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

    Chapter 20***Leila heaved a deep sigh as she walked towards her kitchen.After what happened, she decided to go back to her old house. 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

    Chapter 21Visitor***Hunter didn’t know how the heck did he found those cheesy antics. 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.”

    Chapter 22Friend***Leila was just so flabbergasted as she saw Duncan in front of her grandparents’ house.“What are you doing here?” She managed to ask him.But Duncan’s hug became a bit tighter – as he shook his head.“I am just so happy to see you, Leila. My God, I am very worried.” He said – full of concern.Then, he broke his embrace and held her both shoulders. His light brown eyes reflected worry as he looked at her from head to toe – as if he was trying to check whether she was really alright or not.Leila chuckled to lighten up the mood.But a warm and big hand pulled my arm – causing me to step away from Duncan. My eyes widened as I saw Hunter’s dark expression as he looked at Duncan.She swallowed hard – as her lips slightly ajar. Her eyes moved from Duncan’s now serious expression, then Hunter’s cold and annoyed face.“Uh, I am fine. Why are you here, anyway?” Leila inquired curiously.But the two seemed like they didn’t hear what she just said.“Who are you?” The two as

    Chapter 23Blood***Leila was torn between the two. Her widened eyes looked from one to the other – until she could no longer hold the tension between them. She pulled her arms away from them.Hunter glared at her while Duncan let out a deep sigh as he gave her a short glance.“What is wrong with you two?” Leila asked curiously – as she folded her arms in front of her chest.She wasn’t annoyed – but she was purely intrigued and bewildered. She couldn’t understand the sudden animosity between them – when they had just met.“I think, your neighbor likes to talk to you. I will just be outside, Leila.” Duncan suddenly stated – and went out of the house before she could say more.Leila let out a deep sigh as her lips parted because of what happened. Then, she faced Hunter.“What is your problem?” She asked him seriously.To be honest, she was totally unaware of the reason for his irritation. Prior to their journey back here, he was fine. He even watched me while I prepared the ingredients

    Chapter 24Cure***Hunter heard the loud and eerie growling sound from a distance. His eyes widened as he dashed out of the house. He almost bumped into Duncan, who was going inside the house.“Where the hell is Leila?” Hunter inquired critically.But based on Duncan’s expression, he seemed so oblivious as to what he was asking him.“What do you mean? I didn’t see her. I am-”Hunter didn’t wait for his words to finish and immediately ran to the woods where he heard the loud growl.“Look around! Haven’t you seen Leila?” He promptly inquired about the hunters around, but they simply shook their heads.Damn it!‘I should have known!’ Hunter thought to himself.His heart was beating so loudly inside him because he knew… He could identify that kind of growl. It came from a rogue.“Damn it!” Hunter murmured as he smelled the rogues around.He knew right there and then that rogues were truly around the area.‘I shouldn’t have not asked her to come here. It is not yet safe for her! Damn it!’

    Chapter 27Awake***Hunter woke up that day – with his head throbbing in pain.He was in his own room – and he was half naked. He was oblivious – and he couldn’t think rationally right now. All that he could think of was the fact that his head seemed to be cracking in half.“F*cking headache…” He cursed under his breath.The light coming from the sun was already sneaking to him from his curtain. It was a cold morning – as the sun was covered with grayish clouds. It seemed like it would soon rain.He let out a deep sigh.‘What happened?’ He asked himself – bewildered, as he got up from his bed and leaned against the headboard.He held his pulsating temple – as he tried to remember what happened. He felt so weak, too. It was as if he had been into an intense training. And yet, he couldn’t even remember anything – as if his mind was too exhausted to do its job and just decided to stop working for a moment.Hunter groaned in frustration.He didn’t want this kind of thing. He hated that h

Maybe we can talk to him tomorrow.” Mrs. Black told her – as they sat on the single couches.She sat across from her while Mr. Black sat on the other side.Mr. Black rested his elbows in the armrest – as he intertwined his fingers right in front of his chest.
