Chapter 51

Warmth

***

Leila didn’t know how long she had let herself being caged inside Hunter’s embrace. But she loved it there. In fact, she wanted to stay there forever.

Hunter took away her fears – as he gave her that tight and warm hug.

She didn’t know how he appeared in her room – but there was one thing that she was sure of, she was not alone this time.

Leila remembered that whenever she had a nightmare, she was always alone. She couldn’t even tell it to her own mother. She would always deal it with herself… in the middle of darkness.

But this time, she had Hunter.

And it was enough for her to doze off – and felt the serenity inside his arms.

***

Hunter let out a deep sigh as he looked at Leila’s innocent face. He wiped the tears left in her cheeks – making her groan a bit. He smiled.

However, it instantly faded when he realized what happened to her before he came in her room.

*** Flashback…

He and Hector needed to do something that their parents asked them to do before they lef

    Chapter 52Aftermath***Leila moaned as she stretched her arms – but she took an abrupt stop when she felt a presence. She slowly opened her eyes – as she took a peek beside her.But she couldn’t stop herself from shrieking – the moment she saw Hunter’s sleeping face beside her.She absentmindedly kicked him out of her bed. Then, she covered herself with her own sheets. Her heart was pounding so hard inside her chest.Leila swallowed the lump in her throat – as she heard Hunter groaned, causing her to feel a bit guilty because of what she did.“What the hell!” Hunter skreiched – a bit annoyed because of falling to the floor.She was just so shocked… and bewildered – as she stood up near her window, just near her bed.‘What happened? Why is he here?’ She mentally thought – as she saw Hunter got up from the floor.Leila swallowed hard once again.“Y-You! What are y-you doing here?!” She exclaimed all of a sudden.Hunter looked at her – like she had grown some horns on her neck.Then, he

    Chapter 53Talk***Leila was just so happy that whatever fear and pain she felt and experienced in her nightmares flew away. Hunter calmed her heart and mind. And even though she was a bit disappointed that he wasn’t around last night – she was glad that she had him right now.He soothed her troubled heart.He kissed her pains.He shielded her from melancholy.She was humming as she walked towards the kitchen. She didn’t want to entertain the negative and lonely thoughts about her nightmares.Well, at least for now.She simply wanted to prepare breakfast for Hunter.Leila decided to prepare a fast and easy cooked meal yet delicious and healthy.It was a good thing that she didn’t cook some of the meat the hunters had yesterday. Well, she wanted to – but Myrtle had a better plan, just in case the two couldn’t join them at dinner. And she guessed it right.Perhaps, it wasn’t the first time that Hector ditched her. It seemed like she knew that it might happen. And it did. However, it was

Reader’s discretion is advised. Thank you.***Hunter was having a great time with Leila.And he was planning to build a house for them and for their future already. Especially that Myrtle and Hector were always ruining their moment.However, seeing Leila’s smiles, he just couldn’t stop himself from being happy and contented, too.Besides, it might not be a good idea to propose to her.Yes.He was already thinking about it.But for what was happening right now, maybe he still needed to focus on their responsibility for the pack. Maybe when their parents arrived, he could plan for it already.Besides, they were still investigating something. He couldn’t let Leila by herself. Even Myrtle. It was a good thing that they have together. And Myrtle was training her, too when he wasn’t around.It would be better for her. He

    Chapter 55Flowers***On the Moon Howlers Pack community, Leila laughed as she found herself enjoying Myrtle’s company who ignored his husband’s offer to come with him at his office.Hector is still the acting Alpha of the pack, and he was just so busy.“I will just be bored. Just go on… I will stay here.” Myrtle stubbornly retorted back – making her giggle silently.Hector couldn’t do anything but scratch his head and walked away with his sulked face.It was a good thing for her though – but not as good for Hector. And it was just so funny as she stared at the two bicker a bit a while ago.Well, it was better for her though – especially that Hunter is just so busy, too. He told her that he still has to talk to Butler Henry. And since she was in the mood, she let him do his thing first.Besides, she was so attentive to Myrtle’s stories. It was about Hunter. And she was just so interested in hearing all of it.“Hunter… He is really so caring. Even though he is cold and distant – alway

    Chapter 56Danger***“This is getting so serious.” Hector commented critically – as he looked at Hunter, who seemed to be thinking the same thing as him.Right after they had eaten their sumptuous dinner a while ago with Myrtle and Leila, they have gone towards Elder Hudson to talk about the ominous situation happening near their border.It was getting out of hand – and they have to take a step.They couldn’t talk about it in front of the two women – especially that they knew it would certainly make them worry. And they don’t want that to happen. They wanted them to always be at ease.However, because of what was happening now, they both think that it would be impossible to keep this a secret. They have to make sure to make a solution to this. They didn’t want anything to escalate – but how?They don’t even know who the heck is behind this.The hunters as well as the sentinel wolves were doubled just to find out what the hell is happening. But they couldn’t find anything – not even a

Reader’s discretion is advised. Thank you.***“What the f*cking hell…” Hector commented darkly – as they arrived near the border where the dead bodies were located.He couldn’t believe that someone could do something as morbid as this.He might say that it was something that a sane member of the any pack could do something like this. And if that’s the case, they should be very careful.“We found these bodies when we changed our shifts, Master Hector.” One of the sentinel wolves guarding that spot reported seriously.It seemed like whoever did this, they knew when they could go through the border.Hunter gave Hector a meaningful glare. And it looked like they were thinking the same thing.“We ordered you to make sure that you have tightened the security near the border, right? What happened?” Hector inquired darkly –

They have to continue talking about addressing the problem – especially the one that happened near their border.But it looked like Elder Howard simply wanted them to stay put and wait for their parents to arrive.

    Chapter 59Genuine***“What happened to you? Are you okay?” It was Leila’s voice that made him look around.Her brows burrowed – as she looked at him with pure concern.Then, Hunter’s face slightly turned a bit gentler. However, that doesn’t change the fact that she already saw his expression a while ago. He was caught off guard that he hadn’t noticed her and Myrtle immediately.Hunter swallowed hard as Myrtle gave them a teasing smile – like what Elder Howard and Hector did a while back – then, she just nodded at them before she proceeded towards the mansion.Hunter couldn’t even tell her about her grandfather because all of his attention was with Leila already.Especially when she put her hand in his forehead – as if checking whether he was fine or not.Hunter swallowed hard.Volts of electricity travelled in his veins with just short skin to skin contact – and it was something that only Leila could do to him. It was her effect on him – and it was making his inner wolf get frantic

    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.
