Helena watched on nervously as the members of the Blackmoon pack swore their loyalty to Romeo.
Their oaths were different from hers.
As the Alpha Heir to the Stonehill pack, Helena couldn't fully swear herself to the Blackmoon pack. Her oath was simply an oath of allegiance between Blackmoon and Stonehill, an oath that made the two packs the most formidable allied packs.
No other Alpha Heir would willingly make the same oath she did.
"He's Alpha," Kade said as he stood by Helena's side.
"And you're a Gamma," she chuckled, giving her friend a nudge on the shoulder.
Kade laughed and shook his head.
"I never aimed to be Gamma of the Blackmoon pack," he told Helena.
"And yet here you are," Helena said as she gave him a smile.
Kade sighed and looked up at the moon.
They all knew, everyone knew. The Blood Moon was coming sooner than expected.
"The ball," Kade sighed.
"It can be moved up to tonight. All the guests are already here anyway," Helena shrugged.
