Lahat ng Kabanata ng Alpha’s Forbidden Temptation: Kabanata 181 - Kabanata 190

Third Person POVInside the room, after Scarlet and Vespara had stepped out, the air grew still and thick with tension and things left unsaid. Violet stood by the bedside, her arms crossed and her expression sharp and cold.“Let’s just get to the point,” she said flatly. “Why did you ask me to come here after twenty-five years?”Elizabeth, lying weakly against the pillows, her voice fragile, replied, “I didn’t ask you to come.”Violet’s lips curled into a bitter smile. “Oh, I don’t buy that for a second. Don’t tell me you didn’t tell Scarlet to call me.”“I didn’t,” Elizabeth said. “Scarlet thought it would give us peace, especially me. But I had no intention of calling you. That was her decision.”Violet laughed, but there was no humour in it. “Of course. The ever-so-noble Scarlet. She must have thought that if she got the dying woman to forgive her long-lost daughter, it would somehow grant you peace in the afterlife, right? How sweet.”“You’re not stupid, Violet,” Elizabeth said, e

The soft wind blew across the terrace of his guest residence in Alpha Dante’s estate as King Timothy stood alone, hands clasped behind his back. It had been two days since Violet had been brought here. She still hadn’t fully woken up. At times, she stirred, opened her eyes briefly, but always drifted back into sleep. This wasn’t new. It had been happening for years. After a seizure, she often slept for days as her mind and body shut down. She was recovering in the only way they could.From the terrace, he could see all of Phantom Moon. The sun bathed the entire pack in golden light. Compared to the capital, it was smaller, quieter, but undeniably prosperous. One of the most developed parts of his kingdom. High per capita income, near-zero poverty, excellent infrastructure. There was peace here, the kind that lasted. It annoyed him a little, but he couldn’t deny the truth.Alpha Dante had created something stable. Something functional and something really good. Only if all packs were th

Back then, he didn’t believe her. How could he?She had spent years locked in the cold walls of a mental asylum when her mind was crumbling under the pressure of her grief and guilt. She was sick; physically, emotionally, mentally. And during one of those years, she had even disappeared for a time. Everyone thought she had died. When she returned, broken and unstable, how could he have believed that she had carried a pregnancy to term? She had been too fragile to hold herself together, let alone protect a life inside her.Besides, Violet loved him with a depth that bordered on madness or so he thought despite being not her first choice, how could she, of all people, give up their child? It sounded impossible. Just another haunting lie whispered by a mind lost in trauma. But it wasn’t.Years later, when the pain had dulled and the world had moved on, he finally stumbled upon the truth.. She had been pregnant. She had given birth.And she had abandoned that child during one of her psych

Scarlet's POVThe night was still, and the stars had long since taken their place above the estate. Dante lay asleep beside me, his presence was a quiet comfort against the hush of midnight. But sleep wouldn’t come to me. My thoughts were restless, flitting between excitement and anxiety, and so, I found myself scrolling through my phone.I was looking at wedding locations.Since we had decided to get married and not just a quick courthouse ceremony. I want something truly beautiful like something that would make us both remember as we had agreed to make it our dream. And this was one of the little joys in a life that had been so full of chaos and survival.I smiled to myself as I zoomed in on a beachside venue. A white sand shore that, oddly enough, had a dusting of snow in winter. Almost like a scene from a fairy tale.Suddenly, Dante shifted. His arm slipped around my waist as he pulled me close, his voice low and thick with sleep. “Seems like one round wasn’t enough for you,” he m

Scarlet’s POVVespara moved out that day.She had made her decision with a lot of pondering, and though it was the right thing for her, for Elizabeth, it still left a small ache in the heart of our home. Now, it was just the four of us: Dante, me, Amy, and Ace. A small and quiet family. The first day without Vespara and the twins felt hollow. There was a strange stillness in the house.“Shall we see some wedding venues today?” Dante asked gently that morning, sensing the stillness in me after my bestfriend moved out.We visited several places, driving from one beautiful estate to another, each more extravagant than the last. There were rolling vineyards, snowy pine forests, and candlelit halls with stained glass ceilings, but nothing felt right. Nothing touched that hidden corner of the heart that whispered this is it.As we drove back, we talked about the timing instead. We agreed that we didn’t want to rush. It was already May, and even with the best team and all the help we had, a w
