"Hey," Hunter murmured, his voice low and steady as he gently tapped the young woman's cheek. He carefully laid her down on the bed, his movements deliberate, as though afraid she might shatter. He tried to rouse her, coaxing her to wake up and change out of her clothes, but her intoxication was too heavy, pulling her deeper into unconsciousness.

"Zen," she whispered, her voice soft and fragile, her eyes remaining closed.

"What is it?" Hunter asked, his brow furrowing as he knelt to remove her shoes. He worked silently, his hands steady, but she didn’t respond. His gaze lingered on her face, her features serene yet vulnerable, as if she were lost in a dream.

"What a drunkard," he muttered under his breath, shaking his head with a faint smile. Rising to his feet, he made his way to the bathroom, returning moments later with a damp cloth. He knelt beside her again, the cool cloth brushing against her flushed skin as he wiped her face with gentle strokes.

  • Becoming the Demon Alpha's Bride   The Nephew's Plea I

    "Benjamin?” Aleah exclaimed in surprise as she approached the gate of their home. Her voice trembled with confusion as her eyes met Benjamin’s figure, standing motionless just outside the property. His expression was inscrutable, his gaze fixed on their house as if lost in thought. The moment Benjamin spotted Aleah, his demeanor changed abruptly. He turned on his heel and walked away without uttering a single word, leaving her puzzled and slightly unsettled.Aleah felt an urgency to stop him, calling out his name and quickening her pace toward him. Yet Benjamin moved swiftly, increasing the distance between them until he disappeared from view. As Aleah stood by the gate, her mind raced—this was the first time she had seen Benjamin near their home. He had always seemed like someone who preferred his own company, avoiding unnecessary social interactions. This unexpected visit and odd behavior made her wonder what could have brought him there.Inside the hou

    “They are after me. I need your help,” Benjamin said, his voice trembling as his eyes darted nervously around. Hunter frowned at his nephew’s words, bewildered by his frantic demeanor. Who was chasing him, and why did he appear so alarmed?“Tell me everything so I can help you,” Hunter responded calmly. “We can talk inside—” Hunter’s words were abruptly cut short as he studied Benjamin’s expression.It was evident that his nephew was running from something—or someone. Hunter couldn’t help but wonder: had Benjamin gotten entangled in trouble with rogues or some kind of syndicate?“No, I can’t. You might get into danger if they see me entering your house,” Benjamin interjected, his tone urgent, halting Hunter mid-sentence. Hunter’s mind began to whirl. What kind of mess had his nephew gotten himself into to appear so frightened?“Why come here if you’re

    Any updates on the investigation I requested?" Hunter asked his team as he stepped into their conference room, where Rafael and the rest of the Astral Guardian members were seated. Hunter’s thoughts had been consumed by Benjamin ever since their encounter the day before. The young man’s troubled demeanor and Aleah’s cryptic warnings had sparked his concerns. To make matters worse, Benjamin had seemingly vanished—he hadn’t returned to the mansion, and all attempts to contact him had failed. Even his parents were growing increasingly anxious.As a law enforcer, Hunter felt an obligation to look into the situation, especially if his nephew was caught in a dangerous predicament. But beyond that, he couldn’t understand why Benjamin was being so secretive or who was chasing after him."It seems your nephew is in danger, Alpha Hunter," Joyril announced while activating the large monitor in front of the team.

    Aleah glanced toward the door of Claire's condo and said with curiosity, “It looks like you have a visitor.” She had just come over after her class to unwind and spend time with her friend. Since their return from the Espinosa family's private island, both Aleah and Claire had been caught up in their own busy schedules, leaving them little time to talk.“I’ll get it,” Aleah offered, looking back toward the kitchen where Claire was busy preparing snacks. The inviting aroma of freshly brewed coffee and baked pastries filled the air.As Aleah opened the door, the scene before her stunned her into silence. Benjamin, pale and visibly injured, stumbled forward and collapsed at her feet.“Benjamin!” Aleah exclaimed, panic rising in her chest as she knelt beside him. Her eyes were immediately drawn to the dark, spreading stain of blood on his abdomen. Her hands trembled slightly as she reached out to check if he was conscious.He

