Scarlet’s POV

He looked exactly the same. Smelled the same.

His eyes locked with mine, and for a heartbeat, everything stopped. I saw the flicker of recognition. Saw something shift in his expression, maybe surprise, guilt, something older, deeper.

My breath caught.

Vespara, her jaw clenched so tight I could hear her teeth grinding, said in a clipped tone, “Let’s go, Scarlet.”

But my feet… they didn't move.

Vespara was still guiding me out of the hallway, her hand firm around mine, when I caught movement from the side of my eye. My heart stopped.

Through the ICU window, I saw uniformed wolves entering Ace’s room, three of them were armed and tense with their expressions grim.

“What is happening?” I asked sharply, pulling away and rushing toward the room.

One of the officers turned, his eyes hard. “He is under arrest. For attacking our Beta.”

I stepped forward instinctively, placing myself between them and Ace, who was now sitting upright in bed while his expression was unreadable. “Ba

    Scarlet’s POV“STOP IT!” I shouted, stepping between them again. “You will not kill him. You will not harm anyone else. You will lie down on that bed. And you will stay there. Your punishment is that no one speaks to you until you reflect on what you have done.”Ace’s chest rose and fell with fury, his entire body coiled like a loaded spring. But then, like a storm suddenly silenced, he lowered his head.“Yes, Doctor,” he murmured.The wild wolf who had just challenged the Alpha of the pack obeyed.I took a breath, wiped the blood from my brow with the back of my hand, and stepped forward.“Alpha,” I said, my voice clear despite the pain pulsing in my skull. “Can we please talk alone, if possible?”Alpha Dante’s eyes locked onto mine. For a long moment, he said nothing. His gaze flicked briefly to the blood on my forehead, and I saw the tension twitch in his jaw. Then, with a curt nod, he gestured for his men to follow. I led the way, pausing only to lock the door to Ace’s room.Once

    Scarlet’s POVThe stretcher arrived swiftly. Nurses carefully lifted Ace’s limp, bloodied body and wheeled him into the ICU. As they disappeared behind the swinging double doors, a burden settled in my chest like a stone. We had no idea which version of Ace we would wake up to, the gentle soul we knew, or the uncontrollable storm trapped within him.Rome, unconscious and bloodied, was also taken away. A separate team of doctors rushed him to a private room down the corridor. Vespara followed them. Hours passed in a haze of blood, antiseptic, and anxiety.Rome’s condition eventually stabilised. He was bruised and battered, but he would recover. Ace, though… he was still. Too still. His wounds ran deeper than skin. He looked like someone who had fought not just an enemy, but a part of himself.It was just after dawn when I heard a soft whisper from the ICU bed.“Doctor… are you okay?”His voice was fragile. A child’s voice. Ace’s voice. The one we knew. His golden eyes blinked open, gl

    Scarlet’s POV“Are you even my Luna?” he spat. “Do I owe you anything? You were nothing but my Alpha’s whore. And in the end, he discarded you.”The words hit me like a slap.For a heartbeat, everything went still. The buzzing of hospital lights, the soft murmurs of nearby patients, and the beeping of machines all faded into a dull silence.I felt Vespara shift beside me, ready to explode again. But this was my moment now.“You bastard!” Vespara snarled, her voice shaking with pure, undiluted rage. She reeked of bloodlust, her entire aura pulsing with the need to destroy. Her fists clenched at her sides, ready to strike. She wanted to kill him, right there in the ward.I stepped between them and gently pushed her back with one hand, never taking my eyes off Rome.I let out a small humourless chuckle. “At least I was good enough in bed to earn the title of being your Alpha’s whore,” I said, my voice dripping with venom and clarity. “But what about you, Rome?”He flinched.I said, “How

