Chapter 13

Being shocked was an understatement.

Leila remained in her living room, plopped down on the cold floor. The fast beating of her heart was like drumming near her ears – the only thing to which she could listen amidst the silence of the night.

She was thinking of what to do next.

Or it was rather – she couldn’t think of anything to do next, which was the exact thing that would surely define her thoughts.

“Is it true? Or am I just dreaming? Hallucinating?” She murmured before she slightly slapped her face with her hands.

It stung a bit as she bit her lower lip firmly.

‘It’s true…’

Her thoughts lingered as she felt like a candle slowly being melted by fire. She slowly laid her back on the floor – ignoring the coldness of it.

She tried to pinch herself as if she wanted to convince herself that she might be wrong – or was hoping to be wrong.

How could it possibly be… right?

But it hurt – telling her that everything she saw wasn’t just a pigment of her imagination.

    Chapter 14 *** “Master…” The man with pitch-black hair held his injured neck as he slightly bowed down to a man wearing a black mask and a cape. He was truly a mysterious man – hiding his annoyance behind his mask. “This must be good news, Viego.” The cryptic man coldly said. His voice was eerie, low, and as cold as ice – so cold that it totally made the man named Viejo, who was sweating bullets and was trembling inside because of the news that he was about to spill. The man standing shuddered in fear with his few words. He even couldn’t lift up his eyes. He swallowed hard as he gathered all his strength to speak. “W-We already found her.” He fearfully stated. No matter how much he tried to hide his fear and uneasiness – he just couldn’t. How could he be? One wrong move, and he might lose his head in an instant. Because it there was someone that he knew who was undeniably ruthless and merciless – it was the man in front of him. “And?” His master inquired as he leaned against h

    Chapter 15Leila heaved another deep sigh as she looked at Butler Henry assisting Hunter towards the woods. It’s been thirty minutes since they started walking into the depths of the woods.After what happened last night, she had fallen asleep in the cozy guest room that Butler Henry had told her to sleep – she was so exhausted that she didn’t even realize that darkness had already consumed her.She gulped her bottled water – which she must say was her last drop. She was already exhausted, but she couldn’t even voice it out. She was afraid that they would encounter some ‘rogues’ again – like what Butler Henry had told her about.Rogues were the ones who attacked her that night. She didn’t know what it was, but one thing was for sure, she knew that those were screaming danger.‘Why am I here, anyway?’ She mentally asked herself.She called her mother earlier this morning to inform her that she would be with Hunter on a trip. Her mother was so worried, but she had no choice but to allow

    Chapter 16***“Are you sure that this is, okay?” Leila shyly asked Myrtle as she looked at her through the mirror connected to the vanity table.Mrytle Blinch-Black.Now, she had already met her. She is Hector’s wife. She couldn’t believe that a kind and gorgeous woman like her could be that rude man’s wife.She scoffed mentally. However, how could she blame her anyway? Love might be truly blind, huh?“Of course, dear. I have spare clothes here for a party.” She replied merrily.Leila mentally heaved a deep sigh.It’s been two days since she arrived at the Moon Howlers Pack community. And a birthday party will be happening tonight for one of the betas of the pack – Baxon Fern – as well as Hunter’s cousin.She met him a while ago, and she might say that the man is definitely a flirt. He is oozing with the playboy air in him – which she hates the most.Leila mentally heaved a deep sigh. She was contemplating whether or not to attend the party or just stay in her room. However, she need

    Chapter 17***Leila felt her heart pounding so fast – like a horse was tailing her. She bit her lower lip as her fingers slightly trembled before they moved towards Hunter’s shoulders.However, she inaudibly gasped when Hunter placed his hands on her waist. Her cheeks turned pale pink as she looked away.“Let’s just get this done.” Hunter coldly stated.His words were rude, and they were piercing her heart, but the electrifying sensation from the warmth of his hands was creeping into her system. It was way too much – making her head go haywire – that she didn’t really care about any other thing anymore.The slow and sweet song resonated throughout the entire place.They started swaying with the music. Leila felt like she couldn’t breathe with the distance she had with Hunter.This was the very first time that she had seen him this close. His clenched jaw was making him more mysterious and charismatic. His cold demeanor was making her flinch, but in a weird way – because it was not be

    Chapter 18***“Whoa! You really are a great cook, Leila!” Myrtle commented using her fascinated and amused voice after she tasted her special freshwater fish dish called Herby Fish with Wilted Greens and Mushrooms.She was so excited to work with fresh ingredients from their garden. And the forest is also accessible, and she saw a lot of fruit-bearing trees around.Leila felt like she wouldn’t be bored because of these.Myrtle brought her to the garden a while ago. There were lots of herbs, vegetables, and fruits around. Even spices and other herbal medicines were present. She enjoyed harvesting and thinking about what she could cook using the ingredients, and now she had come up with this.It’s a good thing that Myrtle also wanted to learn. So, she enjoyed talking to her while cooking.“I am not that good at cooking yet. I am still working on it,” Leila humbly stated.“Oh, you’re so down to earth, Leila. I can’t believe that you still call this an amateur one,” Myrtle told her as sh

