Caught Between Two Alphas

CHAPTER 004

HELENA'S POINT OF VIEW

Staring at my reflection, I stood in front of the mirror and stared at it. Compared to Sofia, my naked physique appeared to be so unremarkable. Even though I was standing there naked, I had the sensation that I was invisible. My chest was smaller, and my hips were barely bent.

An abrupt ringing sound from my phone caused me to jump. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen as my heart raced. My father? Never before had he called me on the phone. I was completely unaware that he had my phone number.

I allowed myself to believe for a brief moment that he was reaching out to me because he was concerned. It was possible that they had finally understood my value. It's possible that they intended to express their regret for coercing me into getting married.

A sour laugh came out of my mouth. Given that the father had never shown regret to Sofia, it is perplexing that he would do so to his younger daughter.

The phone rang once more. Once I had taken a few deep breaths, I responded. "Hello?"

"Why did you not pick up the first time?" The speaker was suddenly filled with the icy and piercing sound of Mother's voice.

It made me cringe. "I-I was in the bathroom." My tongue was acrid with the taste of the lie.

Her voice was extremely urgent as she inquired, "Is he there?"

"Who?"

Helena, are you acting like a fool? Is there anyone else I might possibly be referring to besides the Lycan King? Please do not confide in me that you are going to spend the night with another man!

The manner in which she went about describing me, like if I were some common w***e, caused my stomach to turn.

"I am currently staying at the hotel. It's been a few minutes since he left. In an effort to suppress the sting of tears, I forced the words out of my mouth.

"He left you alone?"

Certainly, Mother. The likelihood is that he is with some person.

Don't bring up the fact that I gave birth to someone who is similar to you! I don't see why he would be with another lady. Why have you chosen to act in this manner?

"I am not quite sure. "I—"

To what extent would a man even be interested in spending the night with you? Wow, you are so pitiful! The ideal candidate would have been Sofia! Not at all; you were required to take her place! My daughter was taken away from me by you! And now, take care of it!

I forced myself to swallow the agony by biting my lip really hard.

"Why did you call?" I was barely able to raise my voice above a whisper.

"I do not care how you do it, but you will carry his child within a year."

It made me rigid. "However, that was by no means included in the agreement! It was never in my father's intentions for me to—" " Of course, he did not! Would there have been any adjustments made? Are you willing to have declined? As a result of everything we did to clear your name? This is the cost that you will have to assume.

My face was suddenly covered with tears.

I sputtered out, "I am unable to."

I don't understand what you mean by it. Do you want every single member of our pack to be eradicated off the face of the earth? Are you willing to be the person responsible for the demise of an entire generation?

"No."

"Then do as I say!"

"Yes, Mother."

"I will not be called that ever again. My dear Helena, you are going to give birth to a son. It is an heir. I will never forgive you if you do that. We are dependent on you to save the lives of our people.

When the queue was cut off.

The dam was allowed to open. My body was tortured with hot, ugly sobbing as I curled up on the bed. To begin, they coerced me into being married to a monstrous individual. They desired for me to be the one to give birth to his successor. Is there any further that they might take away from me?

The sound of moaning reverberated through the walls, as if it were intending to make fun of me. The agony in my gut was excruciating.

When I initially felt it, it was a mild ache; nevertheless, as time went on, the agony became more intense and penetrated my body like a knife. I let out a gasp and grabbed my tummy so tightly that I fell to the ground.

Nothing came to an end. It became even more severe.

I made an effort to stand, but my legs were unsteady. I was overcome with emotion and fell back onto the chilly floor, tears flowing silently down my face.

The pain abated for a short period of time, which was sufficient for me to drag myself back to bed. I had just begun to breathe again when I was blasted by another wave that was much more powerful and intense. Even when I parted my lips, I did not make any sound.

Now is the time for the Moon Goddess to take me. I am not going to resist it.

I suppose that I must have dozed off in some way.

My consciousness was jerked awake by the sound of the door clicking open.

I remained motionless and listened. As he climbed into the bed, it began to sink.

I clenched my eyes shut tightly. The atmosphere was saturated with the aroma of perfume. It is not his. To her.

Indeed, it is. Additionally, he had spent the night of our wedding with another woman. Even though I was in pain, he was having a good time.

As tears rolled down my cheeks without making a sound, my chest hurt, and my throat became constricted.

I did not make any movements.

He appeared to be repulsed by me, as he chose to turn his back on me.

As I continued to stare at the wall, my attention wandered to the inscription that had been cut into the stone.

You have entered hell.

Was this the point of my life?
