Scarlett’s POV

“Like what you see?”

I turned to face him. A tall, broad man with obsidian eyes that pierced deep into me. He wore a plain black mask, such a contrast to his dark suit with velvet streaks, and was making him appear even more mysterious and dangerous.

“I believe this is the first time you have seen something like this,” he said, his voice filled with amusement.

I swallowed hard. “I… I have seen it before,” I replied, though my words felt weak and uncertain.

He raised an eyebrow, trying to appear intrigued. “Where?” He was toying with me as if enjoying the game.

“Pornography,” I blurted out, immediately regretting it.

He laughed a laugh which was low and rich. A sound that sent shivers down my spine. “Cinderella…”

“What?” I asked, confused.

“You look like Cinderella with that gown and your hair,” He chuckled darkly. “Are you sure this is the right place for you?”

My frustration bubbled to the surface. “Who are you to tell me where I belong? I’m an adult, and I know how to make my own choices.”

His smile was wicked. “Barely an adult…”

My breath hitched as his hand brushed my waist, sending a jolt of electricity through me. He turned my head, and my eyes were drawn to a sultry scene across the room where two figures were making out. Their bodies were moving in perfect rhythm as they kissed and they appeared as if they were an art themselves.

How could a make out session appear like art? What on earth was this place?

A fire ignited inside me. I couldn’t understand it, but the primal energy of the room was awakening something deep within me. Something that I did not know existed inside me until now.

“There is something about you,” the mysterious and dangerous man whispered, his nose grazing the nape of my neck. “Your scent... it’s... alluring. What is it?”

“I didn’t apply any scent,” I whispered, my eyes fluttering closed as his breath caressed my skin.

He hummed, his hand now resting on the back of my neck. “Ah…” His fingers gently pressed against my skin, sending waves of warmth through me. “You shouldn’t have waltzed in here, Cinderella. This place isn’t meant for you. Something... much worse could happen.”

I turned to face him, my hand slipping into his hair, pulling him closer. “Worse?” I whispered, my voice dripping with defiance. “Bring it on.”

His lips crashed against mine in a bruising kiss while his hands moved as if they knew exactly what they wanted. My back hit the wall as his body pressed me into the darkness of the corner.

“It’s dark here,” I murmured.

“Trust me, Cinderella,” he whispered against my lips, his breath hot and heavy. “I want no one else to see you like this.”

Like what? Before I could ask, his kiss deepened, and I felt his hands slip under my gown, finding my body in ways that made my mind dizzy with need.

“I will kill anyone who sees you like this,” he growled. His hand brushed all the way from my thighs to my throbbing vagina.

I moaned softly, my mind fogged with desire and confusion. “What are you doing to me?”

“The question is,” he whispered, his lips brushing my ear, “What are you doing to me?”

I gasped as his hands explored further and then he paused, his eyes dark with intent.

“Which pack’s princess are you?” he asked, his voice filled with hunger and curiosity.

Princess? I wasn’t a princess. I was just a girl who had stolen a moment of freedom, a glimpse into a world I couldn’t truly understand. In a true sense, I was what he had called me earlier. A Cinderella.

“I would like to remain anonymous,” I said, my voice steady despite the fire that was burning inside me.

He chuckled softly. “Fair enough.” His hand slid up my thigh, and I shivered. “Would you like to know me?”

“No,” I replied, my voice more sure now even though the storm was brewing inside me.

He smiled darkly, his grip tightening on me. “What are you really here for, princess?”

I met his gaze, my eyes burning with defiance. “I’m here for sex. If you can’t give it to me, I will find someone else who will.”

His expression hardened as a possessive gleam ignited in his eyes. “Like hell, someone else will touch you.”

And with that, he hoisted me over his shoulder, his hand slapping my bottom lightly as he made his way toward the exit of the ballroom.

“Where are you taking me?” I asked with fear and anticipation.

“To give you what you need,” he replied, his voice a low growl.

Mysterious. Possessive. Dangerous. What a recipe for a disaster!

At that moment, I had no idea that I had contributed to a potential war between two packs that would burn my life.

