Chapter: She wasn’t invisible to himAbigail was about to step into the function hall, satisfied that no more guests were arriving, when movement near the entrance caught her eye.A young girl, no older than fifteen, was cornered by two boys her age. They circled her like predators, their mocking laughter carrying in the night air. The girl clutched a small purse to her chest, her shoulders hunched as if she could fold herself out of existence. Thick glasses slipped down her nose, and her wild, curly hair only gave the boys more ammunition.“Look at her,” one jeered, tugging at a curl and letting it snap back. “She looks like she stuck her finger in a socket!”The other snickered and pushed her lightly on the shoulder so she stumbled back. “Nerd. Did you borrow your grandmother’s glasses for tonight?”The girl’s lips trembled, but she said nothing. Her fists clenched around her purse strap, knuckles white, as she stared at the ground.Ab

Heads turned instantly, including those of several curious guests. His presence was undeniable—confident, magnetic—and in the sharp lines of his suit, he looked every bit the man who commanded attention.“You finally showed up,” Laylah exclaimed, her eyes blazing. “Look at you—so polished, so handsome—while your wife is left here greeting strangers. What on earth are you thinking, Edward? And making her Chloe’s secretary? Have you completely lost your mind?”“Laylah—” Abigail murmured, gently grasping her arm to calm her.Edward didn’t flinch. His expression remained composed, as though he had expected this confrontation the moment Laylah discovered Chloe was back.“No, don’t stop me,” Laylah snapped, shaking her head. “This man needs

Clearly, a lot of thought went into it.”A journalist approached Chloe, who was busy greeting guests with effortless grace.The Ulrick Jewels Gala had drawn prominent businessmen, reporters, and socialites alike. Everyone was captivated by the shimmering displays, the evening resembling more an exhibition than a celebration.Every entry from the design competition, starting from the preliminary rounds, was presented for the guests.

Please, look forward to it,” Chloe replied smoothly.

Chapter: The reason I could finally recognize real love“Edward.”The soft murmur drew him from the haze of exhaustion. His head had been resting against the edge of her bed, his hand still clasped around hers. He hadn’t meant to fall asleep there, but after days of silence, of watching her from afar, it was the only way he could bear to stay close.Abigail blinked, disoriented at first, then saw him—her husband, head bowed beside her, fingers wrapped tightly around her own. A week had passed without seeing him. He hadn’t called, hadn’t asked about her health, hadn’t cared if she was eating. He’d vanished into his so-called business trip, leaving her to collapse before he finally came back.“Edward,” she whispered again, lifting her free hand toward his hair. But she froze when his eyes snapped open and met hers. For a heartbeat, they just stared, breath caught in the fragile silence between them.Then Edward straightened, withdrawing his hand as if he’d been caught.“What were you thinking?” His voice cracked with anger and fear. “Starvin

Chapter: Was she thinking of me, or of him“So, she made it to the final round,” Edward murmured, eyes fixed on the report in his hands.The second phase of Ulrick Jewels’ design competition had ended, and the results were clear: Abigail had advanced. Out of dozens of contenders, only ten remained. At the Gala Night, their final creations would be revealed — and from them, two would be chosen to join the elite Ulrick Jewels design team.“Just like in the first round, Abigail’s design received an overwhelming number of votes,” Roen reported. He stood at a measured distance, watching as Edward silently studied the document. “It seems many people are drawn to her work.”Edward didn’t respond, his eyes scanning the page with unreadable focus.Roen, however, felt the unease rising in his chest. Why is Edward avoiding Abigail? For days, his boss had kept his distance, even lying to her — claiming a business trip. Roen had thought the couple was finally finding their footing, perhaps even softening toward each other. But now, Edward

Chapter: The farther he ran, the more he risked losing her for realIt was still dark when Edward stirred awake. Beside him, Abigail slept soundly, her arm draped across him. Careful not to wake her, he gently shifted free and rose from the bed. His steps carried him to her desk, where papers and pencils lay scattered. A half-finished sketch caught his eye.Edward froze.The design was unmistakable: The Ouroboros—a serpent devouring its own tail. He knew it as a symbol of eternity, but here, in Abigail’s hand, it whispered something else. The self-consuming nature of love. A circle that never breaks, even when the relationship ends. Memories looping endlessly, fragments that refuse to fade.His hand curled into a fist. For the first time, jealousy struck him with brutal force.Edward knew of Abigail’s past with James—their relationship, their near-marriage. He had accepted it as something long over. But seeing it expressed in her design was a wound he hadn’t expected. The sketch spoke louder than words. It told him that James had been her first love—a

Becoming the Demon Alpha's Bride
Zen is known as the feared leader of the Astral Guardians, a group of Alphas revered as the peacekeepers. His reputation isn't just because he hails from the renowned Silver Luminaries Pack, but also due to his fierce nature and intelligence. Enemies shudder at the thought of facing him, thanks to his exceptional combat skills. He's also a master tactician and strategist. However, beneath his fame lies a dark secret—he is not a natural-born Alpha. Hunter is the sole survivor of an experiment, a fact known only to his adoptive father.
Despite his widespread acclaim, questions linger about Zen. People wonder why he remains unbonded, as he is the last child of the Silver Luminaries' leader without a mate. Zen disregards this, believing an artificial Alpha like him is unlikely to form a mate bond. This changes when he meets Aleah De Luna, the granddaughter of his father's friend, who arranges to marry him. From their first meeting, Zen understands why his family chose Aleah—she is weak and wolfless, a total outcast in the Guevarra family.
Initially, Zen accepts the marriage to honor his father's wishes and repay his debt of gratitude for raising him. But when he discovers that Aleah is his fated mate and witnesses her near-death experience, Zen cannot bear to see her in danger. Determined to protect her, he vows to reject her as his mate. This decision brings forth the greatest challenge he has ever faced, far more daunting than any battle. Even his Demon Alpha persona cannot withstand the charisma of Aleah.

