2025-02-09 20:56:05Scarlett’s POV
As I entered the house, laughter echoed from the dining room. One voice sent a shiver down my spine. I knew who it belonged to. The man I wished never to see again.
Despite knowing my mother’s wrath awaited if I were late for dinner, I tried to sneak to my room, hoping to avoid him. But my attempt failed. My mother caught me as her face was stormy with anger.
“Why are you late?” she snapped. “I told you this morning to return early! Hector is here to meet you. It’s the first time he has visited since your engagement, and you dare to slack off?”
I opened my mouth to explain, “But Mother, I—”
Slap.
Her hand struck my cheek hard. Tears welled up as I looked at her. Her voice was sharp as a blade. “If I hear you say one more time that you don’t want to marry Hector, I will end your life, Scarlett! Be grateful Alpha Juno has shown mercy.”
“Go to your room,” she ordered coldly. “Alyssia has lent you a dress for tonight. Make yourself presentable and entertain your fiancé. I don’t want to hear any complaints.”
Her hatred stung more than the slap. Would she care if I were gone? Would she ever truly care for me?
“Mommy!” Alyssia, the princess of the Rosetti family, skipped into the hallway. “Why did you give my pink dress to that ugly duckling? I hate seeing my clothes on her! It’s an insult to my fashion sense!”
My mother’s tone softened instantly. “Alyssia, my darling, that dress didn’t fit you anymore. Look at you, perfect in every way, while she—well, she doesn’t even have the curves of a real woman. We only gave it to her to show Alpha Juno’s family that we care. If they thought we were sending them damaged goods, your father might suffer the consequences.”
Satisfied, Alyssia pouted before brightening. “Did you leave me a gift in my room?”
“Yes, my sweet,” Mother cooed. Moments later, Alyssia’s delighted shriek echoed as she discovered the expensive dress she had coveted. “Mommy, you are the best! I love you so much!”
As I passed her in the hallway, holding her prized dress, she gloated about the difference in our treatment. But I was numb. Eighteen years of this had hardened me.
But not anymore.
Dressed and ready, I made my way to the dining room. Hector sat there, tall and imposing with a scar marring his cheek. Some called it a mark of valor. To me, it symbolized his cruelty. He was no hero. He was a monster who preyed on the weak, a coward who thrived in destruction.
“Scarlett, sit next to Hector,” my father commanded.
My heart froze, but I obeyed, sinking into the chair beside him. The maid, who tormented me daily, served me as though I were a pampered young miss. The pretense was nauseating.
As I forced a bite of food, my hands trembled and my heart raced. Then I felt it—a coarse hand on my thigh. His touch crept under my skirt, violating my skin. Tears stung my eyes as laughter and conversation continued around me as all of them were oblivious to my silent torment. And even if they were aware, it hardly mattered to them.
“I need some water,” I blurted, standing abruptly. Without waiting for a response, I fled to the kitchen as my breath ragged.
But he followed after me.
Before I could scream, I felt his chest against my back, his filthy hands roaming where they had no right to be. He touched my ass with one hand and breasts with another, “You need some fattening up,” he sneered, his voice dripping with malice.
My skin was disgusted. My eyes were full of tears. And my heart was screaming for help. But I was all alone with the abuse and torment of this family.
I pushed against him, quite desperate, but he was too strong. Only the sound of approaching footsteps made him retreat. Shaking, I escaped to my room and locked the door behind me.
There, I collapsed with tears streaming as I whispered to myself, “Death is more honorable than being with him.”
When my mother discovered I had left the table, her punishment as usual brutal. But no slap or no cane could ever hurt as much as his touch.

Alpha’s Forbidden Temptation Chapter 4
Scarlett’s POVLate at night, I paced in the shadows of my room as the restless energy of my wolf was stirring faintly in my chest. I could tell Red would wake up anytime now. My wolf, Red, was so worn out that she usually slept for weeks and woke up for a few minutes each time.I had devised the perfect plan to sneak out to Alpha Dante’s ball. Every fiber of my being screamed that this night would change everything.“Dress,” I whispered, my voice barely audible over the soft rustle of the curtains. “I need a dress.”My thoughts locked on the sparkly blue gown Alyssia had been flaunting earlier."I have a dress," I muttered to myself, "Now, I just need a way to steal it."The hallway was quiet but the muffled voices of my mother and Alyssia drifted through the crack of her door. I crouched closer as my ears strained to catch their conversation.“Mommy, did you forget about our real plan?” Alyssia’s voice was soft, too conspiratorial.“No, sweetheart, I didn’t,” my mother replied. Her

