Chapter 39Train***Three days passed and Leila discovered that pretending that she almost failed the challenge seemed to do good to her.No one bothered her.Besides, only the Blacks knew about what truly happened.However, this was her first day of training.Hunter’s grandfather asked Hector, Hunter, and Myrtle to guide her.Well, it was a great thing to know that she could be assisted by them.However, thinking about it – it seemed like she couldn’t be at peace if she and Hunter were the only ones around.And it looked like Myrtle noticed it, too.“I can go with the two of you…” She suggested kindly.Leila smiled inwardly – and gave her a grateful look.But then, the two men immediately shook their heads at her.“No.” Hector quickly contradicted.“You are not in condition to do that, Myrtle.” Hunter also said – with concern laced in his voice.Leila swallowed hard – as she looked at the three. Then, her eyes moved to Hunter. Her forehead creased – as she also remembered something.
Chapter 40New***“Can you just smile and extend your patience at me?”For the nth time, Leila said – like a slip of the tongue.“Can you just focus on your training?” Hunter retorted back – as he leaned on the huge tree near him.Her left brow shot upwards.“If I have shifted to my inner wolf – would you smiled for me?” Leila smilingly inquired.There was hint of friskiness in her voice.Hunter swallowed hard and let out a deep sigh.“That might be the reason why your inner wolf wouldn’t come out. 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. And it was rooting deeply inside her chest. Leila didn’t know what els
Chapter 41In Love***“What the hell!” Hunter uttered in furious way.Leila let out a deep sigh.“If there was nothing else to say, I will go now.” Leila said weakly – before turning her back at them.However, before she could even take a single step – a warm and huge hand already stopped her.Volts of electricity instantly attacked her senses – causing her to swallow hard.“Where do you think you’re going?” Hunter snapped at her – causing her forehead to crease.Her mouth slightly dropped – when she heard him say those words. Even though his eyes were directed to where his brother was, Leila could sense the emerging tension in the air.“Answer me, Hector. What is the meaning of that? I am Leila’s training partner.” Hunter said those words – dripping with annoyance and possessiveness.Her breathing hitched.She couldn’t believe that she could sense possessiveness in the way Hunter says those words.Or was she just hallucinating?Yes.There could be no way that Hunter would say those
Chapter 42Raw***Hunter didn’t know how long he had been standing in front of Leila’s door.All that he could think of was the fact that Leila’s words were still spinning inside his head.***“I love you, Hunter…”***Those words kept on running in his head – and it was clouding his mind right at that very moment.He couldn’t stop the happiness that was warming his heart. And it made him smile – then, he licked his lips. But then, the smile pasted on his lips was still visible. He couldn’t stop the fact that it was tickling his heart.“Damn it!” He murmured under his breath – as he ran his palm on his face.However, Leila’s next words resonated in his head.***“I love you, Hunter… But I think this is g-goodbye… Please don’t be my training partner anymore. For our goodness’ sake…”***But then, those words didn’t let his smile fade.“Let’s see… Leila… Let’s see…” Those were the only words that he could say – as he instantly mapped his plans inside his head.***“Darn it, Leila Merca
Chapter 43Caught***Content Warning: This chapter is slightly not suitable for very young readers. Read at your own risk.***Leila pursed her lips – as she smelled his addicting scent.Her eyes turned into a darker shade – and so, she tried so hard to push Hunter away from her. But she almost pulled her hands away when she felt the electrifying sensation that was rushing in her veins.Damn it!Even Silver could feel the tension inside her – causing her to groan in frustration.However, she was being clouded with so many emotions that she couldn’t comprehend now.And it was all because of Hunter!She closed her hands into balled fists – as she tried to stop herself from trembling. Her legs were also wobbling – as she tried so hard to create some distance between them.Leila swallowed hard.Especially when she felt Hunter held her hands.Her breathing became heavier – as she stared at him direct into his eyes.However, she felt like she was melting under his gaze – and she wanted to
Chapter 44Talk***Leila didn’t know how many times Hunter tried to call her from the other side of the door – but she couldn’t find the courage to face him.It slowly dawned on her.Hunter kissed her!Why?Why does he have to do that?‘Don’t be such a hypocrite! As if you didn’t enjoy every bit of it!’ A part of her mind naughtily commented – which made her groan.Leila let out a deep sigh.She didn’t want to feel such confusion. However, she couldn’t ignore the fact that she was becoming a bit scared. Everything about love and relationship was just… new to her.And she didn’t know how to respond.However, she knew that sooner or later she had to face it.She had to face Hunter.It was as if she was back in square one – but this time, she had to face her feelings, too. She thought that she had already fixed her mind to moving on – but the heck! Everything was a mess again.And it was because of Hunter!‘Is it really?’ She mentally thought.Leila let out another deep sigh – as she to
Chapter 45Moonlight***“You sounded like this conversation won’t turn out good.” Hunter commented – as he walked near her.She looked at him, amused – especially when he looked like he was already going to pout.But he looked away – causing my left brow to move upwards.It seemed like he was too embarrassed of his sudden childishness.However, that only made Leila’s smile grew wider.For a second, she felt like the wall built between them vanished into thin air.But the kiss suddenly flashed in her mind – causing her cheek to blush profusely.Hunter sat on the stair – just beside her.She felt his presence. But when he sat beside her, she felt his warmth – making her shiver in a good way. It was as if he was such a human jacket – although it was just only his presence.‘How
Chapter 46Concern***Leila woke up the next day with a huge smile pasted on her lips. She was to the moon. She couldn’t contain her happiness – as she rolled side by side while embracing her pillow tightly.Then, a loud thud resonated in her room – as she fell into her bed.“Ouch! Damn!” She murmured under her breath – as she held her back.However, she smiled like a lunatic. Even her back and butt were aching a bit – that didn’t make her frown or feel sad. In fact, she giggled at her crazy antics.“My goodness’ Leila, you look like a sick puppy.” She commented – as she looked at herself in the mirror after picking herself up.She let out a deep sigh – but her lips didn’t even change with a smile still lingering on it.Damn!She really couldn’t stop herself from reminiscing about everything that happened last night.Then, her face turned as red as a tomato.But she couldn’t deny the fact that she was certainly glowing. Her cheeks were flushed. Her lips were smiling. Her aura was lig

Her heart beat was escalating. She was totally confused – and she didn’t know what happened to her prior to how she ended up there.“What happened?” She asked once again – as she met Silver’s eyes.“You almost got it bad, Leila… You pushed yourself too mu

Remember that deep, profound, and extreme emotions could trigger your animalistic side. And if it does, you must overcome it yourself. If not…” Myrtle looked at her seriously.This is the first time; she saw her like this.“You might not be in your human form again… So, always be careful, Leila.

Chapter 112Trapped***Hunter clenched his jaw – as he watched Leila’s bruised face.Right there and then, he wanted to make that freaking Triad leader pay for what he did to her. He had no right to do that!However, he needed to calm his horses down because he needed to get Leila out of her and make sure that she was safe.That is his top priority for now.He knew that he would have a chance to make him pay – well, very soon.Hunter held Leila’s hand – making sure that the coast is clear.They had to get out of there – and fast.“How did you know that I am here? Did… Did Hector and the rest with you?” Leila asked in a hush tone.Perhaps, she was already getting too anxious because she couldn’t see anyone that was with him.Hunter swallowed the lump in his throat.Leila’s pres