    That’s insane! Why would you reopen a case that had long been closed?" exclaimed one of the Alphas Hunter was addressing, his voice rising with frustration. The Alpha King was also present during the discussion. Hunter expresses his intention to take over the case concerning illegal smuggling, which involved an international mafia. The case had been shelved for a long time because, according to the Alphas from other packs, it didn't involve rogues or members of their kind. They were taken aback when Hunter declared his interest in reopening the case. He withheld the fact that he wanted to reopen it due to his nephew's involvement.Another reason Hunter insisted on reopening the case was tied to a previous encounter with the mafia in Italy. He suspected that investigating the case could lead him to the missing lawyer of Aleah's grandfather. Hunter strongly believed that this case was connected to the rogues they had faced. Moreover, there was something about that lawyer th

    Aleah's eyes fluttered open, a heavy grogginess still clouding her senses. She blinked a few times, her gaze drawn to the airplane window beside her. The soft, pale light of dawn spilled through the glass, illuminating the clouds below. For a moment, she struggled to process where she was. Then, like a jolt of electricity, it hit her. She wasn’t where she was supposed to be.Her heart raced as she shot to her feet, panic overtaking her. Just hours ago—or was it longer?—she’d been in the waiting room of the headquarters, idly scrolling through her phone, when a soldier approached her. “Miss Aleah, Mr. Hunter has sent for you. He’s already waiting in the car,” the man had said with a professional, almost robotic tone. Trusting the message without question, she followed him out to the sleek black car parked outside. The moment she stepped into the vehicle, a strange dizziness consumed her. She barely had time to register the unsettling sen

    "What do you mean, he got involved with a syndicate?” Sebastian exclaimed in shock when Hunter revealed to their family what had happened to Benjamin and why he was in the hospital. Over the past few days, Benjamin’s parents had noticed that he barely came home. If Hunter hadn’t shared what happened to Benjamin, Sebastian might have organized a search party to find him.Benjamin’s parents said that Luke, his father, received a text message about his son, detailing what Benjamin had done. When Luke tried to contact Hunter, he couldn’t reach him. It wasn’t until a hospital staff member called to inform them that Benjamin was in the hospital that they rushed there.“What’s your plan now? How can we help Benjamin? If my grandson is innocent, why are these mafia people after him? And his friend who dragged him into this—do you have any updates?” the elderly man asked.“We’re still trying to find him,&r

    Using the information Hunter received from an anonymous sender, he and his team carefully tracked down the remote location where Benjamin's friend was hiding. The friend was not only avoiding capture by the ruthless MAFIA but was also evading law enforcement authorities due to his involvement in questionable activities. His refuge was a dilapidated house tucked away in the farthest corners of a remote province, surrounded by overgrown vegetation and a deafening silence that suggested isolation.Upon reaching the area, Hunter's team worked strategically, positioning themselves to cover all possible exits. They ensured that no route was left uncovered, making it impossible for anyone inside the house to escape unnoticed. Hunter and Rafael volunteered to lead the search and cautiously approached the creaking wooden door of the house. As soon as they opened the door, chaos unfolded.

    Hunter spoke to Francis, urging him to make time for his child and explaining why his child had been acting out. At first, Francis was reluctant to listen, arguing that it wasn’t Hunter’s place to interfere in their family issues, especially since Hunter wasn’t a "true Bryant." But Hunter didn’t let that stop him from making Francis understand his shortcomings as a father.Francis eventually promised to make time for his child. He said he would bring Isaac along on their next outing with Aurora, Bernard, Clarisse, and Bernard’s children for a chance to bond. However, this being the family's first vacation together, Francis struggled from the very first day due to the emotional distance between him and his son. Fortunately, Aurora stepped in to mediate, and Bernard and Clarisse also helped bridge the gap. Perhaps due to their experience with Aleah and her family, they found it easier to adapt to the situation.Francis felt unsure of what to say