    Dante’s POVShe was gone.A princess waltzed into my life, igniting the dormant feelings I thought had long since died. And then, without a trace, she vanished.Not a single damn trace.I could still smell her. Her vanilla and something sweet scent clung to my sheets. A scent so intoxicating, it was almost like I could taste it and as if it was burned into my soul.But it wasn’t just her scent.Her blood stained the sheets, too.I marked her with my teeth. Her soft, delicate skin was now marred with my canines. The bite was still fresh in my mind as the pulse of her heartbeat under my teeth echoed in my head. No hallucination could feel so real."Alpha, we have searched every CCTV, every bus and train station, and there is no trace of a woman in a blue gown with red hair," Killian’s voice broke through the haze of anger clouding my mind. His words and the doubt they carried were like poison twisting in my gut. He thought I was losing my mind. They all did. I know it would not be the

    Scarlet’s POVIt was the day.The day I dreaded.The day I had been waiting for.I sat before an old and intricate mirror. In it, my reflection was almost unrecognisable. The room buzzed with movement og maids, stylists, and attendants. All fussing over me as if I were the most important person in the world.How ironic.They say that when you die, people ultimately pay attention. Even those who never cared find something kind to say. Maybe that was why they were all looking at me now.But I wasn’t dead. Not yet.Their attention on me was suffocating. Every touch, every whispered word, felt like I was being shaped into something I wasn’t. Something I would never be. Something I wished to escape at any cost. Even if the cost was death. "Is she ready?" My mother’s voice cut through the noise."Yes, Mrs. Rosetti. Miss Rosetti is ready," the makeup artist said.I turned to look at my mother, standing tall in a gown of deep champagne, diamonds and pearls glistening against her beautiful sk

    Dante’s PovI stood still in the temple, surrounded by the haunting echoes of chants reverberating through the sacred halls. The air was thick with sorrow, heavy with the weight of a loss too great to bear. Around me, the pack stood in solemn silence, their heads bowed in mourning.But this grief wasn’t just for any fallen warrior.We had lost the heart of our pack.We had lost Liam.He had been more than just my Beta. He was my brother in every way that mattered—my confidant, my family. And now he was gone, reduced to ashes because of a war I had fueled with my own hatred and thirst for revenge.The guilt gnawed at me, relentless and unforgiving. If I hadn't been so blinded by anger if I had made different choices, would Liam still be alive? Would he still be standing beside me instead of lying in a cold urn, his presence nothing more than a memory? But it was too late for regret. The damage was done. Irreversible.My gaze drifted through the sea of grieving faces until it settled on

    Scarlet’s POVWhen I opened my eyes, I was inside a cage.The stench of blood, piss, and filth filled the air. The metallic tang of suffering clung to my throat, making it hard to breathe. Around me, I could hear the agonised screams of werewolves—wolves that were not fierce but broken. Helpless. Caged. Just like me.At least they had the strength to scream.I didn’t.I was too numb to feel. Too hollow to make a sound.My body lay sprawled on the cold, dirty floor, still draped in the wedding dress that had once been white. Now, it was ruined. Stained crimson with blood. But it was clinging to my skin like a sick reminder of what had happened.Every time I closed my eyes, the scene replayed, burning itself into my mind like a curse.My mother. The way she died.The way Alyssa moved, and then my mom was killed. It was over.I couldn't escape the memory. It haunted me, clawing at the edges of my sanity.She hated me. She tormented me. And yet… despite all the cruelty, she was still my

    A blur. A rush of movement. A gust of wind.And suddenly, Rome was gone.He hit the ground with a heavy thud and now he was groaning in pain.I gasped, coughing violently as I collapsed onto the cold filthy floor as my body was convulsing from the lack of air.Through the haze of tears clouding my vision, I saw her.A woman stood where Rome had been. Her presence radiated power. Her violet hair cascaded down her back like liquid silk.She roared. “Have you lost your fucking mind? Do you even realize what you were doing?”Rome, still clutching his side from the impact, spat out venomously, “Shut up, Vespera! You don’t understand! Liam was my brother! My best friend! I was avenging him!”Vespera’s gaze didn’t waver. “Rome, as much as I respect your grief, you were wrong. Fucking wrong.” She added, “Now get the hell out of here before the Alpha finds out what you’ve done. Don’t disappoint him more than you already have.”The soldiers shifted uncomfortably, uncertain whether to follow her

    Dante’s POVThe grand hall buzzed with tension. This wasn’t just any meeting, it was a gathering of the pack’s most influential members, often summoned for a crisis discussion.The recent attack on the Moon Lord Pack had drained us. Resources were stretched thin. Our warriors—loyal, battle-hardened wolves—were wounded, some so gravely that they wouldn’t return to the battlefield for months. We needed reinforcements, but war wasn’t just fought with claws and fangs. It required wealth, provisions, and strategy. Right now, we were lacking all three.Then came the issue of recruitment. We needed new soldiers, but the cost of building an army was staggering. Someone suggested cutting the current warriors’ salaries to fund new recruits.My jaw clenched.The army was the backbone of our pack. If we slashed their wages, how would we retain our best fighters? How would we keep morale from collapsing? But the rules of my pack dictate that the decision of majority prevailed. I was not a tyrant.

