Dante’s POV

“Stay away from him.”

She stopped. Her back tensed. Slowly, she turned to face me, her brow furrowed in disbelief. “Excuse me?”

I didn’t back down.

“Stay away from him,” I repeated. “He is dangerous. He is a psychopath.”

Her eyes flared, violet and vivid, glowing with that fire that always made my chest ache. “He is my patient,” she said, voice sharp. “And it’s my job to treat psychopaths.”

I stepped closer.

Too close.

Close enough to remember the shape of her mouth. The heat of her breath when she used to whisper my name like a promise.

“Scarlet,” I said low, my voice thick with warning and something I didn’t want to name, “he is not the kind of broken you can fix. His soul is… gone. He is not a version of you. Stop seeing yourself in every lost wolf who limps through your ward.”

Her eyes flicked up to mine, and I saw the fury rising.

“He is not you. And he never will be. So stop putting your life and the lives of those around you at risk.”

Silence fell between us. I knew

  • Alpha’s Forbidden Temptation   Chapter 225

    Amy looked around in panic, and her eyes landed on the one person she trusted above all others when her parents weren’t close by.“Brother!” she called out, her voice rising above the crowd.Ace was already moving before she finished the word.Ace reached his little sister in a matter of seconds, quickly assessing the situation. Amy was staring up at the furious woman, her lips pressed into a defiant pout, fists clenched at her sides but there was fear in her eyes too.He crouched down, gently wiping the smeared ice cream off her cheeks with his handkerchief. Then he leaned in and kissed her forehead.“Little tornado,” he said softly, “your mom’s looking for you. Let’s not worry her, okay? And hey, let’s say sorry to the old lady, alright?”Amy clung to him silently, her lower lip wobbling.Before he could guide her away, the woman’s sharp voice cut in.“Who are you calling old lady?”Ace stood to his full height, holding Amy protectively in one arm. His expression didn’t change as he

  • Alpha’s Forbidden Temptation   Chapter 224

    Ace walked over to Scarlet and took the seat next to her. She was gently smoothing out the creases in Amy’s dress, creases the little girl had earned from her wild antics earlier. Scarlet’s hands moved automatically, her eyes on Amy, but her attention shifted the moment she sensed Ace’s unease.“Yeah? What’s up?” she asked casually, not yet noticing the tension in his posture.Ace leaned in slightly, keeping his voice low. “Did you notice an old couple here?”Scarlet looked up, her brow furrowing. “What happened? Did they give you a dirty look or something?”He shook his head, but his voice carried something deeper. “No… It was strange. I went to the restroom earlier. This old man was there, just… staring at me. He didn’t say anything, just watched me for a while. I thought he might be a threat or something, but then he walked away.”Scarlet paused, now fully attentive. “That is weird.”“It gets stranger,” Ace continued. “When I came out, I saw him talking to an older woman, probably

    Scarlet’s POVToday was important in more ways than one.It was the first large-scale public event since the war ended and the new territories were unified. For the first time in years, the whole pack, old and new, wounded and healed, had gathered in one place to celebrate survival, honor courage, and welcome change.But for me, it was much more than that.It was the first time I was attending an event like this beside Dante not as a mere member of the crowd, but as his chosen partner, the future Luna. My name wouldn’t be in the background anymore. I stood next to him, proud and visible, no longer in the shadows.Secondly, today was also about recognition. Dante would be introducing his children publicly for the first time Ace, whose return had changed everything, and Amy, our daughter.And lastly, Vespara was finally getting her due. She was being reinstated as the Beta of the Alpha, a powerful position responsible for strategy and diplomacy. Rome, on the other hand, had taken up the

    Dante’s POVScarlet and Amy were fast asleep in my bed, their soft breathing the only sound in the dim room. I sat alone in the study, the air filled with the weight of my thoughts. My mind hadn’t stopped racing since the accident.I picked up my phone and dialed a number.“Hi, Vespara. Are you sleeping?” I asked quietly, keeping my voice low so I wouldn’t wake the two most precious people in the house.“Oh, no, Alpha,” Vespara replied, her voice alert. “I was going over the settlement cases for the new pack members. Is everything alright? Ace mentioned Scarlet and Amy wouldn’t make it tonight.”“They were on their way to your place,” I began. “Near the blind curve... they had a small accident. Nothing grave, thankfully. They’re both home now and sleeping. Scarlet’s a bit shaken, and Amy doesn’t remember much.”“Goddess,” she whispered, her tone immediately serious. “I’ll visit them in the morning.”“Actually, Ves,” I said, leaning forward in my chair, “Ace believes it wasn’t an accid

    Dante’s POVAs we stepped into the hospital, the familiar sterile air and the low hum of fluorescent lights welcomed us. Dr. Maddison was on duty tonight. She spotted me immediately and walked toward us with concern in her eyes.“Alpha,” she greeted formally.“Dr. Blackthorn,” I nodded in return, wasting no time. “She was in a car accident.”“I’ll examine her right away,” she said, already motioning for a nurse. Then she turned to Scarlet. “Are you hurt?”Scarlet shook her head gently. “Just a few scratches nothing major.”Dr. Maddison frowned. “Still, let’s run all the necessary tests. Sometimes the body goes through trauma we can’t see immediately. You did the right thing by coming in.”An hour later, after all the tests were completed, only the ultrasound remained. A gynecologist had been assigned to take over for this part of the checkup. Scarlet lay back on the examination bed while a technician began the scan, the room dimmed and quiet except for the soft sound of the monitor.“

    “Did something else happen?” I had asked Ace, half-teasing but also genuinely curious.“They kissed,” Ace whispered like he was passing top-secret war intel.“You’re kidding,” I whispered back, eyes wide.“No, I swear. She was drunk. They kissed. And then she beat his ass for kissing her,” Ace added, looking both horrified and impressed. “It happened during one of the soldiers’ gatherings. Everyone was drunk. I was reviewing the security cam footage later and I saw it.”I had grinned wide. “Cool!”Now I was even more eager to visit Ves. Not just to drop Amy off, but to see if I could tease a little truth out of her.“Dante, Ace….we’re heading to Ves’s place,” I called out. “Have dinner without us. We’ll eat there!”“I’ll drop you,” Dante offered immediately.“Nah, we’ll be fine,” I waved him off.“It’s raining,” he said pointedly.“Dante, I can drive,” I replied firmly. “I just want to feel independent—not like a fragile glass doll.”He didn’t argue further, but I could see that look
