Chapter 23

Blood

***

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

It was as if every part of her was already too throbbing that she couldn’t even lift her own fingers. It was also so difficult for her to breath.“Leila…” She could recognize Myrtle’s voice calling her name.However, her mouth was dry – as she opened her lips and say something. But she couldn’t utter a single word. She was still oblivious as to what was happening around her.But she tried so hard to fight her own pain.‘I can do it. I can do it…’ It was like a mantra inside her head.“Butler Henry, kindly call Hunter and Uncle Bob…” Myrtle ordered the good butler – who instantly obeyed her order.Then, she looked at her. That was the least that she could do now. She opened her mouth – as she breath using it.“Water?” She asked kindly – and all that she could do was to nod her head as an answer.Even doing that, Leila felt to be too painfully difficult.Myrtle helped her she put some wate

She wanted to process everything to herself.***“This is the only way, Leila. I hope you understand. Hunter bite you and perform a ritual – for you to become like us. The wolf you met is your inner wolf. This… This is the only way to save you.”***Those words kept on playing inside her head like a broken stereo.Then, her tears fell – like a waterfall descending endlessly from her eyes.Leila bent her knees – before putting her arms above her knees and buried her face in it.She cried like there was no tomorrow. She couldn’t believe that from now on, she couldn’t get back to her old self anymore. That she had to face the fact that she was now a werewolf.What about her mother? And Darcel? What will happen to her now?She didn’t know.Her mind was confused – and in chaos.She didn’t know how to dea

Perhaps, she had already lost track of how long she had been sitting on the wooden floor.Leila instantly stood up and sat down on her bed lazily.She was torn between letting whoever that was inside her or not.“Who’s that?” She asked – hoping that it was someone whom she could talk to.And she was grateful that it was Myrtle – as she declared that it was her.“Come in…” Her voice was hoarse as she said those words.Maybe because of her crying too much. Her voice was now a bit creepy to hear. She let out a deep sigh.She looked at the door and saw Myrtle went inside her room.Her forehead creased as her nose suddenly crinkled.She could smell Myrt

Then, she tried to hide herself a bit afar – as she leaned against the wall.Myrtle, on the other hand, instantly elbowed her husband – causing the latter to look at her with confusion laced in his face.“Stop it…” Myrtle tried to warn her husband by glaring at him.But Hector just wouldn’t stop.Hunter was already looking away – with his face turning beet red.“What? I am just pointing it out. Does the servant omegas helped you? Did you get burn? Damn! I should have known. Don’t do kitchen works anymore and-”Then, Hector’s eyes went to Leila.“H-Hey… Are you okay now? Uhm,
