Leila Mercado is a funny, sweet, innocent and lovely lady home baker who just wanted to be independent. On her eighteenth birthday, her wish was granted to live independently in a house she inherited from her grandmother. She baked chocolate chip cookies for her new neighbors, most especially for the owner of the mansion beside her small bungalow house – Hunter Black. But she was offended when he just gave her baked cookies to his gardener without even saying a simple thank you to her! She was so mad and determined to know who that cold, snob and mysterious neighbor was! But her stubborn heart was mesmerized by Hunter – that it kept beating like crazy whenever he’s around. A big ‘no’ for her! One day, her stepfather tried to violate her, but a huge wolf appeared to rescue her! She tried to follow the wolf – thinking that it was a hybrid enormous wolf and found out that it went to the Mansion’s backyard. Did Hunter own the wolf? She wanted one, too!

Even though she knew that her wound was a bit deep and there was a lot of blood.“Don’t worry, this is just a small cut.” Tamika explained without any trace of emotion at all!Leila pursed her lips together – as she went towards her.“Just a small cut?! Look at your hand!” She uttered in pure disbelief.However, before she could even get closer to her – her feet stopped.She inwardly shook her head.‘No… I shouldn’t trust her… Not yet… Or simply…

Thank you.***“What do you mean by that?” The man wearing a mask, their master, inquired Viego – as he was standing in front of him.He was trying to explain his men’s report to their mater – especially right now that he wanted them to find Leila and finally capture her.Viego swallowed the lump in his throat before looking at their masted – who seemed to be all ear for his news.“We can’t find anything about what happened to Miss L-Leila, M-Master.” He replied nervously.Their master groaned disappointedly.“And the Moon Howlers Pack?” Their master inquired coldly – as if he was waiting for good news for them and would instantly have his head if that happened.Viego let out an inaudible sigh.“We are sure that they also didn’t know where Miss Leila i-is, Master. It was as if she vanishe
Chapter 72Unanswered***“Who are you?”Regardless of how dry her throat was – and how her senses mess up with her, because an unknown and strange woman appeared in front of her, she managed to utter those words.And Leila wanted to clap at herself for that.Especially when it came as coldly and as bravely as she thought it could be.However, the woman’s expression didn’t change – even a bit – as she asked her that question.It was as if she was just looking at a mere object that she had seen her like forever.She was certainly – no, totally – weird.Then, in a matter of a few more seconds, she felt her body become weaker and weaker – making her swallow hard.“You are still weak. That’s understandable. You have fought death – you have to eat.” That was her answer instead.That made her forehead creased a bit more.It was as if she didn’t mind her words. It was as if she had her own world to deal with. And that she was just there for her to take care of.Well, that was what her guts w

