The Orphaned Alpha's Daughter

Romie's Pov

Romie's Pov

I left the dungeon thinking about Helena's struggles lately. I know she must have hated me by now.

No matter what, I still love Helena, but her face was a constant reminder of her father.

I couldn't help but remember what he did to my parents anytime I saw her face. I wish I had a way to show Helena how I loved her, but then, she must face the torture her father was meant to face in my hands.

I paced around my room waiting for Helena.

Just then, a maiden ran into my room telling me Daphne was poisoned.

“What?” I exclaimed, my eyes widening as I followed the maiden along to Daphne's room.

Daphne was lying sick on the bed, her eyes weak.

“Alpha…” She whispered, her voice was soft and gentle.

My eyes narrowed. “What happened to you?” I asked, though I had my suspicions. “The maiden told me you're poisoned, how possible?”

Daphne clenched her bed spray sheet. “I don't know, alpha.” She paused, sniffing softly. “It's Wolfsbane.”

I shrugged. “Who would even think of that?

“Helena…” Daphne muttered, her voice was firm.

“Helena? I'm not sure.” I chuckled softly, shaking my head. “Helena can't even hurt a fly.”

“You don't know Helena, my lord.” Daphne spat, her lips curling into a snare. “She's always been jealous of our relationship, she'd do anything to get to me.”

I looked at Daphne’s eyes, and it was obvious she was lying.

Daphne sat up on the bed, her gaze tender. “Please help me, alpha.” She muttered.

“Yeah, Daphne,” I nodded, licking my lips. “I'll ask Dr. Lucas to come check you up quickly.”

Daphne shrugged, her face frowned. “That won't work.”

I looked at her, astonished, raising an eyebrow.

“Mate with me, Romie.” She said, grabbing my hands. “Mating with an alpha will help me heal faster.”

“Daphne…” I whispered, my voice gentle.

“I love you, Romie,” she interrupted, caressing the back of my hand with her tom. “You know I've loved you since we were kids.”

“I… I - I can't, Daphne.”

But before I could utter all I had in mind, her lips were already entangled in mine in a deep kiss.

I enjoyed the moment for a while before resisting. “Daphne, Daphne stop!” I spat, as I abruptly got up from the bed. “I’m sorry, Daphne. We can't do this?”

Daphne’s face fell. “W - why?” She asked, her voice cracked. “But…” she paused, her hands clenched.

I swallowed hard, looking away from her. “I'll get the pack doctor.” I added as I left her room.

As I got back to my room, Helena was already cleaning up, waiting for me.

I quickly grabbed her hands and pushed her to my bed, my body leaning against hers.

“Romie, Romie don't. Please, I beg you.” She begged, her eyes filled with tears.

“You don't call me by my name. I'm your alpha, you lowly slave.” I scoffed, biting my lips. “Isn't this what you always wanted?”

Her face fell, her eyes darting to the side. “Not anymore” she said. “Not after everything you've done to me.”

“Well,” I chuckled a bit. “You're my slave, and I have the right to do whatever I want with you.”

“Why, Romie?” She asked, her voice low.

I laughed softly, withdrawing myself away from her. I sat up.

“Do you think I ever liked you?” I laughed. “Your father killed my father who was the alpha and took over his pack.”

Helena's eyes narrowed, looking at me amused. She remained numb. She didn't know what to say.

“Oh yeah… It happened a long time ago - when I was 10. But I never forgot.” I nodded slowly, my face darkened. “Your father enslaved me; From an alpha's son to a slave.” I chuckled softly, biting my lips.

My eyes darted at her in a hard gaze. “I'm doing the same thing to you, Helena, from an alpha’s daughter to a slave.” I said, as I held her on the bed, leaning in. “I'll do whatever I want with you.”

“Please, Romie. Please, my alpha.” She kept begging, tears rolling down from her eyes.

But before she could finish, I had already pulled on my clothes and undressed her. I forced myself into her, and we mated.

I felt like I had just satisfied a lifetime of hunger and desire, but Helena cried all through the moment.

My heart drummed loudly, it could literally be heard.

My face frowned as I got up from the bed, panting softly. “Get out!” I ordered, pointing towards the door.

“What?” Helena growled, her voice filled with pain and wrath. “You dare not, Romie.”

“Hmm…” I muttered, my nostrils flared as I crossed my arms over my chest, my eyes fixed on Helena.

Helena darted her eyes sideways, sobbing quietly. Her expression was filled with wrath.

My lips pursed, still looking at Helena. “I'm still waiting, Helena.” I muttered, letting out a soft chuckle. “I said you should get out…. You're going to obey my orders, Helena.”

Helena turned, her gaze hard. “You can't have me and throw me like trash.” She spat, her eyes rolling. “You'll make me Luna.”

I tried to resist, but I couldn't help it. I laughed out loud, my voice echoing round the room.

“Lu - Lu…. Lu what?” I asked sarcastically. I couldn't control another outburst of laughter, slightly placing his finger above his lips.

My face frowned, pointing my finger towards her as a warning sign. “Now you listen to me, Helena…”

Helena's gaze was unwavering.

“You had better know your position. You're a slave, and I'll only use you to satisfy my urge and nothing more.” I spat, my voice hard. “Now, Get out.” I growled, as I grabbed and dragged her out of my room.

“Hey,” I gestured to one of my guards. “Go lock her up in the dungeon.”

Helena cried bitterly as she was dragged back to the dungeon. I could feel her pain, but I knew she would get over it soon.

Just then, Daphne stormed into my room, her eyes filled with tears. “You mated with her, right?” she asked, her expression pale. She nodded slowly and said, “I'll make sure she pays for this.”

My eyes widened. “Don't hurt Helena..” I warned, cracking my knuckles. “If anything happens to Helena, you'll have me to contend with.”

Daphne nodded slowly, her lips twisted to the side. “Watch me do it, Alpha.” She bowed hesitantly and left my presence.
