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

"So, you've gotten yourself into trouble again?" Melissa sharply reprimanded as Hunter and Aleah stepped into the grand hall of the Guevarra mansion. The room’s elegant chandeliers gleamed above them, casting light on the intensity in Melissa's voice. "If Claire hadn’t called us, we wouldn’t even know what happened to you! And now, you’ve ended up at a police station. How long will you continue bringing shame and problems to this family?" she said with a mix of anger and disappointment, her piercing gaze fixed on Aleah."Did you even stop to think about the repercussions this might have on my father? On the family business? The trust the Pack members have placed in your father and grandfather? Do you ever think about anything other than yourself?" Melissa’s voice rose, her frustration evident as she gestured toward the others in the room. Aleah remained silent, her head bowed as she accepted the torrent of anger being directed at her."And why

"I see you're still awake," Hunter said as he entered their room, his footsteps soft yet deliberate. He caught sight of Aleah sitting on the terrace, her gaze fixed on the night sky outside the mansion. The stars shimmered above, but there was a heaviness in her expression that Hunter couldn't ignore. Even from afar, he could sense the turmoil in her thoughts—she was reliving the events that had unfolded, pondering every detail with a weight in her heart. "It's cold out here; why don't you come inside and rest?" Hunter suggested gently as he walked over, taking the seat beside her. He placed a glass of milk on the small table between them, the warm drink a silent offering of comfort. Aleah's eyes flickered briefly toward the glass, her lips pressing into a faint line. Did Hunter know she'd be awake? Was that why he had gone out of his way to bring the milk? "I'm not a child anymore to be drinking milk," Aleah remarked, her voice soft but edged with a tinge of irritation. Y

The next day, Hunter and Aleah went to the hospital to visit Missy and her mother. The atmosphere was heavy with concern as they entered the building. They met with the doctor attending to the family, who greeted them with a reassuring yet serious demeanor. He informed them that Mario was now out of danger after the incident and only needed rest to recover fully. Missy and her mother were also showing signs of improvement. However, Missy's mother, Donna, remained in a fragile state. She often appeared lost in thought, and the nurses reported episodes of hysteria. The doctor suggested they consult a psychiatrist to address her mental health. “We had to separate her from her daughter,” the doctor explained gravely. “She once attacked the child and tried to harm her. She kept saying she wanted to end their suffering as mother and daughter.” His voice softened as they approached Donna's room. She was sitting by the window, her gaze fixed on the world outside, her expression vacant.

Aleah was utterly shocked when Donna's body suddenly fell in front of her. Blood splattered across the cement, with some droplets landing on her feet. She stood frozen, unable to move, paralyzed by the overwhelming shock. Her eyes remained fixed on Donna's lifeless body lying on the ground. For a few moments, Aleah stared blankly, her mind struggling to process the reality of what had just happened. As the realization sank in, she opened her mouth to scream, but before she could, someone suddenly pulled her away from the scene, turning her away from the body and wrapping her in an embrace. Her face pressed against a broad chest, and she felt strong arms encircle her protectively. “Don’t look,” a voice said softly. Hearing the familiar voice, Aleah tilted her head upward to see who was holding her. It was Dennis. This was the scene Hunter witnessed as he looked down from the rooftop to check on Donna. Seeing Aleah in Dennis’s arms, a surge of irritation coursed through

"Alpha?" Dennis muttered in confusion upon hearing what Claire said as they greeted the young man. It was the first time he’d heard such a term. Could 'Alpha' be a rank in the armed forces? He observed Hunter’s men and thought they seemed unusually skilled, far more than just regular soldiers."It looks like her husband is already awake and searching for both the girl and his wife," Claire remarked."Missy? She isn't safe with him," Aleah suddenly exclaimed. "We need to act—he can't see Missy," she added urgently, her voice trembling as she grabbed Hunter's arm. Dennis noticed the young woman’s reaction."You’re shaking and yet, you’re still worrying about someone else," the young man said to her."I’m not trembling," Aleah protested."Yeah, sure," Dennis replied skeptically, ruffling Aleah’s hair teasingly, though she quickly brushed his hand away in annoyance. Dennis felt irritated by the scene unfolding befo

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