    Scarlet’s POV"Hey, what are you doing here?" I asked, stepping into my office and catching sight of Vespara lounging on the couch like she owned the place. "Are the kids okay? Don’t tell me Nora jumped off the stairs again?"Vespara waved a dismissive hand. "Oh, please. I dropped them off at Elizabeth’s. They are fine. You, on the other hand, are working way too much. I have been juggling those three like a double-duty nanny all week, I’m done. Tonight, we are going on the ultimate best friend date."I laughed, walking over to pinch her cheeks. "So my husband is taking me on a date, huh?"It was a running joke. People constantly mistook us for a couple, specifically a lesbian one. They always assumed Vespara was the dominant one, all tall and fierce, while I was the dainty, doting wife. We leaned into it now, mostly for laughs. Truthfully, Vespara did act like the kids’ father, while I naturally slipped into the mom role. That’s just how we were.Vespara rolled her eyes, already half

    Dante’s POV“Anne,” I said, eyes still locked on the scene outside.“Yes?”“Would you mind waiting inside that café? The driver will pick you up from there in a moment.”She blinked at me. “Why?”“There is a pregnant woman in pain. She might go into labour in this storm. Let them use the limo, it’s the fastest way to get her to help.”Anette nodded quickly, no further questions. We stepped out into the rain and motioned for the woman in red. When she realised what we were offering, she wasted no time getting the injured woman and her husband into the limo, guiding them as if she’d done this a hundred times before.“She isn’t a doctor, is she?” Anette asked, watching beside me. “She is going to put that woman and baby in danger.”“I think,” I murmured, “she knows exactly what she’s doing.”We stood in the rain as the limo took off. Moments later, an ambulance finally arrived. The limo returned just as the medics were unloading stretchers. And stepping out of the car, soaked in rain and

    Scarlet’s POVAmy smiled, just a little, then turned back to me and held her arms up, asking to be carried.I lifted her gently. “Mommy has to finish helping people who are in pain. Will you be a good girl and wait on that chair while I finish?”She wasn’t happy about the idea. But Amy hated seeing people hurt more than she hated being apart. She gave a solemn little nod and sat down quietly.I left her under the watch of a nurse, though I knew she wouldn’t wander.When I came back later, I froze in the doorway.Amy was sitting in front of Ace, signing to him with small, deliberate gestures. Ace watched her, brow furrowed, trying to make sense of what she was saying.Then, he reached for a doctor’s notepad and began to draw.Simple figures. Lines. Shapes.He was trying to communicate.Amy watched carefully, then took the pen and began to draw her own replies. Crude, a little shaky, but surprisingly clear.She was talking to him.Trying.My little girl…She had stepped outside of her s

  • Alpha’s Forbidden Temptation   Chapter 108

    Scarlet’s POVAmy was curled up in my lap, clinging to me as if letting go would mean losing me all over again. She didn’t speak. She didn’t look around. Her arms were wrapped tightly around my waist, her cheek pressed against my chest like she was trying to memorise the beat of my heart.She always got like this whenever I came home after long, intense cases. For the first few days, she would barely let me out of her sight, as if being apart again would be too much.“Did my Amy miss Mommy?” I asked softly, brushing a strand of hair from her face.She nodded into my chest without a word.“How much did you miss me?” I teased gently.She pulled back just enough to stretch her little arms wide.I laughed. “That much, huh? My silly little girl… my whole universe. Mommy missed you too. So, so much.”Amy smiled, the tiniest, warmest smile. Then she sighed and said that she had a lot of fun while I was away.“Oh? Really?” I asked, raising an eyebrow. “Did you make some new friends?”She hesi

    Scarlet’s POV“The terrain is getting hilly. We’ll reach Phantom Moon in about thirty minutes,” the driver said, her eyes focused on the winding road ahead.I nodded quietly from the back seat. Beside me sat Bella, who was bright, efficient, and always brimming with energy. She had been transferred to serve as my deputy for this case. In the third seat, leaning against the window, was Ace.He looked fragile.The weeks of stress, pain, and trauma had worn him down to skin and bone. His shoulders were hunched, his eyes hollow. He had said little during the ride, just silent stares out the window and the occasional twitch of discomfort. He couldn’t bear the confined space of the ambulance, so I had requested that he ride with us. It was better this way.Then, softly, his voice broke the silence.“What kind of place is Phantom Moon?”Bella perked up, eager to fill the quiet. “I have heard it’s one of the most beautiful places in the kingdom,” she said. “Mountains, sea, plains… it has every
