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 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

    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

    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“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

    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

Yet, I am certain of this: I do not deserve my childhood stolen, my adulthood tarnished, and my honor shredded to nothingness.My mother has been avenging me all my life for the crime of being born. I was born on the wrong day, during the worst lunar eclipse in centuries. Was it my fault? Did I choose this fate? I did not summon the eclipse. I did not shape the stars.And still, my mere existence was cursed—a child born with a wolf so feeble, it might as well be a rabbit. A secret so shameful that even my family remains unaware of it.

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 d

    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