Scarlett’s POVThe full moon lit up the sky, its silvery glow shining down on the enormous estate in front of me. My heart was racing as I stepped out of the taxi, the long and flowing skirt of my stolen blue gown brushing the gravel under my feet. I stood still for a moment, staring in awe at the mansion before me.Alpha Dante’s manor was stunning and intimidating, with tall towers reaching into the night sky and ivy climbing up its dark stone walls. A warm light glowed from its windows, and I could hear the faint thrum of music and laughter spilling out.I adjusted the mask on my face and took a deep breath. The air smelled fresh and wild, like pine trees mixed with something deeper…like something untamed. My wolf stirred faintly inside me as if sensing my excitement once again.Two guards dressed in black stood there with sharp and serious eyes. I hesitated, feeling small and out of place in this grand world. My gown, my courage, even my dreams—they all felt stolen.“Name?” one of

Scarlett’s POV“Like what you see?”I turned to face him. A tall, broad man with obsidian eyes that pierced deep into me. He wore a plain black mask, such a contrast to his dark suit with velvet streaks, and was making him appear even more mysterious and dangerous.“I believe this is the first time you have seen something like this,” he said, his voice filled with amusement.I swallowed hard. “I… I have seen it before,” I replied, though my words felt weak and uncertain.He raised an eyebrow, trying to appear intrigued. “Where?” He was toying with me as if enjoying the game.“Pornography,” I blurted out, immediately regretting it.He laughed a laugh which was low and rich. A sound that sent shivers down my spine. “Cinderella…”“What?” I asked, confused.“You look like Cinderella with that gown and your hair,” He chuckled darkly. “Are you sure this is the right place for you?”My frustration bubbled to the surface. “Who are you to tell me where I belong? I’m an adult, and I know how to

Dante’s POVShe was gone.A princess waltzed into my life, igniting the dormant feelings I thought had long since died. And then, without a trace, she vanished.Not a single damn trace.I could still smell her. Her vanilla and something sweet scent clung to my sheets. A scent so intoxicating, it was almost like I could taste it and as if it was burned into my soul.But it wasn’t just her scent.Her blood stained the sheets, too.I marked her with my teeth. Her soft, delicate skin was now marred with my canines. The bite was still fresh in my mind as the pulse of her heartbeat under my teeth echoed in my head. No hallucination could feel so real."Alpha, we have searched every CCTV, every bus and train station, and there is no trace of a woman in a blue gown with red hair," Killian’s voice broke through the haze of anger clouding my mind. His words and the doubt they carried were like poison twisting in my gut. He thought I was losing my mind. They all did. I know it would not be the

Scarlet’s POVIt was the day.The day I dreaded.The day I had been waiting for.I sat before an old and intricate mirror. In it, my reflection was almost unrecognisable. The room buzzed with movement og maids, stylists, and attendants. All fussing over me as if I were the most important person in the world.How ironic.They say that when you die, people ultimately pay attention. Even those who never cared find something kind to say. Maybe that was why they were all looking at me now.But I wasn’t dead. Not yet.Their attention on me was suffocating. Every touch, every whispered word, felt like I was being shaped into something I wasn’t. Something I would never be. Something I wished to escape at any cost. Even if the cost was death. "Is she ready?" My mother’s voice cut through the noise."Yes, Mrs. Rosetti. Miss Rosetti is ready," the makeup artist said.I turned to look at my mother, standing tall in a gown of deep champagne, diamonds and pearls glistening against her beautiful sk

Dante’s PovI stood still in the temple, surrounded by the haunting echoes of chants reverberating through the sacred halls. The air was thick with sorrow, heavy with the weight of a loss too great to bear. Around me, the pack stood in solemn silence, their heads bowed in mourning.But this grief wasn’t just for any fallen warrior.We had lost the heart of our pack.We had lost Liam.He had been more than just my Beta. He was my brother in every way that mattered—my confidant, my family. And now he was gone, reduced to ashes because of a war I had fueled with my own hatred and thirst for revenge.The guilt gnawed at me, relentless and unforgiving. If I hadn't been so blinded by anger if I had made different choices, would Liam still be alive? Would he still be standing beside me instead of lying in a cold urn, his presence nothing more than a memory? But it was too late for regret. The damage was done. Irreversible.My gaze drifted through the sea of grieving faces until it settled on

Scarlet’s POVWhen I opened my eyes, I was inside a cage.The stench of blood, piss, and filth filled the air. The metallic tang of suffering clung to my throat, making it hard to breathe. Around me, I could hear the agonised screams of werewolves—wolves that were not fierce but broken. Helpless. Caged. Just like me.At least they had the strength to scream.I didn’t.I was too numb to feel. Too hollow to make a sound.My body lay sprawled on the cold, dirty floor, still draped in the wedding dress that had once been white. Now, it was ruined. Stained crimson with blood. But it was clinging to my skin like a sick reminder of what had happened.Every time I closed my eyes, the scene replayed, burning itself into my mind like a curse.My mother. The way she died.The way Alyssa moved, and then my mom was killed. It was over.I couldn't escape the memory. It haunted me, clawing at the edges of my sanity.She hated me. She tormented me. And yet… despite all the cruelty, she was still my

