“Lady Aleah,” Ester whispered nervously, trying to calm her down.

“What did you say?” Raffy asked, his voice tight, irritation flashing in his eyes.

“I’m trying to avoid being rude,” Aleah said, her tone icy but controlled. “So, if you don’t mind, could you leave us alone? Our husbands are just nearby, and I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t appreciate this. Oh, and in case you’re unaware, soldiers tend to keep their guns loaded.”

“Are you seriously bragging about those lazy soldiers in the barracks? What are you even proud of? A sergeant?” Raffy scoffed, grabbing for her hand again.

Aleah immediately shot to her feet and yanked her hand away. “Please don’t make a scene. It’s not a good look,” she said, holding her ground.

“Then maybe you should cooperate,” Raffy said smugly. “No one wants trouble, right? So, who’s your husband?

    "Hey, did you hear? There was a fight between the military and rebels in the next town," the market vendor said, leaning in like she was sharing a secret.Ester and Aleah, busy picking out food supplies for the barracks, froze. They looked at each other, worry flickering in their eyes."Ma’am, can I ask something?" Aleah said, stepping closer to the vendor."Sure, what’s on your mind?" the vendor replied, raising an eyebrow."This, uh, fight you’re talking about... when did it happen?" Aleah asked, her voice tight."Just this morning. Everyone's been talking about it. Two soldiers died, and a few others got injured," the vendor said with a heavy sigh.Ester and Aleah shared another uneasy glance."But why are you so curious? Kids your age don’t usually care about things like this," the woman added, eyeing Aleah. "Honestly, I don’t get it. We have so many soldiers around here, but the rebels? They’re just everywhe

    Aleah lifted her head slowly, tears spilling down her cheeks. "It was all a lie," she confessed, her voice trembling. "I never forgot you, not even for a second. I lied, Hunter. I lied to you.""Lied?" he echoed, his tone a mix of confusion and hurt. "You... you’ve been lying to me this whole time?""I’m sorry," she said, her voice breaking as she clung to his shirt for dear life. "I didn’t know what else to do. I just wanted to see what you’d do—if you’d still stay with me, even if you thought I couldn’t remember you. If you’d still care about me… or if it was just pity keeping you here."Hunter stood there, stunned, as her words sank in."When you told me at the hospital that you’d give me whatever I wanted," Aleah continued, her voice cracking, "it hurt so much. But I couldn’t blame you. I deserved it... for lying. And then, when I heard about the encounter and thought you might be gone forever

  • Becoming the Demon Alpha's Bride   The Alpha’s Burden

    Upon discovering the rebel stronghold, Hunter and his team launched a decisive counterattack. This operation wasn’t only driven by the ambush that injured Hunter's men but also aimed to rescue the young individuals held captive by the rebels and rogues. Hunter received news that several boys from the town had been taken by the rebels and were being forcibly trained as fighters. These boys were taught how to handle firearms and were being prepared to combat the government.During the assault led by Hunter and the Astral Guardian on the rebel base, a fierce battle erupted between their forces and the combined strength of the rebels and rogues. Some rebels perished, as they refused to surrender. Despite Hunter's reluctance to see bloodshed, he had no choice since negotiations with the rebels were impossible. One of the rebel leaders was killed in the clash. Meanwhile, the rogues involved in the group resisted capture and left Hunter and his team no alternative but to neutral

    "You’re here,” Hunter said as he reached Aleah, his voice calm but tense. He was sure she’d seen what happened earlier. His chest was a storm of emotions. Normally, he didn’t care if his enemies died in an operation, but finding out they had families tore at him. It wasn’t just sadness—he was angry. Angry at how pointless it all felt. And, deep down, he blamed himself for jumping in too fast, without thinking things through. That old woman’s words earlier made him realize how much he had messed up.“Zen,” Aleah said softly, and out of nowhere, she wrapped him in a hug. Hunter froze, caught off guard.“I’m glad you’re okay,” Aleah said, her voice full of relief.“Do you even know where we are? Looks like someone got gutsy overnight,” Hunter teased, smirking as he moved to touch her shoulder.“I saw what happened earlier,” Aleah blurted out, stopping him in his tra

    “OPEN THE GATE,” Hunter suddenly commanded, his voice firm and sharp. Aleah blinked in surprise at his sudden shift. Carlos hurried over, his expression tense.“Sir, we can’t do that. It might cause chaos,” Carlos said, trying to reason with him.“I’m sure the mayor wouldn’t want any more bloodshed,” Hunter said, his tone calm but with an edge. He turned to the mayor and his group. “I’m just a guest in this town, after all. That’s why I’ll leave the decision to you. Inside, there are wounded rebels and the bodies of the ones who didn’t make it.” His words were steady, even as the weight of them lingered in the air.“Open the gate,” Hunter repeated, his sharp eyes locking with Carlos. The two stared at each other for a moment before Carlos let out a deep sigh. He knew there was no changing the Alpha’s mind. With some hesitation, Carlos nodded and gave the signal

