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
Chapter 49Heart***Leila smiled discreetly – as she saw Hunter frown a bit when their eyes met. She chuckled silently – as she looked away.“You and Hunter seem to be a bit… closer now, huh?” Myrtle tried to make it sound like she was striking a simple and friendly conversation – but she could sense playfulness in her tone of voice.She bit her lower lip as she felt her cheeks burned in embarrassment.Myrtle smiled at her genuinely. It was as if she knew what she was thinking about already. But Myrtle simply chuckled at that.“Hunter… He had been through a lot already. and I knew that you have discovered some of it. I just hope that this time, he wouldn’t get hurt.” Myrtle stated seriously – before looking back at her.She let out a deep sigh.“He has always been my closest friend. A brother. And I am hoping for the best for him. And you, Leila, I could see that you love him truly. Hector and I were happy to know that you truly love and care for him.” Myrtle commented – with a small
