Is It Wrong To Love My StepBrother Alpha Mate?
Chapter 48: Poisoned

Chapter 48: Poisoned

He ran.

He ran as fast as he could and prayed to the Moon Goddess that he’d make it to her in time.

Romeo fought against the rebel wolves, blocking them with his warriors as they tried to get to Helena. He thought they’d gotten rid of the threat, only for him to turn and find the fallen Alpha’s beta stabbing Helena in the back.

Helena had killed the man.

She’d done it in such a single swift action that Romeo stood in awe of the woman he loved.

He gave a silent prayer to the Moon Goddess that she would protect Helena before charging to join her.

It was a knife wound. He knew Helena could handle the injury. Her body should be able to heal itself fast enough, but for some reason, he watched as she paled.

"Romeo," he heard her gasp in a small voice.

He caught her as she fell atoward the ground. He held her to his chest and shook her.

"Helena, baby," he called out, hoping she’d open her eyes.

He could hear her heart beating, but it was faint.

Romeo lifted her in his arms, ready to protect her from attackers.

To his surprise, almost all lay dead on the ground.

"Get me the pack doctor, now," Romeo ordered as he ran toward the Red River Pack hospital.

When he arrived, the medical team was ready.

"She’s healing, but she lost consciousness," Romeo told the doctor as he placed Helena on the hospital bed. "She’s strong, this shouldn’t happen to her."

The doctor nodded as he directed the nurses to check Helena’s vitals.

"This is the knife they stabbed her with," Kade said as he handed it to Romeo.

Romeo didn’t need to give the knife to anyone else, he could smell the wolfsbane infused with the blade.

"Fuck, they poisoned her," Romeo hissed as he handed it back to Kade. "Deal with it."

Kade took the knife and secured it.

"Is Mom safe?" Romeo asked.

After Helena had pushed her mother aside, Romeo made sure that his father’s Gamma, Norton, had brought her to safety.

"Gamma Norton and a few warriors are with her now in the pack house," Kade reported. "Do you want me to have the new pack members watched?"

Romeo shook his head.

A few insurgents weren’t the fault of the whole.

"Get Beta Daniel here," Romeo said.

Kade nodded and hesitated before leaving.

"What is it?" Romeo asked as he watched the doctors hover around Helena.

"I think you did the right thing naming Daniel as one of your Betas," Kade said, his tone sounded sincere.

"You’re not mad that it wasn’t you?" Romeo asked his future Gamma.

Kade shook his head and smiled at Romeo.

"I don’t want that responsibility, plus I’m hoping I could be Beta of Stonehill someday," Kade said with a wink.

Romeo laughed and shook his head.

"You’ll have to convince her that she’ll be Alpha someday," Romeo pointed out.

"She’ll make an amazing Alpha," Kade said. He walked back to Romeo and placed a hand on his shoulder. "She’ll be fine, Alpha. She’s strong, she’s a fighter."

Romeo nodded, his gaze never straying from Helena’s.

When Daniel arrived with Kade, Romeo gave them instructions on how to modify the border. The two men also informed him that there were no survivors. It seemed that the warriors from all three packs did not take kindly to the traitors who wanted to kill their future Luna.

"Luna Alyssa wants to visit her daughter," Kade informed Romeo after they discussed what was next for the former Red River Pack.

"Is it safe?" he asked Kade.

He trusted that his Gamma would make sure that the pack was secured.

"It is. The threat is gone, and I feel we can trust the members that stayed," Kade declared.

"Let Mom visit," Romeo said with a nod, dismissing his Beta and Gamma.

When he was finally alone the doctor approached him.

"We’ve flushed the poison out of her system," the doctor told him. "You can ask a doctor from your pack to come and make sure we did a proper job with the Luna."

Romeo shook his head.

"You are part of our pack now," he said with a serious tone. "You are a pack doctor of the Blackmoon Pack and, by extension, the Stonehill pack as well. I think I can trust you."

The doctor looked shocked but smiled.

"I hope you don’t mind, Alpha, but we took some blood from the Luna to run some tests," he told Romeo.

"It’s fine. I wanna make sure there is no poison left in her system," he told the doctor.

Romeo looked at Helena, who was now peacefully sleeping.

"You know they attacked her and her mother because they wanted to break your packs," the doctor told Romeo, who responded with a nod.

"I don’t think they realized how powerful she is," Romeo said as he continued to watch her. He was happy she was out of danger, happy that she was now well and breathing.

"Go to her, talk to her, it’ll help," the doctor said before excusing himself.

Romeo took a deep breath and made his way to Helena’s side.

He pulled up a chair, sat down, and took Helena’s hand in his.

Kissing it, he could feel as the tears fell from his eyes.

"Helena, love, Mom is safe, the pack is safe," he told her. "Come back to me."

He stayed there, holding her hand, talking to her about all the trouble they would get into when they were kids.

He waited for her to open her eyes and wake up, but nothing.

He’d seen wolves get posioned, and many didn’t make it, but he knew Helena. He knew she was stronger than most wolves.

Her heartbeat was strong, and she was no longer pale.

Romeo didn’t know how long he had been talking to Helena when Alyssa arrived.

When she saw her daughter, she broke down and began to cry.

"Don’t worry, Mom," Romeo said as he pulled his stepmother into a hug. "She’s strong, she’ll fight it, and she’ll make it."
