Trigger Warning: Suicide attempt. If this topic is distressful for you, then please do not read this chapter and skip to the next chapter when released.With a struggle, I manage to open my eyes. I’m feeling groggy and realise I’m in my room on my bed. My Dad is leaning against a wall with arms crossed and a not-impressed look on his face. My brothers stand in front of my door as if guarding it, and my mother wipes the blood from my arm where I have been bitten. I flinch from the pain and pull my arm away from her as she dabs too close to the bite mark.‘Lylah,’ Dad says. ‘I know you are grieving, but what on earth were you thinking? Attacking Tamara and Vicky like that? They are both seriously hurt!’‘Good! They got what they deserved. I hope they never come near me again!’ ‘Lylah!’ Everyone says.‘They said it’s my fault Micah’s dead. Do you expect me to sit there and listen to them ridicule me and blame me for my mate’s death?’ I argue.‘No, but violence is not the answer, Lylah,’

Chapter 51We are together in the dining room. It’s quiet, but everyone is weary and exhausted after this morning’s ordeal. Everyone has been watching me like a hawk throughout the day. Beth serves us dinner, and my Dad gives me a look after I have been pushing my food around for a while with my fork. I begin to eat my food, and he nods. I manage to eat over half my meal. It’s the most I’ve been able to eat for a long time. I place my fork down and stare at my wrists as I caress my thumbs over the scars. Theo sitting next to me, frowns at the scars but doesn’t say anything.With everyone now finished dinner, I stand. ‘I’m very tired, and you probably are all tired too. I’m going to go to bed,’ I say, leaving the hall. As I enter my room, Amara rushes in behind me.‘Amara?’‘Lylah,’ she says, rubbing her arm nervously. ‘It would give me peace of mind if you would allow me to sleep in your room with you tonight?’‘Amara,’ I sigh, ‘I’m not going to… you know,’ I say, unable to finish the

Chapter 52Pacing back and forth angrily in my room, I punch my wall, grazing my knuckles. I try to read a book for a while but can’t concentrate. All I have on my mind is vengeance. Finally, I toss the book aside and walk out onto my terrace for fresh air.I notice all the local male pack members heading towards the training grounds. My father must have mind-linked all the males over eighteen to begin daily training immediately. Why hasn’t he told me he was starting the training today?With determination on my side, I open the top drawer of my dresser and take out my boxing hand wraps. I put the loop over my thumb, wrapping my wrist and the palm of my hand. Next, I make the crosses across the back, wrapping the material between the fingers. I clench my fist to feel it’s tight and secure, then wrap my other hand the same way.I jump down from my balcony and jog to the training field.As I arrive, men ask each other why I’m there. At the same time, other men check me out. I want to kno
Alpha Maximus Chapter 53
It’s been over nine months since I have gone to the area in the woods where Micah and I would train. Nine months since the flame in my heart went out. Nine months since I lost my true love and fated mate. It hasn’t gotten easier. It’s only become harder living another day without him. My heart has never stopped aching; each day, the pain I feel only worsens. Kayla told me the mate bond could become physically painful for some when your mate dies. She has been giving me potions to help the pain, but in the last couple of months, they haven’t worked as well as they usually would. I tend to keep away from everyone and find somewhere quiet until the pain passes, as I don’t want them to worry more than they already do. It can sometimes last a couple of hours. I have to bite down on a stick I wrap with material to suppress any screams or cries. My heart is so broken that I realise that not even magic or potions could ever fix me. Heading to the training field, I notice a she-wolf racing tow
Alpha Maximus Chapter 54
We all step back and gasp in shock. ‘Wands! This cannot be happening right now of all the times, places and species!’ Soren says, looking between Lord Talon and me. ‘This is not good…’ Nadia says with worry. I point my finger at Lord Talon, ‘Liars!’ I yell, ‘His eyes are red. You did kill them. You killed them all!’ I shout, tears escaping my eyes. I withdraw my dagger. I’m glaring at the vampire who killed my beloved Micah, my fated mate. His eyes flicker like fire as he doesn’t break eye contact with me. I want to kill him, but for some reason, I feel drawn to him as if something is pulling me towards him. He is incredibly handsome and attractive, with a mysterious aura about him. My eyes change from light blue to dark blue every second with mixed emotions. I close my eyes tightly for a moment and tell myself he is responsible for Micah’s death. He killed Micah. I have to kill him now while I have the chance. Lord Talon takes a step forward. I lunge angrily toward him and thrust
Alpha Maximus Chapter 55
Trees, mountains, and rivers fly by us from the intense speed the vampires run. They are so fast that I cannot even fight, argue or speak for Lord Talon to put me down. Finally, after an hour they come to a stop in an open field with low grass. There are some trees and mountains in the distance. I can hear water flowing nearby. I give the darkest glare to Lord Talon as he gently puts me down. He doesn’t respond. I’m relieved our bodies are no longer in contact, stopping the sparks between us. ‘We can’t risk the girl seeing the entrance to our lair. You’re going to have to blindfold her. We also need to feed,’ Soren tells Lord Talon. They all stare at me silently. ‘Don’t you dare even think about it! I refuse to be your meal!’ I yell at them. Soren and Nadia give Lord Talon a sympathetic look. ‘It’s fine,’ Lord Talon says to them. ‘I’ll go find a deer. In the meantime, you two feed and watch the girl while I’m gone,’ ‘It’s Lylah! Not girl!’ I huff. Lord Talon smiles but I scowl ma
Alpha Maximus Chapter 56
Lord Talon raises his hand in the air and lowers me to the ground. As he takes my dagger from my hands, I try to grip it tighter, but his telekinesis stops me. I look at him, surprised as he takes my dagger and cuts the rope from my wrists. I give him a confused look. The wind picks up and blows his long dark wavy hair across his face. ‘Whether your wrists are bound or unbound. Either way, it will not stop you from trying to kill me or running away, but your wound, Lylah,’ he says and softly caresses his fingers beside it. His eyes suddenly turn black from blood lust, and his breathing intensifies, but he quickly regains control, stopping himself from tasting my blood again. I want to slap his fingers away, but I can’t. Instead, the warm feeling from his touch makes my eyes close. ‘You need your wolf to heal it, so Soren and Nadia stop blood lusting for you. They are blood flames and should only be craving each other’s blood for feeds. They shouldn’t be blood lusting after you like th
Alpha Maximus Chapter 57
Lord Talon POVThe moment Soren, Nadia and I arrived at Blue Scale Rock. We could see the werewolves and Lycans were already there. My feet begin to move on their own, and the sweetest scent comes over me. Sweat begins to form across my forehead as I try to stop myself from walking any closer to the pack.‘Lord Talon, is everything okay? You don’t look so good,’ Soren says.‘I’m not sure. I feel strange,’ I tell Soren.‘Stay here, Lord Talon. We will conduct the meeting, and you can join us when you can,’ Nadia says. I nod and gesture for them to go as I fight myself to keep still. What is wrong with me?I listen to the meeting, but the scent comes closer and becomes more alluring. Against my will, I walk toward everyone. Beads of sweat drip from my forehead, and I suddenly realise what has happened. I’ve found my long-awaited blood flame. My fated mate that I’ve desperately waited over two hundred years for. I shake my head, ‘No, it can’t be,’ I say.‘Lord Talon?’ Soren says, confuse
