Chapter 58Tease***“We have to continue the investigation.” Hector declared with pure resolve.But Elder Howard shook his head – as if he totally disagreed with him.Of course.Who would want to endanger them?They all knew that there was something fishy going on about these morbid things happening and Elder Howard just wouldn’t want them to be on the line.After Elder Morrigan have gone home, since Myrtle and Leila weren’t around the mansion because the servant omegas told them that she went to the training area to accompany Leila in her training, the good elder said that he had an urgent meeting with the betas and leader of their pack, so he had to go back immediately.So, now, they decided to go to Elder Howard’s place instead. They have to continue talking about addressing the problem – especially the one that happened near their border.But it looked like Elder Howard simply wanted them to stay put and wait for their parents to arrive. Or it seemed like he was just too worried
Chapter 59Genuine***“What happened to you? Are you okay?” It was Leila’s voice that made him look around.Her brows burrowed – as she looked at him with pure concern.Then, Hunter’s face slightly turned a bit gentler. However, that doesn’t change the fact that she already saw his expression a while ago. He was caught off guard that he hadn’t noticed her and Myrtle immediately.Hunter swallowed hard as Myrtle gave them a teasing smile – like what Elder Howard and Hector did a while back – then, she just nodded at them before she proceeded towards the mansion.Hunter couldn’t even tell her about her grandfather because all of his attention was with Leila already.Especially when she put her hand in his forehead – as if checking whether he was fine or not.Hunter swallowed hard.Volts of electricity travelled in his veins with just short skin to skin contact – and it was something that only Leila could do to him. It was her effect on him – and it was making his inner wolf get frantic
Chapter 60Return The Favor***“That is good to go, Leila.” Myrtle commented as she asked her to taste her own version of beef carpaccio with pickled pear and crunchy nuts.Leila was just so agitated.Myrtle nodded her head and smiled sweetly at her.“This is just so great. I love it. I am sure that Hunter and Hector’s parents would love this.” She assured her – with all honesty.Leila felt a bit relieve – as she looked at the dishes she prepared.Cooking wasn’t her forte, but living with the Blacks made her practice her cooking skills.At the kitchen, everything is ready.Poterhouse steak with rosemary and garlic sauce, beef short rib bourguignon, and the beef carpaccio that she just cooked. Beef is one of the main ingredient dishes which was Hunter’s father’s favorite according to Myrtle.On the other hand, she cooked chicken and broccoli, apple cider glazed chicken, and chicken parm meatball skillet – since Hunter’s mother’s favorite were chicken dishes.Yes.She truly prepared ex
Chapter 61Parents***Leila was inside her room as she prepared herself for Hunter’s parents will be arriving very soon. She had to take a break after cooking before preparing herself.Of course, she didn’t want to smell like the dishes she cooked in front of her future in-laws.She smiled as she felt contented with all of the dishes she prepared a while ago.Leila was just hoping that it would suit their taste and impress them. She had put not only her heart into it – but also her soul. So, she was silently praying that this night would turn out fine.For her loving Hunter.She giggled at her own thought.Well, she would just think something so outrageous – just to prevent herself from thinking negatively. There were still a lot of what-ifs running into her mind. Although Myrtle and Hunter assured her already with everything.They were always telling her that everything will be fine – she just couldn’t stay still, not until she found it out herself. She didn’t want to simply take ev
Chapter 62Remember***Hunter was so worried as he walked back and forth near Leila’s bed – while his Uncle Bobson checked on her.He couldn’t stop himself from worrying because of what happened to Leila.Why did she collapse?What the heck happened to her?He was certainly so worried that he ignored everyone around and frantically carried her and put her back to her room.Is she that nervous? Pressured?He shouldn’t have brought her in that party – with all of the crowd around her.Everything was making him blame himself for that.He couldn’t stop his worries from growing.“Uncle Bob… How’s Leila?” For the nth time, he asked – full of concern.But his uncle’s face darkened.This time, he knew that he was a bit annoyed already.“You are breaking my concentration on checking her pulse, Hunter. Do you want me to throw you out of this room instead?” He warned him seriously – causing him to grit his teeth and stopped himself from lashing out.He heard his Uncle Bob let out a deep sigh an

Thank you.***“What the f*ck is going on?!” Hector cursed as he tried to block Leila.Hunter tried to stop her – but she was just so strong.“Ouch! F*ck!” Hector cursed loudly – as he felt his arm getting wounded by Leila’s elongated nails.She was mad!No!She was livid!“What the heck, Leila!” Hunter was trying to stop her, but she just wouldn’t stop.“You killed my father!”That was all that she was yelling about.But their parents were trying to stop her – obviously bewildered and shocked at her sudden accusations.“Leila… Stop. Please stop! Leila! I said stop! Those are my parents!” Hunter’s voice boomed in the four corners of the room – causing Leila to take an abrupt stop.However, when his eyes met hers – he swallowed hard.It was filled with so many emotions that he couldn’t c

Reader’s discretion is advised. Thank you.***Leila, in her wolf form, let out a loud growling sound – as shifted back into her human form.Her eyes were blurred with the tears forming in front of it – blocking her vision as to where she was now.However, she found herself leaning against the huge roots as she hugged her bent knees – and rested her arms on it before burying her face and cried her heart out.She ignored the eeriness of the place. She ignored the creepiness of the hustling wind – causing the dried leaves to fly with it.All that she was focused on was the fact that she had found out the truth – and it was totally wrecking her right now.It was as if fate decided to play on her.How could this happen?Of all people…She closed her eyes firmly – as fragments of memories started to creep into her mind.
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
Chapter 119Floating***“W-What?” Leila whispered under her breath – as she looked at Hector straight into the eyes.Of course, he wouldn’t dare tell them a lie.No one would joke around at this kind of sensitive topic.And if he might dare doing it – all of them would surely give him a hit.Hector let out a deep sigh before he spoke.“After rescuing you and Hunter, we tried locating him. But all of a sudden, the Triad base suddenly exploded. It seemed like the explosives inside were lit and Donovan… He is one of those who were dead. We saw his dead body in his throne.” Hector explained seriously.Leila didn’t know what to feel about the news.She was torn of being happy and sad – all at the same time.Of course, she couldn’t be happy for having someone she knew – dead. Even though th
Chapter 118Finally***The Moon Howlers Pack rescued them from the Triad base.It was the truth that she had been thinking the very moment she opened her eyes. Once again, she was in her room when she woke up.Myrtle already told her everything.*** Flashback…“You are lucky to escape being totally eaten by your animalistic side, Leila.”It was almost the same words that came from Silver.Myrtle worriedly looked at her.Yes.She almost became a lycan.And if that happened – there would be a huge possibility that she couldn’t go back.She could be someone whose soul was eaten by their animalistic side. Someone that couldn’t shift back into their human form – a cursed lycan. And she could not think properly any longer.
Chapter 117Better******Darkness.That was what she saw when she opened her eyes.She looked around – but there was no one.Leila’s heart was beating so loud inside her chest.“Silver…” She called her inner wolf – and right there and then, Silver appeared in front of her.She was truly surprised.“Where are we?” Leila asked – full of worry, confusion, and curiosity.She looked around once again. 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. Don’t you ever overdo yourself.”***Those were Myrtle’s words.Words that she had th

If she was simply alone – she knew that she couldn’t fight Donovan that way.He looked like a devil wanting to devour her anytime.His wolf form – as a pitch black furred wolf – was just a scary thing to see.Not to mention his pitch black eyes – staring at her with devil glint. It was making her shiver down her spine. But she wouldn’t simply let h

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
