"What’s going on here?" Kimberly blurted out as she stepped into Hunter’s room, her eyes landing on him and Aleah, who was busy tidying up. Hunter was already on his feet, dressed, and looking surprisingly well.

"You were sick last night! Why are you up already? You need rest," Kimberly said, rushing over to him and placing her hand on his forehead. Aleah glanced at Kimberly briefly, then quickly shifted her gaze elsewhere.

Bold of her, Aleah thought, a hint of amusement in her mind. She didn’t even hesitate to step in and fuss over him while I’m here. Treating him like he’s fragile.

"I’m fine," Hunter said, flashing a small smile. "My fever’s gone, and I slept great last night." His gaze shifted to Kimberly, who met his eyes. Aleah felt her heart skip as Kimberly looked her way, catching her off guard. Memories of last night flashed through Aleah’s mind—falling asleep in each other's arms—and her cheeks turn

  • Becoming the Demon Alpha's Bride   Danger at the Gate

    "Glad you’re here together," Rafael said as they walked into the house. Rafael, Charles, and Trisha were at home, catching up after dinner with Damian and Sebastian. They had all headed back to their place in the compound, and everyone seemed happy to see them together."Finally out and about, Alpha Hunter! Good for you," Trisha said with a grin."Totally agree. Another day there and I’d have gone stir-crazy," Hunter said, shaking his head. "Where’s everyone else?" he asked."Joyril and Carlos are finishing stuff up at the base," Trisha replied. "Michael, Jeremy, and Joyril are at the hospital. They’re playing bodyguards for Dr. Stuart right now," she added."Great, good to know," Hunter said. His thoughts were interrupted by his phone ringing. When he answered, Michael's voice came through the line, telling him Kimberly was missing. She’d been taken by strangers, and despite following them, they’d lost track of her.&ldqu

  • Becoming the Demon Alpha's Bride   Soul bound in Chaos

    Hunter's group had been searching for Kimberly when suddenly, his phone rang. Kimberly's voice came through, shaky and broken, with muffled sobs between words. “I... I’m at a telephone booth...” she managed to say before the call dropped.When Hunter finally reached the booth, his breath hitched. “Kimberly?” he called out in shock, seeing her slumped inside. Bruises marked her face and body, her clothes were torn—it was obvious she'd been through hell. Without a second thought, he shrugged off his long-sleeved shirt and draped it over her shivering frame.“What happened to you?” he asked, crouching to her level. His voice wavered, trying to mask his worry.“Zen!” Kimberly cried out, her arms flinging around Hunter’s neck. He froze. Aleah was the only one who ever called him by that name—not even his closest friends dared. Still, Kimberly's sobs were relentless. How could he push her away?Whi

  • Becoming the Demon Alpha's Bride   Through Tears and Hope

    Hunter arrived at Darylle Kim's house, standing outside the gate, his heart racing as he repeatedly rang the doorbell. No one answered until finally, Darylle emerged and opened the gate.“Come in, Aleah’s upstairs resting,” Darylle said, motioning for Hunter to follow him. Hunter nodded, staying quiet but determined, his footsteps purposeful as he followed Darylle into the house.Elara was in Aleah's room, sitting at the edge of her daughter's bed. Aleah hadn’t left her room since they arrived—she had been staring blankly at her laptop earlier, and now, she simply gazed at the walls.“Lei, are you sure you're alright? Why don’t we go downstairs for a bit?” Elara asked softly, concern evident in her voice.“I’m fine, Mom. I just need some time alone,” Aleah replied, her voice barely above a whisper.Elara sighed, brushing her daughter’s hair gently. “Alright, but if you get hungry,

  • Becoming the Demon Alpha's Bride   Pieces of the Puzzle

    That night, Hunter couldn't sleep. He wasn't used to not seeing Aleah in their room. Another reason for his sleeplessness was that every time he closed his eyes, memories would flood his mind—memories he couldn’t trace back to their origin. These thoughts were compounded by the necklace he had seen with Kimberly earlier. He felt a strange familiarity with the necklace and the image within it. The unclear images invading his thoughts seemed somehow connected to the necklace he had spotted.Unable to sleep, Hunter decided to sit at his desk and research the necklace. However, he found nothing. He also tried to research Kimberly, the young woman. He had accepted the mission assigned by the President without knowing all the details surrounding it. Yet, despite his efforts, he uncovered nothing that could shed light on his questions.Hunter's phone buzzed unexpectedly, snapping him out of his thoughts. He grabbed it, staring at the unknown number flashing on the scr

    You’re here. Need something?" Sebastian asked as his son walked into the mansion. The young man had stepped into his study while Sebastian was engrossed in a book. He couldn’t help but notice the envelope in his son’s hand. "What’s up? Something I can help you with?""Actually, yeah. If it’s okay, I just wanted to ask you something," the young man replied."Go ahead, sit down," Sebastian said, closing his book and setting it aside. "Alright, what’s on your mind?""I got this earlier this morning," the young man said, placing the envelope on the desk in front of him.Sebastian picked it up, opened it, and looked at the contents. His eyes widened, clearly surprised. He looked back at his son."What’s this? Where did you get it?" he asked."Somebody sent it to me. I’ve got no idea who. I just... I need to know why I’m in this picture with those kids. I want to find out if there’s more to where I c

