I had spent only two days in the Dark Silver Pack, yet it already felt like an entirely different world from the one I had known before. From the moment I arrived, the members had treated me with a warmth and respect I never expected. They were kind, accommodating, and gentle in ways that still startled me. I had braced myself for cruelty, for injustice, for the sort of harsh treatment that followed anyone connected to the fallen Red Scarred Pack. Instead, I was received like royalty.
Like a princess.
It made me uncomfortable at times, because I did not feel deserving of such honor, but I could not deny how deeply grateful I was.
One thing continued to puzzle me, however — I had not seen the Alpha even once. Each time I asked Bella about him, she carefully changed the subject. Mira, who always seemed to have an answer for everything, also avoided the topic completely. Their evasiveness only made me more curious, but I chose not to push.
The Beta, Shane, on the other hand, appeared often.
He visited my quarters frequently, sometimes simply to check on me, other times bringing small gifts — flowers, books, rare fruits, even delicate skin products and fragrant oils. With each visit, his manner toward me became increasingly gentle, almost reverent. His gaze followed me with admiration and respect, and though he never crossed any lines, the attention made me uneasy.
I sincerely hoped he did not harbor romantic feelings for me.
I would not condone such a thing.
That afternoon, after Mira insisted on giving me a full tour of the palace, we settled in the garden near the far fountain. The air was cool and sweet with the scent of blooming flowers, and Mira’s chatter never seemed to pause. She spoke of her childhood, her siblings, the festivals she loved most — stories that made me smile even when my heart still felt heavy.
“I came looking for you in your quarters,” a voice interrupted.
Beta Shane stood before us, holding a basket filled with freshly picked fruit.
“I only stepped out for some fresh air,” I replied, unable to hide the irritation in my voice.
Mira and Bella quietly excused themselves, moving a short distance away and leaving us alone — privacy I had not asked for.
Shane stepped closer and placed the basket beside me. “I sent some skin products and fragrance to your room earlier, but then I thought it would be better to bring this myself. They were freshly plucked. They will help with nourishment.”
“Thank you,” I said firmly, my tone intentionally distant.
Silence stretched between us until he spoke again, his smile soft but strangely calculated.
“Tomorrow is your ritual celebration. You will officially join the Dark Silver Pack and connect with us all.”
I nodded slowly.
“Would you honor me this evening?” he continued. “Perhaps we could go into town together and find a dress for the occasion.”
The way he said it — carefully, smoothly — left no doubt about his intentions.
My heart tightened.
“I’m afraid I must decline,” I replied, rising slightly from the bench and bowing my head. “My lover would not be pleased to see me in the company of a mateless wolf.”
The words were not planned, but once spoken, I felt a strange sense of relief.
The boundary had been drawn.
Shane froze.
“Lover?” he repeated, disbelief filling hi
s expression. “My lady… do you already have a mate?”

TEMPTING THE DARK MAN Chapter 46
The final chapter The pack celebration lasted for three days. From the moment the news of the Alpha heir spread, wolves from distant territories arrived — some on horseback, some in royal convoys, some by foot, each bringing gifts, blessings, and promises of loyalty to the newborn prince of the pack. The palace courtyard was transformed into a sea of lanterns and silver banners, the moon symbol glowing everywhere. Hazel stood beside Orion at the entrance of the hall, Rowan resting in her arms, wrapped in the white blanket her mother had woven for him. The cheers of the pack rose like thunder. Then Hazel saw them. Adrian and Mira stepped forward from the crowd, a little girl standing between them, her tiny hand clutched in Mira’s gown. The child’s dark curls bounced as she looked around with wide curious eyes. “Mira…” Hazel whispered. They met halfway, Hazel handing Rowan carefully to her mother before pulling Mira into a warm embrace. “I missed you,” Hazel said. Mira smiled
TEMPTING THE DARK MAN Chapter 45