A blur. A rush of movement. A gust of wind.And suddenly, Rome was gone.He hit the ground with a heavy thud and now he was groaning in pain.I gasped, coughing violently as I collapsed onto the cold filthy floor as my body was convulsing from the lack of air.Through the haze of tears clouding my vision, I saw her.A woman stood where Rome had been. Her presence radiated power. Her violet hair cascaded down her back like liquid silk.She roared. “Have you lost your fucking mind? Do you even realize what you were doing?”Rome, still clutching his side from the impact, spat out venomously, “Shut up, Vespera! You don’t understand! Liam was my brother! My best friend! I was avenging him!”Vespera’s gaze didn’t waver. “Rome, as much as I respect your grief, you were wrong. Fucking wrong.” She added, “Now get the hell out of here before the Alpha finds out what you’ve done. Don’t disappoint him more than you already have.”The soldiers shifted uncomfortably, uncertain whether to follow her

Alpha’s Forbidden Temptation Chapter 92
Scarlet’s POVThe moment I switched on the local news channel, I reached for my phone and dialled Vespara. I had just finished a long, exhausting class on surgical techniques and returned to my office to catch up on the headlines. What I saw made my stomach twist with worry — two rogue groups had entered the capital and launched an attack. A city-wide curfew had been imposed. Streets were shut down, homes locked up, and the atmosphere on the news was pure chaos.I quickly realized that I wouldn’t be able to leave the institute tonight. Travelling now was far too dangerous. The roads were not just unsafe, they were being hunted.My fingers trembled slightly as I pressed the call button. When Vespara picked up, I didn’t waste a second.“Ves, did you leave?” I asked, panic rising in my voice.“We’re just about to,” she replied gently. “Don’t worry, Amy was an angel today. She didn’t miss you that much.”Her calm voice gave me a small moment of relief, but it wasn’t enough. I had to stop

Dante’s POV“What kind of teachings did your family pass on to their children?” I asked coldly as Rome entered the office.Rome looked caught off guard. He had never seen me this furious.“What happened, Alpha?” he asked, approaching carefully.“That nephew of yours…” I said. “He was bullying kids half his age. In the temple, no less. And all while his mother stood there watching.”Rome’s shoulders sagged. “I apologise… I’ll talk to my brother. Though honestly, it’s my sister-in-law and mother who have spoiled that boy beyond reason. He has never been corrected, never taught humility.” He let out a sigh. “But since the complaint is coming from you, Alpha, our family will take it seriously.”Then he added with a weak smile, “But since when did you start caring about children and their petty squabbles?”Before I could respond, a melodic laugh drifted into the room. A graceful presence followed as Annette, my Luna, entered and gracefully seated herself beside me.“That’s Alpha Dante you
Alpha’s Forbidden Temptation Chapter 90
Dante's POVI turned to the boy and said, voice sharp and firm, “Stop. Is this how you behave? Bullying little girls at the temple?”The boy shrank under my gaze, but before he could say anything, his mother arrived, rushed, breathless, and clearly having been nearby all along.“Alpha, please… he is just a child,” she pleaded, trying to shield him.I was angry no, furious. “Look at your child. He is picking on kids much younger than himself. Don’t let him out of the house again until you have disciplined him properly. Otherwise, his elders will answer for it.”The woman paled and quickly dragged her son away without another word.With them gone, I looked at the girls. The older one stood beside me, while the little one remained nestled in my arms, clutching me tightly.“Thank you, kind sir,” the older girl said, flashing a shy smile.She looked familiar, oddly so. I couldn’t place where I had seen her before.“You are very brave,” I said, impressed by how she had stood up for herself
Alpha’s Forbidden Temptation Chapter 89
Dante’s POV“About the upgradation project, make sure the preparations are wrapped up sooner,” I said to the construction manager, eyeing the layout spread across the stone table.We were expanding and reinforcing the infrastructure around the Moon Goddess’ temple which was now more of a landmark than it had ever been before. Over the years, it had become a center of pilgrimage and tourism, drawing attention not only from our own pack but from others far across the empire. With the coming full moon, we expected nearly a hundred thousand pilgrims to gather here. That number would only grow with time. If we wanted to maintain order and respect the sanctity of the temple, we had to prepare accordingly.In the last four years, our pack had thrived, territory expanded, borders strengthened, wealth accumulated. Under the favor of the Werewolf King, our lands had become the crown jewel of the empire. The most prosperous, the most stable, and arguably, the most envied.The discussion was done
Alpha’s Forbidden Temptation Chapter 88
Scarlet’s POVToday was Killian’s death anniversary.Vespara and the kids were leaving for Phantom Moon, and my heart was lodged firmly in my throat. I shouldn’t have felt this way, my home was here, with my daughter, with Vespara, in the life we had built together. But somehow, a piece of me felt homesick as if watching them leave was like watching them walk away from me and that to to the place that is my home.“Did you pack everything?” I asked softly as I entered the living room.It was still dark outside, the sky tinted with the faintest grey. Vespara was already dressed and moving with her usual quiet efficiency. I knew she hadn’t slept. Not a wink. She never did the night before going back to that place.She glanced up, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. “I did. Why are you up so early?”I shifted Amy on my shoulder. She was still half-asleep, warm and limp in my arms, her curly hair sticking up in all directions. Her eyes fluttered at the sound of Vespara’s voice.“Morn

