Is It Wrong To Love My StepBrother Alpha Mate? -
Chapter 64: Pack Run
Chapter 64: Pack Run
Helena had half the thought to run.
She’d considered making the sprint from the temple to the packhouse and out of the Blackmoon territory, but she knew she couldn’t outrun Romeo. Especially now that he’d gotten the confirmation he’d been waiting for.
’We’ve known for a while,’ Hera said as Helena looked down at her hands.
Things moved quickly as Romeo pulled her into his arms and kissed her.
All her doubts and hesitation vanished as soon as his lips came crashing into hers.
Before tonight, she found comfort and peace in his arms, but as he engulfed her in his large frame, it felt like more. It felt like she was home.
"Finally," Romeo sighed as their lips parted.
’Mate,’ Hera purred in her head, giving her the confirmation she didn’t need to hear.
"I told you we were mates," Romeo teased her as he kissed her again, this time pressing a chaste kiss on her lips.
"I know," she said, doing her best to smile.
She was a whirlwind of emotions, unsure of what to feel.
She was happy.
Of course, she was happy.
The man she’d loved all her life, the man who had loved her, was her mate. The Bloodmoon came early, it seemed the Moon Goddess refused to let her walk away from him again.
"Is something wrong, love?" Romeo asked as he placed his finger below her chin and lifted it so that he could clearly see her eyes.
His gaze seemed worried, making Helena frown.
She shook her head and sighed.
"No, everything is fine. It’s perfect," she said, smiling a little brighter this time.
’I don’t want to think of the consequences,’ she told Hera. ’For once, I want to be selfish and to be with the person I love.’
’No arguments from me there,’ Hera purred.
Helena could feel that her wolf was stronger. She also seemed happier.
It was, without a doubt, the effect of finding her mate.
"Look," Romeo whispered as he guided her to look off the stage.
All around them members of their pack and their guests were coming together, finding their mates.
"It’s not just us," Romeo said as she gave her a nudge.
Helena looked to her side and found Kade chasing after Rae, making Helena laugh.
"I guess I’m not the only one that hesitated," Helena teased.
Romeo kissed her again, holding her tight, refusing to let go.
"The Rite isn’t over," Helena whispered in his ears. "As much as I want to spend the rest of the day consumating our bond, I think we need to finish the Rite."
Romeo frowned and sighed.
"I’m not the only one that’s going to be reluctant to do this," Romeo purred in her ear.
"Well, the forest is a huge place. I’m sure we can find some privacy," she said, springing Romeo into action.
He turned to face the crowd and cleared his throat, drawing the attention of the crowd to him.
When the Alpha called, the pack answered.
"As happy as it makes me that more than the average amount of wolves have found their mates today, my gorgeous mate and your Luna just reminded me that we still need to finish the Rite," Romeo announced.
His words were greeted by both groans and cheers, making Romeo laugh and shake his head in response.
Next to them, Raul smiled as he pulled his own mate into his arms.
"What’s next, Dad?" Romeo asked as he looked to the Alpha.
"We run under the Goddess’s light," Raul said as he looked up at the Bloodmoon. "Think you kids can keep it in your pants enough to do a pack run, the first pack run with your new Alpha?"
Raul’s words were greeted by cheers as Romeo took Helena’s hand and helped her down from the stage.
As Alpha and Luna, they were expected to lead the run.
"I don’t want them to see you naked," Romeo groaned.
"Romeo," Helena sighed. "I’ve shifted in front of our pack so many times."
"It’s different now," Romeo said as he kissed the crook of her neck where his mark would go.
Helena laughed and shook her head.
He was being silly, but she also knew that Alphas tended to be possessive to the point that it was unreasonable at times.
"I’ll shift behind the tree," she told Romeo as she kissed his lips. "Will that make you happy?"
"Yes," he quickly answered, as if he didn’t even have to think of an answer.
Helena laughed again before walking away.
She could feel his eyes on her as she moved behind the tree.
’Is it safe to shift?’ she asked Hera.
’It is safe,’ her wolf confirmed.
Helena didn’t bother waiting, she simply stripped off her dress and shifted.
Long ago, when she was young shifting had hurt, but now she slipped into her wolf form so easily that within seconds she moved from behind the trees, joining the rest of her pack.
"You’re gorgeous, Hera," Romeo said, greeting her wolf.
Hera yipped in approval, making Romeo laugh.
He looked at her with so much love that Helena couldn’t help but bask in it’s warmth.
"Let’s run!" Romeo announced as he stripped off his shirt and relived himself of his pants as he began shifting.
In wolf form, Romeo was even larger. His wolf’s dark black coat was the source of the pack’s name.
All Blackmoon Alphas had midnight black fur, and all of them were large and powerful.
Romeo, now in wolf form, howled and broke out into a run with Helena quick on his heels.
The rest of the pack and guests quickly followed suit.
At the head of the run Ryder and Hera playfully chased each other until Hera suddenly stopped.
They’d been ahead of everyone, but they could still hear the thundring of paws behind them.
’Something’s wrong,’ Hera said through the link.
’Romeo,’ Helena said, drawing Romeo’s attention.
’What is it my ma—’ just as Romeo spoke Helena felt a pain to her side as she was pushed to the ground.
She heard the growling of wolves and smelt the unfamiliar scent of different packed wolves.
They were under attack again.
