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.
