Semua Bab Lethal Obsession: Bound To The Alpha's Curse: Bab 71 - Bab 80

"Are you really sure about this?" Scarlett asked as Dylan pulled her onto his lap. It was morning already, that tranquil and peaceful part of morning time, before the noise of the day began. Dylan was dressed to attend court with the elders. There was a meeting coming up with the alphas of some of the neighboring packs, and he wanted to finalize a few things with the elders. His hands settled on her waist, a soft smile tugging at his lips. Pure admiration glowed in his eyes as he looked at her, taking in the elegant gown that clung to her curves seductively. "You look so beautiful this morning." He murmured. "I'm almost tempted to ditch the meeting and stay in bed all day with you.""Dylan," she groaned, drawing out his name playfully. "I'm serious."He grinned and nuzzled the neckline of her gown. "Are you worried about me?""Of course I'm worried. Henry and Hailey are dangerous. Why do you want to keep them close after what you found out?""It's the only way to know who else is

Scarlett stood at the edge of the courtyard beside Dylan, waiting for the horses to be brought out. "Are we going to ride in the carriage?" She asked. Dylan raised their joined hands to his lips and kissed it before answering. "No, not the carriage. The werewolves normally hunt in their wolf forms. You'll be riding with me on my horse.""I can just ride on your back." She said. "Do we really have to take the horse?"He chuckled and lightly poked the tip of her nose. "The horse is mainly for you. Caleb or Jordan will stay with you while the rest of us hunt.""Why can't I join in the hunt?"He gave her a teasing glance. "How do you intend to shift?"She laughed and shook her head. "I know I can't shift, but I'm good with a bow and arrow. I'm a princess, remember? My father taught me a lot of things.""I'm sure he did. Considering how you came close to killing me the first time we met.""That's not true." She laughed again. "The dagger wouldn't have killed you.""True," he smiled. "Bu

It was Henry's turn to freeze. He gulped nervously, his eyes darting around, searching for what to say. An uncomfortable silence ensued between the four of them. Hailey kept her eyes averted while Scarlett looked on, waiting to see what would happen. "I asked you a question, Henry." Dylan said coldly. "How did you know about the rogues?""It was just a guess, Dylan." Henry answered with a nervous laugh. "What else would spook a powerful stallion out here in the forest?""Exactly." Hailey cut in quickly. "The elders spoke about recent rogue attacks and it's totally natural for anyone to think it was a rogue.""As for Scarlett's ankle, I see that you're carrying her." Henry continued. "Which would only mean she can't walk."Dylan didn't say another word after he finished. He didn't need to. He had his answers already. When Caleb told him a rogue was after Scarlett, he suspected the pack elders. But the five elders had been with him all through the hunt. Henry and Hailey had also bee

"What?" The words felt alien to Scarlett. She stared at her father first, then her mother, patiently waiting for them to laugh and claim it was a joke. But the serious expression on Eddard's face was unmistakable. He wasn't joking. He was dead serious. This wasn't the reunion she expected. "Father, you don't mean that." She said finally. "When I asked Dylan to let you and mother come for a visit, this wasn't what I meant.""Honey, let your father explain what he means." Katherine gently cut in. "We didn't just come to this decision randomly.""We?" Scarlett questioned. "So you're in on this too?""Scarlett, please," Katherine sighed. "Just listen to what I have to say. If you don't like it, you can voice out your opinion.""There will be no voicing out one's opinion." Eddard's deep voice cut in. "I've made my decision. You're ending the marriage between you and that Alpha.""You can't make a decision over my life." Scarlett retorted. "You don't have a right to do that.""Scarlett.

Scarlett never believed a time would come where her father would give her an ultimatum, to choose between him and Dylan. As she stood at the courtyard, watching him get into the wagon that brought them to the pack, she fought back tears. Beside her was Dylan, with his arms around her. Katherine stood on the other side, silent, unable to stop Eddard from leaving. "Father, why are you doing this?" Scarlett asked after a long silence, her voice soft and shaky. "You put me in this position in the first place.""And I'm trying to make things right." Eddard replied curtly. "I never should have given my daughter out in exchange for wealth. I'm trying to make amends...""But I don't want you to." Scarlett argued. She moved away from Dylan, limped over to the wagon and stood beside it. "I am happy here, father. Dylan makes me happy. Why isn't that enough?""You can only be happy with your own kind. What's going to happen when he wants a child? Are you really going to give me grand babies wh
