Chapter 32

On 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

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

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

And she couldn’t find someone who could help 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

She almost fell because her vision spun.And it was because of the fact that Hunter’s hawklike eyes were intently looking at her. That made her shocked.She swallowed the lump in her throat – as she felt Hunter’s strong arms wrapped into her. She didn’t know whether it was a good thing that his reflexes were quick – causing her not to fall from the cold floor.Her cheeks instantly blushed when their eyes met.

You are so out of focus.” Hunter commented harshly – causing her to be taken aback.It seemed like what she had been thinking was leading her to a painful way.She couldn’t believe that she was slowly being eaten by jealousy and agony inside her. It was as if for the first time in her life, she wanted to have the courage to let Hunter see how vulnerable she was right now.His harsh words were just too painful to accept.

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

His pink tongue was dancing with the cold breeze – but it was sure that he was a reflection of success and giddiness.His grayish fur was glistening with the ray of light kissing it. 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

It was excruciatingly painful. It was something that he was silently hoping to be just a dream… a nightmare.But it wasn’t.He knew that it wasn’t the case.This is real.A painful reality.He swallowed the lump in his throat – as he tried to calm himself. He came in the South – quietly hoping to find Leila. At least to make sure that she is unharmed… by any means.

Be careful!” A familiar voice agitatedly told her – as he sat on the bed, as if he was trying to hold her arm.But Leila – acted on instinct – instantly got herself steady and moved slightly away from Hunter.Her forehead creased – as she was trying to recall what happened to her.She looked around – and remembered that she was still in the barn… And with Hunter!Leila let out a loud curse inside her head – as she tried to maintain her cool.For a moment, she lost her calm demeanor. For a moment, she had broken her wall. For a moment, she almost did something that she might regret in the future.She looked at Hunter’s worried expression – and she almost got lost once again.

However, even though she wanted to follow her heart, she could ignore the fact that seeing Hunter’s parents could remind her of the pain… The pain of losing her own father. The reason why her family was ruined.And it was like adding salt to the wound – that fate wanted them to see each other again.She didn’t even know how the heck did Hunter found them in the deepest part of the South.
