2025-04-21 05:15:36Aleah got dropped off by a teenage boy right in front of the house she had been looking for. As she stood outside, she could hear loud voices and banging coming from inside. She glanced around—there were plenty of neighbors nearby, but none seemed to care. It was as if all that noise was just part of their everyday life. Was this what those women she met earlier were hinting at?
She was about to step closer to the house when, out of nowhere, a young woman in a jacket burst through the door. She was in such a rush that she didn’t even notice Aleah and slammed right into her. They both fell hard to the ground, and for a second, they just stared at each other, startled. The young woman looked even more surprised to see Aleah."Lea, get back here!" shouted a woman who followed her out of the house. The moment she heard her mother’s voice, the young woman scrambled up and bolted, not even bothering to apologize to Aleah."Wait! Hold on!" Aleah called afte

The accused-appellant was found guilty of sexual assault under paragraph 2, Article 266-A of the Revised Penal Code (RPC). The Regional Trial Court (RTC) sentenced him to suffer imprisonment ranging from ten (10) years of prision mayor as minimum to seventeen (17) years and four (4) months of reclusion temporal as maximum. Additionally, he was ordered to indemnify AAA with the following amounts: ₱75,000.00 as civil indemnity, ₱75,000.00 as moral damages, and ₱30,000.00 as exemplary damages. This was the judgment issued by the judge who initially handled Lea's case. Based on Aleah’s research, the assailant pleaded not guilty to the charges filed against him. Over the years, however, he displayed good behavior while in prison, which led to his release after serving ten years.Aleah’s attention was caught by the news of the man’s release. In two days, the suspect would regain his freedom, and this was the reason behind Lea’s unease.“Why is Lea r

"Zen!!" Aleah jolted awake, gasping. Her eyes darted around the room—empty except for her and the stacks of case files she'd been reading. She rubbed her temples, realizing she'd fallen asleep while going through Lea's case. Her gaze landed on the papers, but her heart felt heavier than her tired eyelids. Had she been crying in her dream? The memory of it washed over her like a tide."Stupid Alpha," she whispered bitterly, tears welling up. "You came back, but why only in my dreams?""You really have no problem calling me stupid these days, huh?" came a familiar voice, rich with teasing warmth. "Looks like you’ve picked up cursing while I was away."Aleah whipped her head toward the sound. There he stood on the terrace, framed by the soft light spilling into her room. Her breath caught, and she blinked several times, unsure if her mind was playing tricks on her."Why are you staring at me like that? You’re not dreaming anymore, Aleah." His voice

"Did he leave… again?” The girl bolted upright, her heart racing as she stared at the empty room. She wasn’t imagining things—she knew she’d spoken to him last night. Throwing the blanket aside, she hurried to the closet. No sign of him there either. But the black jacket hanging neatly inside was proof—he was here. It wasn’t a dream.“Did he really leave?” she muttered, frustration spilling into her voice as she marched out of the room and headed downstairs. She came to a sudden stop mid-step, her nose catching the unmistakable aroma of breakfast being prepared. Her ears tuned in to faint sounds of movement coming from the kitchen.Could he really be…? Her pulse quickened, excitement bubbling up as she tiptoed the rest of the way. Peeking through the doorway, she froze. There he was, the Alpha she never thought capable of such things, wearing an apron and cooking like it was the most natural thing in the world.

"Seatbelt,” Hunter said, his voice firm but low. Without waiting for her to react, he leaned over, grabbed the seatbelt, and clicked it into place. The warmth of his hand sent a jolt through Aleah, and she couldn’t help but freeze in surprise. Her cheeks flamed, and for a second, she forgot how to breathe. Did he just—?Hunter settled back into his seat like nothing happened, his attention already on the road as he started driving. “So, tell me about this case,” he said, his tone casual yet curious. “Why does it matter so much to you? And what’s with the whole ‘worrying about what she might do’ thing?”Hunter and Aleah pulled up outside the correctional facility, just as Leah’s mother’s ex-husband walked out through the gate. Aleah spotted Leah right away, crouched behind a car with her hood up, gripping a knife.“What is she thinking?!” Aleah muttered under her breath. Her heart sank

Hunter glanced up at Aleah, a bit of curiosity in his voice. “Wait… so they’re not really related by blood?”“Nope,” Aleah replied, settling beside him on the bed as he flipped through Lea’s case files. “Lea said her mom’s ex-husband isn’t her real dad. Her mom married the guy after her actual dad bailed—like, a year after she was born.”Hunter nodded slowly, processing. “So, this guy… he raised her?”“Yeah. He’s the only dad she’s ever known,” Aleah said. “And he was great to her. Gave her everything she wanted, maybe even too much attention… you know?”Hunter raised an eyebrow. “Too much attention?”Aleah hesitated but pressed on. “They thought it was normal at first. He just seemed like a dad who really cared. But then, when she was eight, things… changed.”Hunter frowned. “What ha

Aleah couldn’t shake off the uneasy feeling gnawing at her. She had told Lea to stay safe, but something didn’t sit right. What if Lea didn’t listen? What if she went looking for him? Or worse—what if he came looking for Lea? Now that he was out of jail, anything felt possible, and Aleah couldn’t ignore the knot in her stomach.By the time she reached Lea’s place, Aleah overheard a couple of women chatting at a nearby sari-sari store. “You know,” one of them said, “last night there were loud banging noises coming from their house—middle of the night, too.” She shrugged. “But you know how it is. That house is always noisy. Roman’s usually drunk and fighting with her.”“Yeah,” the other one chimed in. “But it’s weird. The house has been quiet since last night. Not like Roman at all—he usually storms out to work after they fight, but nobody’s seen him.&rdquo

Aleah approached Lea’s mother in the hospital, noticing for the first time the bruises on her face and neck. Back at the house, amidst all the chaos, she hadn’t realized how battered the woman really was. She paused briefly to ask a nearby officer about the situation.“The man’s body was sent to the morgue,” the officer told her. “We’re waiting on the autopsy report to confirm the cause of death. We’ve also alerted multiple precincts to track down the suspect.”Aleah nodded, murmuring her thanks before making her way to Lea’s mother, who seemed lost in thought.“Have you found Lea?” the woman asked the moment she noticed Aleah.“Not yet,” Aleah admitted, her voice steady but soft. “We’re doing everything we can to find her. Please, don’t lose hope.”“Hope?” the woman scoffed bitterly. “That monster barely got punished for what he did.

Dennis burst into the precinct, eyes darting around until he spotted Aleah. She was standing by the corner, her arms folded tightly as if to keep herself together. Lea was sitting quietly on the bench nearby, her head bowed. The air was heavy with tension.“Hey,” Dennis said, his voice softer as he approached. “You alright? You had me worried there.”Aleah glanced up, managing a small smile. “I’m okay. Really. I wasn’t the one in danger.”Dennis followed her gaze to Lea. “How’d you get caught up in all this? You’ve got a habit of finding trouble.”Aleah let out a dry laugh. “Guess it’s my thing. But Dennis, it’s not about me right now. Can you handle her case? Do you think we can nail this guy for good?”He tilted his head, thinking for a moment. “I’ll need to dig into it, but yeah, I’m in. Actually…” He paused, a grin forming on his

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.

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,
Becoming the Demon Alpha's Bride The Lost Memories
"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
Becoming the Demon Alpha's Bride Tears in the Storm
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.
