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
Chapter 47Dream***Even when she was already in her bed – she couldn’t sleep. It was as if everything that Butler Henry told her was still lingering inside her mind and she couldn’t move on from it.Leila couldn’t believe what she discovered about Hunter. Although she had to take more information from Butler Henry – for she really wanted to know more about him. Besides, it wasn’t as if she had asked Butler Henry to spill the beans – the deepest secrets about Hunter.Leila let out a deep sigh – as she moved to the other side of her bed. She stared at the moon – shining brightly in the night sky. She swallowed hard as Butler Henry’s words resonated in her mind.*** Flashback…“What do you mean?” Leila curiously asked – after hearing Butler Henry’s words.She was not a fool. She knew that there was more to it than what he had told her. And she wanted to know. She was eager to know – especially when it was about Hunter.Butler Henry stared at her seriously – as if he was weighing down h
Chapter 48Sweet***Leila still felt that heaviness in her heart.She had learned more about Hunter.And now, this.She didn’t know what the heck her dream was all about.No.For her, it wasn’t a simple dream – but it was a nightmare.And it was something that she couldn’t understand.Leila let out a deep sigh – as she decided to get up from her bed and cook for breakfast instead.It’s still early. And she didn’t know whether Hunter and Hector arrived already – but she was in the mood to cook breakfast.Especially after that.Even though Myrtle have already told her to leave it to the servant omegas – but she had no other thing to do.She needed some diversion.And cooking is one of the best diversions.Well, it should be baking – but since she was short of ingredients, she would resort to cooking for the meantime.Then, she realized that she could do it later if she had some berries.Her excitement grew as she was thinking of baking some tarts later. Her stomach growled at the thoug

Thank you.***“What the hell?!” Leila couldn’t stop herself from uttering those words.She couldn’t believe what was happening.Tamika simply broke her glance at her and simply went towards the sink to rinse her hand – as if she had no serious injury to her hand.Her lips were still ajar – as she watched her, like she wasn’t hurt at all. Even though she knew that her wound was a bit deep and there was a lot of blood.“Don’t worry, this is just a small cut.” Tamika explained without any trace of emotion at all!Leila pursed her lips together – as she went towards her.“Just a small cut?! Look at your hand!” She uttered in pure disbelief.However, before she could even get closer to her – her feet stopped.She inwardly shook her head.‘No… I shouldn’t trust her… Not yet… Or simply…
Chapter 73Void***Content Warning: This chapter might contain violence, abuse, crime, or triggering factors that may be harmful, disturbing, or traumatizing to some. Reader’s discretion is advised. Thank you.***“What do you mean by that?” The man wearing a mask, their master, inquired Viego – as he was standing in front of him.He was trying to explain his men’s report to their mater – especially right now that he wanted them to find Leila and finally capture her.Viego swallowed the lump in his throat before looking at their masted – who seemed to be all ear for his news.“We can’t find anything about what happened to Miss L-Leila, M-Master.” He replied nervously.Their master groaned disappointedly.“And the Moon Howlers Pack?” Their master inquired coldly – as if he was waiting for good news for them and would instantly have his head if that happened.Viego let out an inaudible sigh.“We are sure that they also didn’t know where Miss Leila i-is, Master. It was as if she vanishe
Chapter 72Unanswered***“Who are you?”Regardless of how dry her throat was – and how her senses mess up with her, because an unknown and strange woman appeared in front of her, she managed to utter those words.And Leila wanted to clap at herself for that.Especially when it came as coldly and as bravely as she thought it could be.However, the woman’s expression didn’t change – even a bit – as she asked her that question.It was as if she was just looking at a mere object that she had seen her like forever.She was certainly – no, totally – weird.Then, in a matter of a few more seconds, she felt her body become weaker and weaker – making her swallow hard.“You are still weak. That’s understandable. You have fought death – you have to eat.” That was her answer instead.That made her forehead creased a bit more.It was as if she didn’t mind her words. It was as if she had her own world to deal with. And that she was just there for her to take care of.Well, that was what her guts w

Thank you.***“Leila!”Someone was calling her name.She looked around – hoping to see who it was.Even though Leila had already a hunch about who it was.“Leila…”There it was again. And it was getting louder and louder. This time, she was sure.She could hear her father calling her name.“D-Dad…” She wanted to say out loud – but she couldn’t.Her lips seemed to be glued together – as if she couldn’t say anything even if she wanted to.“Leila!”There was it… again. For the nth time – she closed her eyes firmly.Then, she heard a loud and eerie growling sound – echoing in the depths of the forest.Leila shivered down her spine. Her legs started to tremble – as she felt palms turning cold. Bullet of sweat started to gather in her forehead – as she tried looking around for her father.She
