He also instructed them to be the ones to operate it.

“Sir, we should enter the building to disable the bombs around it,” Carlos suggested to the young man.

“No, we can't,” Aleah interjected suddenly, drawing Hunter's attention to her. “I mean, it’s too dangerous. They’ve installed improvised explosive devices which are remote-controlled. They’re also monitoring the whole building. If they detect anyone besides them, they might detonate the explosives,” she explained. Aleah paused when she noticed Hunter and his team looking at her with puzzled expressions, as if they couldn't believe what she was saying.

“Here, see this?” Aleah pointed to a man on the monitor holding a laptop, which was the reason Hunter's team couldn’t connect to the CCTV earlier.

“Who are you, really?” Trish asked abruptly.

“Huh?” Aleah responded, confused by the Captain's question.

“Alpha Hunter, aren’t we doing anything? The longer we wait, the more the hostages' lives

    "Mama!” exclaimed Aleah as she arrived at their unit and saw her mother being forcibly evicted by some men. She also noticed some of their belongings outside the unit. She saw one of the men push her mother, causing her to fall. Upon seeing this, Aleah immediately ran towards them.She approached her mother and helped her stand up. "What's happening here? Who are these men?" Aleah asked her mother. But she received no response, as her mother was still in shock from the incident. Aleah decided to approach one of the men who were taking out their belongings."Wait a minute. You can't do this. We own this unit," Aleah said, grabbing the man's arm."You?" said a familiar voice. Aleah turned to see a woman inside the condo. She let go of the man's arm when she saw the woman walking out of their unit."Daniella," Aleah whispered, recognizing the woman. She wasn't surprised to see her sister there. If anyone would do something like this, she knew it would

    Aleah exclaimed, "Dalia! Tom---- Ah!" as a man bumped into her while running out of the siblings' house. The impact caused her to drop the grocery bag she was carrying, scattering canned goods and vegetables at the doorway."What was that? Why is he in such a rush, like he's being chased?" Aleah muttered in frustration as she bent down to pick up the scattered groceries. That day, she had visited the two children who had become her close friends. Since she and her mother moved to the flower shop, she befriended the two kids. She often saw them outside the shop, staring longingly. She noticed how frail they looked, as if they hadn't been eating properly.When she got to know them, she learned that their father was an alcoholic who spent all their money on drinking and gambling, leaving them with little to no food. She also found out that their older sibling were often beaten when they couldn't provide money. Feeling deeply sorry for the siblings, Aleah decided to buy them food that day.

    "Why are there so many cars parked outside your shop? Are you and Aunt Elara expecting any visitors?" Hunter asked Aleah as they arrived from the hospital. After successfully arranging for Ramil's transfer to a private hospital room, Hunter decided to drop Aleah off at their family shop so she could get some rest. He left Rafael to look after the two children, ensuring someone was there to care for them.As they approached the shop, the first thing they noticed was the unusual number of cars outside, along with several men in suits standing by the entrance. Aleah glanced at Hunter, puzzled. They weren’t expecting any visitors, and her mother hadn’t been in contact with her old colleagues from the entertainment industry in years. The Guevarra family wouldn't dare come either; her father’s side of the family had kept their distance from them for a long time. But a sinking feeling crossed her mind—it could be her Aunt Melissa causing trouble for her mother again."Maybe someone’s harassi

    They were taken in by the elderly man in a grand mansion that resembled a palace. There, Aleah noticed numerous men in suits surrounding the estate. She discovered that her grandfather was no ordinary businessman—he was the leader of a powerful mafia group in Italy. His real name was Antonio De Luna.At the mansion, Antonio recounted the reason he hadn't been with Aleah's mother for 20 years. He was once the Alpha of a pack, but an unexpected tragedy struck, leading to the death of most of his pack members. He was blamed for failing to protect them from a deadly epidemic. The only ones he had managed to save were his own family. This incident was why he never formed another wolf pack, nor was he accepted by any other. Left with no choice, he lived with only his family, became a businessman, and established a powerful mafia group.As for what happened between Antonio and Elara, it was a different story. Antonio couldn’t accept that his daughter wanted to become an actre

    "M-marriage?!" exclaimed Aleah in shock when her grandfather told her that before they returned to Italy, he planned for her to marry Giovanni. She looked at the man her grandfather mentioned. She had no complaints about him and saw that her grandfather trusted him completely, but she couldn't understand why the old man wanted her to marry a man she barely knew. She had just met him, and now her grandfather had decided on their marriage. She had avoided one arranged marriage, and now here came another one she needed to escape."Why?" Rafael asked Hunter as the latter suddenly froze at the door and looked at the table where Aleah, Elara, her grandfather, and a young man, whom Rafael had never seen before, were seated. He also heard what Aleah said, which made him stop in his tracks. Hunter's eyes narrowed at what he overheard. Did he hear it correctly? Were they discussing marriage? His gaze shifted to the young man with them. Hunter couldn't understand, but he felt an energy

