Alpha’s Forbidden Temptation Chapter 75
Dante’s POVLord knows what was happening to me lately.I was always angry. Always on edge. Frustrated at everything and everyone. And it didn’t help that Scarlet had locked herself inside that damn room for the past three days, acting like a child throwing a tantrum. Not talking. Barely eating. Refusing to come out. What was she even doing in there?Did she think sulking in silence would bend me to her will? She was wrong. I wasn't about to entertain her theatrics. I wasn’t that kind of man. I didn’t coddle. I ruled.But despite everything, I wasn’t heartless. I wasn’t this monster she painted me out to be. That day, when I found out she had gone missing, I was losing my mind. I had no clue where she was. I tried tracking her, calling in patrols, even trying to sniff out her scent. Nothing. And to make it worse, her assigned guard, Ezra, was nowhere to be found.Gone. On leave.And who gave him that leave?Apparently, she did.Did she have any idea how dangerous it was for her here?

Dante’s POV“I know enough,” she said, tilting her head. “I know Scarlet. I know she is a little crazy, stubborn, reckless, yes. But she’s also soft, kind, and loyal to a fault. When she shuts down like this, it’s because someone she trusts disappointed her.”Before I could respond, Rome appeared beside us. His timing was never great.“Alpha,” he said, cutting straight to the point, “what’s this I hear about a marriage proposal? Annette? Is that actually happening?”Vespara’s expression changed instantly. “Wait. Is that true?” Her voice grew sharper. “They can’t force you to take a bride. You’re the Alpha, not some pawn.”Seeing them being so protective of me, I knew that these two would die for me. But I would never want that. The guilt of Killian’s death had not left me yet to take theirs. I sighed, the burden of politics pressing heavily against my spine. “Apparently, I don’t have much room to refuse. The king’s getting impatient. He wants someone loyal to him beside me. Says it’l

Dante’s POVI was buried under my usual mountain of reports, but my thoughts kept drifting, mostly to Scarlet and the silence that had settled between us like a fog. It wasn’t just the absence of words; it was the ache of something unresolved. I was trying to shake it off when the phone rang. One glance at the screen, and I instantly straightened in my seat.Lady Elizabeth.I picked up immediately. “Lady Elizabeth.”Her voice came through soft, strained, but still full of grace. “Dante…”I hadn’t expected to hear from her today. Before I could ask if something was wrong, she spoke again.“Can I come see you?” she asked gently.“No, madam,” I said without hesitation. “I’ll come to you.”No matter the title I carried, she was one of the very few people I would never keep waiting. Lady Elizabeth wasn’t just Killian’s grandmother, she was family. After I lost my parents, she took me in like her own. I still remembered winter afternoons in her sunroom, sipping on soup when I was sick, end

Dante's POV“I was skeptical at first,” Elizabeth went on, her voice low. “But then I heard the name—Minister Raventhorn. He and I can be considered cousins. We grew up together, and we’re still close. His daughter, she is not like her father in politics. And definitely not sly like the Werewolf King. If you must marry under pressure, Dante, she is not a bad choice.”I gave a small nod. Not agreement. Just acknowledgment.“I know you are not marrying for love,” she added, even softer now. “But, my son, you are almost thirty-three. How long will you keep waiting?”There was no edge in her tone. Only sorrow. Gentle sorrow that came from watching someone you love live too long in solitude.“You need a companion. Someone who understands you. Maybe even a child. An heir. Someone to carry your name forward. Someone to make your house a home again.”I stared at my hands that were calloused and scarred, reminders of all the battles I had fought, all the lives I had taken. What did I know abo

Scarlet’s POVFor the last three days, I did nothing but sleep and talk to Red, my wolf. She was growing, slowly but surely. It brought me a quiet sort of joy, even as everything else in me felt broken. I had abandoned all routines—no exercise, no clean eating, no shifting practice. I was simply too tired.Then, just when I thought it couldn't get worse, my period hit me like a freight train. It wasn’t like usual. This time, the pain was sharp and deep, radiating through my lower belly like a punishment. My body felt like it was unraveling. I couldn’t even sit up without gasping. I had never bled this much before. It was heavy.So I stayed in bed, curled up under layers of blankets, clutching a hot water bottle like it was the only thing keeping me tethered to this world.The door creaked open without warning.Dante stepped in.His expression was mix of many things, somewhere between irritated and impassive, as he looked at me. “Are you done with your tantrums?” he asked flatly.I did

Scarlet’s POV“Then why did you hurt me?”I looked into his eyes, my voice trembling with the burden of everything I had never dared to say.“Because I wanted to live,” I confessed. “Dante, you didn’t have the power to save me. Not then. But I did. I had to. I did everything I could, everything I had to do, to survive.”My throat tightened, but I forced the words out anyway.“The people I thought were my family… they weren’t. They never were. I used to think they hated me because I was wolfless, but the truth is worse. I was never one of them. I was just a burden. Something to control. Something to break.”I swallowed hard, my chest aching as the memories crashed down on me.“They hurt me. Constantly. In ways that don’t fade. They belittled me, tormented me. I have more scars from them than from anyone else in my life.”I reached for him as I need the grounding presence of his arms as I spoke the most painful truth of all, “I gave my virginity to you, Dante, because I couldn’t bear t

