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

  • Becoming the Demon Alpha's Bride   Secrets and Expectations

    "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

  • Becoming the Demon Alpha's Bride   When Hearts Can’t Ignore

    "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

  • Becoming the Demon Alpha's Bride   When Logic Clashes with Empathy

    "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

  • Becoming the Demon Alpha's Bride   To Protect the Innocent

    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

    You’re the first person to say that. I remember someone once saying this house screams way too much of—” Hunter stopped mid-sentence as his eyes landed on Aleah. Her sharp glare was all it took to silence him. For a moment, he froze, then bit back a grin at the fierce expression on her face. She looked adorable when she was mad, though he didn’t dare say that out loud.“Really?” Aleah chimed in, her voice sweet but with a subtle edge. “Sounds like that person didn’t know the first thing about good interior design,” she said, her smile polite but pointed.“Think so?” Hunter replied, a playful smirk tugging at his lips as he glanced at Aleah, who was trying hard to keep her irritation under wraps.“Can we check out the second floor?” Dave cut in, breaking the exchange between the two.“Sure, let’s go,” Hunter said, motioning toward the stairs. But as Aleah moved to lead

    Hunter's voice cut through the quiet hum of the yard. "Hey, what are you up to?" he asked, his brows furrowing as he spotted Aleah crouched among the grass, trimming away.She paused mid-snip, turning to him with a sheepish smile. "Just cutting some grass. It’s gotten too wild. Mang Ponce called earlier—his wife is sick, so they can’t make it today. I figured I’d handle it. It’s not a big deal."Hunter sighed, shaking his head as he walked closer. "Aleah," he said, his tone soft but firm, "you shouldn’t be doing this, not when you’re carrying our baby." He gently took the trimmer from her hands and helped her to her feet, his touch warm and protective. "Your body isn’t just yours right now, you know," he added, his hand settling lovingly over her belly.Aleah rolled her eyes but couldn’t suppress a smile. "You always worry too much," she teased. "It’s just a bit of grass. I’m fine—"Before sh

    When Aleah stepped into Hunter's house, she was greeted by all their friends, including Francis, whose face lit up at the sight of her.“Aunt Aleah! You’re safe! I’m so sorry I couldn’t do anything to protect you,” Isaac said, his voice laced with guilt. “But I promise, I’ll start learning martial arts right away. Next time, I’ll be the one keeping you safe.”Aleah smiled warmly, holding his hand. “That’s so sweet of you, Isaac. I’m just glad we’re all okay.”Francis approached them, his gratitude shining through his words. “Aleah, because of your courage, my family and I are safe. I owe you more than I could ever repay.”“Thank you for everything, Aleah,” Aurora added, stepping closer with a bright smile. Aleah nodded at them, her heart full of gratitude.“Some things never change, huh?” Elara teased with a knowing smile as she looked at h

    I’ll end this right now!” Jonathan snarled, gripping the paddle so tight his knuckles turned white. He raised it, ready to strike Hunter again. But before he could swing, Aleah threw herself in front of Hunter, wrapping her arms around him tightly and squeezing her eyes shut. “Wha—” Jonathan's words froze mid-sentence as a firm hand grabbed the paddle. Aleah's eyes snapped open, and there stood Charles, holding the paddle steady. “You need to stop this, sir,” Charles said, calm yet commanding. “Who the heck are you?” Jonathan asked, his confusion evident as he took in the newcomer. “I’m Officer Charles Cordero with the Astral Guardians. Alpha Hunter’s mentee and personal aide,” Charles replied coolly. “Charles…” Aleah whispered, relief washing over her voice. Charles yanked the paddle from Jonathan’s grasp and shot a look at the group of men who had attacked Hunter. As his eyes shifted to an intense, glowing blue, fear spread like wildfire, and the men scatt

    "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.
