Maxim

DEVON'S POV

I can't believe it; Maxim is back after all these years. He came back with full force, rolling over his hatred for my dad to me. Dad spent most of his life fighting him off; despite losing so many times, Maxim refused to back down, and for some strange reason, Dad refused to kill him off for good. 

Some people said dad let him live so many times because he was a merciful man who couldn't hurt a soul, even if that soul brought war to his doorstep too many times to count. But I wasn't buying that; I'm convinced dad only let him live because he loved the attention Maxim gave him. 

Most wolves quickly moved on from the past, moving on from the glory days of his youth, when he was feared for his renowned strength far and wide. People basically worshiped and feared him, but as he grew older, he slowly lost his relevance, and he wasn't happy about that. He longed to be held in high esteem like he used to.
