Chapter 69

Truth

***

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

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

Even though she knew that her wound was a bit deep and there was a lot of blood.“Don’t worry, this is just a small cut.” Tamika explained without any trace of emotion at all!Leila pursed her lips together – as she went towards her.“Just a small cut?! Look at your hand!” She uttered in pure disbelief.However, before she could even get closer to her – her feet stopped.She inwardly shook her head.‘No… I shouldn’t trust her… Not yet… Or simply…

    Chapter 75Old***After those simple talks with Tamika, Leila didn’t know how to react. She didn’t even know how to face her the next day.She didn’t even know how to interact with her.***“Sometimes it is better to share things with stranger. That way the lesser the person knows who you are, the better. There would be lesser judgment. Don’t you think, Leila?”***Those were the words from Tamika before she finally left her in the kitchen.Leila felt like everything that she heard from Tamika – were all meant for her. It was as if even though she didn’t share anything to her, she already knew. And as if she was telling her that she was not there to judge her – but to understand her.It was one thing that she was hoping for.Someone that would hear her pain.Besides, she couldn’t tell all of those to her mother. She had no one beside her. She had no one whom she could lean on nor be her crying buddy. No one could even listen to her stories… her pains… her side.Not until she found he

It might be really true that looks could really be deceiving – and that odd words could come from someone you less expect to come from.Then, she shook her head as she smiled without humor.Leila looked at her with her cold and serious expression. Her dark brown eyes turned a bit darker – almost close to black.And right there and then, Tammy could feel the seething anger from her.“Kindness? Love? The old Leila?” She sardonically said those words – as if it was something so disappointing and disgusting.Then, she chuckled without humor – and shook her head once again. It was as if she couldn’t believe what she heard from her. It was as if she could hear something so ridiculous – but it was something that she could be annoyed for.“You must be joking, Tamika.” She uttered in pure irritation – as she gave emphasis to each and every word.This ti

However, it was just so shocking to know.Leila took a deep breath – as she tried to process her thoughts.“I know that it is hard to believe… But I am… And I know what situation you are into…” Tammy stated seriously – as if she was completely trying to persuade her.But Leila slightly shook her head. She gave her an unbelievable look – it was as if she had her own thoughts, disagreeing with her.“You see the future… And you let them… You are just too kind, Tamika…” She uttered coldly.However, Tammy shook her head.“I can’t see my future, Leila… And all I can do is to be kind… There will never be wrong in being kind…” She contradicted – causing her to groan in annoyance.Then, she smirked at her.“There will never be wrong in being kind… That’s a ridiculous thinking, Tammy.” She said – emphasizing h

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?

    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

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.
