Masuk"When Andromeda cursed Dylan, she didn't just end it with his bloodline." Jordan said in a bitter voice. "It went farther than that."Scarlett lowered into one of the seats and crossed her arms, her eyes pinned on him, completely attentive. "You see," Jordan continued. "Someone massacred the witches and framed Dylan. When Andromeda cursed him, apart from never finding his mate and never feeling the mate bond, he would transform into a beast every blood moon."Scarlett slowly looked away and sighed. So she was right. The day Dylan left, he didn't go on any journey. He left so he wouldn't hurt anyone when he transformed. "For many years, Dylan has lived with this curse. At first, it happened yearly. Dylan would go through immense pain, transforming into a beast no one had ever seen before. Which is why he needed you to break the curse."Jordan paused for a moment. His eyes looked raw, like he had seen something his mind couldn't fathom. "Maybe he didn't tell you because he didn't wan
In a matter of seconds, Dylan had collapsed on the floor, groaning heavily, clutching his chest as a gut-wrenching pain lanced through him. The red glow of the full moon illuminated the room fully, plunging Scarlett into a full blown panic mode. "Dylan!" she cried out, dropping to her knees beside him, her hands trembling badly. "Dylan, what's wrong? Talk to me.""Scarlett..." he bit out through clenched teeth, his voice thick with pain. "You... you have to go..." "No!" She refused. "I'm not leaving you. Tell me what's happening. What can I do? Do I get Jordan?"She tried to raise his face, but he pushed her away. An agonized groan slipped out his mouth as his body started to contort and convulse. His back expanded, bones snapping and pushing out of the flesh as he started to transform into a vicious creature of nightmare. Scarlett was frozen on her knees, her eyes wide open in horror as she watched him. Something terrible was unfolding before her eyes, and she still didn't under
Dylan slowly turned and faced her fully. A short silence passed between them for a moment, then he sighed and ran a hand over his face in exhaustion. "I need to apologize to you," he began. "For acting like such an asshole and ignoring you all day."To his surprise, Scarlett laughed. She closed the space between them, looped her hands around his neck and kissed him. His response was swift. His hands clamped hard another waist, tightly, possessively. He pulled her flush against him, fingers digging into her skin, one hand straying lower to curl around her hip. The kiss was intense, his lips locking around hers hungrily, his tongue greedily swirling with hers. He let out a deep groan, pulling her lower lip into his mouth and releasing it with a soft pop. "You have one insane hold over me," he whispered against her lips. "I don't deserve you, Scarlett.""Don't say that," she smiled, kissed him deeply again and pulled back. "Sure, you were an asshole, but in a way, I understand. I w
All through the day, Dylan stayed away from Scarlett. Not because he wanted to, but because the thought of her doing the Luna trial unsettled him. He busied himself with pack duties. He mobilized the guards, sharing them into groups of ten to make the search for the elders easier. Standing by the courtyard, he was giving the last of the instructions when Caleb hurried towards him. "Alpha, we found something," he said, his voice laced with something close to excitement. Dylan glanced at him, then dismissed the guards before turning around. "What did you find?" He murmured. "The exact location of the elders?"Caleb hesitated for a moment before shaking his head. "Not that, but something else. Hope was going through some old parchments in her home. Apparently, she was searching for new remedies she would need for her healing abilities...""Why is this relevant?" Dylan asked impatiently. "Oh, right." Caleb palmed his face. He had digressed for a moment there. "She found a parchment
The Luna trial challenge consisted of three phases. The trial of the body, the trial of the mind and the trial of the soul. Each trial was attempted on separate days, with a two-day interval in between. That morning, Scarlett sat beside Dylan in his study, listening to Jordan as he fully explained the trial to her. "Once you begin, you can't back out." He was saying. "If at any point you give up, it will be assumed that you are not capable and strong enough to rule the pack beside the Alpha."It sounded terrifying to Scarlett, but she had never been one to back out from a challenge. She exhaled softly and nodded. "I understand. You can proceed.""Wait," Dylan held up a finger to silence Jordan. He turned to Scarlett and gently squeezed her hand. "Are you really sure about this, sweetheart? I created the Luna trials for she-wolves, not humans. I don't want you doing this."Scarlett stared at him and smiled. She closed the space between them and leaned her head against his. "I know
A loud ringing sound echoed in Scarlett's ears after she heard those words. For a moment, she heard nothing else, just that persistent ringing in her head. Then everything cleared, and when her eyes refocused, Dylan was standing before her. He looked concerned. "Are you alright?" He asked softly. She glanced at Jordan, then at Caleb. They both looked worried. Seeing them staring at her with something close to pity didn't help. It only intensified the dread she felt within. "Can you give us a moment?" She asked. Jordan and Caleb exchanged glances, then Jordan nodded. "We will be right outside."Scarlett waited until they were out of the room, then she turned on Dylan. Her voice came out shaky as she spoke. "Did you marry me to cause me pain, Dylan?"Dylan's brows pulled into a frown. That wasn't what he had been expecting. "Excuse me?""Just answer the question.""How am I supposed to answer that? Why would you think I married you to cause you pain? I love you, Scarlett.""You d
When Sheba first heard that Dylan had married a human, she refused to believe it. She knew him, knew how much he despised the humans for being weak and inferior. He loathed their existence. So it came as a shock when Alpha Kingston of Red Claw pack told her Dylan had married a human and planned t
Scarlett had just rushed out of Dylan's room and was running towards the stairs when she came face to face with Helgar and Beowulf. She stopped short, almost colliding with them. "Lady Callahan." Helgar exclaimed. "Where are you off to in such a rush?"Scarlett stepped back and tried to calm her
Scarlett expected a brutal kiss. She expected a kiss that would leave her lips bruised, a punishing kiss fueled by the hate between them. But the moment Dylan's lips closed over hers, every single thought in her head evaporated. He kissed her like he had done it a million times, lips sliding over
Dylan stopped paying attention to Beowulf and Agravain the moment he saw Scarlett. Now, watching her stop to chat with Jordan, he couldn't take his eyes off her. He noticed how easily she smiled at him, as if they had always been friends. She had never smiled at him that way. Of course he didn