Chapter: Forever Wrapped Around YouThe Hunter family arrived at the Guevarra Hotel. The twins immediately ran to their grandparents, who joyfully welcomed them with open arms. The old couple couldn’t help but smile, seeing how energetic the kids were. After greeting their grandpa, the twins ran off to join the other kids playing with Isaac. Meanwhile, Aleah and Hunter walked up to the grandparents. “Glad you didn’t take on a mission today,” Damian said to Hunter as they approached. “It wouldn’t feel right to miss this. We don’t have family gatherings every day,” Sebastian added. He then turned his attention to Aleah. “Aleah, dear, you look pale. Are you feeling okay?” He looked at her with concern. “I’m fine. Just a bit tired,” Aleah replied with a faint smile. “It’s probably because you’re running your own law firm,” Damian said, shaking his head. “I told you, you could work with the Guevarra legal team instead. You’d be helping Zane manage the business too.” “I said the same thing to Zen before, but she didn’t l

Chapter: Little Hands, Big HeartsAleah stirred awake, the sterile white walls of the hospital room slowly coming into focus. The last thing she remembered was being outside the Public Attorney's Office, and now... nothing. She felt a wave of dizziness and an unsettling blank space where her memory should have been. "You're awake," Claire said softly, stepping closer to her bedside. "Claire?" Aleah blinked in confusion, sitting upright with effort. "What's going on? Where’s Shin? How long was I out?" Her voice rose as she tried to stand, urgency filling her movements. "We were supposed to have dinner with the twins!" "Stop. Just rest, Aleah," Claire said, gently holding her cousin in place. "Do you even realize what's happening to your body?" Claire's voice held a mix of concern and frustration. "This isn’t the first time—you seriously don’t feel anything’s off?" "I just thought I was tired from all the cases I've been handling," Aleah replied, shaking her head lightly. "I even told Zen I’d rest when I got home."

Chapter: Guarded by Love"Good morning!” Aleah greeted Hunter and their twins as she walked into the dining room and saw her family already seated. She leaned over to kiss Hunter on the cheek, then moved to kiss the twins on their heads. “You’re up early,” she chuckled, glancing at the messy kitchen before turning back to Hunter. Hunter simply shrugged and smiled at his wife. “We made breakfast for Mama!” the twins exclaimed in unison, proudly showing off the pancakes they’d made. Their faces were still dusted with flour, evidence of their culinary adventure. “And what’s this all over your faces? You look like little kittens,” Aleah laughed as she wiped the flour off their cheeks. “They insisted on waking up early to make you breakfast,” Hunter said, getting up from his seat and walking over to her. “Take a seat and eat. I’ll drop you off after this,” he added, pulling out her chair for her. “No work today?” Aleah asked, raising a brow at her husband. “I’ll be fine. I’ll head straight to the headquarter

Chapter: Against the TidesClad in just his black shirt and pants, he sprinted to the edge of the ship and dove into the water before anyone could stop him. “What the hell is he doing?!” Rafael and Charles exclaimed in unison, watching in disbelief. Before they could react further, gunshots rang out from the small boat. Rafael quickly shielded Hunter’s daughter while Charles drew his gun, firing back at their attackers. Samuel and Michael joined in, their aim precise. One by one, the two men on the boat were hit, falling lifelessly into the water. “Is everyone okay?” Charles asked, scanning their group after the chaos ended. Rafael, along with Samuel and Michael, emerged from their cover, nodding. Some of the remaining kidnappers’ men had been taken down in the crossfire. The tension hung thick in the air, but there was still hope as all eyes turned toward the water where Hunter had disappeared. “We’re okay,” Rafael said as he caught his breath. The team reached the boat, but there was still no sign of Hu

Chapter: Rescue in the DepthsThe helicopter's radar locked onto the kidnappers' ship. The sun had set, and darkness cloaked the area, with a thick mist adding to the cover. It was the perfect moment for Hunter's team to infiltrate unnoticed. They rappelled down from the helicopter and slipped onto the ship, taking out guards one by one with precision. But the ship was massive, and finding Hunter's daughter was proving to be a challenge.As they approached a cabin, the door swung open, and there stood the kidnapper, holding Hunter's daughter tightly."Papa!" the little girl cried out, her voice trembling.The man smirked. "Impressive, Alpha Hunter. But you're late to the party. Too bad for you." He glanced at the girl. "Your dad's terrible at games, isn't he?"Hunter's eyes narrowed as he studied the man. "Do I know you?" he asked, his tone sharp but calm.The kidnapper laughed bitterly. "Seriously, Alpha? You don’t remember me? Typical. But let me remind you—I hold your daug

Chapter: The Rescue Mission"Zen, what happened?" Sebastian asked as Hunter came back to the mansion with Rafael, Charles, and Joyril. They noticed Aleah and one of the twins weren’t with them. Hunter’s face looked drained, his shoulders sagged. It was getting dark, and nobody had a clue where to start looking for Aleah and their child. The kidnapper still hadn’t contacted them."Is he okay?" Claire asked as she walked over to Rafael. Everyone watched as Hunter sank into the sofa, leaning his head against the backrest. The whole room went quiet, eyes fixed on him, trying to gauge what he'd do or say next. To them, he was like a ticking time bomb waiting to go off.“Papa?” A small voice cut through the silence. It was the young boy stepping closer to Hunter. All eyes turned to him, the only one brave enough to approach the Alpha. Hunter opened his eyes the moment he heard his son’s voice, adjusted his posture, and looked at him. He had no idea how to tell his boy th
