The warmth of his hand sent a jolt through Aleah, and she couldn’t help but freeze in surprise. Her cheeks flamed, and for a second, she forgot how to breathe. Did he just—?
Hunter settled back into his seat like nothing happened, his attention already on the road as he started driving. “So, tell me about this case,” he said, his tone casual yet curious. “Why does it matter so much to you? And what’s with the whole ‘worrying about what she might do’ thing?”Hunter and Aleah pulled up outside the correctional facility, just as Leah’s mother’s ex-husband walked out through the gate. Aleah spotted Leah right away, crouched behind a car with her hood up, gripping a knife.“What is she thinking?!” Aleah muttered under her breath. Her heart sank

Hunter glanced up at Aleah, a bit of curiosity in his voice. “Wait… so they’re not really related by blood?”“Nope,” Aleah replied, settling beside him on the bed as he flipped through Lea’s case files. “Lea said her mom’s ex-husband isn’t her real dad. Her mom married the guy after her actual dad bailed—like, a year after she was born.”Hunter nodded slowly, processing. “So, this guy… he raised her?”“Yeah. He’s the only dad she’s ever known,” Aleah said. “And he was great to her. Gave her everything she wanted, maybe even too much attention… you know?”Hunter raised an eyebrow. “Too much attention?”Aleah hesitated but pressed on. “They thought it was normal at first. He just seemed like a dad who really cared. But then, when she was eight, things… changed.”Hunter frowned. “What ha

Aleah couldn’t shake off the uneasy feeling gnawing at her. She had told Lea to stay safe, but something didn’t sit right. What if Lea didn’t listen? What if she went looking for him? Or worse—what if he came looking for Lea? Now that he was out of jail, anything felt possible, and Aleah couldn’t ignore the knot in her stomach.By the time she reached Lea’s place, Aleah overheard a couple of women chatting at a nearby sari-sari store. “You know,” one of them said, “last night there were loud banging noises coming from their house—middle of the night, too.” She shrugged. “But you know how it is. That house is always noisy. Roman’s usually drunk and fighting with her.”“Yeah,” the other one chimed in. “But it’s weird. The house has been quiet since last night. Not like Roman at all—he usually storms out to work after they fight, but nobody’s seen him.&rdquo

Aleah approached Lea’s mother in the hospital, noticing for the first time the bruises on her face and neck. Back at the house, amidst all the chaos, she hadn’t realized how battered the woman really was. She paused briefly to ask a nearby officer about the situation.“The man’s body was sent to the morgue,” the officer told her. “We’re waiting on the autopsy report to confirm the cause of death. We’ve also alerted multiple precincts to track down the suspect.”Aleah nodded, murmuring her thanks before making her way to Lea’s mother, who seemed lost in thought.“Have you found Lea?” the woman asked the moment she noticed Aleah.“Not yet,” Aleah admitted, her voice steady but soft. “We’re doing everything we can to find her. Please, don’t lose hope.”“Hope?” the woman scoffed bitterly. “That monster barely got punished for what he did.

Dennis burst into the precinct, eyes darting around until he spotted Aleah. She was standing by the corner, her arms folded tightly as if to keep herself together. Lea was sitting quietly on the bench nearby, her head bowed. The air was heavy with tension.“Hey,” Dennis said, his voice softer as he approached. “You alright? You had me worried there.”Aleah glanced up, managing a small smile. “I’m okay. Really. I wasn’t the one in danger.”Dennis followed her gaze to Lea. “How’d you get caught up in all this? You’ve got a habit of finding trouble.”Aleah let out a dry laugh. “Guess it’s my thing. But Dennis, it’s not about me right now. Can you handle her case? Do you think we can nail this guy for good?”He tilted his head, thinking for a moment. “I’ll need to dig into it, but yeah, I’m in. Actually…” He paused, a grin forming on his

