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
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

Thank you.***Leila gritted her teeth – as she tried to pull her arms away from the two men who seemed to be unreliable and quite dangerous. She could feel so unsafe with them. Well, she couldn’t blame herself for thinking that way. Based on the way they dress – to the way they look at her.“Stop wriggling or you will not want what I’ll do next…” The man with huge and bulky body said.She just gave them a deadly glare.Even if she wanted to say a thing, she couldn’t. Her lips were taped. It was because of talking too much a while ago.Leila couldn’t stop getting annoyed because of

Thank you.***Leila woke up with a terrible headache and it became worst when she smelled the rotten stench around her. She almost wanted to puke at that.‘Damn it!’ She commented inside her head – as she caught herself in heavy breathing.She tried her best to open her heavy lids – as she gritted her teeth because she couldn’t even do that easily. She closed her eyes again firmly – trying to gather her sane thoughts.‘What happened? Where the heck am I?’ She mentally asked herself.She felt so dizzy – as she tried collecting her own thoughts. Then, she realized that she was in Tammy’s house when someone knocked her out by making her smell something so strong before she went out of consciousness.‘That might be some sort of a drug. But why?’ Leila inquired once again, bewildered.She
Chapter 83Surprise***Amidst the darkness of the night, someone was moving in a meteoric way. His pink tongue was dancing with the cold breeze – but it was sure that he was a reflection of success and giddiness.His grayish fur was glistening with the ray of light kissing it. But he didn’t even care. All that in his head right now was the fact that he is almost near to his goal.Finally…When a deer came in his way – he didn’t even blink as he jumped on a log and then landed at the back of the deer before jumping away and continued running.In some other time, he could have sliced it up into two and brought it into their base – but not today.Because there is more important thing that he had to do now.What a lucky deer!He couldn’t stop himself but to sneer – feeling thrilled with the fact that after how many months of unsuccessful attempts and misleading information about their target, he had finally got a chance.“Sir Viego…”The moment he reached his companions; he took an abrup
Chapter 82Warning***Hunter didn’t know how long he had been sitting on that unfamiliar barn.All that he knew was the fact that Leila broke up with him already.And her words kept on playing inside his mind – like a broken stereo.It was as if his could also hear his heart breaking inside his chest. It was excruciatingly painful. It was something that he was silently hoping to be just a dream… a nightmare.But it wasn’t.He knew that it wasn’t the case.This is real.A painful reality.He swallowed the lump in his throat – as he tried to calm himself. He came in the South – quietly hoping to find Leila. At least to make sure that she is unharmed… by any means. But he knew that wouldn’t be possible.Leila is in deep pain.And so did he.For now, what settled him was the fact that he found her – at least that was the only consolation he had right now. She is safe and sound. She is fine. And she found someone that could be with her – even though he didn’t saw her a while ago when he w
Chapter 81Break***Leila woke up the next day – as if there was someone staring at her. She blinked her eyes – as she adjusted to the light coming from the barn.Then, she suddenly got sensible and immediately got up from the bed. She almost fell from it – causing someone to shout worriedly at her.“H-Hey! Be careful!” A familiar voice agitatedly told her – as he sat on the bed, as if he was trying to hold her arm.But Leila – acted on instinct – instantly got herself steady and moved slightly away from Hunter.Her forehead creased – as she was trying to recall what happened to her.She looked around – and remembered that she was still in the barn… And with Hunter!Leila let out a loud curse inside her head – as she tried to maintain her cool.For a moment, she lost her calm demeanor. For a moment, she had broken her wall. For a moment, she almost did something that she might regret in the future.She looked at Hunter’s worried expression – and she almost got lost once again. Howeve
Chapter 80For Now***Leila wiped away the tears that fell from her eyes.She didn’t know how long she had stayed that way.It was as if she had finally seized the moment – even though what she could only do was to stare at the man that her heart is yearning for.Leila knew that deep in her heart – she was still confused. However, even though she wanted to follow her heart, she could ignore the fact that seeing Hunter’s parents could remind her of the pain… The pain of losing her own father. The reason why her family was ruined.And it was like adding salt to the wound – that fate wanted them to see each other again.She didn’t even know how the heck did Hunter found them in the deepest part of the South. She knew that even if Tammy wanted her to forgive and let love overtake her heart, she wouldn’t let anyone enter this part of the forest.Leila let out a deep sigh as she was about to stand up and simply go towards the small couch she was sitting from a while ago – when she stopped

Reader’s discretion is advised. Thank you.***Leila didn’t know how to react.All that she knew that time was the fast beating of her heart – and it was something that she could already hear from her ears.The moment felt so surreal – but in a negative way.She could feel the sudden fear engulfing her entire being – something that she didn’t even feel a moment ago while fighting the rogues.The moment she saw blood dripping from Hunter’s body, she knew that she was scared – not for her own life but for him.‘Isn’t that what you wished for? Isn’t that what you meant to do when you discovered what happen to your father?’ A part of her mind reminded her.She gritted her teeth.Right now, she didn’t know anymore.“Damn it!” She whispered under her breath – as she watched Tamika tried to cure Hunter’s wound from a

And she wanted to blame herself for that.‘How the heck could they freaking conceal their presence?’ She asked herself – annoyed.She only noticed three rogue presences a while ago.But now…There might be a dozen rogues around them now.Damn it!She just couldn’t believe it.‘How the heck did that happen?’ She mentally asked herself once again – for she thought that she had already improved.That time, she just felt so annoyed and hopeless.“We are in the depths of the South, Leila. This is their territory. Don’t be hard on yourself.” Silver answered deliberately – as if she was trying to console her.She let out a deep sigh in
Chapter 77Strong***“I am a seer, Leila.”Her lips slightly parted ways – as she stared at her.Tammy’s expression didn’t even change, but she knew that she wouldn’t even joke about it. However, it was just so shocking to know.Leila took a deep breath – as she tried to process her thoughts.“I know that it is hard to believe… But I am… And I know what situation you are into…” Tammy stated seriously – as if she was completely trying to persuade her.But Leila slightly shook her head. She gave her an unbelievable look – it was as if she had her own thoughts, disagreeing with her.“You see the future… And you let them… You are just too kind, Tamika…” She uttered coldly.However, Tammy shook her head.“I can’t see my future, Leila… And all I can do is to be kind… There will never be wrong in being kind…” She contradicted – causing her to groan in annoyance.Then, she smirked at her.“There will never be wrong in being kind… That’s a ridiculous thinking, Tammy.” She said – emphasizing h