Chapter 70Blood***‘Leila… don’t give up…’Those words echoed in Leila’s ears – and it was all familiar to her.That voice…‘Leila… open your eyes…’And it was calling her – as if trying to make her conscious.Even amidst the darkness, she wanted to open her eyes, but she couldn’t. It was as if there were heavy sacks that were on her eyelids that she couldn’t lift up.‘You can do it, Leila… Don’t give up…’It was Silver’s voice.And Leila knew that she still has someone with her. Even after everything that happened – she still has Silver, her inner wolf.However, no matter how much she tried to open her eyes – she couldn’t.She could feel the poison slowly creeping into her veins.Leila might not be a quitter. She had never been. She thought of her father – and her eyes instantly moistened with tears.‘My poor father…’ She mentally thought.However, even though she was still mourning for her father – she couldn’t stop thinking that she still has her mother and Darcel. She still has
Chapter 69Truth***The darkness of the depths of the woods wouldn’t be a hindrance for Hunter and his comrades in finding Leila.Owls started to hoot – echoing the entire forest, making it creepier, but no one even shivered at the thought of it.Every single one of them knew what they came into.Danger might come anytime – especially at this kind of place.And every single one of them were ready for anything – even for a sudden battle that could resurface anytime.But even amidst everything, Hunter’s mind was still in chaos – as he, Hector, and some hunters and sentinel wolves were looking for Leila as they were still trying to find Leila in the middle of the dark forest where he last saw her.He couldn’t believe what he had just heard from his parents a while ago. And he was in between getting at ease and worry – as memories of what they talked about, back in the Black Mansion played inside his mind.*** Flashback…“And we are also telling the truth, Son…” Hera Black, his mother, s
Chapter 68Believe***‘What the heck happened?’ Hunter couldn’t stop asking – as his concern rocketed to the moon. He tried looking around – hoping to see anything… any clue that could help him to find Leila.But to no avail.He couldn’t find anything – until he was already exhausted and unable to think clearly. But he had to. He had to find Leila. But how?Hunter let out a loud growl – hoping that it could reach Leila. He was feeling so hopeless – but he had to stay strong. He wouldn’t lose her – definitely not this way.He still has to find some ways – a lot more ways for her. And giving up was not part of it.For the second and third time, he let out a louder growl – hoping and even thinking that it might make him think rationally. He was panting so hard – as he looked around for the nth time.There was still no sign of Leila. He looked above – as his black snout tried to sniff her in the air, hoping that there might still be her scent left into the cold breeze… But there was none
Chapter 67Blood***“Where the heck are you going?!” Hector asked him, annoyed.He even tried to block his way.It was as if he was trying to stop him from coming after Leila.“Hector…” Myrtle’s voice was trying to stop Hector from being so rude at him.Then, she looked at them with pure concern.Hector gritted his teeth – as if he was just trying to contain himself.Well, he was, either.He was trying to contain the various emotions that kept on swirling up his entire system.But Hunter was as stubborn as a mule. He ignored him as he walked past their parents – who were still looking blankly, as if they were trying to process everything.“I will get back… And when I do, I want some answers…” He stated – using his coldest and most dangerous tone of voice.Hector’s forehead creased.“You can’t-”But their father, Hudson, simply raised his right hand in the air – as if stopping the both of them.And then, he looked at him seriously.“Be careful… We will wait for you.” He simply replied
Chapter 65Furious***Leila felt her entire body tremble in both pain and anger.She was in the middle of processing everything that she found out – and it seemed like her body couldn’t take the shock any longer. She didn’t know how long she had been staying there.And she didn’t know how long she could still stay there.At least she had to find somewhere she could stay in.However, her body just wouldn’t move and allow her to go and find herself with a decent place to take a rest with.Her mind was still in a race to think about what she had to do next. Even planning her revenge. And processing her every emotion – that was lingering in her heart.But her body was already too tired to even take it all in.She had to take a break. She had to stop and let her body rest.However, she couldn’t.No matter how much she tried, she couldn’t.Her memories were playing inside her head like a broken stereo. And it was making her body – particularly her heart – stay in pain and anger.She clench
