Alpha Maximus The Last Lycan novel Chapter 6

Alpha Maximus

My Beta and Gamma help chain me up in the dungeon. I sit in a metal chair covered with huge chains. Nathan injects Wolfsbane into my arm, which helps to weaken my Lycan when he takes over. Wolfsbane is a poison used against werewolves and Lycans. It's one of the few that can weaken us. It's a purple flower like lavender. It's banned in most places, but we grow this plant here in Woodford. Our Alchemist, Kayla, creates the potions and medicines for us. I'm the last Lycan alive. Lycans dwindled in number because most never found their mates to keep breeding. It gives my Lycan, Chaos and I the fear that we will never find our mate. Every Full Moon, I lose all control over my Lycan, putting my pack in danger of being killed. The only way to stop me from hurting anyone or killing them is to have myself chained up in the dungeon until the sun rises. Lycans were extremely rare amongst werewolves. We are so strong that one Lycan could take on a few alphas at once, being greatly feared by all, even by my own pack members. Most of the time, I have been strong enough to control my Lycan, but on a full moon, I lose all control.

My Beta Alex closes and locks the iron-barred door. "Okay, Alpha Maximus, we will see you in the morning," Alex says, waving.

"Don't break out this time. I'd rather not have to refurnish the pack house again," Nathan smirks.

"I can't help that my Lycan has become more aggressive and stronger. It's been months since he has spoken to me!" I retort.

"Relax, Alpha, we have more Wolfsbane if needed, and these chains are much stronger. You will be fine," Nathan says, reassuring me.

I give him a nod and watch them leave. I'm feeling a bit dizzy from the Wolfsbane. I stare at the cuffs and chains around my wrists, then up at the Moon hole in the ceiling and wait for the full moon to begin.

My bones begin to break, and fur spreads all over my body. Finally, I shift into my Lycan and let out a ferocious roar that all of Dark Moon pack and beyond can hear.

Chaos has full control now. He fights against the chains in anger and agitation. Hours pass, and he is still trying to break free with no signs of slowing down.

Chaos... I know you won't talk to me, but I want you to know I'm here. I feel your anger and your frustration too. I mind-link.

He lets out another terrifying roar at my words.

We will find her, Chaos. I won't give up looking for her. I tell him.

Free me now, and I will find her myself! Chaos growls.

I can't let you out of here until I have full control again! I argue with him.

Another ferocious roar echoes throughout the pack house.

You know you're only pissing the pack off even more if your keep waking them up and scaring them! I tell him.

The night is almost over. My bones break, and I shift back into human form. I Mind-link Alex to unchain me.

"How was your night?" I ask Alex.

He scrunches his face up, "Well, that depends... do you want me to tell the truth or lie?" he says.