Vespara gasped. “Auggie, no! She won’t—”But I stopped her with a hand. Nora and Auggie had a strange power over Amy that we didn’t. While she treated us like her loyal servants, crying and melting down over a wrinkled sock or the wrong spoon, she never pulled those tricks with them.Amy didn’t like the texture of meat. But she took the bacon from Auggie, scrunched her face, chewed slowly, and swallowed it down without a single tear.Vespara and I exchanged a look. Awe. Every time, these kids amazed us.After we tucked the kids in for their afternoon nap, I found Vespara at the dining table, hunched over her laptop, replying to emails. The glow from the screen lit up her face, and though she looked calm, I could see the tiredness in her eyes.“Still worried over the merger case?” I asked, walking up with two cups of coffee.“I almost have it wrapped up,” she said, accepting the cup without looking up. Then, after a moment, she raised her eyes to mine and added softly, “Elizabeth calle

Scarlet’s POVTo say I was scared would be an understatement.As I quietly opened the door to my room, I was met with a scene that could terrify even the bravest warriors: my cub sat at the edge of the bed, arms folded tightly across her tiny chest, her little lips puckered into a pout, and her violet eyes, those intense eyes flecked with gold, blazed with fury.As cute as she looked, she was dangerous. Deadly, even."Hey, baby," I whispered, trying to sound casual or normal but her eyes snapped to mine, sharp and unforgiving.Instantly, I dropped everything and clasped my ears with both hands. "I’m sorry! I left you alone while you were sleeping. Mommy’s really, really sorry. Will you forgive me, please?"She didn’t say a word. Instead, she turned her face away, her nose in the air. A silent declaration that she was still mad.I rushed to her side and wrapped my arms around her small frame. “Mommy will not let go until Baby Amy forgives her,” I said dramatically, attacking her with r

Four Years Later Scarlet’s POVThe waves kissed the shore gently as I stood on the balcony of the waiting room, watching the ocean shimmer under the afternoon sun. Its rhythm was steady and comforting. Four years ago, I had told him I wanted to see the sea. Now, I lived by it.A tall werewolf, clad in the royal palace's insignia-marked uniform, approached with a bow. His attire was slightly different from the regular staff, more polished and more commanding. Likely a high-ranking official.“Her Highness will see you now,” he said.Princess Estelle of the imperial line, renowned for her grace, strength, and beauty, was just as striking in person as the whispers in the capital had claimed.“Your Highness, this is Doctor Blackthorn,” the werewolf introduced.The princess extended her hand, and I took it with a polite nod. “Dr. Blackthorn, I believe you have reviewed Aria’s medical reports?”“I have,” I replied. “Would it be alright if I take her pulse myself?”Being Elizabeth’s disciple

“Then you have every right for the next six days,” I said quietly.He leaned down and kissed me, not hungrily, not with dominance, but with aching tenderness. Like someone trying to memorize the taste of goodbye. It was slow and sensual, stretching out into forever.Later that evening, I made dinner for us. We ate in bed, naked beneath the sheets, wrapped in each other’s warmth like we were trying to forget the world outside his walls.As his hand traced over the curves of my body, he whispered, “You are rounder now… everywhere. You are so soft. So beautiful. I can’t have enough of you. You have ruined me for anyone else.”I leaned in and pressed my lips to his ear. “Then ruin me too,” I whispered. “Please, my Alpha.”“Fuck,” he cursed under his breath. He slipped a pillow beneath my hips and pushed into me again, deeper this time slow, deliberate, worshipping me with every thrust. We made love again and again that night, losing track of time, of reality, of everything except the fe
