　　‘Hope, whatever happens to me doesn't matter. What matters is your survival and your safety,’ I explain.

　　Hope storms off into the bathroom and shuts the door behind her. I hear her crying and it breaks my heart. I tap on the door.

　　‘I'm sorry I upset you,’ I say, softly, through the door. She opens the door.
