“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

  • My Neighbor is a Werewolf!   1: Rude

    Chapter 1 *** Leila thanked the taxi driver as she stepped out of the car with her one huge black luggage and a medium-sized black and gray traveling bag waiting at her side. The driver closed the door of the car, just humbly smiled at her, then drove away after she had paid a few bucks. She stretched her limbs to at least ease her outstretched arms from the long drive. She was oblivious to the things around her as she stared at the small bungalow house she inherited from her loving grandparents from his father’s side, Emilio and Josefa Mercado. Her mind was clouded with flashing memories she had with her loving late grandmother, who would run towards where she was the moment she had stepped out of their car, while her late grandfather would just smile – while watching them. Good old days. That was what she was thinking while looking at the old house. It was a single-story house with a slope roof that was made of concrete, glass, and bricks – and the colors were mixed of gray an

    Chapter 2 *** Leila was humming her favorite song as she placed the freshly baked chocolate chip cookies on the cooling rack. “Finally…” She smilingly clasped her both hands together while her eyes glittered while looking at it. It was a fine sultry day and she decided to give some of her neighbors her own version of chocolate chip cookies. Her mother, Sheila, and her stepbrother, Darcel, truly loved it and she was hoping her neighbors would love it, too. She was looking forward to selling some cookies and other pastries for her to have some extra income. She was dreaming of having her own bakeshop soon. Leila giggled at her thoughts. She rummaged through the hanging cabinet in the kitchen for possible containers, and she sweetly smiled when she found ten of it. “Nice! I can’t believe Carina bought some of the things that I need.” She whispered to herself. The market was an hour-drive from her house. She still needed to ride a taxi from the arc of the Sacred Place Village, and

  • My Neighbor is a Werewolf!   3: Curiosity

    Chapter 3 *** It was a busy day for Leila. She had received so many texts about ordering cupcakes and cookies. It made her so busy that she almost forgot about what happened to her yesterday. Well, almost, but not quite, for the moment she went to her gate, and she had seen the massive mansion just beside her house – everything just popped into her head like a fleeting mockery to her. She pouted and let out a deep sigh before shrugging her shoulders. Maybe, she wouldn’t ever forget how he treated her cookies! She’d made sure to avenge her poor cookies when the time came! She chuckled at her own joke and slightly shook her head. She wasn’t that morbid, though. Maybe, she’ll just put some stimulant laxatives in his food – nothing more. Leila bit her lower lip as her mind drifted towards the man who had occupied her mind the entire night. She let out a frustrated sigh before driving towards the arc where her customers were waiting for her pastries and cupcakes. “You’re such a tale

Thank you. *** “You’re such a great baker, Leila. Thank you for this.” Mrs. Johnson proudly commented as she stood beside her. Mrs. Johnson contacted her to create a customized cake for her daughter’s birthday. She was slowly building her name in the community and words were easily spread all throughout. Those words brought her back to reality and gave the kind woman a gentle small smile. “I really love baking. Thank you for trusting me on this, too.” She sincerely replied. “I’ll surely help you market your pastries and cakes, then. Maybe you can give me your portfolio so I can share it with my friends.” Mrs. Johnson excitedly told her. That made Leila ecstatic. “Sure, Mrs. Johnson. I’d do that. Thank you for giving me an idea.” Her voice was filled with happiness and anticipation. Le

    Chapter 5 *** Leila was dumbfounded, but she tried to stand up with her trembling knees. She had no idea why, but she followed the massive wolf that actually… rescued her! She couldn’t believe that there’s a meek wolf like that – not to mention that it was so huge and bulky. She had seen them on television, and they were predators – mostly wild and fierce. Leila ignored the bruises that were throbbing in some parts of her body. All she could think about was following the massive wolf and finding out who owned it. She wanted it! She wanted one for herself! Well, that might serve as her best friend while living here in the village. Her mind was clouded with the gratitude towards the wolf that saved her. She couldn’t believe that during that hard, awful, and hopeless time – she could find someone unexpectedly. She was panting inaudibly – breathing in her mouth as she tried to keep up with the wolf, which was slowly walking like it had nowhere to go. The owl cooed, and it echoed

    Chapter 6 *** It happened so fast that Leila couldn’t believe how she had come this far. She was flabbergasted upon discovering that it was Hunter Black, whom her mother had been indebted to. Well, technically, it was all her stepfather’s fault, but her mother had been his collateral. That man really had to give them a headache after what he had done to her! She couldn’t believe him! A heartless beast if she might add! But what’s worst was that she couldn’t believe how she had come this far and how fate was truly playing her right now. She stared at the huge mansion in front of her as she managed to press the doorbell. Butler Henry’s cold and blank expression welcomed her and ushered her towards the pathway. She mentally heaved a deep sigh. Now, she was welcomed here already, and that was because she had no other choice but to be the one who would pay for everything instead of her mother. “There are few rules that you had to remember while working here, Miss Leila.” Butler Hen

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.

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

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

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
