Chapter 140 The Way He Spoils Her

Laila’s POV:

“Wow, big spender.” Nita whistled in my mind. “If only that damn curse didn’t exist.”

I didn’t respond.

I just led Samuel through Silvermoon Pack’s market, turning at the end of the cobblestone street into the old restaurant I’d been eating at since I was a pup.

Moon Shadow House.

The carved wolf head over the door had been worn smooth by years of hands brushing past it. The young Omega lighting the lanterns spotted me, and his ears went straight up.

I picked a table by the window.

After sitting down, I flipped open the menu and looked up at him.

“Your Highness-can you do deer blood? Or do you prefer wild fowl?”

He sat with his back perfectly straight, looking as serious as if he were planning a siege.

“Deer blood. The rawer the better.”

I couldn’t help but laugh.

“What about the smoked kind? We do one marinated in juniper berries.”

“That’s fine.”

“They brush it with lingonberry glaze while it’s roasting.”

“Fine.”

I raised a brow and deliberately dragged out my words.

“And what if … I load the soup with horseradish?”

He hesitated.

His Adam’s apple bobbed once.

“…Still fine.”

Nita burst out laughing in my mind.

“He clearly can’t handle spice. Did you see that do-or-die look on his face just now?”

Of course, I saw it.

But he hadn’t said he couldn’t eat it-

He was clearly trying to get used to my palate.

1 didn’t call him out.

“Three dishes are plenty for two people.” I glanced back at the menu. “I like bold flavors, so let’s make all three spicy. Sound good?”

“Three isn’t nearly enough.” He frowned like I’d suggested something outrageous. “Let’s order eight.”

I snorted a laugh.

“We can’t finish that. It’s wasteful.”

“We can.” His tone left no room for debate. “I skipped breakfast. I was planning to eat properly at Estelle’s banquet but that didn’t happen. I’m not about to cheat my own stomach.”

“Fine.”

I smiled and ended up ordering eight dishes-three were Silvermoon Pack’s own smoked and braised specialties, and the other five were all drenched in a thick, reddish-brown sauce of horseradish and juniper.

When I handed him the menu, he took it with ceremony, reading each line like he was inspecting troops.

Then, he looked up and nodded.

“Settled.”

While we waited for the food, I thought of Morgana blurting out the news about Samuel and me in front of the entire room-and the look of pure regret on her face afterward. I couldn’t help laughing.

“It’s strange, actually. That day at my place, Morgana was so aggressive that she looked ready to

eat me alive. But just now, in front of Estelle, she was meek as a pup-shaking with rage but too scared to say a word back. Just stood there glaring.”

Samuel’s long fingers closed around the rim of his cup.

“Estelle is my father’s favorite sister. When Morgana was little … Estelle gave her a very hard time. My father never once took Morgana’s side.”

He paused.

“Estelle has spent her whole life getting everything she ever wanted. The only time she ever stumbled-”

He looked at me.

-was with your father.”

“No matter how she flattered him, how she tried to tempt him, General Conlay never wavered. So, she hates the Conlays. That hatred has been buried for over twenty years, and it’s never faded.”

I lowered my eyes.

“But love can’t be forced. Besides, my parents were fated mates witnessed by the Moon Goddess. Her pursuit was doomed from the start.”

“Yes.”

He lifted the corner of his mouth slightly.

Candlelight flickered in his eyes, like stars suddenly lighting up in the dark.

My heartbeat skipped without warning.

In my mind, Nita’s voice crashed down like a bucket of ice-cold spring water.

“Focus, Laila! Don’t forget his curse.” Her tail pulled taut in a rigid arc of warning. “You can’t just run off and let him mark you on impulse-or I’ll die!”
