Fated To Roman: The Almighty Alpha
Forty-Two

Daphne's POV

After Eric marked me, he refused to see me. The greater his absence became I could feel the mark on my neck burning into me, the venom wanting me to lose all control. Without me marking him in return my body would begin to crave him. Something that was already beginning to happen. Every thought that entered my mind was of Eric. Nothing about them were sexual which hadn't surprised me in the least.

Two weeks had past, and every day Roman would inject me with something that kept my heat at bay. Though the pain remained the need to fuck was nowhere in sight. Being down here was lonely and in truth gave me time to think. Time to reflect upon the choices I made that led me to being here.

More than anything I wished I could turn back the clocks of time and tell that demonic bitch where to go. If I could I'd reveal her true identity. I'd scream it so fucking loud that not a soul in either this life nor the next would miss it. However, I couldn't. Another poorly made choice I had made.

Each and every time Roman would torture me for the knowledge he thought I knew but in truth I didn't have, I fought so hard to form the words. But with each try my heart began to hurt. A witch had sworn me to keep it secret with a curse. One that would guarantee my death should I push past the pain and spill. A lovely parting gift for sure.

"Daphne..." Snapping out of my thoughts at the sound of his voice my eyes locked onto his. His handsome face had lost its plump. His cheeks more defined and his eyes sunken in with bags as big as mine probably are beneath them. The once warm but dark iris now cold. "I... I had to... I'm sorry this was a bad idea." Without a second thought he turned his back to me my eyes now blurry from tears. I had craved to see him for too long for this to be our only interaction. "Eric please wait. I... I need you. Please!" Within seconds he was out of the doorway and standing in front of me his hands gently placed either side of my face.

"I wish I could. We can't because you won't talk." As if on the fence his face inched closed to mine his lips brushing against my own. Oh, how I wish I could tell them something, anything.

Taking his bottom lip into my mouth I sucked it letting out a frustrated groan. How I wished my body could connect with his in every way possible. Before all this shit hit the fan and Eric accompanied me to physio, we would spend all the free time making out. Oh, how I wished I'd just given into him then. Pulling back, he looked away.

"Please Eric!" Those final words were all it took for the sound of his restraint snapping in this silent room.

Entangling his hands in my greasy matted hair his lips attacked mine with a force that had my knees swaying. Gripping the chains that held me upright, he pulled them free, his strength a testament to how badly he also needed me. Forcing me against the wall his mouth began sucking at the skin on my neck his teeth grazing over where his mark was on display. A warm tingle was quick to form between my legs as arousal hit me like a darn tidal wave.

Ripping my top open his mouth left my skin giving his eyes the chance to roam my body. Having been starved of food only getting one meal a deal I was more skin and bone then anything. My body no longer holding any definition. Eric's eyes however never once looked disgusted with what he could see. The only part restricting his view were the knickers I wore. Dropping to his knees he took one of my breasts flickering his tongue over the hardened bud. Slowly his hands slid down my sides gripping at the edges of my knickers he pulled them down. Stepping out of them I spread my legs wanting him to settle within me. Eric knowing what I wanted stood up lifting one of my legs placing it over his shoulder. A purr left him as freed his hardened cock and pushing himself inside me.

Meeting his rhythm, I rocked my hips the friction on my clit leaving an incredible feeling swooshing around within me. With my orgasm nearing I felt Eric's cock twitch. Yanking his head to the side I dug my canines into the softest part of his neck. As the bond solidified Eric's grip on my hips tightened his own orgasm rippling through him.

"ERIC!" Came a roar from behind us as Kai pulled him away slinging him backwards and out of the cell.

As I screamed his head snapped in my direction Kai's eyes black as night. His wolf was forward his aura slipping out as the air turned heavy and thick. Stalking forward he gripped my neck only for Eric to barrel into him causing him to drop me to the floor. As the two men fought the door to the cell remained open. I could have run, I probably should have. But what would that prove?

Making my way into the furthest corner of the cell I let my back slide down the stone wall as I sat there hugging my knees. I didn't want to watch but I had to. This was my fault. Had I chosen my sister over the ability to shift this wouldn't be happening.

"ENOUGH!" Axel and Hector were quick to enter separating the men that were ready to shift. Axel held Eric back while Hector fought to restrain his son.

I watched as the pair finally calmed down the two previous Alpha's letting them go. Once released Eric was quick to my side taking his t-shirt off handing it to me so I could cover up.

"What was happening in here?" Axel stood there his large arms crossed over his bare chest. He looked as though he hadn't long woken up.

"I came to check if Roman came back and found these two." Kai growled as Eric stood in front of me in a protective stance.

"Eric?" Hector's voice was raspy as he yawned clearly already bored with the situation and wanting nothing more than to be back in bed.

"I needed to see her, and I lost control. I take full responsibility." Hector and Axel shared a knowing look and nodded.

"Well look we have bigger things to deal with. But I mean this Eric this will be dealt with. You knew the risks of what would happen should you be down here with her." Axel pointed in my direction but both men refused to look at me. I understood why of course I did. I had taken their mate away from them, forced them to live the remainder of their time with a gaping hole on their hearts.

There was nothing I could say to them. I had only thought of myself. Going through my depression and being offered a way out I took it. Even the price I knew to pay didn't bother me. The guilt I feel now though batters me. My own needs and desires had lost me everything with a slim to nothing chance of getting it all back.

"What's going on?" Kai went from pissed off to worried like nothing had happened. Like he hadn't almost killed his beta and best friend.

"Roman has found a way to the underworld."

"What the fuck! How?" And there was my chance at redemption.

"Explain and you might find yourself a chance at life!" Axels words cut into me like a knife. I knew they would never forgive, but at the least I thought they might just banish me. 'Chance at life' those three words that told me everything. Eric hadn't declined in appearance because of his need to be with his mate, but because he knew his mate was living on borrowed time.

Roman's POV

'She's near keep going!' Balthazar shouted in my head as I picked up speed. My whole body ached as it tried to heal from the burns sustained from entering this fiery pit.

'I can't go any faster!' Growling he walked around in circles as he watched through my eyes.

Lucille had warned me not to shift, that the energy needed to heal would take it out of us and boy was she right. Balthazar would get his chance, but for now he needed to gather all the strength he could.

My run slowed to a jog as I approached the castle. Remembering what Lucille had said about the hidden spirits I made my way to the second entrance. From what she said that one was used by slaves and gave me the best chance of getting

in.

Though I knew not to take stock in what she said I knew she wouldn't want me to die here. She wanted me to make her my Luna, only the stupid butch had forgotten a fundamental fact. I wasn't the current Alpha to the Moonlight Pack. Kai was and I was about to overthrow him.

As I reached the open back door the window next to it began to flash. Time was of the essence, yet something was drawing me closer. Peering through the room was encased in darkness until flames spun spiralling around the silhouette of a woman. As the flames grew brighter, I realised it was Cleo.
