"Really now. What a troublesome person," Hunter muttered as he approached her. He picked up the rock near her foot and tossed it to the side of the road.

"What?" Hunter asked, puzzled, as Aleah simply stared at the hand he extended toward her. "Do you have no plans of getting up from there?" he asked, his tone slightly teasing.

"Ah—" Aleah stammered, her words trailing off as she hesitated, her eyes fixed on his outstretched hand.

"Come on," Hunter said, placing a hand on her shoulder and helping her to her feet.

"Ah," Aleah winced as pain shot through her foot when Hunter pulled her up. He immediately paused, concern flashing across his face.

"Did you sprain your ankle?" Hunter asked, glancing down at her foot while keeping a steadying hand on her shoulder. "Stand still," he instructed as he crouched down to examine her foot.

When he touched her ankle, Aleah flinched and instinctively grabbed the back of his shirt. Hunter looked up at her, worry

    "Grandpa?!" Aleah exclaimed in surprise as they arrived at their house. She was with Hunter, and they had just come back from the grocery store, their arms laden with bags. Since Aleah had finished work early and it was Hunter's day off, they decided to tackle the shopping together. With Ramil still at school, it seemed like the perfect opportunity for the two of them to get it done.Their light mood quickly shifted when they noticed Don Damian standing outside their gate, accompanied by Melissa and Albert. The atmosphere grew tense as Aleah and Hunter exchanged uncertain glances. Hunter, ever the gentleman, immediately took the bags Aleah was carrying, allowing her to greet her family.Aleah approached her grandfather with a warm smile and kissed his cheek, followed by her father, Albert. She hesitated slightly before turning to greet Melissa. However, Melissa, with a sharp turn of her head, deliberately avoided her, leaving Aleah's smile faltering."Sir," Hunter gre

    "Do you need anything?" Ramil asked a man in uniform standing in front of Hunter's gate. He had just arrived after picking up his younger siblings from school. The afternoon sun cast long shadows, and the air was heavy with an unspoken tension. Ramil froze when Tommy suddenly gripped his hand tightly, his small fingers trembling, while Dahlia quickly hid behind him, clutching the hem of his shirt. Confused, Ramil glanced at the soldier, who stood with his head bowed, holding his hat as if weighed down by something more than just the heat. Ramil couldn't understand why his siblings were suddenly so frightened of the man."Oh! You're here. Why haven't you gone inside yet?" Aleah's voice broke the silence as she opened the gate, stepping out of the house. She noticed the siblings standing outside, their faces pale and uneasy. Her gaze shifted to the man in uniform, who seemed out of place yet oddly familiar."Do you need anything, sir?" Aleah asked politely, her tone cautious

    As the man lay sprawled on the ground, Aleah turned to look at him, her breathing heavy. Her gaze then shifted to Hunter, who stood protectively in front of her. Hunter's men, seeing the man incapacitated, lowered their weapons and moved toward the children and Rafael to ensure their safety."You’re bleeding," Hunter said with concern as he approached Aleah, gently placing his hand on her neck to examine the wound."I’m fine. It’s just a small cut," Aleah replied, brushing it off as she touched the wound herself."This is what happens when you’re stubborn. How troublesome. Don’t provoke someone dangerous with your defiance. What would you have done if it had been worse than this?" Hunter scolded his tone a mix of frustration and worry."I—I’m sorry, okay? Nothing bad happened," Aleah stammered, unsure why Hunter was reacting so strongly.As they spoke, neither of them noticed the man regaining consciousness. He reach

    Ae you sure you'll be okay here?" Hunter asked the young woman as he stopped his car just outside her grandfather’s mansion. The sprawling estate, known as the Guevarra mansion, loomed behind the ornate iron gates. Despite his busy schedule and the urgency of his next mission, Hunter had insisted on escorting her himself, ensuring her safety before his departure.“I’ll be okay. I’m more worried about Dahlia and the others back home. Only Ramil is there to look after them,” she replied, her voice tinged with concern as she gazed through the gates at the mansion.“Don’t worry about them. Their stepfather is already behind bars, and he won’t be able to get out anytime soon. Besides, I’ve reinforced the security in the compound after what happened,” Hunter reassured her, his expression firm and resolute, the faint lines of worry on his face softening.“That’s a relief,” she said, exhaling deeply

    "Is it true? The wife of the Famous Demon Alpha is now at this school? And what's even more exciting is that she is in our department," said a woman in the school cafeteria where Aleah studies. Aleah had just entered the cafeteria when she overheard the woman’s statement. It has been a month since she married Hunter. News of their wedding was published in newspapers back then. But for some strange reason, all copies of those newspapers vanished. Even on social media and internet searches, they could no longer be found. Despite Aleah’s knowledge of computer programming, she couldn't trace the news and photos either. They disappeared as if they never existed."I heard about that too. But no one knows who she is. Even the news about it stopped. Articles and topics about them were also removed. Even our school has been silent about this," the woman added. "It seems like her identity is being protected.""Well, if I were the wife of an Alpha, surely my identity woul

