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 –

Thank you.***Hunter raised his hand into the air – stopping Dustin who was tailing him from behind.The sound of the crickets was the only thing that they could hear around.After talking to Elder Morrigan and asking Butler Henry about his plan – he immediately went to the place where Hector went before he went missing.It was strangely silent – which was making him think that they were in the right place.Until he felt a presence – as torches slightly lit a certain track leading to somewhere.Hunter nodded at Dustin as they followed the alleged rogues holding the torches discreetly. His heart was beating inside him with pure determination to find his brother. And he believed that he was on the right track – and that he was getting nearer to Hector.They stopped as they saw a
Chapter 153Surprise***Hunter started rummaging Hector’s office – making sure that he didn’t miss something that he did for Elder Howard’s secret task to him.To be honest, he was a bit angry at their elder – but he couldn’t do anything. He knew that he was already regretting this and that he didn’t want this to happen.However, nothing will happen if they blame each other.And now he was trying so hard to find clues about Hector’s whereabouts aside from the map given by Myrtle. And thinking about it – he must act fast. He didn’t know what was happening to his brother – but he knew that time is the essence this time. Especially when he hasn’t come back yet. And that he hadn’t communicated – even to Myrtle.This is no Hector – at all.His forehead creased when he saw a letter.It w
Chapter 152Ruthless***It’s already been two days since they talked about Hector in the library.All of the seven betas of the pack were on the move to find him. And they have to be discreet about it. This should be done lowkey to avoid any more complications with other packs – even their alliances.Elder Howard tried to make sure that he would only give instructions to their closest alliances – not bothering the other elders in their association.However, they all have nothing.No news.No indicators of where he is.No tracks.Nothing.And it was all that making them all so worried.“Are you sure that this is the map left by Hector?” Hera inquired Myrtle while they were in the library having their family meeting.Leila and Hunter were at the corner of the room while the Elder Howard, Mrytle, and Hunter’s parents were on the sofa.Myrtle simply nodded her head.Her eyes were now puffed – maybe because of too much crying. And even though she was already trying so hard to stop herself
Chapter 151Priority***Everything has come to an end.Donovan is dead.Finally.And this was the end of it all.Leila finally talked to Darcel – and the clever kid that he was, he could understand the things the older people could only comprehend.However, she told him that he was still young and that he could still enjoy his youth. Regardless of what happened and even his real identity – which they didn’t know – they still loved him dearly.And Darcel could only cry at that.Leila could still remember his exact words at that time.*** Flashback…“Even though you are not my real family, you never failed to take care of me and love me deeply. With that, I am beyond grateful and content. I truly love this family. And besides…” Darcel trialed off – as he gave them a small smile.Their mother, Sheila, was already crying silently beside them.While Leila was listening intently to her younger brother – trying to act so strong, calming her nerves just for her to stop her tears from falling
Chapter 150Doubts***Everything is in chaos – as they arrived at the pack.However, Hector made sure that everything was under control.It seemed like Donovan brought these rogues with him – making sure that it would be their plan to get her… again.But then, Donovan wasn’t expecting that Leila already got her wolf back.“Mom…” Leila uttered weakly – the very moment she had made sure that Darcel is already sound asleep.Sheila stared at her – then, let out a deep sigh.They walked towards the hallway – leaving Darcel for the meantime inside his room.Everything was settled quickly – and that some of the rogues were already captured and Hector and the betas were trying to get information from them.Now, she was more concerned about her younger brother. She couldn’t believe that he ha

Reader’s discretion is advised. Thank you.***Hunter was with Hector – already discussing something about the pack.He overheard Hector talking about the pack’s situation about the border or something – and he decided to come with him.Hector even tried to assure him that everything is fine, but Hunter wanted to come with him – so she had no other choice but to let him go.She might be a bit worried that he was still in the process of healing – and yet, here he was, already working again. However, she knew that he had to do something.He was a workaholic and dedicated person. Even when they haven’t met yet. She knew that, e
Chapter 148Son***“Are you sure that you are fine now?” Leila worriedly asked – as Hunter decided to walk around the mansion after they had their breakfast.Hunter gave her a reassuring smile.Then, he planted a soft kiss on her temple. She couldn’t stop herself from blushing profusely at his uncalled sweetness towards her.“I am fine now. You are my medicine, right? Besides, Uncle Bob said that I have to exercise. And walking is one of it.” He replied boyishly and even winked at her.Leila couldn’t help but chuckle at his playful remarks.“By the way… I heard that you went to the South. It is Tamika who told you about the cure?” Hunter inquired curiously – as they were walking just around the mansion.Leila looked at the pavement – then, she let out a deep sigh.“Well, I have no othe

Reader’s discretion is advised. Thank you.***It was all pitch black.Leila couldn’t see anything – the very moment she opened her eyes.She walked and tried looking for Hunter – but she didn’t know where she was going. All that she did was to walk endlessly in the middle of darkness. Until she finally saw some light.Leila walked towards it – and she finally saw Hunter.However, she became weaker and weaker – as she tried reaching his hands.And everything went black.***It was all that Leila remembered before she lost consciousness.And when she opened her eyes –
Chapter 146Appeared***“Are you sure about this, Leila?” Myrtle asked her worriedly.She was looking at her – like she was weighing down her decision.It was what she looked up to when it came to talking to Myrtle. She was too sensitive to everyone’s feelings. She didn’t know whether it was because of her pregnancy – or was it because she was like that as a person.Whatever it was, she was just grateful that there was someone who could see right through her now – even though she was trying so hard to contain her emotions.And deep inside, she didn’t know whether it was a good thing or not – because it was stirring up emotions that she was trying to hide inside.Leila could only let out a deep sigh – and gave her a small smile.A few more minutes and she would officially be Hunter’s wife.Yes.
