Lahat ng Kabanata ng Alpha’s Forbidden Temptation: Kabanata 211 - Kabanata 220

Rome arrived with the remaining soldiers just as I collapsed beside Ace. They carefully lifted him from the ground, his body bloodied and broken, and carried him to the medivac unit.“Alpha, are you alright?” Rome asked as he supported my arm, seeing the torn flesh, deep bruises, and claw marks covering my body.I didn’t answer his question. I only asked one of my own, my voice hoarse. “What’s the situation?”Rome’s expression darkened. “Worse than we expected. The Moonlord and Blood Moon Pack has joined forces with the rebels. Our borders are on fire, literally. Entire watchposts have fallen. If we don’t hold them back now, they will take the southern gate by dusk.”I nodded grimly, the pain in my body secondary to the one ripping through my chest.“Take me to Ace,” I said, my voice hard and strained.We reached the hospital, and I stood like stone as I watched doctors and nurses rush him into the ICU. Tubes and wires snaked around his body. He looked so still. So pale. As if death we

Dante’s POVFor the next two days, I didn’t leave the house. I stayed right here, with the love of my life and our daughter, like the three of us had been stitched into a single soul. We were inseparable. After two brutal months of war, pain, and distance, we needed nothing more than each other.The weight of those weeks hadn’t just bruised our minds and hearts; it had bruised our bodies too. Scarlet had lost so much weight despite eating regularly and being cared for by the best, she had been constantly worried and overworked. She should’ve been pampered and surrounded by peace in this stage of pregnancy, not thrust into war and responsibility. But somehow, she carried it all. And now, as she slept with her head on my chest, arms gently wrapped around the bump that held our second child, her face finally wore a peaceful smile. It was the first real rest I had seen in her since all this began.I glanced at Amy, who lay on my other side, holding her iPad like it was her treasure chest.

Dante’s POVIt was just another peaceful morning, and we were sitting down for breakfast when the doorbell rang. Amy, as usual, was busy turning her ketchup into some kind of art on her plate. Scarlet, on the other hand, looked like she was trying to decide whether to eat her porridge or sneak off in search of cake. As for me, I was simply trying to manage my two mischievous girls.“I will go get the door,” Scarlet offered quickly, already pushing her chair back.“No, young lady,” I said, narrowing my eyes at her. “You are going to sit right there and finish your soup and porridge. I know exactly what you are up to, trying to get out of eating this and hunting for cake instead. If you finish your breakfast properly, I will give you a slice of your favourite chocolate ganache cake with peanut butter filling. Deal?”“Fineee,” she groaned dramatically, picking up her spoon again.“Daddy?” Amy said sweetly.“Yes, honey?” I turned to her with a smile.She pointed at the ketchup bottle. “Mo

Dante’s POVAfter Ace stormed out, Scarlet dropped the playful act she had put on to make him feel comfortable. Her expression shifted, and she looked at me with that commanding glint in her eyes.“Spill the tea, baby daddy.”God, she looked so hot when she was bossy like that.“What tea, baby?” I asked, playing innocent.“What’s the secret between you and Ace?” she pressed.I looked around, took a deep breath, and said, “Let’s take a walk. This is going to take time.”Her eyes narrowed. “Oh god, this is serious, isn’t it? We’re about to have that talk, right?”I nodded.We walked in silence for a while before I began. I told her everything. What happened the day Ace was injured? How Hector came to kill him… how he revealed the truth that Ace was my son. Hector had killed Marielle and my younger son, but he had stolen the older one. According to tradition, the firstborn of an Alpha is usually the strongest, often chosen as the heir. Hector knew that.I told her how Ace had quietly con

“Did something else happen?” I had asked Ace, half-teasing but also genuinely curious.“They kissed,” Ace whispered like he was passing top-secret war intel.“You’re kidding,” I whispered back, eyes wide.“No, I swear. She was drunk. They kissed. And then she beat his ass for kissing her,” Ace added, looking both horrified and impressed. “It happened during one of the soldiers’ gatherings. Everyone was drunk. I was reviewing the security cam footage later and I saw it.”I had grinned wide. “Cool!”Now I was even more eager to visit Ves. Not just to drop Amy off, but to see if I could tease a little truth out of her.“Dante, Ace….we’re heading to Ves’s place,” I called out. “Have dinner without us. We’ll eat there!”“I’ll drop you,” Dante offered immediately.“Nah, we’ll be fine,” I waved him off.“It’s raining,” he said pointedly.“Dante, I can drive,” I replied firmly. “I just want to feel independent—not like a fragile glass doll.”He didn’t argue further, but I could see that look
