Thank you.***Leila woke up with a terrible headache and it became worst when she smelled the rotten stench around her. She almost wanted to puke at that.‘Damn it!’ She commented inside her head – as she caught herself in heavy breathing.She tried her best to open her heavy lids – as she gritted her teeth because she couldn’t even do that easily. She closed her eyes again firmly – trying to gather her sane thoughts.‘What happened? Where the heck am I?’ She mentally asked herself.She felt so dizzy – as she tried collecting her own thoughts. Then, she realized that she was in Tammy’s house when someone knocked her out by making her smell something so strong before she went out of consciousness.‘That might be some sort of a drug. But why?’ Leila inquired once again, bewildered.She

Thank you.***Leila gritted her teeth – as she tried to pull her arms away from the two men who seemed to be unreliable and quite dangerous. She could feel so unsafe with them. Well, she couldn’t blame herself for thinking that way. Based on the way they dress – to the way they look at her.“Stop wriggling or you will not want what I’ll do next…” The man with huge and bulky body said.She just gave them a deadly glare.Even if she wanted to say a thing, she couldn’t. Her lips were taped. It was because of talking too much a while ago.Leila couldn’t stop getting annoyed because of

Thank you.***A loud bark of laughter resonated once again. It was laced with so much mockery – that if she was in different situation, she would certainly feel offended and punched the hell of this guy.However, she wasn’t in the position to do that now.Unfortunately, she does not have the upper hand right now. So, all that she could do was to grit her teeth and suppress the lingering emotions that she couldn’t comprehend anymore. She pursed her lips together – as she bit her tongue.The masked man continued walking towards her. Even though she wanted to kick his *ss, she couldn’t because she was still cuffed.“Relax, Leila… You look so… tensed.” The eerie man commented insultingly.This time, she couldn’t stop herself from speaking already.“What do you want?”She was a bit shocked a
Chapter 87Luna***“They say, ‘don’t make decisions when you are mad, or you might regret it in the near future.’ Have you ever thought of that, Leila?” It was Silver’s voice that seemed to be trying to give her litany.Leila pursed her lips together.Her words were the same exact words that her conscience was telling her, too.She let out a deep sigh – as she looked around the place.It was extravagant and complete with amenities. She had her own bathroom, vanity table, and huge dresser. There was a study table just below the huge, old window. In the center of the room was a light gray and black furry, soft carpet. At the center ceiling there was a huge and profligate chandelier.This is something that she wasn’t expecting to.However, she knew why she was given this kind of treatment now.A servant omega had served her, too a while ago. She had to dismiss her for her to be able to move freely inside her room. She was not used to having someone serving her. She could do it herself.

Thank you.***“Just stick to the plan…” A familiar voice from the dark resonated – causing the masked man to look towards a familiar man hiding in the shadows.He swallowed hard.This wasn’t his first time seeing him. But he would always be hiding in shadows. It was as if his whole face, eerie, white and black mask wasn’t enough for him to hide himself.However, he was just too intimidating – even if he couldn’t see his face.“Don’t overstep your boundaries… Just get yourself your Luna… Just end your plan by getting Leila Mercado – and leave those fil
Chapter 89News***Through the depths of the woods, there was a heart filled with so much fire – as he tried to find the love of his life.‘I should not have let her go…’ Those words kept on playing inside his mind – like a broken stereo.“Are you sure that it was all that she could go? Where the heck is she then? She might be in your house by now.” He seriously told Tamika – who was thinking deeply as they took a swift rest in the barn.They went to possible places – which he couldn’t believe existing. Even her small house wasn’t visible if not for her – when he was with her. He was curious and confused – but then, Leila’s whereabouts was more important for him now rather than anything he was curious of.Tamika finally stood up.“We have to go back to my house.” She said
Chapter 90Found***Silence.It was one of the things that he hated the most now.Especially the deafening silence that was filling his ears.If not from the crickets around – this might be too creepier for everyone.However, for the time being he had to embrace the silence – for it was the only way he would now what was happening.‘Are you really here, Leila? I hope that you are not…’ A huge part of him was hoping that everything that he heard wasn’t all true.He looked around – making sure that they were still hidden in the middle of darkness.The place was already disturbing – and he couldn’t believe that the Triad had managed to hide in this place. They were pretty clever for hiding in this very secluded place.Who would have thought that they were close to their pack?Hunter let ou
Chapter 91Heartbreak***‘L-Leila…’Hunter was confused – as his mind was fighting with his heart screaming in pain.This was something that he had to settle aside for now.He tried to calm his mind – as well as his inner wolf – from screaming that she betrayed him.It wasn’t easy – when all that was running in his mind was pure anger and betrayal. It wasn’t helping him when Tracker, his inner wolf, was also wanting to take over him.He gritted his teeth – as he clenched his hands into balled fists.‘No… She couldn’t do this… She won’t join these people. She won’t join the Triad…’ He tried to reason out – as he found himself waiting for the right time to get in.This is the only chance that he got – and he only have a lesser time before Hector discover what he had done.He had to make sure to talk to Leila. He had to clear things with her.However, he knew that this might be the end of everything between them. And if it did – the least that he knew was the fact that he had done every
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

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