    Aleah's heart skipped a beat when she spotted Hunter outside the gate. She had been up all night in the garden, trying to uncover more about Kimberly Stuart, but all she found were achievements and accolades—not the answers she was looking for. She was tired, but seeing Hunter brought a mix of surprise and warmth she couldn’t quite explain.She stood up quickly and walked to the gate, opening it for him. "Zen? You're here so early. Come in," she said, trying to keep her voice steady. "Are you okay? You look—" Her words faltered as Hunter suddenly pulled her into his arms."Wait, Zen," Aleah whispered, her cheeks turning red. She glanced nervously at their surroundings."Just for five minutes," Hunter murmured against her ear, holding her close. "Let's just stay like this."Aleah hesitated, feeling the weight of his words. "Is something wrong? Did something happen?" she asked gently, her hands resting lightly on his back.Hunter closed his e

    On his way home, Hunter got a strange call. The person on the other end asked if he’d received the envelope and if he remembered anything about his past. When Hunter tried to figure out who was calling, the voice just told him to ask Dr. Stuart for answers. Then the call cut off.Not long after, his phone buzzed again—this time, it was Kimberly. She asked to meet up at a restaurant. When Hunter asked if she was alright, she didn’t give a clear answer. Still, her tone made him think she was okay. Curious about the first call and wanting to figure out how Kimberly fit into all this, he agreed to meet her.When Hunter got to the restaurant, he spotted her right away, sitting in the farthest corner. He walked up to her and asked, “How are you feeling? Are you sure you’re okay being out?”“I’m fine. Honestly, I’ve been through worse,” Kimberly said with a small shrug, but her words made Hunter frown.“S

    Aleah headed to her house in the Compound after Rafael called her up. He told her that Hunter's wallet, phone, and gun had somehow shown up at their place. They were waiting for Hunter to come by, but as the evening dragged on, he still hadn’t shown up. Nobody had a clue how to reach him, and Kimberly wasn’t around either.“Do you have any idea where he might’ve gone?” Aleah asked Rafael once he arrived. The whole squad from Hunter's task force was there, too. Even Claire had come over to check on Kimberly, but the girl wasn’t home.“No clue,” Carlos chimed in. “But yesterday morning, Hunter got a package. Then he told me he had to go somewhere, but didn’t say where.”“You saw him yesterday?” Rafael asked.“Yeah, he dropped by Director Kim's place to see me. But we didn’t talk for long—he said he’d be back here later,” Aleah replied. She furrowed her brows

    Aleah lifted her head slowly, tears spilling down her cheeks. "It was all a lie," she confessed, her voice trembling. "I never forgot you, not even for a second. I lied, Hunter. I lied to you.""Lied?" he echoed, his tone a mix of confusion and hurt. "You... you’ve been lying to me this whole time?""I’m sorry," she said, her voice breaking as she clung to his shirt for dear life. "I didn’t know what else to do. I just wanted to see what you’d do—if you’d still stay with me, even if you thought I couldn’t remember you. If you’d still care about me… or if it was just pity keeping you here."Hunter stood there, stunned, as her words sank in."When you told me at the hospital that you’d give me whatever I wanted," Aleah continued, her voice cracking, "it hurt so much. But I couldn’t blame you. I deserved it... for lying. And then, when I heard about the encounter and thought you might be gone forever

    "Hey, did you hear? There was a fight between the military and rebels in the next town," the market vendor said, leaning in like she was sharing a secret.Ester and Aleah, busy picking out food supplies for the barracks, froze. They looked at each other, worry flickering in their eyes."Ma’am, can I ask something?" Aleah said, stepping closer to the vendor."Sure, what’s on your mind?" the vendor replied, raising an eyebrow."This, uh, fight you’re talking about... when did it happen?" Aleah asked, her voice tight."Just this morning. Everyone's been talking about it. Two soldiers died, and a few others got injured," the vendor said with a heavy sigh.Ester and Aleah shared another uneasy glance."But why are you so curious? Kids your age don’t usually care about things like this," the woman added, eyeing Aleah. "Honestly, I don’t get it. We have so many soldiers around here, but the rebels? They’re just everywhe

    “Lady Aleah,” Ester whispered nervously, trying to calm her down.“What did you say?” Raffy asked, his voice tight, irritation flashing in his eyes.“I’m trying to avoid being rude,” Aleah said, her tone icy but controlled. “So, if you don’t mind, could you leave us alone? Our husbands are just nearby, and I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t appreciate this. Oh, and in case you’re unaware, soldiers tend to keep their guns loaded.”“Are you seriously bragging about those lazy soldiers in the barracks? What are you even proud of? A sergeant?” Raffy scoffed, grabbing for her hand again.Aleah immediately shot to her feet and yanked her hand away. “Please don’t make a scene. It’s not a good look,” she said, holding her ground.“Then maybe you should cooperate,” Raffy said smugly. “No one wants trouble, right? So, who’s your husband?

