All Chapters of Lethal Obsession: Bound To The Alpha's Curse: Chapter 141 - Chapter 147

On the day of the third trial, Scarlett felt calm. The anxiety she felt during the last two days had mysteriously vanished, leaving her feeling numb. She knew there was no turning back. She had insisted on attempting the trial, and she was almost at the end of it.If luck was on her side, or favour from the moon goddess the shifters worshipped, then she would succeed also in this last trial. That morning, she was awakened with a soft, moist feeling on her finger. She opened her eyes, and a soft smile curled her lips. Dylan had pulled one of her fingers into his mouth. He was shirtless, a pair of black trousers hanging low on his hips. The warm sensation of his tongue made her shiver. "Good morning," she whispered. "How long have you been awake?""A few hours," he murmured. "You look so beautiful when you're asleep."She chuckled and snuggled into his arms. "You were watching me sleep?"He nodded, slowly kissing the smooth curve of her neck. "I love watching you sleep."He moved h

Scarlett was in a tight spot, and she knew she had to make a decision soon.The omega kneeling before her didn't make things easier. He had his head lowered, tears streaming down his face as if he already knew he was going to die. "I can't let him die," she whispered, running a hand through her hair. "I can't let him die in my place, but if I drink the wine, I'll die, and if I back out, the entire trial will be cancelled. All my efforts will be wasted."There was no way out of it. She looked towards Dylan. He was staring straight at her, his expression unreadable. It was almost like he was expecting her to walk away and let the omega drink the wine. But she couldn't do that. She couldn't let someone die in her place, even though he was the weakest member of the pack.She shut her eyes, trying to think. Back in Eryndor, her father had taught her a lot of things, and one of them was finding loopholes. There was a loophole in every challenge of life, and there was certainly one in th

Hope hesitated for a moment before speaking. "I know it's still a little too early to be sure, but I didn't want to wait. I figured it would be better if I drew your attention to it first...""Hope, whatever it is, just say it," Dylan said impatiently, trying his best not to snap. "It's the fetus. It doesn't seem normal."Dylan brows knitted into a frown. "What do you mean?" he muttered."When I ran a checkup on her while she was unconscious, I didn't feel the slightest sign of life. Usually, when I run tests on pregnant shifters, it is easy to feel the tiniest form of life during the first week. But Scarlett is two months gone, and there is no sign of life."Dylan didn't panic. He merely brushed her concerns aside. "Maybe it's because she's a human, and not a shifter.""I don't think that's the reason," Hope shook her head. "I wouldn't tell you this if it wasn't important. I think the fetus might be lifeless."Dylan's eyes flared bright gold. A warning look flashed across his burnin

Hours later, just when the sun had started to sink into the horizon, Scarlett stepped out of the mansion. She looked breathtaking, dressed completely in gold and silk. The Moon Diamond sat around her neck perfectly, like it was made for her.Her regal gown flowed behind her in a long train, arranged occasionally by two maids who followed behind. When the maids and the guards spotted the diamond around her throat, they couldn't help but whisper amongst themselves. The legend of the Moon Diamond was well known across the realm. Only the strongest Alpha could own it, and only a worthy person could wear it. If they didn't have enough respect for Scarlett before, it tripled now. Jordan and Caleb were waiting with the carriage beside the courtyard when she stepped out. Caleb's jaw literally dropped when he spotted her. His eyes grew emotional, and he smiled. Scarlett noticed their looks and smiled shyly. "What? Do I look okay?""Is that a trick question?" Jordan chuckled. "You're abs
