Damien’s POVI was about to step up and match his energy when the door flung open. The doctor stepped in, adjusting his glasses, his gaze shifting between the two of us.The tension between us thickened as we straightened up instinctively.If he hadn't walked in, I’m not sure what would’ve happened between Callan and me.“Is she alright?” Callan asked before I could get a word out.The doctor cleared his throat. “Yes. Just shaken. She needs rest.”“And her ankle?” I pressed.“It’s healing. Her wolf’s doing the work. Just weak for now. I’ve bandaged her hand, too. She’ll be fine.”Relief washed over me. “Thank you.”I gestured toward the hall. “My beta will see you out.”Once they left, I pushed the door open and peeked in. Scarlet was fast asleep, her breathing soft and steady. There was a peace on her face that tugged at something in me. But I couldn’t step closer. I didn’t trust myself.Taking a few steps back, I watched her shift slightly beneath the blanket. Then, as the quiet ret

Damien’s POV“No, I don't want to be alone. Please.” I whispered, running blindly through the thick forest, branches slapping against my skin as tears streamed down my cheeks.“Help me,” I cried, my eyes catching sight of a glowing figure just ahead. A little girl, kneeling in the grass, quietly picking flowers.She paused and looked up, her soft eyes meeting mine. Something about her felt... magical.“Little moon goddess,” I mumbled, breathless. “Please... save me.”“Hey,” she said gently, tilting her head. “Where did you come from?”When she stood up, my breath caught. I’d never seen anyone so beautiful. Her skin shimmered under the golden sunlight, her smile warm and innocent.Without realizing, I smiled back. Something about her just made everything else fade.“Are you... a moon goddess?” I asked, stepping closer, slowly reaching out to touch her shoulder. She didn’t flinch or move away.“Are you lost? Where are your parents?” she asked softly.“I... I can’t find them. We came hu

Scarlet’s POV My heart raced as I shot up in fear, my breath ragged.Without thinking, I raced to the door, flung it open, and dashed down the hall into my room.“My first kiss,” I whispered, fingers brushing my lips.I shut the door, pressing my back against it, my chest heaving.“At this rate, you could kill both of us, Scarlet,” Scar, my wolf, finally spoke.Rolling my eyes, I stepped away from the door, brushing a strand of hair behind my ear.“My heart…” I murmured, replaying the moment with Damien in my head.“Your heart beats for Damien now?” Scar teased, a mischievous smile in her voice.“You’re not scared of him anymore?” she added.“He’s still a beast,” I said, frowning. My gaze remained fixed on the door as footsteps approached.“And it doesn’t change the fact that something’s wrong.”A knock broke through my thoughts. I flinched.“Chloe,” I breathed in relief as she entered with the maids.“We’re here to help you get ready for the date,” she said.Before I could react, th

Scarlet’s POV “Damien, what are you doing?” I gasped, fear laced in my voice. My breath hitched, as my chest rose and fell with sharp urgency. But… damn it. Why do I feel so wet beneath? What’s wrong with me? I’ve never been this close to a man. Never felt this exposed…this fragile. I placed my hand on his chest, trying to create space between us. But he caught my wrists, keeping them pressed against the firmness of his chest. My palms felt the rhythmic thud of his heartbeat—strong, steady, hypnotic. His deep ocean-blue eyes locked with mine as he tilted my face up to meet his. “Can you hear it?” he whispered. Even if I hadn’t heard him, I could read the words on his soft, pink lips. They moved with such gentleness that my heart trembled. goddess apart from the fact that this man is a beast… he’s dangerous in every possible way. Everything about him lures me in. I could lose my virginity to him. Right here. Right now. But was I even ready? “Damien, please… stop t

Scarlet’s POVQuickly, he stood me up and set the plate back on the table. Clearing his throat, he gestured awkwardly.“Eat the rest,” he said. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it.”He slid his chair back into place, his composure clearly shaken.“I only wanted to help since you weren’t—”“It’s fine,” I cut in, watching the chaos flicker in his eyes. I could smell his fear from miles away.He was trembling, but why? I hadn’t asked him to come close. Yet the moment I mentioned something poking me, he panicked. His heart was racing so fast I could hear it.Was he that terrified of touching me?Could Emma have been right—was there something more to him? Or was Callan right after all? That Damien, no matter how soft he seemed now, was still a beast underneath?“Why are you staring?” he asked, voice tight, gaze darting away.Was he... shying away from me?This couldn’t be real. Just a moment ago, he was all confident. Now this?I remembered when I first entered the palace. He couldn’t stand the s