    Scarlet’s PovI opened my eyes.Soft. That was the first thing I noticed. I wasn’t lying on the hard, cold floor of the cage anymore. Beneath me was something soft, far too gentle to belong to the nightmare I had endured.The room around me looked like something straight out of a historical painting. Elegant, old-fashioned, and warm. The windows were open, allowing golden sunlight to stream inside, painting the walls in soft hues of morning glow.Sunlight.I blinked.Back in the Moon Lord Pack, it was always cold. The sky was often blanketed with thick, grey clouds, swallowing any trace of warmth. But here? It felt as if the very heavens had opened their doors and let the sun in just for me.Then it hit me.I gasped.“Oh my god... I died.”Of course. That was the only explanation.I must have died.I looked around in panic, my gaze landing on an old woman standing near the bed. She was dressed in a simple cotton gown, her white hair neatly tied back. She was short, delicate even, but w

    Dante’s POVA few minutes ago."What brings you here, Dante?" Elizabeth asked as she walked to my side. Her voice was calm, but I could see the exhaustion in her eyes. Her grandson died, and the woman’s life collapsed. "I heard Vespara came to you," I said."Oh yes, she did. She brought a patient," Elizabeth replied, her tone turning grim. "She said the hospitals are overcrowded, so I took the girl in myself. She told me Rome attacked her. What was he thinking, going after a wolfless girl?"I stiffened. "She’s wolfless?""Yes," Elizabeth confirmed. "Too weak. If you so much as use normal force on her, her bones will snap like twigs. She is as fragile as a human."My jaw clenched. Why the fuck would Hector marry a fragile human? Then again, considering his twisted, bloody obsessions, maybe I shouldn’t be surprised."How is she now?" I asked."Broken," Elizabeth said bluntly. "She has old wounds, fresh ones… it'll take a long time for her to heal. And even then, some scars will never f

    Scarlet’s POVI couldn’t accept it. No… this thought, this looming truth, it couldn’t be real. I didn’t know what would become of me. My life was spiralling out of control, slipping through my fingers like grains of sand. I clung to him, desperately, like a drowning soul latching onto driftwood in a stormy sea. I held him as tightly as I could, because if I let go… I would fall.He was the only solid thing left in my world. My anchor. My pillar of strength. Without him, I would shatter.My mind was muddled, scattered, lost in fear, lost in the crushing weight of tomorrow. My trembling fingers reached for him, again and again, needing to feel every inch of him. But it wasn’t enough. No closeness could be enough.I wanted to be closer. So close, I would melt into him. So close, I could seep beneath his skin, flow in his bloodstream, hide within his heartbeat.Because if I had to leave him tomorrow, I didn’t want to exist as a memory. I wanted to become a part of him. A piece he coul

Out. Now,” he commanded, his voice deadly calm.Boots shuffled quickly out of the room. The door shut. Silence.Then he knelt.He reached for me, gently, as though I would break at his touch.But I recoiled, tears blurring my vision. I pushed at him, trembling. “Don’t… don’t touch me. I’m dirty…” My voice cracked. “I’m spoiled… stained. Dante, please… don’t…”“Hush,” he whispered, pulling me into his arms anyway, as if to shield me from the very air around us.I didn’t resist for long.I collapsed into him.And I cried. I cried like a child. He held me through it, against his soul, not letting go. Not once.I don’t know how long I cried. Only that he never stopped holding me.Then he carried me in his

    Hector grabbed me by the throat, his grip like a vice while choking the air out of my lungs.“You dared to call that bastard?” he growled, eyes gleaming with fury. “Let me show you who really owns you.”I clawed at his hand, struggling to breathe, my other hand desperately reaching behind me. My fingers brushed against the nightstand, searching for anything—something—to save myself. Then I felt it: a small glass vial. The poison. The one Alyssa had given me. It was the one meant for Dante. She had told me to pour it directly on his heart. It would kill him.But I wasn’t going to use it on Dante.As Hector bit into my skin, sinking his teeth with vicious hunger, I wrapped my fingers tightly around the bottle. My hand shook, but I didn’t hesitate. With one sudden motion, I uncorked it and poured the poison onto his back.He let out a bloodcurdling scream. It was inhuman, raw, guttural pain ripping through him. His skin hissed where the poison touched, like acid on flesh. I had never hea

Vespara had already left along with many of the soldiers she came with. The house felt too quiet for its own good. I suddenly miss Dante and Vespara. Although Dante was avoiding me because he thinks I will pounce on him, which I planned to, but is on hold for now, I still miss him. It was just as the first ray of dawn broke across the sky when I heard movement outside the bedroom. My heart lifted for a moment. I thought it was Dante. I hadn’t seen him since the morning, and the idea of seeing him again gave me a fleeting sense of comfort.But when I stepped into the living room, it wasn’t Dante.

