Semua Bab Lethal Obsession: Bound To The Alpha's Curse: Bab 41 - Bab 50

The day of the moon ball arrived a week later. It was 3 PM in the afternoon, and preparations were currently going on. Dylan stood on the terrace in his bedroom, his eyes thoughtful. During the past few days, he had allowed himself to drown in Scarlett's presence, forgetting that something grave lay ahead. In a few days, after the moon ball's celebration, they would experience the very first blood moon of the year. He would have to be taken to the dungeons and chained up, for his protection, and the safety of the pack. Scarlett didn't know this. She didn't need to know it. It was his curse, his burden to bear alone. A soft knock interrupted him. He turned slowly, already catching her scent. The door opened and she stepped in, looking lovely in a pretty pink dress. A sweet smile lit up her face when she saw him. "You wanted to see me.""Come here." He said, holding out a hand. Shutting the door behind her, she walked up to where he stood and placed her hand on his. He pulled

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 to use her to break his curse. But what curse? She had been with him for several years, back when she thought he would make her his Luna before he suddenly cut her off, yet she knew nothing about a curse. That was why, when Kingston asked her to go with him to the moon ball, she readily agreed. She wanted to see Dylan again, find out what the curse was, and get a good look at the human girl. She didn't expect the girl to be so beautiful. For the very first time in her life, she saw someone whose beauty surpassed hers, and it infuriated her. She raked her gaze over Scarlett and sneered. "So this is your bride? This is who you left me for? You could have done better, Dylan.""Luna Sheba," D

Over the next few days, Dylan stayed away from Scarlett. He gave her the space she wanted and stopped her from attending court. As for Scarlett, she refused to feel guilty for her actions. She had every right to be upset, especially when she noticed he was hiding a lot of secrets from her. As Tabitha helped her into a dress one morning, she couldn't contain her curiosity. "Tabi, do you know about Dylan's curse?"Tabitha's hand froze mid-air. She lowered her eyes quickly and backed away.Scarlett whirled around in surprise. "What's wrong?""We are not allowed to talk about that, My Lady."This only deepened Scarlett's suspicion. "How bad is it that no one will tell me about it?""I am sorry, My Lady, but I really can't. I can't risk committing treason, not when I have a sick mother.""Oh, that's so right." Scarlett murmured. "I forgot about that. How is she?""Not good. I'm doing all I can to take care of her.""Can I pay her a visit?""No!" Tabitha refused immediately. She lowered

"Who sent you?"Balthazar screamed from the pain burning through his shoulder, but he ignored the question. His eyes seeked out Scarlett who was standing behind Dylan, and he snarled. The friendly aura he had minutes ago was gone, replaced by a calculated rage. "You were lucky this time, human." He seethed viciously. "Next time you won't be."Dylan's eyes flashed pure red. He slashed his claws across Balthazar's face and kicked him in the face. Balthazar crashed to the ground, blood spraying from his lips. "Jordan, take him to the dungeon. I want him tortured until he confesses.""Yes, Alpha." Jordan nodded. But as he leaned down to grab Balthazar, the latter pulled out a grey pill from the pockets of his robes. "Stop him!" Dylan yelled, but it was too late. Balthazar threw the pill into his mouth and bit down on it, then grinned maniacally. "More of them will come for her, Alpha Dylan. This is just the beginning." The moment he said those words, he started to foam in the mou

Dylan stood at the foot of the enormous cave deep inside the forest. Memories of the nights he had spent there in pain and anguish tried to surface in his mind, but he pushed them away. He exhaled deeply and stepped inside, with Caleb and half a dozen guards following behind him. They held heavy, silver chains, thick as tree trunks, so heavy that they had to strain as they dragged along the ground. Their hands were covered in leather black gloves to protect them from getting burned by the silver. They dragged the chains into the deepest part of the cage and anchored it on the wall while Dylan stood there silently.Once night fell, the blood moon would appear in the sky. He would have to be held down behind those silver chains all night, for as long as the blood moon appeared. He still had scars from the past years, scars on his arms and chest from being burned for hours by silver, enduring the pain to keep his beast contained. When the guards finished, they turned around and bo
