Scarlet’s POV

I had never seen Ace so content.

Ever since he joined our family, he had changed. He was calmer now, more measured in his reactions. I knew he was still faking some of it, but there was strength in pretending too. Fake it till you make it, as they say. And Ace was trying.

He had enrolled in the organization’s high school and spent his free time interning under Vespara. When I asked why he chose law over medicine, he smirked and said, “I’d rather learn how to be a shark than a benevolent doctor.”

I was mildly offended.

But I understood.

I was soft. Too soft, perhaps. Vespara, on the other hand, was sharp, cunning, and fierce. She didn’t ask for respect, she commanded it. She was a good influence on Ace, and I was grateful he was learning from her.

Every weekend, I made him volunteer at the Moon Goddess temple. He was reluctant at first, but I could see something shift in him. In that quiet, sacred space, he began to look less angry, more grounded. Even hopeful.

  • Alpha’s Forbidden Temptation   Chapter 145

    Dante’s POV“Why is Scarlet mad at you?” Augustus asked me, his little face scrunched up with worry.I sighed. “I accidentally called her fat,” I confessed.Augustus’s eyes widened. He looked scandalised. “We cannot call Scarlet fat!” he gasped, sounding exactly like his mother when she was scolding someone. “Mommy said Scarlet would starve us if we ever said that! And Uncle Dante, we cannot live without Scarlet. Mommy is a terrible, terrible cook.”I chuckled, though guilt still gnawed at me. “I see,” I said, shaking my head.Augustus crossed his arms. “And Scarlet is a goddess,” he declared with the solemnity of a priest. “And goddesses are never fat. They are always perfect.”I smiled. “Who taught you that?”“Mommy,” he said matter-of-factly, his tone so serious I could not help but laugh.“Alright, alright,” I said, raising my hands in mock surrender. “I will apologise to her. How do you think I should do it?”He tapped his chin with his little finger as if pondering a matter of s

  • Alpha’s Forbidden Temptation   Chapter 144

    Scarlet’s POVI asked the chef quietly if he could bring me some plain boiled noodles. Within a few minutes, he delivered a bowl, steaming hot. I quickly added some stir-fried vegetables, small pieces of chicken, and a generous ladle of creamy chicken soup. I sprinkled a bit of mild seasoning over it and mixed everything together.I carried the bowl to Ace and placed it in front of him. “Try this,” I said with a smile.He took a spoonful and did not say a word, but his shoulders relaxed, and he kept eating. That was all the thanks I needed.I looked over at Amy and noticed her signing something to me, her little hands moving so quickly I had to squint to follow her.Suddenly, Vespara chuckled.“What is she saying?” Dante asked, clearly curious.Vespara answered, “Amy wants the same thing Ace is having.”I sighed, my shoulders sinking. “Just sit there, Amy. I will get you what you want.”But Amy signed again, her face so serious and determined.Vespara laughed again. “She says she want

  • Alpha’s Forbidden Temptation   Chapter 143

    Scarlet’s POVI had just finished diffusing my curls when I heard a knock on the door. Before I could stop her, Amy darted over and opened it.Standing there was Dante.His eyes moved from my damp hair to my face, then down to my chest and my legs.Heat rushed to my cheeks. I felt a surge of rage and humiliation. “Dante, get out,” I snapped.He seemed to snap out of his daze. “Oh… I am sorry.” He turned quickly and stepped out of the room.I turned to Amy, who looked startled. “Baby, we are not at home anymore. You cannot open the door without asking Mommy, okay? We are not used to living with an older man, but we have to learn, alright?”She nodded solemnly, understanding in her eyes.When Amy and I finally emerged from the guest wing, Dante acted as if nothing unusual had happened. He spoke in his usual calm, steady tone, and I was grateful for it. My own embarrassment faded slowly, though every time I met his eyes, my stomach twisted in a knot.I tried to act casual as I asked, “Wh

  • Alpha’s Forbidden Temptation   Chapter 142

    Scarlet’s POVI never thought I would see the inside of Alpha Dante’s house again. Not like this, and certainly not after everything that had happened between us and how everything had fallen apart.But here I was, standing at the threshold of his house with a suitcase in hand and Amy clinging to my leg. The big iron gate creaked open, and the guard gave me a small, respectful nod. It felt so surreal, like stepping into a dream that might turn into a nightmare.Never had I ever imagined that I would be entering his house once again with our daughter while he had a wife. A wife who was not me.Dante was waiting in the foyer, his arms folded as he looked at me, no, through me, as if he was trying to gauge whether I would bolt or collapse.“Welcome home,” he said.Home.The word struck me like a punch in the gut. This was not my home. It was his. But now it was supposed to be a safe haven for the children. Ace had already come here last night, while Vespara arrived with her children this

  • Alpha’s Forbidden Temptation   Chapter 141

    Dante’s POV“We need to talk,” I said as I stepped into Scarlet’s office. She looked up, her expression wary. Today was the day Ace would be discharged from the hospital, but the tension in the air made it hard to feel relief.“Yes?” she asked, suspicion in her eyes.I took a deep breath. “I already talked to Vespara,” I began. “I don’t think it’s safe for you and Ace to move back to your house. Ever since the attack, you have been practically living here at the hospital. Once Ace is discharged, if you go home, there’s a real chance that Midnight Mystery might target you again. That house is in a public area, it’s too easy to find. Hector still has a vendetta against all of us. But we also can’t risk the hospital and its residential area if they come looking for you here.”Scarlet sighed, her shoulders slumping. “I know, Alpha,” she said quietly. “But what am I supposed to do? Living with Elizabeth is an option, but her health is fragile. We haven’t told her about the attack. And even

  • Alpha’s Forbidden Temptation   Chapter 140

    Scarlet’s POV She placed her hand on my shoulder. “I will take Nora and Augustus home. They are bruised and shaken and need rest. I will bring them to Elizabeth’s place. I don’t trust that our home is safe anymore.”I nodded again. “Thank you.” I turned to Amy, who still hadn’t moved as her tiny form was dwarfed by the hospital chairs. “She won’t leave Ace. She won’t even look at me. I don’t think she can leave his side.”Vespara’s eyes were soft. “I will take the others. But call me the second anything changes, okay? And I’ll come straight back tomorrow morning to check on Ace. He is stubborn as hell, and I know he will pull through.” She squeezed my hand. “And when he does, I swear, I will let him spar with Dante. Hell, I will even tell him Dante’s deepest secrets to help him win.”I managed a laugh, though it sounded broken. “He would love that. Ace… if you’re listening somehow, please come back to us. We need you. Our family can’t handle losing you. If you come back safe, I won’t