    When I returned to the room, my breath was shallow and ragged, like I had been running for my life. In some ways, I had.Vespara looked up from the corner of the bed where she sat wrapped in silence, her eyes narrowing as soon as she saw me. “Are you okay?” she asked, her voice laced with concern.I smiled.But it wasn’t the kind of smile one gives to reassure. It was the kind born of secrets, of plans stitched together in shadows. I had clarity now. I had a purpose. The destruction of the Moonlord pack wasn’t just revenge anymore, it was freedom. Solace. A beginning.I stepped closer. My voice dropped, quiet but steady. “Do you want to solidify your position as Beta?”She blinked, confused, frowning as if unsure she’d heard me right. “What?”I sat beside her, leaned in just enough for her to listen what I am going to say. If there are stronger wolves around us, they may listen to us. Dammit. I wish I could have a mind link right now. “On the outskirts of the Moonlord territory,” I

    I stared at her, my throat dry. “And what if I don’t want to?”She smiled and it was worse than a threat. It was a promise.“You will return to the pack sooner or later. And when you do, you know exactly what awaits you.”Alyssa leaned in, her voice now a slow venomous drip.“Juno—no, Hector—he will punish you in ways you can’t even imagine. He will break you, Scarlet. You will be his wife, his property, his soulmate. Every breath will belong to him. And no one will stop it.”I felt something inside me crumble, just a little.“Kill Dante.” Her words sliced through the air. “Tonight. Or tomorrow, Alpha will accept Dante’s offer and hand you back. You will be dragged back in chains, Scarlet. Your silence will not save you. And your screams—” she smirked, “—they will be just the beginning.”I shivered. Not from the cold, but from the familiar darkness I thought I had escaped.“You think you can run?” Alyssa's voice slithered out like venom. “Even if you escape this pack, even if you fle

    It was dinner time. Vespara didn’t want to go downstairs. Her face was pale and her shoulders curled inwards as if she was trying to disappear into herself. I didn’t ask why because her silence was answer enough. So, I offered to bring food up for both of us.She had confided in me. She had cried in my arms, shaken with fear, rage, and heartbreak. No one had ever trusted me like that before. And even if I didn’t understand everything she was carrying, I wanted to protect her in the only way I could. She became a friend to me in this time. She did not held back anything between us. Since we were already sharing secrets, she turned to me and asked softly, “Can I ask you something?”I had no idea what was coming, but I nodded anyway.Then came her question and for a moment, I forgot to breathe. “Did you come to the Alpha’s Ball?”I looked at her, stunned. There was no reason to lie. What difference would it make now?I nodded.Her eyes widened, and then she broke into a wide grin.

  • Alpha’s Forbidden Temptation   Chapter 44

    Scarlet's POVWhen we reached the room, Vespara sat silently on the corner of the bed, her back slightly hunched, her gaze lost somewhere in the space between the wall and the window. I watched her for a while, then finally asked, gently, “Do you want to talk about it?”She let out a breath, not quite a sigh, just air escaping from the cracks in her carefully guarded shell. “I don’t know,” she said. “What will I even say? What decision can I possibly make?” Her fingers tightened around the blanket beneath her.“If I keep the baby, my whole life turns upside down,” she whispered. “I will never become Beta. Rome will use it against me, call me weak, unfit, emotional. I will lose before I ever get the chance to fight. But if I don’t keep it—” her voice broke for a second, “—if I give up the baby for my future… how do I look at myself in the mirror after that? This baby is the only part of him I have left. The last piece of Killian. The last blood of Elizabeth. What do I do, Scarlet?”He

    Scarlet's POV“This can’t be true! This can’t be true!” Vespara’s voice cracked as she stumbled back a step. “I can’t be pregnant!”She was panicking.I reached for her, wrapping my arms around her trembling body. “Calm down. Hey. Hey, it’s okay. It’s fine. I’m right here. You’re going to be okay.”Never in my life did I think I would see someone like Vespara who was always so fierce, so strong fall apart like this. But here she was, completely cracking. She looked terrified, like her entire world had just crumbled. What kind of weight did this pregnancy carry for her? Why was it shaking her so deeply?She clutched the counter for support. “How can I be pregnant?” she whispered again, and then her strength gave way. Her shoulders began to shake as tears streamed down her cheeks. She broke down, sobbing.I hugged her tighter. “Vespara… It’s okay. You don’t have to do this alone. If you’re not ready to be a mom, there are always other options. You can—”“No!” she cried, shaking her head
