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 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 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 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

Reader’s discretion is advised. Thank you.***After visiting his parents, Hunter knew that he had to go to Tamika’s home. He received a letter from her saying that he had to go to her house.Despite of his pure resolve and desire to go straight to the Triad base and talk to Leila, as soon as possible, he knew that he had to go and asked her the reason of her letter.‘Maybe… Leila is there already?! Did she convince her?!’ His heart began to thump hard and fast as he immediately went to Tamika’s house.However, he hadn’t found Leila there.“Why do you ask me to come here? I have to talk to Leila. I have to go to the Triad base. I saw her there and I want to work things out between us again. If not, perhaps, I can try telling her the truth and-”“She will come here.” Tammy cold voice cut his words.His forehead c
Chapter 97Discern***Leila was panting so hard as she finally got into the woods.She had finally escaped the guards when she saw them talking in the hallway and laughing hard. She knew their routine already and she managed to escape.The very moment she arrived, even though she already agreed to the marriage – she planned some blind spots where she could use whenever she wanted to get out unnoticed.She tried asking for permission in meeting Tammy – but the eerie masked master wouldn’t just let her go.So, she had to get a move and get out of the place by herself instead.She had to know the answer that she had been looking for.And she knew that it was only Tammy who could help her.Leila didn’t know where she might be – but she had to go out of that place while she still can. She was confused and she had to ask Tammy – if n
Chapter 96Dream***Leila opened her eyes – just to be surprised at where she was.It was kind of familiar, but she couldn’t pinpoint where she was at the moment. Her forehead creased – as she tried to remember what happened to her and why she was in that particular place.“Hello?” She called – but her voice simply echoed.It made her shiver down her core.‘What the heck is happening? Where the freaking hell am I?’ She asked herself – as she got up from the dried leaves that she was lying at a while ago.She looked around, bewildered.“Silver?” She called her inner wolf – but no one is answering.Leila felt the intensifying fear that was slowly creeping into her bones.She was in the middle of nowhere. The tree
Chapter 95Safe***“This might something be too important that you have to go here instead of waiting for us in the pack community.” His father, Hudson Black, commented seriously – as Hunter entered his office.He knew from Butler Henry that they will be meeting the elders tomorrow and planned – since they have already talked to the Alpha King and Queen and had their go signal for the Triad’s eradication.However, he couldn’t wait for them anymore.And he had to tell them about the news – even if he knew that they might have known it already. He didn’t want Leila to get hurt.He knew that this decision might mean that he might lose being the Alpha’s son – and worst got disown, but he didn’t care. He had to come clean – and hope that Leila could be safe, if worst comes to worst and Leila might be drag to thi
Chapter 94For Always***“Just stop staring at me and tell me what is it? What is that something that I shouldn’t know?” Hunter repeated his question – because Hector, Myrtle, and Butler Henry were just looking at him.He couldn’t stop himself from raising a brow – especially when they exchanged that kind of look.And he knew that something was up.They shared that meaningful glare – making him to feel upset.However, when his eyes moved to a piece of paper. From the looks of it, there was a slight clue as to what was happening already. And even him – he just hoped that he didn’t have to know.But he knew that regardless of the things that he knew, he pretended not to care.“I should have stayed at the garden – even if it is already too hot.” He commented on himself.In that way, he might not have experienced that harsh reality – right in front of him.He smirked inwardly – a sarcastic and painful one.‘Reality slapped him really hard this time, huh?’ He mentally thought.Myrtle let
Chapter 93Invitation***“Master…” He heard Viego call him.There was an undeniable worry etched in his tone of voice – and he knew what it means. He smiled evilly while wearing his half-faced mask.He was now sitting in his throne – while playing a chess all by himself. He was holding the queen piece in his hand – as if it was the most precious and amazing that caught his attention.Viego went to him silently. He didn’t have to think profoundly about his words – he knew him very well. And even if he didn’t want the way he said the words – he had to be patient to him.For now, he was in the crucial part of his plans, and he had no time to get a newbie as his second in command. Besides, so far, he had no other problems about him – except the fact that he was just too cautious and intimidated by his presence.Wel
Chapter 92Mess***“Master Hector…” Lio called him – as he arrived at the place where he left them a while ago.He looked like he would kill those who would dare cross him.Well, he would – especially that he was in the foul mood right now.And the three knew that. They wouldn’t want to test their leader right now. They wouldn’t stake their lives – when they knew that they might be doomed if they try doing so.“Where the heck is he?” He asked dangerously.The three of them swallowed hard as they looked at each other for a short while – as if they were trying to tell each other who would explain and answer to his question.Because right now, they knew that they were all in the middle of something that’s inevitable. They couldn’t stop whatever chaos that might unfold once they open their mouth
Chapter 91Heartbreak***‘L-Leila…’Hunter was confused – as his mind was fighting with his heart screaming in pain.This was something that he had to settle aside for now.He tried to calm his mind – as well as his inner wolf – from screaming that she betrayed him.It wasn’t easy – when all that was running in his mind was pure anger and betrayal. It wasn’t helping him when Tracker, his inner wolf, was also wanting to take over him.He gritted his teeth – as he clenched his hands into balled fists.‘No… She couldn’t do this… She won’t join these people. She won’t join the Triad…’ He tried to reason out – as he found himself waiting for the right time to get in.This is the only chance that he got – and he only have a lesser time before Hector discover what he had done.He had to make sure to talk to Leila. He had to clear things with her.However, he knew that this might be the end of everything between them. And if it did – the least that he knew was the fact that he had done every
Chapter 90Found***Silence.It was one of the things that he hated the most now.Especially the deafening silence that was filling his ears.If not from the crickets around – this might be too creepier for everyone.However, for the time being he had to embrace the silence – for it was the only way he would now what was happening.‘Are you really here, Leila? I hope that you are not…’ A huge part of him was hoping that everything that he heard wasn’t all true.He looked around – making sure that they were still hidden in the middle of darkness.The place was already disturbing – and he couldn’t believe that the Triad had managed to hide in this place. They were pretty clever for hiding in this very secluded place.Who would have thought that they were close to their pack?Hunter let ou
