Chapter 40: Alpha Decisions

’She wants us,’ Ryder said to Romeo as he looked at himself in the mirror.

’Let’s just make sure not to scare her away,’ Romeo chuckled, warning his wolf.

Romeo knew the intense feelings both he and Ryder felt toward Helena and her wolf Hera.

They’d always had the drive to care and protect her, but now that they’d grown up, it was different. There was something more.

He couldn’t imagine a day without Helena.

When Romeo finally stepped out of his room, he was disappointed to find that Helena had already left.

’Why are you so horny that I had to storke one out in the shower again,’ Romeo grumbled annoyed by his own sexual urges due to Helena.

’Sure, blame me,’ Ryder scoffed.

When Romeo finally arrived in the Dinning Hall, he was greeted by the many wolves that had come to visit.

While this was all happening, he could hear Helena’s gentle laughter along with a few other women.

’She made friends,’ he chuckled, telling his wolf.

’At least it’s she-wolves,’ Ryder commented.

’You’re even more possessive than I am,’ Romeo pointed out to his wolf.

Ryder ignored him as he settled, knowing that Helena wasn’t spending time with male wolves.

Romeo trusted Helena. They weren’t in a relationship anyway, but it was the male wolves that he didn’t trust.

Helena was gorgeous and quite a catch, as Kade had repeatedly said. Any man would be lucky if she chose to be with him.

"We need to talk," Neil whispered as he glanced at Kade, who was watching Helena.

Romeo nodded in response and excused himself, walking away to a more secluded part of the banquet hall.

He glared at Kade who continued to watch Helena’s every move.

If there weren’t any guests he would have attacked his soon to be Gamma for the way he watched the future Luna.

"Is he making a move on my mate?" Romeo asked as he let out a growl.

Neil followed Romeo’s loaded gaze and sighed.

"No, no one is trying to take Helena from you," Neil told Romeo. "If anything, they are either too afraid of you or afraid of her."

"So what’s wrong?" Romeo asked.

"Sara caused a scene again," Neil informed Romeo.

Ryder took control for a quick moment and let out a deep growl.

"Helena handled it, but she asked us to throw Sara out," Neil reported.

"It’s good you stayed close to her," Romeo said as she gave his Beta a pleased smile.

"She didn’t need me," Neil shrugged. "But do you have any instructions on dealing with Sara?"

Romeo remained silent for a while as he considered his options.

The fact that Neil was asking him meant that his father had given the go signal for Romeo to deal with Sara as he saw fit.

The problem with Sara was that she hadn’t exactly done anything dangerous yet. But it was that yet that made Romeo nervous.

There was also the matter of dealing with her family.

While Romeo and his father prided themselves in treating all their pack members equally, Sara’s family was a family of warriors. They were important, especially now when there were unknown threats to the packs.

"Put her in a holding cell," Romeo declared. "Then tomorrow we’ll go for a visit and talk to her family. I’m sure she’ll change her tune after the Blood Moon Ball."

Neil nodded.

"By the way, what’s Kade doing watching Helena like that?" Romeo asked.

"He’s going to be your Gamma," Neil said as a matter of factly as if Romeo was supposed to understand what that meant.

"And so?" Romeo asked Neil.

Neil rolled his eyes and sighed.

"You go stupid for Helena, and that’s a bad thing," Neil teased.

"I do not," Romeo argued.

"You vanished that night in the bar when you slept with her," Neil chuckled. "She could have drugged you."

"I did not—" Romeo growled.

"We know you did," Neil laughed even louder. "One moment you’re crazy about a woman you slept with, a woman you thought was your mate, and then the next moment you’ve forgotten about her."

"I never said—" Romeo tried to argue.

"Romeo, we know you," Neil teased. "It was her right, the woman at the bar."

Romeo nodded slowly, confirming that he’d been with Helena that night.

"Happy for you, man, anyway, you’ve forgotten that a Gamma’s first duty is to protect his Luna," Neil reminded Romeo.

Romeo felt stupid for forgetting that and letting his jealousy take over.

"He’s watching her for you, but once you’re around he’ll go find a she-wolf to fuck," Romeo and Neil both laughed.

Romeo looked at Helena, and his heart melted at the sight of her arguing playfully with other she-wolves.

He couldn’t help but wonder how lonely it had been for her to be on the road as the ambassador for so many years.

"Is that all you wanted to talk to me about?" Romeo asked as he kept his eyes glued on Helena.

"Yeah, go get our Luna," Neil said as he patted Romeo’s shoulder.

Romeo found himself moving toward Helena, drawn to her like a moth to a flame.

When he was close enough, he caught bits and pieces of their conversation.

"Washes often get heated," a she-wolf giggled. "It often ends in—"

Washes? Like the ritual bath he and Helena were supposed to take before his Alpha Rite.

If he wasn’t mistaken, the she-wolf speaking was one of the girls that had harrassed him when they arrived.

"Do not finish that sentence," Rae scolded.

Romeo held back a laugh. Oh, it was definitely the Ritual bath. He’d heard how some Alphas were conceived during that bath.

"Anything else you’ve been hiding from me about the Rite?" Helena asked as she glared at Rae.

Romeo smiled as he watched Helena with the girls.

"There’s more?!" Helena asked, raising her voice, to which she was greeted by another bout of laugher.

Romeo decided to put her out of her misery.

He walked up behind Helena and drapped an arm around her shoulder.

"There you are," He greeted her, kissing her on the cheek, making her blush.

"Oh, they’re definitely mates," he heard someone comment, making him smile.

He liked this group of she-wolves, that was for sure.