Thank you.***“Leila!”Someone was calling her name.She looked around – hoping to see who it was.Even though Leila had already a hunch about who it was.“Leila…”There it was again. And it was getting louder and louder. This time, she was sure.She could hear her father calling her name.“D-Dad…” She wanted to say out loud – but she couldn’t.Her lips seemed to be glued together – as if she couldn’t say anything even if she wanted to.“Leila!”There was it… again. For the nth time – she closed her eyes firmly.Then, she heard a loud and eerie growling sound – echoing in the depths of the forest.Leila shivered down her spine. Her legs started to tremble – as she felt palms turning cold. Bullet of sweat started to gather in her forehead – as she tried looking around for her father.She
Chapter 70Blood***‘Leila… don’t give up…’Those words echoed in Leila’s ears – and it was all familiar to her.That voice…‘Leila… open your eyes…’And it was calling her – as if trying to make her conscious.Even amidst the darkness, she wanted to open her eyes, but she couldn’t. It was as if there were heavy sacks that were on her eyelids that she couldn’t lift up.‘You can do it, Leila… Don’t give up…’It was Silver’s voice.And Leila knew that she still has someone with her. Even after everything that happened – she still has Silver, her inner wolf.However, no matter how much she tried to open her eyes – she couldn’t.She could feel the poison slowly creeping into her veins.Leila might not be a quitter. She had never been. She thought of her father – and her eyes instantly moistened with tears.‘My poor father…’ She mentally thought.However, even though she was still mourning for her father – she couldn’t stop thinking that she still has her mother and Darcel. She still has
Chapter 69Truth***The darkness of the depths of the woods wouldn’t be a hindrance for Hunter and his comrades in finding Leila.Owls started to hoot – echoing the entire forest, making it creepier, but no one even shivered at the thought of it.Every single one of them knew what they came into.Danger might come anytime – especially at this kind of place.And every single one of them were ready for anything – even for a sudden battle that could resurface anytime.But even amidst everything, Hunter’s mind was still in chaos – as he, Hector, and some hunters and sentinel wolves were looking for Leila as they were still trying to find Leila in the middle of the dark forest where he last saw her.He couldn’t believe what he had just heard from his parents a while ago. And he was in between getting at ease and worry – as memories of what they talked about, back in the Black Mansion played inside his mind.*** Flashback…“And we are also telling the truth, Son…” Hera Black, his mother, s
Chapter 68Believe***‘What the heck happened?’ Hunter couldn’t stop asking – as his concern rocketed to the moon. He tried looking around – hoping to see anything… any clue that could help him to find Leila.But to no avail.He couldn’t find anything – until he was already exhausted and unable to think clearly. But he had to. He had to find Leila. But how?Hunter let out a loud growl – hoping that it could reach Leila. He was feeling so hopeless – but he had to stay strong. He wouldn’t lose her – definitely not this way.He still has to find some ways – a lot more ways for her. And giving up was not part of it.For the second and third time, he let out a louder growl – hoping and even thinking that it might make him think rationally. He was panting so hard – as he looked around for the nth time.There was still no sign of Leila. He looked above – as his black snout tried to sniff her in the air, hoping that there might still be her scent left into the cold breeze… But there was none
Chapter 67Blood***“Where the heck are you going?!” Hector asked him, annoyed.He even tried to block his way.It was as if he was trying to stop him from coming after Leila.“Hector…” Myrtle’s voice was trying to stop Hector from being so rude at him.Then, she looked at them with pure concern.Hector gritted his teeth – as if he was just trying to contain himself.Well, he was, either.He was trying to contain the various emotions that kept on swirling up his entire system.But Hunter was as stubborn as a mule. He ignored him as he walked past their parents – who were still looking blankly, as if they were trying to process everything.“I will get back… And when I do, I want some answers…” He stated – using his coldest and most dangerous tone of voice.Hector’s forehead creased.“You can’t-”But their father, Hudson, simply raised his right hand in the air – as if stopping the both of them.And then, he looked at him seriously.“Be careful… We will wait for you.” He simply replied
Chapter 65Furious***Leila felt her entire body tremble in both pain and anger.She was in the middle of processing everything that she found out – and it seemed like her body couldn’t take the shock any longer. She didn’t know how long she had been staying there.And she didn’t know how long she could still stay there.At least she had to find somewhere she could stay in.However, her body just wouldn’t move and allow her to go and find herself with a decent place to take a rest with.Her mind was still in a race to think about what she had to do next. Even planning her revenge. And processing her every emotion – that was lingering in her heart.But her body was already too tired to even take it all in.She had to take a break. She had to stop and let her body rest.However, she couldn’t.No matter how much she tried, she couldn’t.Her memories were playing inside her head like a broken stereo. And it was making her body – particularly her heart – stay in pain and anger.She clench
Chapter 1 *** Leila thanked the taxi driver as she stepped out of the car with her one huge black luggage and a medium-sized black and gray traveling bag waiting at her side. The driver closed the door of the car, just humbly smiled at her, then drove away after she had paid a few bucks. She stretched her limbs to at least ease her outstretched arms from the long drive. She was oblivious to the things around her as she stared at the small bungalow house she inherited from her loving grandparents from his father’s side, Emilio and Josefa Mercado. Her mind was clouded with flashing memories she had with her loving late grandmother, who would run towards where she was the moment she had stepped out of their car, while her late grandfather would just smile – while watching them. Good old days. That was what she was thinking while looking at the old house. It was a single-story house with a slope roof that was made of concrete, glass, and bricks – and the colors were mixed of gray an...
