Leila felt like everything was slowly crumbling down right in front of her very eyes.
Especially when she finally saw her mother… full of tears inside the prison cell.
She chose to be in the prison cell with her – well, before the servant omegas, who were left to serve Donovan, finally get her out of there to prepare for the upcoming wedding.
“L-Leila…” Her mother called her name brokenly.
She wanted to break down in front of her, too. But she wouldn’t. She couldn’t. She had to stay strong. So, she immediately blinked the tears that were slowly blurring 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.
Chapter 145Only Way****** Five days later…Hector had already prepared everything.After what happened to them in the South, he still couldn’t believe that there could be something unexplainable that might happen.He tried finding out information about what happened – but the betas and even the spies have gathered nothing.It was as if it simply vanished into thin air – and that all that they could do now was to wait. Well, they don’t have any other choice anyway.They did what Tamika said five days ago. And it seemed like she was right. The medicine she gave was simply to delay the poison – and won’t be able to cure Hunter and Rego.He was so desperate now – and was hoping that they could finally treat Hunter and Rego.Donovan is still nowhere to be found – which was quietly annoying him.They didn’t know how he could still be at large – even u
Chapter 144Doomed***It was a solid proof plan.However, they have already arrived at the South – but still there was no sign of Donovan.Leila didn’t know whether it was a good thing or not.All that she knew was she could finally help Hunter.Her forehead creased as she stepped out of the carriage.Tamika was already in front of her doorway – as if she was already waiting for her.Hector and his beta, Lio – as well as four of the seven betas of the Moon Howlers Pack seemed to be so fascinated about the fact that there was really a small house in the depths of the South.“Tammy…” Leila called her – but Lio instantly blocked her way before she could even take another step from the carriage.Leila stared at him with her brows furrowed.However, Lio simply looked at Hector – who simply nodded his
Chapter 143Verge***“Did you find him?!”Leila heard Hector asked his beta – as they arrived at the Moon Howlers Pack.Uncle Bob and Doc Fridger were already trying to stop the poison, and she had a small basin on her hands. She had to get some water and bring it back to Hunter’s room – when she heard Hector yelling in pure annoyance.“I am sorry, Master. But Donovan escaped again.” Lio, his beta, replied in pure irritation, too.Everyone is already too mad at Donovan – especially after what happened to Hunter.She even heard that even their parents were now in the middle of searching the vast forest – just to find Donovan.Leila continued her tracks towards the sink to get some water.“I think there is someone else that was trying to help him. We found this near the place where we last saw him.”

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

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