    As her grandfather exited the restaurant, Aleah let go of the young man's hand and sighed deeply. Thankfully, her grandfather believed her and didn’t ask further questions. She wasn’t surprised though—after all, her grandfather wouldn’t object. Hunter was, undoubtedly, an excellent choice: not only did he come from a reputable family, but he was also an Alpha leader.“That was close. Thank you,” Aleah said, turning to the young man.“So now you’re using me to reject a marriage proposal?” Hunter said, his gaze shifting back to her.“I didn’t know you were that bold,” Claire’s friend remarked. “You’ve accepted his rejection, and now you—”“I know I was impulsive,” Aleah cut in, admitting, “I didn’t think things through. All I know is—I don’t want to be trapped in another messy arranged marriage.” She turned to Hunte

    Did you not know?" Melissa exclaimed to Alfredo when Daniella revealed to their family what she had learned from Zane. The young man had told her that his grandfather was preparing to meet Aleah's grandfather. Hunter had also informed them that he and Aleah were planning to get married, and Aleah's grandfather wished to talk to their family."No wonder those two haven’t been coming here—they’ve been plotting against our family all along," Melissa remarked. "See? We shouldn’t have welcomed them here in the first place," she added."Maybe they really are in love," Amanda said. "Think about it—they called off the wedding because of Hunter’s job, but in the end, they’re still getting married," she continued."You actually believe that, Aunt?" Natasha asked sarcastically. "Just think about it—Hunter is a high-ranking Alpha, and their pack is close to the Alpha King, while Aleah is an illegitimate child. Who would believe they truly love each other? Hunter is known as

    "Alpha, someone’s looking for you,” said a soldier who encountered Hunter while he was entering his office. The soldier saluted him before speaking. Hunter noticed the confusion on the young Alpha’s face. “She’s at the main gate now. We haven’t let her in yet just in case-----”“Who is she?” Hunter asked.“The young woman who came here the other day,” the soldier replied.“Send her in,” Hunter instructed before heading into his office.“Yes, Alpha!” the soldier responded, saluting before rushing to the main gate to fetch Aleah.When Aleah entered Hunter’s office, she glanced around. It looked the same as it did the last time she had visited. Hunter was at his desk, reading some files. It was also the first time she saw him wearing spectacles. When he noticed her entrance, he immediately set down what he was reading, removed his glasses, stood up from his

The gathering was attended by the wives of the officers and members of Hunter's Astral Guardians. Kimberly also came along to avoid being bored at home, since it was her day off from the hospital.The officer's wives quickly warmed up to Kimberly, especially impressed by her cooking skills. She even brought Russian cuisine to the celebration, which earned her extra praise from the ladies. They didn't recognize the dishes she brought, but the fancy sound of them left the women enchanted. Kimberly also won them over with her conversation skills, showing confidence despite having lived abroad for quite a while."I hope you can teach that girl how to cook," said the major's wife, glancing toward Aleah, who sat at a table sulking and nibbling on her food. Aleah overheard the comment

    "No way?!” Aleah exclaimed, bolting upright from her chair as she spotted her mom and the director sitting together. They had brought her to a restaurant, saying they had something important to tell her. But what they revealed had her so shocked, she shot to her feet, drawing everyone’s attention in the room.“Sit down. People are staring,” Elara whispered, gently pulling Aleah back into her seat. The girl obeyed but couldn’t tear her gaze away from the young director.“Hey, stop looking at him like that,” Elara muttered, visibly embarrassed by her daughter’s piercing stare.“Hold on, I’m so dizzy from everything you’ve said. I can’t make sense of it.” Aleah grabbed her glass of water, took a sip, sighed, and slammed it back down on the table. Her eyes darted right back to the director.“Leah, seriously, stop looking at him like that,” Elara warned, this time grabbing her da

    Alpha Hunter!” Kimberly called out excitedly as soon as she spotted the young man stepping out of Alejandro’s room. The familiar voice made Hunter glance her way, where he saw Kimberly in a crisp white coat. It clicked—of course, she worked here at the hospital.This hospital wasn’t just any facility, either. It housed government-funded research labs where Kimberly was continuing her work on a drug to restore lost memories. Hunter remembered the briefing he’d received—it explained that Kimberly had been a researcher in Russia, leading a team that was developing medication to reverse memory loss. Their focus had been on treating Alzheimer’s patients. But everything changed when their facility was attacked. She was the only survivor, and she’d fled to her godfather for safety.“Kim—Dr. Stuart,” Hunter said, nodding in acknowledgment.“You don’t have to be so stiff. Don’t forget, I told y

