Chapter 112
Trapped
***
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

Leave you here?!” Leila spoke seriously.She shook her head once again – ignoring the pairs of eyes that were looking at them.“Stop talking in whisper…” Donovan said – this time, annoyed that he seemed not to be taken seriously.“You both know that I am holding your dear life right

Reader’s discretion is advised. Thank you.***Leila saw blood.Hunter…Hunter is hurt.Worry began to rush into her veins – as fear started to succumb her heart.She was so worried about what might happen to Hunter.Especially when he tried getting up – the very moment he saw her.Leila bit her lower lip – as she felt the sting of her wound in her arm.Blood started flow from her skin – as Hunter growled and shifted into his wolf form.Her eyes widened in both shock and worry.“N-No! Stop it, Hunter!” She tried yelling at him again.A huge part of her was so scared.She

Reader’s discretion is advised. Thank you.***Leila knew that she wouldn’t back down – not without a fight.She would make sure to embrace Silver fully.Silver growled loudly – as if she was trying to intimidate Donovan.She wanted to embrace Silver. 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

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
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
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 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 120Medicine***Leila’s face was still in bright red – while looking at Hunter being checked by Uncle Bob.She couldn’t believe that she could be such an aggressive woman.‘Damn it, Leila… You really have to do that a while ago? You should have asked him if he was okay – not kissed him right there and then.’ She murmured inside her head.Then, her face turned redder when she realized that if Hunter didn’t groan in pain – she wouldn’t stop the kiss yet.“You are really an aggressive one, Leila…” This time, Silver tried to throw her a playful remark.Her lips protruded.Well, she had no excuse for that.She was just so happy – that she couldn’t stop herself.However, seeing how Hunter looked at her with that playful smirk on his face –
Chapter 142Saved***Content Warning: This chapter might contain violence, abuse, crime, or triggering factors that may be harmful, disturbing, or traumatizing to some. Reader’s discretion is advised. Thank you.***“Master Hector… You have to see this…” Lio, his beta, seriously stated.Hector’s brows furrowed in curiosity. He was too busy with the pack’s problem about the new trainees as hunters – and now, here is his beta, trying to give him that kind of look. It was as if there was another problem again.He nodded his head – then, he followed Lio towards one of the pack’s borders.“What is it?” Hector inquired darkly.However, his question was already answered when just a few meters from where they were, he could already smell the stench from a dead body.
Chapter 141Blame***It was indeed a great day for Leila and Hunter – as they were both smiling while walking the route home.Spending time together was just so refreshing and relaxing.Getting into each other with their playful antics. Playing like kids in the river. And of course, planning out their wedding – when some important things came to mind.All in all, they were both so happy and contented as they finally wrapped up that day.Leila felt like this was the kind of life she had been longing for. A kind of life she wanted to spend with Hunter.“We have to talk to Elder Howard for the date of our wadding. I want the soonest and luckiest day.” Hunter said smilingly – as they were walking back to the Black mansion.Leila smiled at him sweetly.“Of course. I would like that, too. Whenever possible date it might be – as
Chapter 140Charm***It was a fine and cloudy day.Leila and Hunter were walking hand in hand towards the riverbank.After celebrating with the whole pack last night – and had spent time with their family this morning, the two decided to spend their quality time together that afternoon.Leila couldn’t agree more.Besides, she also wanted to be with Hunter.It was just in the riverbank anyway. And three of the pack’s beta was with them. It was one of his parents’ conditions before they decided to let them be and enjoy their picnic.Hunter talked about it this morning. They will be using this time to plan for their wedding. And she was just too excited about it – that she immediately said yes.Leila was astonished – as she watched the water ran rapidly on the rocks. It was crystal clear – that she could see the fish swimmin

