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!”Someone was calling her name.She looked around – hoping to see who it was.Even though Leila had already a hunch about who it was.“Leila…”There it was again. And it was getting louder and louder. This time, she was sure.She could hear her father calling her name.“D-Dad…” She wanted to say out loud – but she couldn’t.Her lips seemed to be glued together – as if she couldn’t say anything even if she wanted to.“Leila!”There was it… again. For the nth time – she closed her eyes firmly.Then, she heard a loud and eerie growling sound – echoing in the depths of the forest.Leila shivered down her spine. Her legs started to tremble – as she felt palms turning cold. Bullet of sweat started to gather in her forehead – as she tried looking around for her father.She
Chapter 72Unanswered***“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

It was as if she vanishe
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…

It was what Hunter only told her a while ago. He was trying to be secretive about it.Actually, he was doing a great job at that. She really didn’t know where they were going. He simply asked him to go out with him and have a date – and that’s all.And of course,
