Romeo slammed his palms on the table, making everyone jump.
"No," he said, shaking his head. "No, I will not let them harm a hair on my mate's head."
"Romeo," Helena said in a soft voice as she placed a hand on his arm. "Maybe we need to take a break. The Alpha Rite has your emotions on a high."
Romeo let out a breath and shook his head.
He knew that no matter what, he would still feel the same. He would still want to protect Helena.
"I'm sorry, but what does your mate have to do with the Grand Warlock's Heir?" one of the visiting Alphas asked.
Romeo looked to Helena as she shifted uncomfortably in her seat.
When her father found out that he was mated to the then-daughter of the Alpha of the Stonehill pack, he'd left his family and joined the wolves.
He didn't broadcast to the public who he was. He lived a simple life and even took the Stonehill name rather than asking his wife and daughter to take his.