Reader’s discretion is advised. Thank you.***“Where is Leila?” Myrtle asked curiously – as she and Hector went to him.His parents went to him, too – as they took a bit distant from the crowd.It seemed like his family wanted to talk to him right now.“She talks to her mother.” He simply replied – causing Myrtle to look at him worriedly while Hector just looked at him with his left brow shot upwards.Their parents were let into a deep silence.His brows furrowed at that.“You are not thinking thoroughly about this, huh? What if she didn’t want you for her daughter?” Hector fired that un
Chapter 138Serious Talk***Leila knew – from that very moment – that her mother wasn’t pleased with the celebration.Who would?When she almost forgot her?!She was cursing herself inside her mind – as she walked towards her.Hunter seemed to have noticed her sudden changed of reaction – that he instantly held her waist gently, stopping her from going anywhere without even telling him where to go.She looked at him – and back to her mother, who was already marching back towards the mansion. She looked a bit anxious at that.“Are you okay?” Hunter asked tenderly – but he instantly realized what was happening when he took a swift glance at the way where her eyes were.He bit his lower lip and took an inaudible sigh.“Did I… Did I offend your mother? I mean… Damn it!” He whispere
Chapter 137Celebrate***Donovan is still at large.And it was given already.The enemy is still out there – just waiting for its chance and right time to launch an attack.However, it was also clear that enemies and negative situations would always be part of their lives. And it was inevitable. Nothing could ever stop it from happening.But they have their choices.And like what Hunter said, life is short, and he wanted to spend it with her.So, whatever happened in the future – there were no regrets because they spend time with the people, they love the most. They have said the words that they wanted to convey. They share the moments – big or small – to the people they cared the most. They share their battles – win or lose – with the people they treasured the most.Having these thoughts in mind, Leila and Hunter decided to te
Chapter 136Under the Moon***The melancholic feeling could be felt in the air – as Leila took one step at a time towards the mounted stones just below that massive peepal tree. The sacred fig seemed to be waving its cordate in shape leaves with a distinguishing lengthy drip tip that was just too hard to miss.It only gave her the heavy feeling of mourning – for only the dried leaves she was stepping on were the only sound she could hear. The cold breeze that was fanning her exposed skin simply made her feel emotional.The sound of the chirping birds – which would be heard from time to time – was making the scene a bit lighter. However, Leila just couldn’t appreciate it now.Hunter was walking with her side by side.And she was just grateful that he was silently giving her support and privacy at that time.He didn’t say a word – but hi
Chapter 135Wolfless***Leila opened her eyes – with her entire body aching.So, she immediately closed her eyes tightly and groaned.“L-Leila…”She could hear her mother’s voice.And she wasn’t sure whether she was hallucinating or not.She tried opening her eyes once again – but the blinding light from the sun was just too much for her to bear. She closed her eyes once again – as she felt her throat dry.Leila knew that she was in her room at the Blacks Mansion.But why is her mother here?Or is this part of her dream?She remembered being captive by Donovan and was about to get wed to him and-Her eyes instantly wide open now – as she was wide awake now. Her every sense was already alert and ready to engage. However, when she tried getting up – it was just too excruciatingly painful for her.She groaned.“Careful, Leila… Stop pushing yourself too much.” Her mother told her worriedly.But it only fueled her determination to get up and make sure that she was true.“M-Mom…” Her voice
Chapter 134Inner Wolf******Darkness.It was all that Leila could see when she finally opened her eyes.However, this time, she couldn’t find any fear residing inside her anymore.It seemed like she had been full accepted that this was part of her life already – getting contact with Silver… trying to think that this might be where she was right now.“Silver…” She tried calling her.Perhaps, she had finally accepted darkness because of Silver.She learned to appreciate it because of her.In fact, she couldn’t believe that her inner wolf would be here alone.That thought only intensified her strong will to finally talk to Silver – or even take a glimpse at her.However, one minute… two minutes… another and another minute passed – but there was no Silver.Leila felt a bit odd at that.Silver would always appear in front of her whenever she called her.“Silver…” She tried calling her again.But still… There was no response.Leila swallowed hard.“S-Silver… This is not a j-joke anymore…