    “Why aren’t you and Dad more alike? He’s so harsh with me,” Isaac muttered, frustration clear in his voice. Sometimes, he couldn’t help but wonder—did his dad even love him? All he wanted was to be the kind of son his father could proudly acknowledge, someone he could hold up like his other children.Hunter leaned against the bars with a small smile. “Trust me, your dad’s a lot kinder than I am. People don’t call me the Demon Alpha for nothing, you know?” He smirked. “I mean, let’s face it—I’m the family rebel. I went off on my own path, completely ignoring what they wanted for me. Your dad, though? He’s the golden child. He’s spent his whole life trying to protect our family’s reputation and live up to being the eldest. You’ve got to cut him some slack, kid.”Isaac stayed quiet, though the faint growl from his stomach betrayed him. Aleah, standing nearby, look

    "Feeling any better?" Claire asked as she walked over to Aleah, who was lying on the hospital bed. Hunter had rushed her to the hospital when she passed out, but he'd stepped out for a bit to take a call from the Alpha King. He said he'd be back soon, though.When Claire walked into the room, she noticed Aleah was awake, staring quietly out of the window."A little dizzy, but I think I can handle it," Aleah replied, smiling faintly. "Where’s Zen?" she asked."He just stepped out. Rafael came to get him—something about the Alpha King wanting to talk to him," Claire explained, her eyes scanning Aleah’s face. Aleah caught the look and raised an eyebrow. "What is it?""I don’t know whether you’re totally clueless about what’s happening to you or if you’ve got this daredevil streak—but seriously, with that angelic face? Who’d guess?" Claire teased, smirking."What are you talking about?" Aleah asked, frowning

    They really thought everything would be fine after the CEO got arrested and the data mine shut down. But nope—they were way off. The guy wasn’t done messing with Natasha. He found out all the video data sources were destroyed, and because of that, his company shut down and he lost his job. He blamed Natasha for all of it. He even showed up at the hospital, telling her that if she didn’t do what he wanted, he’d post the video from his cellphone online—and make sure her family saw it.“And you’re seriously just gonna believe him like that?” Aleah said to Natasha during her hospital visit. She walked into Natasha’s room just as the guy was heading out. He didn’t say a word to her, just stormed off. But Aleah heard every single thing he said—every nasty, threatening word.“Can you just leave me alone? I don’t need your lecture,” Natasha muttered, refusing to look at her sister. Aleah clenched h

    Moments later, the screen lit up with a pop-up—it was the location of the data mine."Alpha Hunter," Joyril said, his voice steady through the earpiece connecting them to Hunter. "We found it.""Good," Hunter replied with a smirk. Without hesitation, he snapped the chains binding his hands. They were no match for his strength, which far exceeded that of an average Alpha. Even the specially designed chains meant to restrain his kind couldn’t hold him any longer."Why, Alpha Hunter? Lost your mind already, talking to yourself like that? If you want, I can hand you the first copy of your wife's video," the man taunted, his smile oozing arrogance as he stepped closer. "She’s young, beautiful... Heck, I might even start liking her myself," he added with a smirk that made Hunter's blood boil."Save your breath," Hunter said coldly, his piercing glare stopping the man in his tracks.

    Aleah had been dropping by the hospital every day to see her sister, Natasha. And every single time, it bugged her how Natasha didn’t even bother visiting her baby in the nursery. One day, when Aleah came to check on her, she noticed a man walking out of Natasha’s room. As she got closer, Natasha’s face said it all—she was scared out of her mind. “What’s going on? Who was that guy?” Aleah asked, but Natasha just shut down, refusing to say a word. The thing was, Aleah kept seeing the same guy hanging around the hospital. Something wasn’t right. One day, she overheard Natasha arguing with him in her room. She didn’t plan on listening in, but her sister sounded so shaken she couldn’t help it. “You need to give me that video!” Natasha pleaded, her voice trembling. The guy chuckled. “Why would I? That video’s making me a ton of money,” he said, completely unbothered. Aleah’s gut twisted. What was this guy talking about? She couldn’t shake the bad feeling. Then sh