    "Big sis Aleah!" Tommy and Dahlia exclaimed joyfully when they saw her waiting outside their school gates. The two children broke into wide grins and waved eagerly. Aleah, noticing their delight, returned the gesture with a warm smile. Her decision to visit their school stemmed from the unsettling incident at the cafeteria earlier that day, as well as her reluctance to return home to the mansion. She knew her Aunt Melissa would be there, and she wasn’t in the mood for an early confrontation. As Tommy and Dahlia reached her, they threw themselves into her arms, their youthful energy lighting up her day. They hugged her tightly, their laughter brimming with excitement.“How are you both doing?” Aleah asked softly, her voice filled with genuine concern as she gently brushed a lock of hair from Dahlia's face.“We’re fine, but it’s always more fun when you’re with us,” Dahlia said, her eyes twinkling with honesty. Tommy nodded vig

    "Stay out of it,” Hunter said firmly on the other end of the line. It was the first time he had called since he left, and Aleah felt both surprise and relief upon hearing his voice again. He explained that he hadn’t been able to call earlier due to the sheer amount of work he and his team had to manage. Hunter’s group had been chosen to escort the Alpha King during an international summit in another country—an honor, but also a task that demanded utmost focus and vigilance.Aleah’s heart leaped at receiving his call. It was no easy feat to get hold of Hunter when he was working alongside the Alpha King. She had almost convinced herself that he wouldn’t call at all, especially since he’d seemed upset when he left after a conversation with her grandfather. Hearing his voice now, the joy she felt was undeniable and overwhelming.In her happiness, she found herself sharing the story of the girl she had seen outside the school gate and

    Even though Hunter had warned Aleah not to get involved in Missy’s problems, she couldn’t help herself. One day, while visiting Tommy and Dahlia at school again, she saw a man in uniform picking up the child along with her mother. As always, the mother was wearing sunglasses and heavy makeup to hide the bruises on her face. Instead of approaching the children, Aleah decided to follow them.She ended up in a densely populated area, where the houses were crammed together, and many residents were outside. Some were drinking, others chatting, and a few teenagers were playing basketball. She noticed that some people seemed to avoid the man, who was a policeman. Aleah kept a safe distance to avoid being noticed and continued to follow him. She saw the three enter a house. Moments later, she heard noises from inside and the sound of a little girl crying.“I don’t understand why that mother and daughter don’t just leave that man. He treats them like p

    "Playing the hero again, Zen? Letting your little wife escape. Does your life mean nothing to you?" Giovanni snarled, his voice dripping with venom. Suddenly, his eyes shifted, glowing a menacing red. It was the first time Zen had seen Giovanni’s transformation, and it was clear—his anger had reached its breaking point."You’re testing my patience! And for that, I’ll make sure to tear you apart," Giovanni growled, his voice low and dangerous."Even if I explained, you wouldn’t understand," Hunter replied, his tone calm but firm."I’ll show you just how weak you are, Zen. Your ties to these fragile mortals will be the reason for your early death," Giovanni spat, his words laced with contempt.Hunter didn’t notice one of Giovanni’s men sneaking up behind him. The attacker struck, catching Hunter off guard and forcing him to his knees. As Hunter tried to stand, another man pressed a club against his neck, pinning him d

    Still no word on where Giovanni is?" Aleah asked Hunter, glancing at him as he drove toward their university. Ever since the incident, he’d been picking her up and dropping her off. He even had people keeping an eye on the campus. Hunter always warned her not to underestimate Giovanni. The guy was a pro at terrorist tactics and knew all the tricks."It’s tough to track someone who doesn’t want to be found," Hunter said, keeping his eyes on the road. "If he wants to show up, he will. I’m the one he’s after, so sooner or later, he’ll make his move.""What about Dr. Stuart? What’s going on with her?" Aleah asked."They’ve taken him to the national defense office," Hunter replied. "He’s just waiting for the FBI to pick him up. Security around him is tight—Giovanni’s bound to try something to get him out.""Do you ever regret standing against them? They’re your family, after all. They’re the

    Aleah narrowed her eyes at him. “Better? How is that a good thing? Now we have no way of finding out who’s behind all this!”Hunter let out a deep breath and put his hand on her head in a comforting gesture. “Stop trying to be a detective, okay? That’s my job. You just stay out of it and let me handle this.” His touch was light, but it still sent Aleah’s heart racing. She hated how easily he could make her feel this way.Rafael joined them, looking serious. “Alpha Hunter, there’s no CCTV in this area either. Whoever’s doing this knows exactly how to avoid getting caught. They pick their spots carefully.”Dennis followed behind Rafael, his face tense as he silently joined the group."Looks like trouble just keeps finding its way into your life, Captain," Dennis said with a mix of frustration and sarcasm.