Hunter stood confidently in front of the media, giving a short speech about the events that had changed his life. Just like the Alpha King had said, two years ago, he was attacked by a group of unknown rogue. “I know, it sounds ridiculous,” Hunter said with a slight smirk, his voice warm yet full of humor. “Who would’ve thought a couple of petty thugs could mess me up this bad? But they did. They caused the accident that robbed me of my memories.”He paused, his gaze sweeping the room, then softened as he continued. “For a long time, I lived as someone else. And for a while, I didn’t even know what I’d lost. But when my memories came back, I realized—there was no way I could stay away. I had to come back.”He turned slightly, his eyes locking onto Aleah, who wasn’t prepared for the sudden intensity of his gaze. Her breath hitched when he smiled—just for her.“Earlier,” he began, his to

Aleah narrowed her eyes at Hunter as they climbed out of the car. Her heart was still racing from everything that had happened earlier at headquarters, and now he was throwing her into another whirlwind. "Okay, spill it. What's going on this time?" she asked, her voice tinged with curiosity and disbelief.Hunter chuckled and leaned in to plant a soft kiss on her forehead. "You'll see, just trust me," he whispered with a grin that made her stomach flutter. Before she could respond, her mom and Claire appeared, their smiles giving nothing away. Hunter squeezed her hand one last time and said, "I'll catch you soon," before disappearing into the church.As her mom and Claire guided her into the convent, Aleah's jaw dropped. Her eyes landed on the beautiful wedding gown waiting for her, along with a makeup artist prepping tools and brushes. "What is this?" she asked, her voice soft but filled with wonder. Her mom and Claire only smiled, urging her to get ready.Meanwhile,

Aleah felt a tender touch brush against her cheek, pulling her slowly out of sleep. She stirred softly, a shy smile lighting up her face as her sleepy eyes focused on the man beside her. It was comforting to see Hunter there, his hand gently stroking her face while she dozed off. They were still on the plane, flying to their honeymoon destination, and the whirlwind of the day had left her completely drained. The exhaustion must have gotten the better of her, but knowing Hunter was close made everything feel safe and right.But something felt...off. Her vision cleared, and her heart suddenly raced in fear—this wasn’t Hunter. The man gazing at her with a hesitant smile was someone else entirely.

"Guiller!" Don Antonio called out as he walked back into the cell. He froze for a second, spotting Guiller with a gun aimed squarely at Hunter's head. Hearing the old man's voice, Guiller turned, and even Hunter, who seemed ready to embrace his end, glanced at him."Hold up," Antonio said, keeping his voice calm. He locked eyes with Guiller. "I'm not stopping you because I've had a change of heart. There's just something more important I need from you. Killing him can wait.""What’s up?" Guiller asked, lowering the gun slightly."My granddaughter’s missing," Antonio replied. The weight of his words hit Hunter like a truck. He blinked, then shot a look at the older man."What happened to Aleah?" Hunter said, standing and pressing a hand to his side. His voice wavered between panic and pain. Both Guiller and Antonio whipped their heads toward him, surprised."Why do you care? It’s none of your business anymore," Antonio snapped. His tone was

“These are Gio’s and my medical records,” Kimberly explained gently. “And Zen’s situation is identical.”Aleah’s heart sank as Kimberly’s words began to sink in.“As you’ll see,” the other woman chimed in, “both Gio and Kimberly developed brain tumors—side effects of the experiment. Gio passed away last year from complications. The condition is incurable. Even Kimberly, as a doctor, couldn’t do anything to stop it. And the wolf blood they carry? It’s not enough to save them.”Aleah’s breath hitched, and her mind raced. Was Hunter facing the same fate?Aleah stared at Kimberly’s files, her stomach twisting as the woman’s words sank in. Scenarios played out in her mind, each one worse than the last.