    Still no sign of Hunter?" Elara asked as she walked over to her daughter, who was standing by the door, staring out at the gate. Hunter had promised to pick them up so they could all head to the hotel together. But it was already past ten, and there was still no Hunter—not even a call.Hearing her mom’s voice, Aleah quickly turned to look at her. Right at that moment, the sound of the doorbell rang through the air. Both mother and daughter’s heads snapped toward the gate.“Finally, looks like he’s here,” Darylle said with a grin, already making his way to the gate to let Hunter in. Elara and Aleah watched as Hunter and Darylle strolled back toward them. As soon as Aleah saw him, a smile spread across her face."Sorry I kept you waiting," Hunter said as he stopped in front of them. He extended his hand to Aleah with a playful smile. "Ready to go?"Aleah smiled back and slipped her hand into his. Meanwhile, Elara and Darylle exch

    Before midnight, everyone gathered on the hotel rooftop. Earlier, the family had enjoyed a lively dinner together, laughing and sharing stories over delicious food. The two elders, Sebastian and Damian, handed out gifts to everyone with warm smiles. They also shared the wonderful news that Daniella was expecting a baby, a new addition to the family.After the gift-giving, the elders revealed they had planned a special surprise and encouraged everyone to head upstairs to the rooftop. Curious but excited, Aleah joined the rest of the family.“What’s going on? Why did we come up here?” Aleah whispered to Hunter as they reached the rooftop.“Just wait and see,” Hunter replied, a soft smile tugging at his lips. “I’ve never seen them this happy before,” he added, his gaze drifting toward Sebastian, who was deep in conversation with Damian, Zane, and Daniella.Aleah followed his line of sight and smiled as she watched the

    Whoa! What’s all this chaos?” Hunter teased as he strode into the kitchen, only to be greeted by thick smoke clouding the room. His playful expression shifted to concern when he heard Aleah coughing. He quickly covered his mouth and nose, darted toward her, and found her crouched by the stove, struggling to catch her breath. Without a second thought, Hunter turned off the stove and helped Aleah to her feet.“Hey, are you okay? Did you hurt yourself?” Hunter asked, his voice full of worry as he gently held her arm. “What’s going on? Were you trying to burn the house down?” His teasing tone returned, trying to lighten the mood.Aleah rolled her eyes, irritation flaring. “I was cooking!” she snapped.“And this masterpiece?” Hunter chuckled, peering at the pan of charred food. “Is it supposed to be edible?”“It’s nothing,” Aleah muttered, snatching the pan and dumping it i

    "Don’t let him fool you," Jonathan said, his voice sharp and commanding. "I’m the one who saved your life. You owe your second chance to me, Aleah, so you should be listening to me." His eyes burned with intensity, and for the first time, Aleah felt fear creep into her chest. The look in his eyes was unsettling, almost as if he was silently declaring that she wasn’t allowed to leave.Hunter stepped forward, his expression calm but his voice firm. "I don’t know why you’re so desperate to keep my wife away from me," he said, his gaze unwavering. "But I’ll say this—I don’t like what you’re doing."He took a deep breath, his features softening as he turned to Aleah. His voice was gentler now, filled with quiet conviction. "Aleah, I’m holding back my anger because I don’t want to hurt you. I won’t force you to remember me, but your heart already knows. It always has. We share something unbreakable—a b

  • Becoming the Demon Alpha's Bride   The Sunset Reunion

    Hunter and Charles wasted no time heading to the small town where Aleah had been spotted. It was late afternoon, and Aleah stood by the shoreline, watching the sun dip below the horizon. The golden light bathed her as the wind played with her hair. Watching the sunset had become her refuge—a quiet moment where she wished, over and over, for her memories to return.As soon as they arrived, Hunter’s eyes locked onto a familiar silhouette standing by the water. Her long hair flowed in the breeze, and his heart leaped at the sight. His lips curled into a soft smile as he recognized her. Slowly, almost reverently, he approached her. The anticipation was overwhelming—he’d spent countless sleepless nights worrying about her, praying she was safe. Now, here she was."My Love," he whispered, his voice thick with emotion. He reached out, wrapping his strong arms around her. Those arms, so familiar, sent a jolt through Aleah. "I’ve missed you," he added,

    "What are you doing out here?" Aleah’s soft voice broke the silence. She found Lucinda sitting outside, staring off into the distance."Just getting some air. Why are you here?" Lucinda asked, her tone distant and detached."I needed some fresh air too. I’ve been feeling a little suffocated," Aleah replied gently."You’re doing better now, aren’t you? So why haven’t you left yet?" Lucinda asked suddenly, her words sharp and unfiltered."Huh?" Aleah blinked, surprised by the shift in her tone. Lucinda’s bluntness caught her off guard."You don’t remember anything, sure, but you’re not helpless. Why don’t you go look for your family?" Lucinda said, frustration creeping into her voice."And where am I supposed to start? You know I have no clue!" Aleah shot back.Lucinda narrowed her eyes. "Maybe you’re just using your memory loss as an excuse to stick around here. Be honest—do you like