    "I'm really sorry about what happened," Dennis said to Alfredo, his voice steady but sincere. He stood by the hospital bed, his hands awkwardly clasped in front of him. "I came here to clear things up—to explain that what you saw in those pictures isn’t true. Yeah, I have feelings for Aleah. I won’t lie about that. But she doesn’t feel the same way about me. And I know she’s married. I’m not the type to mess up someone else’s life. Aleah’s a good person, and I would never wreck her life or her marriage with Hunter.""Why are you telling us this?" Melissa asked, her tone sharp and suspicious."Because I don’t want you to think badly of Aleah," Dennis replied, looking her in the eye. "I also heard about Don Damian’s heart attack. I can’t stand the thought of you blaming Aleah for that. She didn’t do anything wrong—she’s just caught up in a misunderstanding.""But you just said you have f

    What’s that guy doing outside our house?” Hunter asked, his voice sharp as he leaned against the railing of the terrace. His eyes locked onto Dennis, who was standing just outside the gate, unmoving like he had all the time in the world. It was just him and Aleah at home, with Kimberly and the others still stuck at the hospital. The silence of the house amplified his unease.Hunter’s gaze flicked to Aleah, who stood by the terrace door, her face troubled as she watched Dennis. She wasn’t saying anything, but Hunter could read the emotions in her expression like an open book.“I’m going to talk to him,” Hunter announced, pushing himself off the railing and heading for the door with purposeful strides. He barely made it three steps before Aleah reached out and grabbed his hand, her grip firm and desperate. The gesture was so out of character it stopped him cold.Hunter glanced down at her hand and then at her face. Her eyes were

    Dennis was stunned when he walked into the restaurant and saw Clarisse sitting at the table. Her call had been urgent, and now he knew why. Clarisse wasted no time and revealed that Aleah and Natasha's elderly grandfather was in the hospital after suffering a sudden heart attack.“You heard me,” Clarisse began sharply, her tone cutting through the air like a blade. “And you’re partly to blame for this mess. If you hadn’t been flirting with a married woman, none of this would’ve happened.”Dennis sat down slowly, his face filled with a mixture of shock and disbelief. Clarisse reached into her bag, pulled out a folder, and placed several photographs on the table. The pictures showed Dennis and Aleah at the baseball field, their body language undeniable. Dennis’s eyes widened as he grabbed the photos.“Whoever took these is impressive!” Dennis remarked, though there was no humor in his voice. He held one of the

    What are you doing here? Why are you lying down on the floor?” Hunter asked as he stepped into the basement, his voice tinged with both confusion and concern. The room was dimly lit, the faint hum of the air conditioner the only sound breaking the heavy silence. This basement was his sanctuary, a space he had designed to escape and train in solitude. Yet now, it seemed anything but tranquil.Hunter’s gaze swept across the room until it landed on Aleah. She was sprawled on the floor, her face pale and her eyes distant. But what caught his attention next froze him in place: scattered photographs lay strewn across the floor, fragmented moments of someone’s pain. His chest tightened, and instinctively, he clenched his fists. Without hesitation, he bent down and began picking up the photographs.“Zen,” Aleah whispered, her voice trembling as she looked up and saw him gathering the pictures. She scrambled to her feet, panic flashing in her eyes. &ld

    Aleah, you're here! Come have some snacks with us," Carlos called out from the garden, where he was hanging out with Joyril, Trisha, Rafael, and Kimberly. But Leah didn’t even glance their way. She just rushed inside the house, heading straight upstairs without a word. The group exchanged baffled looks, their confusion written all over their faces. Leah wasn’t the type to just brush people off like that."What’s up with her? Did something happen?" Joyril asked, turning to Rafael for answers.Rafael just shrugged. "No idea."The truth was, none of them knew. The Alpha himself wasn’t home—he, along with Michael and Charles, had been called away by the Alpha King, leaving the rest to keep Kimberly company.While they were chatting, Rafael’s phone buzzed. It was a message from Claire, telling him that Leah’s grandfather had been rushed to the hospital and was in critical condition. Rafael’s eyes darted toward the house

    Aleah barely stepped into her grandfather’s mansion when a sharp slap landed on her cheek. She was stunned, still reeling from the unexpected text from Melissa summoning her there. It was the first time Melissa had ever messaged her, and Aleah knew that if Melissa could avoid seeing her, she would. Her mere presence was enough to dredge up painful memories of Melissa’s husband’s infidelity—and worse, the family’s acceptance of his second family.Aleah clutched her stinging cheek, her eyes darting to the furious woman in front of her. What had she done this time? Why was Melissa so angry? Across the room, Natasha stood with her arms crossed, a smug grin plastered on her face, as if she’d been waiting for this moment.“You have no shame,” Melissa spat. “Are you trying to destroy our family? Seducing the fiancé of your husband’s niece? Really?”Aleah blinked, confused. “Seducing who?” sh