    Aleah shot up with a sharp gasp, jolted awake by the gentle touch brushing her cheek. Her eyes fluttered open, and there he was—Hunter, looking straight at her. Flustered, she glanced out the window. The rain had stopped, the training ground was deserted, and the outside was drenched in darkness.“Why’d you sleep here?” Hunter asked, nodding at the chair near the window where Aleah had clearly dozed off watching the soldiers. “You’re gonna get sick doing stuff like this,” he added, his voice tinged with concern.“I didn’t even notice,” Aleah muttered, feeling a bit self-conscious.“Come on. Ester whipped up some dinner,” he said, grabbing her hand and gently helping her to her feet. Aleah didn’t protest—she was starving anyway. She hadn’t wanted to disturb Hunter earlier, knowing how busy he was, and honestly, she’d have gotten hopelessly lost trying to find her way around

    The rain’s really coming down hard," Aleah said as she walked over to the window. She was hanging out in Hunter’s room, a small space inside one of the houses in the barracks. Since they were staying there for a few weeks, living in the barracks was their only option."What’s he up to?" Aleah asked, her curiosity piqued as she glanced at Hunter and the other soldiers in the training area. From her spot, she could see everything happening over there.She watched as Hunter put his squad to the test, pushing them through grueling push-ups while they carried heavy tactical military backpacks, packed to the brim with gear. The rain poured mercilessly, making every move harder for the soldiers. Aleah saw Officer Maestrado stumble and collapse, unable to get back up. But what stunned her most was Hunter’s reaction. Instead of helping him, Hunter stepped on Maestrado’s back, pinning him down even more."He’s really being tough on them," Ale

    Hunter, Darius, Aleah, and Ester arrived at the barracks where Hunter had been assigned. The Four Elder Alpha of Astral Guardians and the Alpha King were informed that the rogue rebels in the area were becoming uncontrollable, and the Astral Guardians stationed there were severely weakened. They were deeply troubled by the news that the commanding officer of the barracks was neglecting his duties. The soldiers lacked discipline, spent their nights in nightclubs, and were often the instigators of trouble—causing the rebels in the area to no longer fear them.Even their identities as werewolves were not kept secret, as they openly displayed their nature to civilians. Worse, the mortal soldiers stationed there were frequently bullied due to the lack of discipline among the ranks. Given these dire circumstances, the Alpha King decided to send Hunter to the barracks despite knowing that the young man had just completed a mission. It seemed like Hunter was the last hope for res

    "Hey," Hunter said softly as he approached Aleah, who was seated in a wheelchair in the hospital garden. Her eyes wandered over the other patients—children and elderly alike—walking with their nurses. "What are you doing out here? Don't you have someone to keep you company?" he asked gently, stopping just in front of her.Aleah glanced at him briefly but said nothing, her silence almost louder than words. Lately, she hardly spoke to him at all. Most of the time, she'd just look at him—her gaze distant, unrecognizing. It was as if she had forgotten him completely."Are you alone out here?" Hunter asked again, his voice tinged with worry. When she still didn’t answer, he sighed, a faint smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "Still don’t want to talk to me, huh?" he murmured. "I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. Why would you want to talk to a stranger? But you know, Aleah...you have this habit of meddling in other people’s business

    Shh." Elara shot a quick glance at Darylle and pressed a finger to her lips, signaling him to keep quiet. As they stepped into Aleah's room, they spotted Hunter fast asleep, his head resting on the edge of the hospital bed, still clutching Aleah's hand. Elara and Darylle exchanged knowing looks and shared a small smile before slipping inside and gently closing the door behind them.Darylle headed to the table, placing the fruits they brought, while Elara moved to the bedside table, swapping out the flowers in the vase. Just as she was arranging the new blooms, something caught her eye—Aleah's fingers twitched. Her heart skipped a beat. Then, slowly, Aleah's eyelids fluttered open."Lei!" Elara blurted out, her voice a mix of shock and excitement. The sound startled Hunter, who jolted awake, lifting his head in a panic. His gaze immediately locked onto Aleah. He stood up so fast he almost knocked his chair over. From across the room, Darylle froze, his eyes darting to

    "What’s happening to Alpha Hunter?” asked a soldier, watching the young man burn through round after round of ammunition during his prolonged shooting practice. He had already used up countless bullets, all aimed at the same spot. The anger on his face was unmistakable, his movements charged with raw intensity. Everyone watching was gripped with fear, seeing him in such a state. He resembled a wolf, poised to pounce on its prey.After finishing his shooting practice, the young man suddenly took off running, fully geared up. It was as if he was determined to exhaust himself. They watched as he ran laps around the headquarters quadrangle, carrying all his equipment. But his relentless drive didn’t stop there. Without taking a moment to rest, he headed straight to the gym, where he unleashed a storm of kicks and punches on a sandbag. The onlookers were chilled to the bone.