The thought of Hunter crossed her mind. Hoping it might be Hunter on the other end of the line, she quickly answered the call. To her disappointment, it wasn’t Hunter but Kimberly. Curiosity got the best of her when Kimberly mentioned she was in the country and wanted to meet her. Aleah felt there was nothing to discuss between them. However, her interest was piqued when Kimberly revealed she was with Zen’s mother, who wanted to meet and get to know her. Aleah was aware that Zen wasn’t Sebastian Bryant’s biological child, and she secretly wanted to meet Zen’s real parents. Previously, Giovanni and Kimberly had told her that they, along with Hunter, were products of an experiment. Aleah agreed to meet Kimberly because she was also eager to meet Hunter’s mother.

For a month, Hunter hadn't shown himself to them. There was no news about what had happened to him. Even the members of the armed forces were clueless about the Alpha's whereabouts. They confirmed to Aleah that Hunter had taken leave before they departed and had specifically asked not to be disturbed while he was on vacation with his wife. This left them puzzled when Rafael informed them that Hunter hadn't returned yet.Aleah stayed for a week at her grandfather Antonio's mansion before deciding to return to the country, hoping she'd meet Hunter upon her return. However, when she arrived, even Rafael didn't know where his friend was. Rafael was surprised to hear that Aleah and Hunter hadn't been together, as he believed Hunter had been on a mission.

"Zen! Is that really you?" called out an elderly woman sitting in a wheelchair. Behind her stood a nurse, gently pushing the chair forward. Her hair was pure white, her face lined with wrinkles—a classic image of someone who had seen decades of life. She looked at the young man, but no memory seemed to spark recognition."She's the researcher I told you about. Technically, she's kind of like our mother—one of the people who created us," Kimberly explained to the man."It's been years, Zen. I never thought we'd cross paths again after all this time," the old woman said, her voice warm yet tinged with something unspoken. "That soldier took care of you, didn’t he? You turned out to be such a remarkable young man.""Kimmy told me all about you," she added, smiling faintly. "A military man An Alpha of Astral guardians—a true success story.

"You’re here!" said the young woman standing by the balcony. She spun around the moment she heard the door open. Her face lit up with a big smile as soon as she saw who it was. She rushed toward the man, ready to throw her arms around him, but he stopped her in her tracks. Her smile vanished."Wow, Zen. Still the same old icy guy, huh?" she teased, trying to hide her disappointment."Where is she?" Zen asked, his eyes darting around the room like he was on a mission. But much to his frustration, there was no one else there—just him and Kimberly.After touching down at Santorini Airport, Hunter got a call from Kimberly.

"Wait, are you leaving?” Aleah’s voice cracked as she watched Hunter unpack at the hotel. Her heart raced. It was supposed to be their honeymoon, a dream getaway to Greece—but suddenly, it felt like a nightmare.They had landed just hours ago, her excitement bubbling over when she realized where they were. Hunter had kept the destination a secret, and Aleah had been thrilled to discover they were in a place she’d only ever seen in movies. But now, something was wrong. Very wrong.From the moment they left the airport, Aleah had felt a distance—a chill in the air that had nothing to do with the weather. Hunter had been quiet, lost in thought. She tried to brush it off. Maybe he was tired. Maybe he was overwhelmed by the trip. But no matter how much she tried to pull him out of his shell, he remained cold, distant.“Zen,” Aleah whispered as they rode in the car. Her hand reached out, gently brushing his arm. “Is everything

Aleah woke with a start, her heart racing. She blinked as her eyes adjusted to the dim light and felt the weight of Hunter's jacket draped over her like a soft shield. Her gaze shifted, and there he was—peacefully asleep beside her. A deep breath escaped her lips, the relief washing over her.“Hi!” a cheery voice piped up from the seat in front of her, yanking Aleah out of her trance. The woman leaned forward, kneeling on her seat as if she couldn’t contain herself. When she suddenly sat upright, Aleah flinched, caught off guard.“Oh! Sorry, did I scare you?” the woman asked, her face lighting up with amusement. Aleah forced a smile, but her attention involuntarily drifted back to Hunter. The woman’s gaze followed, and Aleah couldn’t miss the way her eyes lingered on him.
