Chapter 29Wolf***‘I am a werewolf?’ It was all that was inside Leila’s mind – as she requested to be alone for the time being.She wanted time for herself. She wanted to think about it. 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
Chapter 30Accept***A loud knock on her door, made her wiped her teary face.But she was a bit surprised to feel that her tears were already dried. 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
Chapter 31Process***“What the heck happened with the food?” Hector commented – with his forehead creased, the very moment he entered the dining area.There were some fried fish, sauteed mixed vegetables, and fried pork meat on the table.However, all of them couldn’t blame Hector for his shocked expression because the food seemed to be burned.Leila bit her lower lip – as she tried to stop herself from smiling. 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,
Chapter 32On Guard***Leila moved from side to side – then, rolling while inside her comforter.She couldn’t sleep that night – no matter what she does. Perhaps, it was because she knew that tomorrow – she would face the process that Hunter was telling her a while ago. And it was making her so anxious.There were a lot of things that were running inside her mind – keeping her awake.It was bugging her mind – that she couldn’t sleep a wink.She let out a deep sigh – as she looked at the clock on her bed side table.It was already past midnight.She was still in the process of accepting that she was now a werewolf – and now, this. She had to undergo into the process – to prove herself that she could be a werewolf. She had to know how werewolves were.“Are you okay?” Silver asked all of a sudden.She was already lying in her bed – when she couldn’t fell asleep. She let out a deep sigh and got up from her bed instead.“I can’t sleep. The process that will happen tomorrow. It is just… It
Chapter 33Challenge Accepted***Leila swallowed hard – as she entered the huge and dark hall.The only thing that was giving light to the entire place was the fire on the torches hanging on the wall. However, it wasn’t enough for her to see whoever that was inside. The silence of the place wasn’t helping her at all. She was just too nervous.Not to mention that Hunter was also too serious and silent.If we were in different circumstances, perhaps she could simply tease him about it – but it wasn’t the case.She couldn’t even breath properly.It was as if everything was just too calculated.Maybe if Myrtle was here – she could at least have something that she could ask to.However, she wasn’t allowed to come here.Only Hunter was allowed to – and she didn’t know why.“Do you know why you are here?” A loud booming sound of an old man resonated in the entire place – the very moment they stopped walking.Her eyes widened in shock.“Oh, my goodness! What the-”Leila instantly covered her
Chapter 34Secret***“What is going on?” Hunter instantly fired his grandfather that question – the moment they went out of the hall.The very moment Leila said those words a while ago – he was being edgy to ask that to his grandfather.“Is that even possible?” He added – as his grandfather seemed to be lost in his deep thoughts.Then, he let out a deep breath.“Let’s not talk here.” His grandfather replied seriously – causing him to swallow hard.Hunter looked at the closed door – unsure of what to do.However, his grandfather grinned at him – causing him to scoff at him a bit.Then, he let out a deep sigh.“Where are we going then?” He inquired – trying to divert their conversation.However, his grandfather’s mischievous grin didn’t wipe away his lips.They walked to his study. It was the safest place. And it was a good thing that Hector or Myrtle wasn’t around. He wouldn’t want to explain anything to them right now. Besides, this was better. He could at least talk to his grandfath
Chapter 35 Behind Closed Doors***“What are you doing? Bring her back inside now…”Hunter was about to get Leila out of the hall, when Elder Howard suddenly appeared in front of him.He swallowed hard and walked back inside the hall.“But she fainted…” He worriedly stated.Elder Howard let out a deep sigh. It was as if he was trying to lengthen his patience for the both of them.“Bobson will be here soon. I will call him. For now, we can’t let her out of here. So, stay with her and make sure to be discreet about it. I will ask Henry to be here instead of you. No one should know about this.” Elder Howard said in haste.He pursed his lips together.This time, his mind was slightly cleared – as he realized that his grandfather was right.It would be very dangerous for Leila to be discovered – even for the members of the pack.They must act discreetly.He looked at Leila.She looked so peaceful – but her hands were cold, and she was already trembling.This time, he couldn’t stop the wor
Chapter 36Take Over***The moment the door was closed, Leila felt so hopeless.Darkness filled the entire room. Silence became a bit eerier than usual. She felt as if something was stirring inside her – but it wasn’t her wolf. It was the hope that was slowly waning in front of her.For a moment, she wanted to run away. She wanted to stop and escape this. She thought that it was easier than being in this kind of situation.However, that doesn’t work that way.She had to face this.This is her challenge.But then, Leila didn’t know what to do. And she couldn’t find someone who could help her. Not even Silver – which she thought would help her and support her in this kind of situation.She let out a deep sigh.The lit torches on the wall – seemed to be waving at her. It was the only thing in the room. And they were the only ones who was giving her some light – even to the point that she thought those were the only ones cheering for her not to give up.She swallowed the lump in her thro
