All Chapters of Tempted by the Rogue Alpha: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Dexter I had watched Lara from a distance and concluded that she was safe in this house. I’d sped after the car that took her away, my heart racing in my throat. I’d never felt this kind of anxiety before. I thought she was hurt but at the same time, I couldn’t alarm Ander, who’d been by my side the whole time. He was already scared by what happened, so why should I make things worse? “You’ll be with her soon,” I told him to reassure him. I was torn between rescuing her and keeping Ander safe. I couldn’t endanger him, not after the trouble it had taken to find him safe. So, I called for backup. I asked Damson to come to the location. He told me he’d be here in a few. I parked on the other side of the road and watched. The car she was in went into the building. I gripped the steering wheel with one hand, cursing at myself for being a useless cripple. If I had both hands, I would’ve left Ander in the car and stormed in there without any fear of being caught. But I couldn’t leave hi

Dexter I haven’t slept a wink last night and the effects of my insomnia are starting to take a toll on me. I walk into a café and order two espressos. I down them both one after the other, but even that isn’t enough to wake me the fuck up. Everything is a damn mess and when things start to come together, I realize many more things. Like how Lara had tried to set me up in the beginning, especially with that shipment story. The things that went wrong for me. Walter surviving the attack. So many other little things that was obviously her. I’d told her about the plan to kill my father-in-law. And somehow, she found a way to let him know. I’m bitterly disappointed but at the same time, I can’t find it in me to hate her for what she’s done. I treated her…there aren’t any words. I’ve exhausted all of them. What I’ve done is irredeemable and now I see why she could never find it in herself to care about me the way I cared about her. How could she love me when the oldest memory she had

Lara We arrive at the location. My heart is galloping behind my ribcage and to be honest, I've started to regret my decision to come here just a little bit. Trusting Dexter isn't necessary a great idea. Although I have an armed Alex on my side, it could well be that this is a trap I'm walking into, one that will cost me my life. But every time I think about his voice and how he'd asked me to show up, I can't help but feel like I'm just making a wrong assumption of him. I push all of these thoughts to the back of my mind as I make my way into the warehouse. Just being here should be a bad sign because why would he ask me to come all the way here? This place is a great distance from the city center, and is too isolated for it to be considered safe for me. I feel Alex's eyes on me. I can sense his uncertainty even from where I'm standing. He doesn’t give me his opinion, though. He doesn’t tell me what he thinks. There are two other cars in this parking space in front of the warehou

LaraDexter asking me for forgiveness is not how I thought this conversation of ours would go. It deflates me momentarily, and what's worse is how genuine he seems. I stare into his eyes and for a fraction of a second, I don't recognize him. The man from my past—the one who had lived in my memories for all these years—isn't the one I'm staring at now. And with this bit of sympathy comes a wave of emotions, hatred and self-deprecation among them. What's wrong with me? How can I feel sorry for him? How can I even entertain the thought of accepting his apology, forgiving him, and moving on with my life?After everything he did?As if sensing my hesitation, Dexter lifts his hand and touches my cheek. I don't inch away from his touch. He says, "I see it in your eyes that you want to, Lara. I know you do."I shake my head. "Just the other night you were enraged that I was Lara, and now, you're asking for my forgiveness and wanting to wait for me. I don't know what it is you're waiting for

Lara Vaughan is truly dead, and his death is causing ripples in the werewolf world. The announcement will be made today concerning my position as Alpha. Honestly, I wasn’t expecting this to really happen. I knew Finch talked about it, but I guess a part of me never thought that he’d actually take things this seriously. But he has. And he insists that I should be Alpha to avenge myself. I have to admit that it makes me really nervous to take this role on. I don’t know the first thing about being Alpha and for a while now, I’ve felt lost concerning what to do next. Now that I don’t have to avenge myself, I feel an emptiness that’s concerning. I guess that’s the reality of living with hatred for so long. Now that I’ve let go of it, I don’t know how to move on without it.I find myself thinking about Dexter all the time. It’s like being tempted by him all over again. He has a way of creeping into my mind and settling there until he occupies everything. He’s in control even though he’
