Future Alphas On The Mat

It felt like there were more people in the sparring area than earlier when she'd gone against Sara and Kade.

When Helena had gone up against Sara, she knew all eyes were on them. When it was against Kade, most wolves were sparring, so that might just be it.

"Seems like news travels fast," Raul said as he stood to the side, now joined by both his Beta and Gamma.

"Well, it's the future Alpha and future—" Neil began to say before he was cut off midsentence.

Helena was surprised to see that Rae was now among their audience, and she seemed to be the one that had stopped Neil from whatever comment he was about to make.

"Shouldn't you be helping Mom today?" Helena shot her stepsister a glare.

"I wanted to get out of training, but if there's entertainment like this, then I'm not missing it," Rae chuckled. "It's not everyday Romeo has his ass handed to him."

"And how sure are you Helena will be kicking my ass?" Romeo asked as he smiled at his sister.

"Cause she kicks your ass both on and off the mat!" Neil shouted.

Romeo simply smiled and shook his head.

"I guess people decided this was going to be something fun to watch," Helena sighed as she crouched down, ready to be either on offense or defense.

"Then let's give them a show, Helena," Romeo said as he slowly said her name as if he were savoring every syllable as it passed his lips.

'He's in for a shock,' Hera commented.

'Nine years is a lot of time for improvement,' Helena chuckled. 'But let's be on our guard too, we both know how strong these Alphas can be.'

'We've handed a few Alphas their asses in the past,' Hera reminded her.

'Romeo is stronger than those Alphas. He's always been one of the strongest,' Helena said as she heard Alpha Raul clear his throat.

"I think it's important that we establish some rules for this bout since both wolves are dangerous enough to kill even in human form," Raul announced.

Across from her, Romeo tilted his head as if to study her or maybe question what he's father had just said.

Raul and Alyssa were sent regular updates on Helena's progression in warrior school, so he was well aware of just how dangerous she'd become. Romeo, on the other hand, didn't even know where she'd run off to.

"This fight will be done in human form until someone submits or I call the match," Raul announced. "Knowing these two, I'll have to call the match."

"But Dad," Helena pouted.

She knew that Raul would call it too soon, not knowing just how much pain she could take.

"Dad is right, till he calls it," Romeo said, backing his father up. "I don't want to hurt you too much, Helena."

Helena could see the worry etched in Romeo's expression. Was he worried that she couldn't take him or that she wouldn't know her own limits?

"You shouldn't be worried about me hurting you, Rome," Helena said as a mischievous smile played on her lips. "You should be worried about how much pain you'll be in."

Romeo chuckled and shook his head, "Bring it on, Helena."

"Are you two done flirting yet?!" Rae called out from the side.

There were several snickers from the crowd, but Helena shot her best friend a finger and rolled her eyes.

"Ready!" Raul called out. "Start!"

The pair circled each other, waiting and watching.

'Let's make his sweat.' Helena told her wolf as she made the move to attack first.

Romeo didn't dodge. Instead, he took her attack head on and was shocked to find himself on his ass.

"Fuck, that's hot," Kade called out from the sidelines.

"Dead man walking," Neil chuckled.

"Damn, you really have a death wish!" Rae teased.

'Does he know how beautifully you come undone for me, Love?' Romeo asked through their link.

"Too stunned to get up, Alpha?" Helena taunted.

"Just enjoying the view," Romeo said as he tackled Helena to the ground.

They grappled for a bit until Helena managed to send a knee to Romeo's side, forcing him to let her go.

She refused to fall for the same trick twice and managed to dodge him as he tried to take her down again.

Using her speed to her advantage, Helena twisted her body and sent a kick to Romeo's back.

He grunted but seemed a little bit more prepared this time as he turned to catch her.

Romeo pushed Helena, throwing her across the mat with a grunt.

"Helena!" Rae gasped at the impact.

Romeo paused as a look of worry crossed his face. He made a move that seemed to be him rushing to her side, but Helena shook her head and raised her hand.

"I'm fine," she grunted.

"Dad, call the fight!" Romeo shouted.

"Romeo, I said I'm fine," Helena argued as she got up, raised her hands, and spun around. "I'm not some porcelain doll that needs to be handled with care!"

"I threw you across the mat. Obviously, you aren't fragile!" Romeo argued back.

"Dad, don't call it," Helena argued as she glared at Romeo.

"Dad!" Romeo called out.

"You guys sound like a bunch of kids arguing about who gets to use the TV next or something," Neil grumbled.

"Shut it, Neil," both Romeo and Helena said at the same time.

"Helena says she can handle it, Romeo," Raul called out, his voice sounding as if he was trying to hold back a laugh. "Resume."

Helena smiled as she got her way.

She didn't waste a single moment, attacking Romeo, throwing jabs and punches.

"Fuck, love," Romeo hissed as he tried to block her. "When did you get this good?"

"Threatened?" she questioned him.

"No, it just makes me want you more, Helena," Romeo said in a deep, seductive voice as Helena swept her leg below Romeo, making him fall on his back.

Helena moved to pin Romeo, but he rolled away and caught her leg, pulling him to the ground with her.

She knew she had to move fast, or Romeo would have the upper hand. She tried to move away, but Romeo had no plans of letting her go.

He pushed her down on the ground and pinned her, pressing his front against her back.

Helena froze as she felt his dick rub against her ass.

It took everything in her not to moan as he rubbed it against her in a subtle motion.

"Like that, love?" Romeo whispered in a low enough voice that no one else could hear. "I think I quite enjoy having you like this."

Helena grunted as she tried to free herself but to no avail. Romeo just wouldn't move.

Romeo flippled her over and pinned her arms above her head as Helena continued to struggle.

Lowering his head, Helena could feel his warm breath against her lips.

"If only I could have you like this every night," Romeo whispered.

"Don't you fucking dare," Helena answered back. "Not in front of the entire pack."

"I think they'd quite enjoy it," Romeo chuckled.

"Don't," she answered.

"Why not?" Romeo asked in a deep voice. "Why are you fighting this, Helena?"

"I just—" Helena began to say when they were interrupted.

"Sorry to break this up," Raul said as his voice carried across the sparring area and people groaned in disappointment.

"Off, Romeo," Helena hissed.

"Some of the visiting Alphas and their pack members have arrived. I'm gonna need both Romeo and Helena with me," Raul announced.

"This isn't over, Helena," Romeo said as he brushed his nose against her neck. "Next time I have you in this position, you'll be moaning my name."
