All Chapters of Tempting My Best Friend's Alpha Father: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

~HOLLY~Marked.The word settles into my chest like something alive.It shouldn’t feel like this.It shouldn’t make my heart race or send warmth spreading through me in slow, steady waves. It shouldn't have made my skin feel too tight, too aware, too alive.It shouldn’t make me feel… full.But it does.I stand there, staring at Damien, my breath uneven, my pulse loud in my ears….not from fear, not from confusion…but from something dangerously close to happiness.“My wolf has marked you without my permission.”His voice is low, rough, controlled, but I hear the tension beneath it.And still…all I hear is that one word.Marked.My fingers lift slowly to my neck, brushing over my skin. There’s nothing visible, nothing different to the eye.But I feel it.Not physically.Something deeper than that.Something warm… steady… grounding.Like a quiet presence wrapped around me.Like him.“I…” My voice comes out soft, almost fragile. “I don’t mind.”Damien freezes compl

~HOLLY~The silence feels…wrong.It settles too fast, too loud, too empty.I stand there for a long moment after the door closes behind Damien, staring at it like if I just wait a little longer…he might walk back in.Like he forgot something.Like he forgot me.My fingers curl slightly at my sides.Nothing happens. No footsteps. No knock.No deep, steady voice calling my name again.Just…silence.I realize he's truly gone when I hear the sound of his car driving away.I sigh deeply and heavily.A shaky breath leaves my lips, and I slowly turn around, my eyes drifting across the house.And that’s when it hits me.He’s everywhere.Not physically…but God, it feels like he is.The dining chairs, the bed, the wall where he leaned that one time, watching me with that unreadable look in his eyes before everything spiraled into something we couldn’t stop.My chest tightens.I take a slow step forward, then another.And suddenly, it’s like the entire house is screaming memories at me.The room

“Alpha Nicholas, I think Damien is really interested in that girl,” Alvin tells Nicholas.The words hang in the air like a spark waiting to ignite something dangerous.Nicholas doesn’t respond immediately.Instead, he sits on his throne….legs spread slightly, one hand resting lazily on the armrest, the other gripping a glass of dark wine so tightly it looks like it might shatter.The hall is silent….too silent.Then, a low chuckle escapes his lips….dark, cold and unsettling.Alvin shifts uncomfortably.That laugh…. It never means anything good.Nicholas tilts his head slightly, his eyes distant….lost in memories he has buried for years.Years… that suddenly feel like nothing.Because one name still burns like fresh fire in his chest.Laura.She was the only woman he had ever loved. The woman he wanted to be his.Then he goes down memory lane.~~~The scent of wildflowers and soft laughter echoing in the mountains.Laura standing at the edge of the cliff, her hair dancing with the win

Nicholas pauses ten steps away from the cafe door, then resumes staring at Holly, considering if he should approach her now or not…. when suddenly the cafe door opens, and someone steps in.Everything inside him snaps when he sees it's Damien.The air changes.It’s subtle, almost invisible to human senses, but to Nicholas….it’s like a storm just stepped into the room.Damien smells of power, dominance, and authority.He doesn't even try to hide it.Nicholas’ curiosity…..the quiet, dangerous interest that had been building since he saw Holly….dies instantly.And in its place, something darker rises.Something violent.His jaw tightens so hard it aches.His fists curl slowly at his sides, veins standing out against his skin.Inside him, Aether explodes.He doesn't stir or react ... .but explodes.A burning, savage rage surges through his veins like wildfire, clawing at his control, demanding release.‘Him.’ Aether’s voice is a low, vicious growl inside his head. ‘He dares come near her.

~HOLLY~I have been hanging out lately with Damien while waiting for school to resume.And it's a good thing that this cafe with this mini library opened just close to my street.It made it easy for me to keep myself busy, so I don't stay locked up in my room missing Damien all day.The first day I went there, I had told Damien about it, and I was very surprised when he showed up the next day at the cafe.I still remember the way my heart skipped when I saw him walk in with all smiles.And since then, he has been visiting the cafe because of me, and I really definitely enjoy reading a book with Damien.I was surprised to know that he loves reading books, and guess what??We do have the same taste in books.Sometimes, we don’t even talk. We just sit across each other, flipping pages… but even in silence, it feels like everything is being said.I'm currently in my bed, in my night wear, scrolling through my phone and chatting happily with Damien, while waiting f