“Will you stop crying? You’ve swollen your eyes like walnuts,” Elizabeth said gently, pressing a glass of water into my hands.I took it with trembling fingers, but instead of drinking, I broke down again, throwing my arms around her. She was the closest thing to a mother I had ever known. Her embrace felt warm and everything I needed and everything I feared losing.“Elizabeth,” I sobbed into her shoulder, “Dante is sending me away. I don’t want to go. I just want to be with him. That’s all I want.”She didn’t speak right away. She stroked my hair like a grandmother soothing a feverish child.“By what relation can you stay with him, Scarlet?” she finally asked, her voice calm but firm. “You are a rogue. He is an Alpha.”“I don’t care about status,” I whispered. “I won’t ask for anything. I just want to be near him.”She pulled back and looked at me, wiping the tears from my cheeks with the edge of her sleeve.“Silly girl,” she said softly, “if you stay, they will label you a mistress

Dante’s POVI hadn’t seen Scarlet all night. She had spent the entire evening crying in my arms, and it hurt me in ways I couldn’t even begin to describe. Seeing her like that was unbearable. It was clear how deep her feelings for me ran and there was no mistaking it. I always knew the depth of her love, but something had changed. Not in what I felt for her, but in how I viewed her. Something was different, something I couldn’t ignore.Ever since I came clean to Elizabeth about Scarlet’s past, everything had shifted. The old lady, who had always been a source of strength and wisdom, had changed. Her grief over her grandson’s death had been consuming, and I had expected that. But there was something else that had shifted between her and Scarlet. Elizabeth had spoken before about a spiritual connection, but now it felt different. There was an intensity in her protectiveness over Scarlet, a fierceness I hadn’t anticipated.I discovered, though, that Scarlet’s DNA was not uploaded to the

“Alpha,” Elizabeth said softly, careful not to wake the child. “Let me put her to bed. If she wakes up now and doesn’t see you, she’ll cry, and it’s hard to watch her cry. She doesn’t make a sound, but… it breaks you.”Annette, who had been quiet again, suddenly asked, “Aunt… she doesn’t speak?”Elizabeth nodded, her eyes growing moist. During her birth, there was an accident. It damaged her throat, especially the vocal cords. We’re trying everything we can… but so far, there’s been no sound. Not even a whisper.”She paused, her voice trembling.“I pray to the goddess every night that before I die, I will hear her say something or anything. It hurts. It hurts to see her frustrated, unable to express herself. When she cries, there’s no sound. It’s like watching a scream locked inside a glass box.”A single tear escaped her. “Maybe we have coddled her too much. But tell me, how are we supposed to act normal with her when she’s not? Doesn’t she deserve a little extra love for trying, eve
Alpha’s Forbidden Temptation Chapter 95
Dante’s POV“You’re so handsome,” Nora suddenly said, smiling brightly. “Just like my daddy.”I smirked. “Less or more?”She tilted her head, thoughtful, then said with dramatic flair, “Just a little less.”We all burst into laughter at that, Annette, Elizabeth, even me.“She’s so cute,” Annette said, nearly pinching Nora’s cheek. “Are your siblings as adorable as you?”Nora huffed. “Auggie is a meanie, and Amy is a devil.”Before I could even react, a small blur flew at us like a gust of wind. Another toddler, clearly Amy, shoved Nora aside and latched tightly onto my legs.“Amy!” Elizabeth gasped. The little one didn’t respond. Her brows were scrunched, her lips trembling, like she was about to burst into tears.Elizabeth’s voice turned soft. “Sweetheart, come to Grandma. Let Alpha go, okay?”But Amy only clung tighter, her tiny fingers gripping my trousers like I was her anchor in a storm.“It’s okay, Madam,” I said gently. “We have met before. That’s why they know me.”Elizabeth l
Alpha’s Forbidden Temptation Chapter 94
Dante’s POVA moment passed before the boy, Auggie, answered from above with a loud, cheeky voice, “Don’t want to!”Elizabeth chuckled, not even surprised. “He is just like his father.”I arched a brow. “Stubborn?”She gave a tired laugh. “Imagine the stubbornness of Killian and Vespara combined.”I winced playfully. “Ah… that’s a lethal combo. Is he lazy like Kill, too?”“Oh, no,” she said with an amused grin. “That would be our Nora, the lazy princess.”Just then, a new voice called out from above, “Did somebody call me?”I looked up and saw a girl peeking over the railing on the second floor. She was familiar somehow, but I couldn’t quite place how and suddenly everything clicked. Her eyes widened the moment she saw me, curious, startled, intrigued.aShe leaned over the railing to get a better look, and before I could process what was happening, she slipped.“No!” Annette gasped in horror.Even Elizabeth’s breath hitched. My body tensed, already ready to lunge forward but before I
Alpha’s Forbidden Temptation Chapter 93
Dante’s POVI asked Annette this morning if she would like to accompany me to visit Elizabeth. It had been two days since Vespara left the temple without looking at me, and something in me kept wondering if she had returned by now. She never stayed here for too long.We reached Elizabeth’s home just before lunch, and the moment we stepped inside, I could feel a shift in the atmosphere. It wasn’t the usual serene and quiet space I had come to associate with the house. Instead, it felt alive, busy, scattered, as if the home itself had awakened from slumber. I saw Elizabeth sitting alone on the couch in the living room, watching some cartoon on low volume. She turned the moment she sensed us and smiled. “Alpha… Luna,” she greeted us warmly. “You should have sent a message. I would have arranged a proper lunch.”I smiled back at her while taking in her face, the fine lines, the wisdom in her gaze and the stubborn light that never dimmed. “How are you? We heard you were unwell.”“I’m fin
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

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
