All Chapters of Tempting My Best Friend's Alpha Father: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

~DAMIEN~“You’re coming with me,” I say calmly, but there’s no room for argument in my voice. “You’re moving into my house.”Her eyes widen slightly. “What?”I hold her gaze steadily.“This isn’t random, Holly,” I continue, my voice low and serious. “Someone was watching you. Someone came to your door. That’s not something I’m taking chances with.”Her grip on me tightens again slightly.“I don’t want you here alone,” I add, softer now. “Not even for one more night.”She swallows, her emotions still lingering in her eyes.“B-But….”“No,” I cut in gently. “This wasn't like the last time you refused for reasons best known to you, and I allowed you.”Her lips part slightly like she wants to argue… like there are a thousand thoughts fighting inside her head, but nothing comes out.“Holly,” I call softly, brushing my thumb against her cheek again. “Trust me.”There's a pause, a quiet moment, then she nods slowly.“Okay.”Relief settles in my chest….but it’s not co

~HOLLY~The moment Gabriel's eyes lock on mine… everything inside me spirals.My heart starts beating so fast it feels wrong…..too loud, too hard, like it’s trying to break out of my chest.I’m standing there… right between them.Damien behind me.Gabriel in front of meHe’s right there.Not a memory. Not a thought I keep pushing away. Not a voice I replay in my head when I can’t sleep.He’s real, standing in front of me, breathing, looking at me.And God… the way he’s looking at me…..My chest tightens so painfully I almost stagger.His eyes don’t widen in shock. They don’t soften either.They just stay on me……cold, unreadable and heavy.Like I’m something he doesn’t recognize anymore.Like I’m someone he doesn’t want to recognize.My lips part, but nothing comes out.Not his name.Not a breath.Nothing.Silence stretches between us, thick and suffocating, until I feel like I’m drowning in it.I want to look away from Gabriel, but I don’t know where to look.

It hadn’t felt right.That’s what kept replaying in his head as he walked her down to the room.Because earlier that night… Gabriel hadn’t been asleep.He had been lying exactly the same way he always does… staring at the ceiling, lost in thoughts he couldn’t escape.And then he heard the front door opening in a soft and careful way.Almost like someone didn’t want to be noticed.His brows had furrowed instantly, because his father doesn’t sneak.Damien Blackwood doesn’t move quietly.He doesn’t hide.He doesn’t leave the house in the middle of the night like a man with something to conceal.But tonight… he did.Gabriel had sat up slowly, his heart beating just a little faster, listening to the faint around of footsteps.Then silence.And then, the door closing.He had gotten out of bed almost immediately, walked to his window, and there it was.His father’s car… pulling out of the driveway….fast, purposeful, and reckless.Like he knew exactly where he was going.Gabriel had frowned,

~DAMIEN~The moment I tell Gabriel to take her to the guest room…Lucian snarls.It’s not subtle. It’s not controlled.It’s immediate.‘That was a mistake.’His voice rips through my head, deep and sharp, filled with disapproval.My jaw tightens as I watch Gabriel turn, Holly following him quietly like she doesn’t trust her own footing.‘You’re pushing them together,’ Lucian continues, pacing restlessly in the back of my mind. ‘Is that what you want? To watch your son take what is yours?’My fingers curl slightly at my sides.“It’s not like that,” I reply through the mind link, my tone clipped, controlled.Lucian lets out a low, dangerous growl.‘Then explain.’I exhale slowly, forcing my shoulders to stay relaxed, even though every instinct in me is screaming otherwise.“He needed space,” I tell him. “If I had taken her myself… he would have felt something.”Lucian goes quiet for half a second.Then…‘Felt what?’I glance toward the hallway they disappeared

~HOLLY~Morning comes too quickly, and I don’t think I actually slept.Maybe my body shut down at some point, but my mind… my mind stayed wide awake, replaying everything over and over again like a cruel loop I couldn’t escape.Gabriel’s voice.“I still do… and I still want you.”Damien’s rage.The way the door slammed open.The way his eyes looked at me… not just angry, but something deeper. Something darker. Something that made my chest tighten even now.I exhale slowly, staring at my reflection in the mirror.“You need to get it together,” I whisper to myself.Because hiding in this room forever isn’t an option.Eventually, I have to face them.Both of them.I turn away from the mirror and walk into the bathroom, closing the door softly behind me like I’m trying not to disturb the chaos in my own head.The moment I step under the shower and the warm water hits my skin… I finally breathe.Really breathe.My eyes slide shut as the water runs down my body, wa