    Sebastian shouted, "Who are you?!" as the man yanked open the car door. He had been heading to Bryant Shopping Mall when a motorcyclist suddenly appeared, blocking his car. The bike skidded to a stop in front of them, forcing the driver to hit the brakes. Then, out of nowhere, the man on the motorcycle pulled out a gun and shot Sebastian's driver, the bullet shattering the windshield and striking him square in the head. Sebastian froze, unable to move. Before he could even think, the man was at the car, flinging open the back door and shoving a gun in his face. He didn’t say a word, not even a glare. Instead, he opened the driver’s door, dragged out the lifeless body, and climbed into the driver’s seat himself. As the man started the car, he glanced over at Sebastian, eyes cold and sharp, and aimed the gun at him—a silent warning to stay still if he wanted to live. The car roared to life, speeding away, leaving the motorcycle behind like discarded trash. Sebastian managed

    “Where’s Aleah?” Sebastian asked as everyone gathered at the Headquarters. Elara and Darylle showed up, but Aleah was still a no-show. Hunter walked over with Rafael and a few other members of the Astral Guardians trailing behind. Sebastian and Damian turned to him as he arrived.“Xen, what’s going on? Your wife knows she’s supposed to be here, right?” Sebastian asked, raising an eyebrow.“She’s probably on her way,” Hunter said, though deep down, he had no clue why Aleah had been avoiding him. It wasn’t like he’d seen her much after he got out of the hospital. Was she still mad at him, or had he messed up again without realizing it? He had no answers.The ceremony kicked off, celebrating Hunter and his team for their success in capturing Giovanni's group. Everyone seemed excited about the recognition.“Do you think something’s up with Aleah?” Darylle whispered to Elara as t

    ALeah! Why are you still here? Aren’t you supposed to be heading to the hospital? Hunter’s getting out today, isn’t he?” Elara asked, surprised to see her daughter coming down the stairs at Darylle’s house. While Hunter was recovering in the hospital, Aleah had been staying with Darylle.Elara had noticed Aleah wasn’t visiting Hunter much. Every time she’d ask, Aleah would say she was tied up with schoolwork—projects piling up as the semester came to an end. But even Hunter himself had asked about her during one visit, wondering why Aleah seemed distant. No one could figure out what was going on.“Morning, Ma! Morning, Director Kim!” Aleah greeted her mom and Darylle, planting quick kisses on their cheeks before settling into a chair at the dining table. The two were already halfway through breakfast.“You know, the Alpha king invited Hunter’s family to the Palace today,” Darylle said, bitin

    Aleah!" Elara’s voice rang out in worry as she rushed into the hospital with Sebastian and Damian in tow. Inside the room, Aleah was perched on one bed, while Hunter snoozed on the one next to her. His wound had been treated, the bandages neatly in place. The doctor had stressed he needed proper rest. But still—why had he suddenly had complications? And who on earth discharged him without even bothering to check with his doctors?"Lei, you’re okay now. What happened to you, kiddo? Are you alright? Is anything hurting?" Elara asked, hurrying over to her daughter. Her hands fluttered to Aleah’s face, her eyes scanning her daughter like she was checking for any hidden cracks."I’m fine, Ma," Aleah said, flashing her mom a faint smile. Hearing those words, Elara let out a breath she didn’t even know she was holding and pulled Aleah into a tight hug."It’s such a relief to see you safe, Aleah," Sebastian said warmly, a gentle smile

    Kimberly couldn’t believe what she was seeing—one by one, the people around her dropped to the ground. Before she could process it, Guiller’s armed group stormed in. They closed in on Kimberly, grabbing her without hesitation.“Well, Giovanni, it’s just you now. Give it up,” Guiller ordered.“Ha! You think I’ll surrender that easily? Don’t forget, I’ve got your wife—and the lives of everyone in that hospital—under my thumb,” Giovanni shot back, smirking.Hunter stood firm. “Nice try, but you can’t scare me with that. My team’s already at the hospital, disarming your bomb as we speak,” he countered.“Oh, really?” Giovanni sneered, taking a step back with Aleah in tow. “Fine, I’ll give you that. But don’t think for a second this ends here. I always have the last laugh.”As Giovanni dragged Aleah closer to the edge of a cliff

    "How long are you planning to keep me locked up in here?” Aleah snapped as Kimberly strolled into the room. The last thing Aleah remembered was being taken by Kimberly and Giovanni to some place Kimberly claimed was their origin along with Hunter. Kimberly had made it clear she was going to take Hunter back. Then boom—everything went black after she got whacked on the back of her neck. When she woke up, she was stuck in this room, with Giovanni and Kimberly taking turns bringing her food.Escape? Not happening. The windows were barred, even the bathroom ones. And her phone? Long gone—Giovanni had snatched it before they left the country. Now Aleah had no idea where she was. Every time she peeked out the window, all she saw was a massive stretch of ocean. It reminded her of that other time Giovanni kidnapped her. He’d taken her to this cliffside house with nothing but endless water below.“When I finally get Zen back, I’ll send you home.
