Chapter 48
Sweet
***
Leila still felt that heaviness in her heart.
She had learned more about Hunter.
And now, this.
She didn’t know what the heck her dream was all about.
No.
For her, it wasn’t a simple dream but it was a nightmare.
And it was something that she couldn’t understand.
Leila let out a deep sigh as she decided to get up from her bed and cook for breakfast instead.
It’s still early. And she didn’t know whether Hunter and Hector arrived already but she was in the mood to cook breakfast.
Especially after that.
Even though Myrtle have already told her to leave it to the servant omegas but she had no other thing to do.
She needed some diversion.
And cooking is one of the best diversions.
Well, it should be baking but since she was short of ingredients, she would resort to cooking for the meantime.
Then, she realized that she could do it later if she had some berries.
Her excitement grew as she was thinking of baking some tarts later. Her stomach growled at the thought of it.
Those thoughts and plans had occupied her mind as she was trying to stop thinking about her dream.
However, the moment she saw her bed, a glimpse of it suddenly flashed on her mind.
***
Her hands automatically flew to cover her mouth and stop herself from creating any sound. That was the only time she could see her hands.
Those were so small like…
She held her face…
Her mind was in chaos.
***
And she continuously asking for someone o calling for someone.
Did that happen when she was still young?
Is that a part of the memories that were gone?
But why?
She couldn’t understand what it was.
It was as if it happened in her past which she knew there was a huge possibility that it might be but she didn’t know what it was.
And it was frustrating the heck of her.
Leila let out a deep sigh as she focused herself in preparing breakfast. She wanted to divert her mind from all of those questions.
It happened before.
After the ritual that converted her into a werewolf. But it wasn’t as vivid as her dream now. It was as if something had triggered, and it came out prompting her unconscious mind.
Her mind was drifting away when she entered the kitchen. She was absentmindedly preparing the vegetables when her eyes went to the dining table.
“Oh, my goodness!” She uttered in shock.
Her lips parted apart as her hand flew to her chest.
“H-Hunter!” She called his name in surprise as she suddenly felt so unconscious.
‘Damn it! I should have dried my hair first. I don’t even powder my face!’ Leila mentally thought in the middle of her panic spree.
“A-Are you… Are you…” Leila foolishly stated but she couldn’t even finish her sentence.
She cursed inside her head as she felt her cheeks flushed because of embarrassment.
To be honest, she was just so happy and excited that Hunter is here.
But, on the other hand, she was also so ashamed because she didn’t know what to do and how to react.
‘Damn! Get a grip of yourself, girl!’ Leila mentally pushed herself to be able to stay calm and collected.
She didn’t want Hunter to get turned off just because of what she was doing.
Leila let out a deep sigh her head as she smiled at him.
Hunter chuckled as he put his hand in front of his lips, covering his smug smirk.
Leila’s eyes widened in an exaggerated way and she didn’t even know about it. However, that only made Hunter chuckled a bit louder this time.
Her lips parted apart as she ogled at him.
‘Hunter… He is smiling! No! He is giggling at her! Because of her!’ Those thoughts lingered in her mind like it was her greatest achievement in life.
But it also gave her some sense of entitlement.
Imagine, she had made Hunter happy.
She unconsciously smiled at that thought.
“You want more coffee?” Leila asked Hunter all of a sudden.
Her lips stretched into a sweet smile as she offered him some coffee.
Hunter smilingly nodded his head.
However, the moment she put the teapot on the table after putting some on his mug Hunter suddenly pulled her causing her to fall into his lap!
“H-Hunter!” She called his name as she consciously looked around.
Although at the back of her mind, she was already so hyped up with everything that was happening.
It seemed like Hunter was in good mood today.
She was happy for him.
After reminiscing about what Butler Henry told her she realized that she had taken him for granted. Her thoughts about Hunter flew the moment she experienced struggles. Even though she knew that he had this special place in her heart, still she had also taken him for granted.
Leila realized that she had been through a lot like Hunter but on the other hand, Hunter was always there for her.
She realized everything that he had done for her.
“Someone might see us…” Leila whispered shyly.
Hunter’s left brow shot upwards.
“And?” He challenged her to continue his words.
“You are my girl. This is natural.” Hunter shamelessly declared causing her to look at him with awe.
She blinked her eyes like she was trying to make sure that she wasn’t dreaming.
Then, she did the unexpected.
She held Hunter’s cheeks and then pinched it hardly.
“Ouch! Damn! What was that for?!” Hunter groaned in pain and she couldn’t stop but to feel guilty about it.
She caressed his now slightly pinkish cheeks.
“I… I am sorry. I just want to make sure that this is not a dream.” Leila stated dearly then, she pouted her lips.
Hunter swallowed hard and without warning, he claimed her lips.
Leila opened her mouth and accepted him fully.
Now, this was her morning greeting.
However, she immediately pushed Hunter when someone cleared his throat. But Hunter didn’t let her go. She swallowed hard as she looked around.
Her eyes widened as her cheeks flushed turning bright red because of pure embarrassment.
“What an early morning.” Hector commented while his left brow shot upwards.
Beside him is Myrtle who was grinning at them teasingly from ear to ear.
“Stop doing it and just prepare breakfast. I am starving…” Hector stated like his mood turned a bit sour because of what he saw.
But Myrtle nudged him causing him to murmur, ‘ouch!’
“Just… Just go on. We don’t see anything. Take your time. We will be back after thirty minutes. Continue your sweetness, lovers!” Myrtle playfully stated before pulling her husband away from the kitchen.
Leila swallowed hard.
“B-But…” She was about to stop them but her embarrassment was already stopping her.
Then, she looked at Hunter and she thought she just wanted to melt right there and then.
He was looking at her like she was the only woman for him.
Damn it!
“I… I have to prepare some breakfast…” It came as a whisper as she was unable to decide whether it was what she wanted to do or not.
Hunter was making her head spin crazily.
Every sensation inside her suddenly became so active that all that she wanted was to stay there… in his lap.
‘Oh, my goodness! This is making me insane…’ Leila commented inside her head.
“Just give me a minute…” Hunter suddenly whispered causing her lips to ajar.
And without ado, he claimed her lips like it was the sweetest thing he ever tasted. And all that she could do was to return the favor.
“Damn it! I don’t think I could ever get enough of you…” Hunter murmured sensually as he rested his forehead on her shoulder after their long and lingering kiss.
Leila bit her lower lip.
And so does she.
