All Chapters of Lethal Obsession: Bound To The Alpha's Curse: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Dylan lay quietly on the ground, his wolf form blending stealthily with the grasses around him. Scattered behind him were the hunters, also in their wolf forms, crouching low as they stalked a herd of stags grazing a few meters away. Their horns stood out prominently, and once in a while, one would lift its head and scan the surrounding for danger. But even at that, they didn't sense Dylan's presence. [What's your command, Alpha?] The stand-in gamma, Kenny, asked through the mind link. [There are about a dozen of them, so we are a little outnumbered.] Dylan replied. [Spread out slowly and surround them. One hunter to one stag. The moon ball is fast approaching and there will be no hunting until after.][Yes, Alpha.] Kenny replied, then relayed the instructions to the rest of the hunters. It was done swiftly, with complete stealth that the herd didn't notice the impending danger until it was too late. [NOW!] Dylan gave the command. In a flash, seven enormous wolves lunged, claws

Dylan had always been bad at consoling a person who was hurting. Born and bred under intense training and cold brutality, he never showed emotion. He saw it as being weak, and he despised weakness. But Scarlett's sobs got to him, twisted into his heart like he had been stabbed, and punched a hole in his guts. Never in his life did he think a woman's cry would tug at his heart. Following his instincts, he pulled her closer and cradled her head. Her body shook with broken sobs, and he could feel her tears soaking into his shirt. "This isn't fair." She whimpered. "You have me trapped here with no protection... I could have died today... it's not fair..."She buried her face in his chest as she cried louder and complained about how she hated being married to him because it seemed she was on a leash with no freedom while her life was constantly at risk. While she vented out her sadness and frustration, Dylan didn't say a word. He let her vent, knowing she needed to do it to feel bette

Dylan's first reaction was to push her away. Not because he didn't want to kiss her, but because he was astonished. Scarlett would never make the first move to kiss him. He gently held her shoulders and moved her away, his eyes wide open. "What are you doing?"Scarlett, on the other hand, was shocked at what she did. She scooted backwards, swung her legs over the bed and got up. An embarrassed blush had stained her cheeks. "I'm sorry." She murmured in a shaky voice. "I–I shouldn't have done that. I don't know what came over me."Dylan got out of the bed and moved towards her, but she held out her hands to stop him. "No, stop. Don't... don't come close. I need a minute."He paused and waited while every nerve in his body screamed at him to go to her."Scarlett..." He tried again, but she shook her head. "I'm sorry...""Stop apologizing." He snapped impatiently. "You did nothing wrong and it annoys me when you keep apologizing that way.""I shouldn't have kissed you." She retorted

"I can't believe I let you do that."Scarlett lay curled beside Dylan, still naked, the blankets twisted around her legs. She looked flushed, and there was a rosy glow on her cheeks. Dylan slowly lifted his head to get a better look at her face. "Are you regretting it?"She went silent for a few seconds, mulling over his question. Then she looked at him. "If I said I was regretting it, I'd be lying."His lips twitched as he held back a smug smile. "So you enjoyed it." It wasn't a question, but she nodded all the same. He adjusted on the bed and gestured at her to scoot closer. "Come here. Lie on me."She smiled and moved closer, placing her head on his chest while her right arm wrapped snugly around his torso. He cradled her close, like she belonged there. He grabbed her thigh and placed it over him, his hand reaching behind to squeeze her bum. His other hand played with her hair. "Much better." He murmured. "I like the feel of your body against me."Cuddling up with him was

"Where are we going?" Scarlett asked as she ran to keep up with Dylan's long strides. He noticed and slowed down a bit. "You'll see it when we get there."She paused suddenly and pulled her hand out of his grip. "If it's the waterfall, I don't want to go. I don't ever want to go there."He noticed the fear in her eyes. The incident that happened had completely traumatized her. Walking back to her, he slipped his hands around her waist and nuzzled her neck. "We're not going to the waterfall, I promise." He murmured. "You're safe with me. I won't let anyone hurt you."She leaned into him and sighed. Even standing outside the pack terrified her, but she trusted him to protect her. So she nodded and tried to smile. "Alright. Let's go."He pressed a soft kiss on her shoulder and took her hand again. After walking for about two minutes, he stopped at the edge of an enormous tree outside the pack and released her hand. "What exactly are we doing?"He smiled and slowly backed away. "We'
