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

Hey! Where are you going?" Dennis called out, concern in his voice as he watched Aleah hurry out of their clubroom. They had just wrapped up an intense brainstorming session for a mock trial case, where their team was chosen to be the defense counsel for the assailant. Everyone was exhausted, but Aleah’s urgency caught Dennis’s attention. She didn’t usually act this way.Dennis quickly grabbed Aleah’s arm just as she reached the door. His brows furrowed, curiosity and confusion evident on his face. Over the past few days, he had noticed her delving into books and articles about children’s and women’s rights, as well as legal cases involving those topics. It wasn’t out of character for Aleah—she’d always taken her law school aspirations seriously. But now, there was something different about her—an intensity in her actions that was hard to ignore.“I’m sorry, Dennis, but I have to go somewhere,&rdqu

Aleah and Dennis arrived at the police station, looking visibly shaken. Dennis surrendered the knife that Donna used to harm Mario, handing it over to the authorities without hesitation. The police immediately began questioning the pair, aiming to uncover the truth behind the incident. Aleah, however, sat silently on a chair, her gaze fixed on her blood-soaked hands. She appeared lost in thought, overwhelmed by the gravity of the situation. Dennis took charge, trying to explain their involvement to the officers.Dennis detailed how their presence at the scene was purely coincidental, as they had no prior connection to the family or the conflict. His voice was firm, but frustration bubbled under the surface as he clarified their side of the story. Aleah overheard the officers discussing Mario, who was revealed to be assigned to that precinct. They spoke highly of Mario, describing him as an excellent officer and a dedicated public servant. The police expressed disbelief at the n

As Aleah wandered aimlessly along the street, she had no idea where she was going. Lost in thought, she didn’t realize her feet had carried her back to a place from her past—their old flower shop. When she saw it, she froze. The shop she and her mom once called their own was no longer there; in its place stood a sleek coffee shop. She stood outside the door, staring, memories flooding back. Her chest tightened as she thought, If I hadn’t met Hunter, if I hadn’t married him...would Mom and I still be here, running this place together?“Aleah?” A familiar voice broke through her thoughts, startling her. She turned and saw Director Kim, her mom’s boyfriend, walking toward her with a curious look.“What are you doing here?” he asked gently. His eyes shifted to the coffee shop. “Did you miss your old flower shop? It looks like the new owner turned it into a café,” he added with a soft smile, trying to read

"Ican't let you in," Kimberly said firmly as she stepped out of Hunter's hospital room, blocking Aleah's way."Doctor, I think you're crossing the line," Aleah shot back, her hands balling into fists."Clearly, you don't get it. And no, I'm not crossing any lines. Between the two of us, I'm the one who has the real connection to Hunter. I know him better than you. You're just his wife on paper. But me? I'm his soulmate. The real deal. I won't let someone like you mess things up for him. You've done enough damage," Kimberly replied, her tone sharp. Aleah bit her lip and clenched her fists harder, feeling Kimberly's words hit a nerve. Her mind was too clouded with worry for Hunter to fully process what was being said. But one thing was painfully clear—Kimberly had a point. Trouble seemed to follow Hunter because of her, and it stung to hear it out loud."You don’t have to come here. I can take care of him," Kimberly added with conviction. "While I&rsqu

"Let’s get out of here," Hunter said to Mikha, extending his hand. The little girl, still wrapped in the blanket, stood up and approached him. Despite the pain in his back from the falling ceiling earlier, Hunter crouched down and let Mikha climb onto his back."Hang on tight," he told her as she clung to him. He adjusted his grip on Aleah, who was still unconscious, and carried her outside. By the time they got out, firefighters had arrived and were working to control the flames."Mikha!" the officer and his wife called out as they ran over. The woman quickly took Mikha from Hunter’s back, hugging her tightly as the child cried. They pulled off the blanket wrapped around her, checking for injuries. Luckily, she didn’t have a scratch—just tears and fear after everything she had been through."Hunter, what about Aleah?" Rafael asked as he approached, his concern obvious. Several Astral Guardians joined them, Kimberly included. Hunter gently laid

IIt was the birthday of the wife of an Astral Guardian official, who lived in the compound. Everyone was invited to a small celebration, held outdoors near the cooking school in the compound. 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