    "You're so stupid!" the furious woman exclaimed as she struck Lucinda on the head. "I told you not to put vegetables in the sinigang because I can't stand their smell, but you still did it!" she said angrily. In her rage, she flung the contents of the bowl, its freshly cooked soup still steaming hot. Some of it spilled onto Lucinda's hand."Ouch!" Lucinda cried out as the scalding liquid touched her skin."What? Does it hurt? Are you complaining?" the woman sneered."N-no, ma'am," Lucinda replied weakly."I can't understand Jonathan," the woman went on. "How could he marry someone like you? My son is intelligent, but I can't fathom why he chose you—uneducated and dumb," she spat out venomously.Lucinda stood there quietly, listening, but inside, she was overwhelmed by pain. This was just another day of enduring her mother-in-law's cruelty. Ever since she and Jonathan had married, the woman had been nothing but harsh to her.Aleah happened to walk

    The rain was pouring heavily, accompanied by thunder and lightning. Aleah didn't know where to go; she kept running aimlessly. The area was covered with grass and thick bushes, making it difficult for her to move. Her clothes got caught on the plants, and she stumbled several times. Her arms and legs were scratched and wounded by the sharp foliage.Because it was dark and she had no idea where she was heading, Aleah didn't notice the cliff in her path. She tripped over a protruding rock and fell, rolling down uncontrollably. Her clothes got snagged and ripped during the fall. When she finally stopped tumbling, she landed in a single spot—at the bottom of the cliff."Zen," Aleah called out her husband's name as she fell. That was the last thing she remembered before her vision went black.“Hah!” Aleah jolted awake, her chest heaving. “Ow, my head...” she groaned, instinctively reaching for her scalp. Her fingers brushed against a bandage.

    Hunter got a call from Rafael, saying the senator fought back when they tried to arrest him at his house. He managed to escape, and now the cops were on his tail. Without a word, Hunter grabbed his things and left. Michael and Samuel didn’t ask questions; they just followed their Alpha like always.Hunter headed straight for the airport, like he had a sixth sense about where the senator might be. He wandered around, scanning the crowds, until his eyes zeroed in on a man in a big hat and a scruffy beard."Hey, where do you think you’re going?" Hunter said sharply, stepping in front of the man. Michael and Samuel exchanged puzzled looks, wondering why Hunter was stopping him.Out of nowhere, Andrew stepped forward and landed a solid punch on the guy. The impact sent him flying, knocking his hat clean off. Michael and Samuel stood frozen in shock—it was the senator, the very man they had been hunting down.

    During a conference, Hunter announced that a warrant of arrest had already been issued against the senator, along with solid evidence to prove the senator's crimes. Hunter also revealed that they would not only file charges for rape with murder, but would also include kidnapping in the list of cases stacked against the senator. However, the senator vehemently denied the allegations against him.The senator claimed that the prosecutor was merely doing this for attention. He also accused Hunter of aiming to make a name for himself. Furthermore, the senator denied the accusation that he abducted the family of Hunter's older brother.“Why did you bring us here?” Aleah asked in confusion when the senator and his men took them to the wilderness.“Your husband is too stubborn. He doesn’t care even though we told him we have you; he still pursued the case against me,” the senator snapped angrily.“He’s not a weak soldier, Mr. Sen

    "Miss Aleah, there’s a client outside,” the paralegal said as she peeked into Aleah’s office. “He’s asking to meet you here.”“Alright, let him in,” Aleah replied without glancing up. Because of this, she didn’t notice the armed men quietly standing behind the paralegal, guns pointed at her. Moments later, the "client" entered her office.“Mrs. Bryant. Finally, we meet. And they weren’t exaggerating—Hunter’s one lucky guy to have such a stunning wife.” Aleah looked up, her eyes widening in shock. She hadn’t expected to see the senator in her office, of all places. With Dennis out handling a case, she was completely on her own.“Don’t even think about doing anything stupid, Mrs. Bryant,” the senator warned as she started to move. “See these men? They’re armed. One wrong move, and today might just be your last.”“What do you want from

    "Zen!" Aleah called out, practically running to Hunter as they arrived at the Bryant mansion. She threw her arms around him, holding on tight. "What’s going on? Is something wrong?" she asked, her voice full of worry. Hunter let out a sigh and began explaining the mess they were in—how Isaac, Aurora, and Francis had been kidnapped. He added that Bernard, his kids, and Clarisse managed to escape, with Clarisse leaving the island earlier. The kidnappers were demanding Hunter drop the case in exchange for their safety."You’re not seriously thinking about dropping the charges, right?" Aleah asked, her tone a mix of concern and disbelief."And what’s that supposed to mean?" Michelle chimed in, rolling her eyes. "You think it’s okay to just leave Francis, Aurora, and Isaac with those scumbags? Come on, Aleah, you of all people know what it's like to be in the hands of kidnappers!" Her words were sharp, cutting through the tense air."Guys, sto
