“I didn’t know she owned the restaurant,” Vespara said, her voice trembling. “I only suggested it because it was the talk of the town. The reviews were amazing, I had no idea…”

She looked shaken, her eyes wide with guilt and fear. I could tell she thought I’d lose it. But instead, I reached out and took her hand, offering her a soft smile.

“So what?” I said gently. “It’s okay, Ves. We’re members of the pack. And she’s the Luna, we’re bound to her, whether we like it or not.”

“But still,” Vespara whispered, her voice cracking, “I’m sorry, Scarlet. It must have hurt you.”

“Hurt what?” I replied, my tone calm. “Alpha and I were never meant to have a future. Deep down, I always knew that. I loved him, yes, but I also understood that we could never be something real in the way I wanted.

"At the time, it felt normal, my entire world revolved around him. I didn’t even know another life was possible. But now… now I’ve seen more. I’ve lived more. And honestly? I’m grateful to both Alpha and E

  • Alpha’s Forbidden Temptation   Chapter 155

    Dante’s POVRome’s plan failed miserably. Ace had outwitted him and every other instructor during the entrance test. Despite Rome’s best efforts to sabotage the kid, Ace passed with flying colors, leaving every teacher speechless and the training grounds buzzing with disbelief.When Ace strutted into my office afterward, his posture screamed confidence or maybe it was arrogance. Either way, he had that proud look on his face, the one that said, “I told you so.”“Drop the smirk, kid,” I said, trying not to grin. “You are accepted at the most entry-level position. If you want to climb the ranks, you will have to prove yourself every single time. Oh, and by the way, did I mention you need at least a graduate degree to advance past grunt?”Ace’s jaw dropped. “That was not in the terms and conditions.”I smirked. “Well, it is now.”He glared at me like I had committed a personal betrayal, then stormed out with a huff that reminded me so much of Scarlet it almost made me laugh.Rome hovered

    Dante’s POV“No, not like that,” I corrected Amy gently. “You pressed the wrong key.”My daughter. The thought still amazed me every time. She was so small, so mischievous, and so very mine. It was hard to believe that this little bundle of curls and giggles was the child Scarlet and I had made together. She was determined to test my patience, too, intentionally pressing the wrong keys on the piano and then looking up at me with her big, shining violet eyes.Amy’s eyes were a brilliant amethyst, just like Scarlet had said when she named her. Whenever she got up to mischief, her eyes would crinkle into perfect little crescents.“Yes, now that’s correct,” I said, guiding her fingers gently. She played the melody flawlessly this time, her little fingers dancing over the keys like a pro. When she finished, she turned to me with eyes wide and proud, waiting for my approval.I kissed her cheek and said, “Well done, my little Lion. Well done.”Amy instantly pouted, making her best fierce fac

    Scarlet’s POV“Scarlet, are you listening to me?”“Scarlet?”Scarlet blinked and looked up to see Violet waving at her from the other side of the bench. She forced a smile and said, “Sorry. What were you saying?”“You have been staring at the sea for the last ten minutes,” Violet said, her voice gentle but curious. “Is your mind even here right now?”Scarlet sighed, drawing in a breath of the salty sea air. “It is nothing like that,” she said. “I was just thinking. I saw your report. Your physical health is much better than before.”Violet let out a weak laugh, the sound more like a sigh. “But will that fix the ghosts in my head?”Scarlet reached across the small table and took Violet’s trembling hand. “If your body heals, your mind will follow,” she said, her voice steady and comforting. “Ghosts are temporary, Violet. It is just a matter of time before they leave you.”“They have not left me for the past twenty-five years,” Violet whispered, her eyes clouded with old pain.Scarlet’s

    Scarlet’s POVI watched him walk away from me, disappearing into the darkness of the hall, and I felt my heart break. Angry, frustrated, and shattered, I went to the other side of the house where my room was and collapsed on the bed, crying for hours. Eventually, the tears dried, but the ache remained. I told myself that I would leave this house in the morning, no matter the danger. I would leave him behind.But before the first light of dawn, I could not bear it any longer. I slipped out of my room with no clear destination in mind and found myself standing in front of his door. My hand reached out and turned the knob, and there he was, asleep in his bed.I climbed into his bed quietly, my body trembling. I pressed myself against his chest, resting my head on his shoulder.A moment later, his arm came around my waist, pulling me closer. He turned towards me, his golden eyes open now, burning into mine. “You are so stubborn,” he whispered.“I will leave in the morning,” I whispered ba

    Scarlet’s POVWe finished the pasta slowly, savouring every creamy bite. When I got up, I rummaged in the fridge and pulled out a big bottle of Coke, pouring myself a tall glass.“You are kidding me, right? That stuff is unhealthy,” Dante said, leaning back in his chair with an annoyingly smug grin.I glared at him. “I just ate my body weight in pasta. I deserve some bubbles.”His eyes flickered down to my stomach—a little too full after all that pasta—and something unreadable passed over his face. Was he disgusted? Or worse, pitying me?I took a big sip and ignored his look.“Scarlet, your eating habits,” he said, shaking his head. “They need a serious check. You are a doctor.”“Shut up, Dante,” I shot back.He raised an eyebrow, the corner of his mouth twitching. “Aren’t you getting a little too bossy these days?”I opened my mouth to retort when his phone rang, slicing through the tension.“Yes, Rome,” he answered, his voice shifting to his Alpha tone. “What about it? Let me check

    Scarlet’s POVWhen I came home from the hospital, the house felt emptier than usual. The kids had gone to Elizabeth’s place with Vespara, giving me a rare and much-needed moment of peace. As I stepped inside, the butler looked surprised to see me.“Dr. Blackthorn, we did not expect you for dinner. The chef has already retired for the evening. It might take a while to prepare something.”I shook my head with a small smile. “It is no problem at all. Why don't you take the night off as well? I will order something or maybe even cook. You have all worked hard today.”He bowed slightly. “Thank you, Doctor.” With that, he disappeared down the hallway, leaving me alone in the quiet house.Outside, the sky rumbled with thunder, and moments later, a heavy rain began to pour. It pattered on the windows like a comforting lullaby. I took a quick shower and changed into my favourite night clothes, an oversized t-shirt and loose lounge pants, feeling lighter than I had in days.The thought of a fre