    Chapter 19***Leila stared at the various types of berries that were planted a few minutes’ walk away from the pack’s garden. She heard Myrtle talking about it yesterday, and she couldn’t believe that the path going there was easy to follow.Or perhaps, the pathway was already paved by the weeds and tall grass, and she had easily found her way to the magnificent place.She giddily looked around.The place was quite refreshing.She was excited to bake using the fresh berries, and she was so excited to surprise Myrtle with it.Well, Hunter’s face flashed in her mind, and she instantly blushed.Yes, she was certainly doing this for Hunter. She knew how much he loves berries, and she wanted to bake him some Mixed Berry Tarts. She saw some materials and an old-fashioned model of an oven in the house, and she wanted to use it. She was just hoping that Myrtle could let her borrow it.Leila was busy gathering the berries when she heard some sort of noise breaking the cozy silence. The birds

It might be a bad decision to make, but she was truly hurt by Hunter’s words.However, the mere fact that she saw the broken glasses, windows, and other things inside her house made her shake in fear. But she didn’t want to be a burden – more of one to him – so she must go back.So, she told Myrtle about going back to her grandparents’ house. She was hesitant at first, but Hector agreed with her decision – more of a good riddance, perhaps. She didn’t want to think about it.She must start cleaning her house, and that will eventually occupy her mind.Leila, then pouted her lips. And as her eyes darted towards the huge mansion beside hers, she instantly scoffed while rolling her eyes heavenward.She couldn’t believe what just happened in a snap.***Flashback…“I want to go back…” She calmly stated as she gave Myrtle a small and forced smile.She tried

But Butler Henry told him that it was an effective way of apologizing.And he thought that it must be an effective way since Leila had been giving her those sweet smiles again. It was a miracle that it made him at ease.However, he still couldn’t believe that Butler Henry could be this enlightening in terms of wooing a woman. Perhaps, he shouldn’t underestimate him.“I heard you cook something for Leila.” Myrtle teasingly commented as he was looking at the woman she just mentioned – who was washing the dishes now.He chuckled inaudibly as he saw her swayed her hips – as if he was dancing with her own tune. But he instantly pursed his lips and swallowed hard when he heard Myrtle chuckled.Hunter looked at her – but her face was glued to Leila, who seemed so oblivious about what was happening around. She seemed to be more focused on the dishes and must be in her very best mood.“It’s just nothing.”

Where the heck is she then? She might be in your house by now.” He seriously told Tamika – who was thinking deeply as they took a swift rest in the barn.They went to possible places – which he couldn’t believe existing. Even her small house wasn’t visible if not for her – when he was with her. He was curious and confused – but then, Leila’s whereabouts was more important for him now rather than anything he was curious of.Tamika finally stood up.“We have to go back to my house.” She said

She had her own bathroom, vanity table, and huge dresser. There was a study table just below the huge, old window. In the center of the room was a light gray and black furry, soft carpet. At the center ceiling there was a huge and profligate chandelier.This is something that she wasn’t expecting to.However, she knew why she was given this kind of treatment now.A servant omega had served her, too a while ago. She had to dismiss her for her to be able to move freely inside her room. She was not used to having someone serving her. She could do it herself.

So, all that she could do was to grit her teeth and suppress the lingering emotions that she couldn’t comprehend anymore. She pursed her lips together – as she bit her tongue.The masked man continued walking towards her. Even though she wanted to kick his *ss, she couldn’t because she was still cuffed.“Relax, Leila… You look so… tensed.” The eerie man commented insultingly.This time, she couldn’t stop herself from speaking already.“What do you want?”She was a bit shocked a

She closed her eyes again firmly – trying to gather her sane thoughts.‘What happened? Where the heck am I?’ She mentally asked herself.She felt so dizzy – as she tried collecting her own thoughts. Then, she realized that she was in Tammy’s house when someone knocked her out by making her smell something so strong before she went out of consciousness.‘That might be some sort of a drug. But why?’ Leila inquired once again, bewildered.She

But he didn’t even care. All that in his head right now was the fact that he is almost near to his goal.Finally…When a deer came in his way – he didn’t even blink as he jumped on a log and then landed at the back of the deer before jumping away and continued running.In some other time, he could have sliced it up into two and brought it into their base – but not today.Because there is more important thing that he had to do now.What a lucky deer!He couldn’t stop himself but to sneer – feeling thrilled with the fact that after how many months of unsuccessful attempts and misleading information about their target, he had finally got a chance.“Sir Viego…”The moment he reached his companions; he took an abrup
