Scarlet’s POV

Dante went to work. Or at least, that’s what I assumed. When I woke up, the place was empty and eerily quiet, save for the soft hum of the air conditioning. I hadn’t slept all night. My mind wouldn’t rest. I hadd pretended to be brave, but beneath that facade was a nervous, awkward girl unsure of what came next. How was I supposed to face him now?

Hunger eventually pulled me out of bed. I wandered into the kitchen, half expecting emptiness, but instead, I found it fully stocked. The fridge brimmed with fruits, milk, cheese, and things I could never even pronounce. On the counter was a note in Dante’s sharp, clean handwriting:

"Feel at home."

I raised a brow at that. Feel at home? Alright then. If that’s what you want, I’ll feel at home.

There was a massive television in the living room probably the size of my entire old bedroom. At my home, I was never allowed such luxuries. I couldn’t even glance at the TV, let alone touch the remote. Joy, comfort, even laughter, they we

  • Alpha’s Forbidden Temptation   Chapter 179

    Scarlet’s POVWhen I arrived at Elizabeth’s home, she was lying in bed with two nurses attending to her. “Grandma,” I said gently, walking up to her side. “How are you feeling?”She turned her head slowly and gave me a tired smile. “Ah, Scarlet, dear… I’m hanging on. How are you?”“I’m fine,” I said, pulling a chair close to her bed. “But you don’t look well…”She waved a fragile hand. “Just age catching up with me. It’s nothing new.”Her eyes moved down to my hand, and the second she saw the ring, her smile faltered. I caught the flicker of something bitter, resentment, perhaps, or grief.“I saw the news,” she said after a moment. Her voice was low and rough. “Are you… happy?”I didn’t hesitate. “Yes. I really am. Grandma, I finally have a chance at something I’ve dreamed about all my life. A family. My own little world. Dante loves me. He treats me the way I always hoped someone would. He is the father of my child… and now he is going to be mine. I don’t have to chase him or live in

  • Alpha’s Forbidden Temptation   Chapter 178

    Scarlet’s POV“Goddess,” Vespara grinned, flopping dramatically onto my bed. “He puts one ring on your finger, and suddenly you are a whole new woman. Who even are you?”I blushed hard.“Oop—look at that blush!” she gasped. “I have never seen you turn this red. I’m gonna cry. My old Scarlet is gone.”“Stop,” I groaned, half laughing, half trying to hide behind my hand.“Show me the ring,” she demanded, sitting up like a hawk.I extended my hand sheepishly.She took one look and stilled. “Wait a second… that’s not just any ring.”“What?” I blinked.“That’s his mother’s ring,” Vespara whispered. “Alpha Dante’s mom. I saw it once in a portrait hanging in his office. Same sapphire, same setting.”My heart thudded in my chest.I had already loved the ring as it was simple yet timeless, a deep sapphire surrounded by a delicate swirl of diamonds. But now, knowing it was an heirloom? That it belong to the woman who raised the man I love?It meant more than I could say.Before I could recover

  • Alpha’s Forbidden Temptation   Chapter 177

    Dante’s POVThe morning air was cool against my bare skin, but the warmth beside me made me forget everything else.Dante.His arm was draped over my waist, his breath brushing softly against the back of my neck. I could feel his heartbeat pressed against my spine. My body ached. With memory. With a softness I hadn’t felt in years.His fingertips moved slowly over my waist, tracing lazy circles, as if reminding himself I was still here.“You’re awake,” he murmured, his voice husky from sleep, lips brushing my shoulder.I nodded. “Barely.”His hand slid lower, grazing my thigh. He pulled me closer, until there was no space left between us.“You always this clingy in the morning?” I whispered, teasing.“Only when I’m scared it was all a dream.”His words were quiet but soaked in truth. I turned, just enough to catch the look in his eyes, half-shuttered with sleep, but darkened with something else. He leaned in, kissed me deeply, with a tenderness that melted through me. It was the kind

  • Alpha’s Forbidden Temptation   Chapter 176

    Dante’s POVIn her naked glory, she was lying in front of me Beautiful wheatish colour of her body. Hairs. Everything was so natural and real. So mine. Her breasts were fuller than I imagined all the time. More than a handful. Heavy and soft. Her caramel nipple was protruding in all its glory. The same nipples she used to fed our daughter. I wondered how her protuded belly would be like. She is so sexy. So fuller. From everywhere. She arched into me, gasping when my mouth closed around her breast, hand already slipping between her thighs. She was wet, ready, aching for me.I groaned at the feel of her. "You are going to drive me insane."She couldn't think. Couldn't speak. All this sensation. She never experienced it before. It was so damn maddening. "Dante I can't take it anymore," She whispered, her voice trembling with anticipation, her eyes half-lidded and shining.I leaned closer, his breath hot against her lips. "You won't have to wait any longer."Then I paused, suddenly r

  • Alpha’s Forbidden Temptation   Chapter 175

    Scarlet’s POVThe door closed behind us with a soft click.I stood in the middle of Dante’s room or our room now, maybe. The ring on my finger still felt foreign, as though I had borrowed someone else’s happiness and was afraid of waking up.He was behind me. I could feel him before he moved. My breath hitched the moment I sensed his warmth at my back.Neither of us said anything.The air was too full, too heavy with the weight of emotions neither of us knew how to articulate. The light from the moon spilled through the tall window and cast silver onto the floor and painting our shadows in soft blue-gray.“You’re quiet,” Dante finally murmured.“I don’t want to ruin this moment,” I whispered.“You couldn’t ruin anything,” he said. And then, slowly, his hands came to rest on my arms. “You have never ruined a single thing.”My eyes closed at his touch. His fingers skimmed up and down my skin, like he was reminding himself that I was real. That we were real. That this wasn’t a dream.“I t

  • Alpha’s Forbidden Temptation   Chapter 174

    Scarlet’s POVFour years ago, I walked into a world that didn’t feel real. The Alpha’s Ball. I still remember the red velvet drapes, the glimmering chandeliers, and the sounds of pleasure and laughter echoing down the marble halls. I had never seen a world like that before—women kissing women, men dancing with men, people touching each other like they belonged to no one but the moment. My sheltered upbringing had never prepared me for such freedom. Such wildness. I had been raised to think of passion as a sin, but that night, I saw it worn like a crown.And then, in the middle of that chaos, I saw him. A man whose presence silenced the noise. His eyes were the first thing I noticed; dark, deep, and a little dangerous. That night changed the course of my life. I wasn’t sure if it was fate or foolishness, but I had given him something that could never be undone: my body and my heart.Now, four years later, I stood outside the same mansion again.The full moon painted everything in silver