*Hazel* I lay on the hospital bed feeling both weak and strangely strengthened, as if something inside me had shifted forever. “Congratulations to us,” Ayla’s voice echoed inside my mind. I rolled my eyes, not in the mood for her games. “You shouldn’t mess with my mental health, Ayla. You weren’t there when that servant was trying to hurt me.” She laughed softly. “Exactly. I wanted you to face her yourself. And be careful, Hazel — our baby boy is still fragile.” I froze. “Baby… boy?” I whispered. “Ayla, don’t joke about this.” But she was already fading away. “You’ll see,” she said, leaving me with a racing heart and too many thoughts. Moments later, Orion walked in with a smile so wide it looked like he had just conquered the world. He leaned down and kissed my forehead. “Congratulations to us,” he said again. My eyes widened. “You too?” He laughed. “The doctor told me. We’re having a baby.” The room felt like it was glowing. I wrapped my arms around him, laughing and cry
TEMPTING THE DARK MAN Chapter 44
*Hazel* Life had been good for a while. I had grown closer to Ayla, learning to control myself and protect my emotions. I had become stronger and more powerful. I often wondered if being Luna was truly worth it, especially when my personal life felt overwhelming. But I soon realized that without stability in my own life, I could never properly lead the pack as its Luna. So I became more consistent — checking on the servants, attending to their needs, visiting the pack’s children at their schools, and taking part in pack activities. It was exhausting at first, but I eventually found it enjoyable and always looked forward to it. Sometimes I even accompanied my mother when she delivered her handmade gifts and artwork. Today had been especially busy, and my body felt unusually weak. I decided to return early. I mindlinked Bella and Frost — the new servant who had replaced Mira. She had passed the final test and earned her position. While Bella arranged my room, I asked Frost to escor
TEMPTING THE DARK MAN Chapter 43
*Orion* We hid within the bushes until night fell, waiting for the right moment to strike. This was the final mission — to eliminate their packhouse. They had become a plague to the surrounding packs: attacking borders, killing hunters, and committing unforgivable crimes against innocent wolves, especially young females. Many had tried to track them, but they were clever, hiding near the desert where no pack dared to remain for long. Tonight, it ended. When the moon stood high, I ignited the paper in my hand and sent it drifting toward the roof of the packhouse, channeling my power into the flame. The fire spread swiftly. The night glowed with heat and light as the structure was swallowed whole. *Hazel* We stood together and watched. Watched the home of monsters collapse into ash. Watched years of fear burn away. Watched justice take its final breath. No rogue pack remained. My heart was heavy — but for the first time since my father’s death, it was steady. Jus
TEMPTING THE DARK MAN Chapter 42
*Hazel* The decision was made before the sun reached its peak. We would return to the desert. The desert that had swallowed my parents’ hope. The desert that hid the rogues from every pack. The desert that would now expose their sins. My mother stood beside me as we prepared. She was quiet, but there was a fire in her eyes I had never seen before. Not grief. Not fear. Resolve. “They always passed through the southern ridge,” she finally said. Orion lifted his head. “You’re certain?” “Yes. If I saw the one who killed my husband. I would recognize him anywhere.” My chest tightened. The wound in my heart reopened — but this time, it bled purpose. We rode before nightfall. The desert air was heavy and cruel, but we pushed on. Wolves shifted when needed. The sand cut at our legs, the wind clawed at our faces, yet none of us slowed. We followed the route my mother remembered. Every turn… every ridge… until at last— “There,” she whispered. Her hand trembled as she poin
TEMPTING THE DARK MAN Chapter 41
*Hazel* I woke up the next morning feeling the warmth of Orion beside me. The sunlight streamed faintly through the curtains, and I could hear the soft breathing of his wolf echoing in my mind. I stretched languidly, smiling at the scent of him filling the room. My legs were still sore from yesterday, but my body craved him again. “Morning, my lady,” he murmured, nudging me with his nose playfully. I giggled and pounced on him, tangling my fingers in his hair, tugging him closer. He growled low in his throat, rolling us both onto the bed. My hands roamed his body while his hands kneaded mine, the heat building quickly. After several stolen kisses and soft moans, we finally disentangled, laughing breathlessly. I slipped into the bathroom, my body aching but yearning for normalcy. The water cascaded over me, washing away yesterday’s tension. Orion was nowhere near silent either, teasing me through the steam, catching my attention with glances and fleeting touches. I dressed in a sim
