2025-03-21 05:30:42"Mama?!" exclaimed Aleah in surprise upon seeing her mother with Atty. Brambilla, waiting for them in the airport's arrival area. She looked at Hunter in confusion, and it was only then that she realized what country they had traveled to. She noticed Hunter nodding at her, as if to say it was okay to approach her mother.
Aleah immediately ran toward her mom and hugged her tightly, as if it had been ages since their last meeting. Hunter silently followed them, pushing the trolley with their luggage.
"Hunter, thank you for bringing my daughter here," Elara said upon seeing Hunter approach them, then stepped back from her daughter.
"What do you mean by that?" Aleah asked, still confused, and looked at Hunter.
"Hunter called me the other day and told me you were coming to visit," Elara explained. "He said you’ve been crying every night and calling out for me. You’re very thoughtful—thank you so much," she added, turning her attention to the

Son, have you been waiting long?" Don Antonio asked as he approached Hunter, who was seated inside an elegant restaurant with dim lighting and soft instrumental music playing in the background. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and warm bread filled the air, setting a calm yet tense atmosphere. Upon seeing the elder, Hunter immediately rose from his chair to greet him, his posture formal and composed."Please, have a seat. My apologies for keeping you waiting," Don Antonio said as he lowered himself into the empty chair across from Hunter, his movements deliberate and marked with authority."You could have simply visited the mansion. Why did we need to meet in a public place like this?" the elder remarked, his voice carrying a subtle tone of curiosity and unease.Hunter leaned forward slightly, his expression grave. "I’ll get straight to the point. I didn’t ask to meet you as the husband of your granddaughter, but as an officer of the law," he decla

"Aleah," Hunter called softly as he arrived at the hospital. His voice, though steady, carried a weight of concern as he approached with Rafael and other members of the Astral Guardians trailing behind him. The corridor outside the operating room was dimly lit, the sterile scent of antiseptics lingering in the air. The faint hum of medical machines and the occasional muffled voices of nurses passing by only amplified the tension hanging in the atmosphere.Standing just outside the operating room, Aleah was anxiously waiting for news about her mother. She had been holding herself together with all her might, but the moment her eyes landed on Hunter, her resolve cracked. Silent tears began streaming down her face, betraying the overwhelming emotions she had fought so hard to contain."Ale—" Hunter began, stepping closer to her, but his words were abruptly silenced when Aleah closed the distance between them, wrapping her arms tightly around him. A sob escaped her a

Hunter entered the room where Aleah was staying at the hotel. He noticed his wife asleep on the bed, her features illuminated by the dim, warm glow of the bedside lamp. As his eyes lingered on her peaceful face, he caught sight of her puffy, reddened eyelids—evidence of the tears she'd shed. His chest tightened at the thought of her pain.“This brat,” Hunter muttered under his breath, shaking his head with a mix of affection and frustration. He quietly approached her, each step deliberate to avoid waking her. Sitting gently on the edge of the bed, he carefully adjusted the blanket to ensure she was comfortably covered. Afterward, his gaze softened as he studied her features, brushing away strands of hair that had fallen over her face.“You’ve been through so much,” he whispered, his voice barely audible, laden with regret. “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about your grandfather and the truth about who he really was.

When Aleah and Hunter returned to the country, they were immediately welcomed by a call from the elderly patriarch, Don Sebastian. He had insisted that they stay at the expansive Bryant mansion for a week before moving to Hunter's house in the Astral Guardians' Compound. The mansion stood as a symbol of grandeur and tradition, a place that carried both history and the weight of family expectations.“Are you alright with coming back here to the mansion?” Hunter asked as he stepped out of the car and held the door open for Aleah. His gaze caught hers as she lingered, her eyes momentarily fixated on the grand structure before them. It wasn’t her first time seeing it, but its imposing size and the memories it held still had the power to unsettle her. This was the place she had called home for a while during their engagement—an arrangement born not of romance but of a pact between Sebastian and Damian.“Daniela also stayed here while waiting fo

"Sorry, I can't join you here. I had an urgent call," Hunter said to Aleah as she walked him to the grand iron gates outside the mansion. The crisp morning air carried the faint scent of blooming flowers from the garden. Hunter had suddenly received a call from an officer of the Astral Guardians, summoning him to the camp. The Alpha King had learned of his return and insisted on his presence, emphasizing the urgency of the matter."I can't do anything about it. You're heading to work, after all. Even if I tried to stop you, you wouldn't listen," Aleah replied, her voice tinged with a mix of acceptance and sadness. She wrapped her arms around herself, shielding against the morning chill."Good thing you understand. Will you be okay?" Hunter asked, his intense gaze fixed on her face, as if trying to gauge her emotions."Of course," Aleah said with a forced smile, her eyes betraying a hint of unease."Don't act so tough, clumsy girl," Hunter teased, breaking

Aleah walked into the kitchen and found Daniella, Michelle, and Aurora busily preparing breakfast. It was a surprising sight for her—back when she lived in the mansion, she was used to seeing the household staff take care of such tasks. The family members rarely, if ever, lifted a finger in the kitchen. But here, for the first time, she saw these women actively cooking, moving with practiced ease as they chopped, stirred, and arranged ingredients. What caught her attention even more was how effortlessly they worked together, their laughter and light banter filling the air. It was evident that Daniella had already won their affection.“G-good morning. Can I help with anything?” Aleah’s voice was hesitant but hopeful. She had woken up early, thinking it would be a good idea to lend a hand. Helping in the kitchen seemed like a way to make herself useful and to prove that she wasn’t just a burden on Don Sebastian’s family. It also seemed like an

Dalia! Tommy! Ramil!" exclaimed Aleah in surprise as she stepped out of the car, her expression shifting from confusion to delight upon seeing the three eagerly waiting by the door of Hunter’s house in the Astral Guardians compound. She had barely taken a step when the sound of the gate opening drew her attention—it was Rafael. Not surprising, she thought. Rafael was always around Hunter, and it wouldn’t be shocking to learn his house was also within the compound. His presence there only added to her growing curiosity."Big Sis Aleah!" shouted Dalia and Tommy, their faces lighting up as they ran toward her. The twins practically launched themselves into her arms, hugging her tightly. Overwhelmed but smiling, Aleah gently hugged them back. Her eyes shifted to Hunter, who stood nearby with his usual calm demeanor. She noticed Ramil approaching him, and in that moment, Hunter handed over their bag to the younger man."How are you?" Ramil greeted her with an

"Why is the kitchen light on?" Hunter asked as he entered their home, his voice tinged with curiosity. It was late into the night, and he assumed everyone, including Aleah, was fast asleep. However, the glow coming from the kitchen immediately caught his attention. Instead of turning on the living room light, he quietly made his way toward the source of the illumination. He was curious to see who was awake at such an unusual hour.Standing at the doorway, Hunter was greeted by an unexpected sight. Aleah sat at the kitchen table, her posture heavy with dejection. In front of her was a plate of food that, even from a distance, looked disastrously overcooked. Her chin rested on one hand as she stared blankly at the plate, seemingly deep in thought. The sight of her, lost in her own world, piqued Hunter’s interest. His gaze shifted to the charred food she seemed to be contemplating, and he furrowed his brows, wondering what could be running through her mind."What are yo

"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.

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.

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

Hunter spoke to Francis, urging him to make time for his child and explaining why his child had been acting out. At first, Francis was reluctant to listen, arguing that it wasn’t Hunter’s place to interfere in their family issues, especially since Hunter wasn’t a "true Bryant." But Hunter didn’t let that stop him from making Francis understand his shortcomings as a father.Francis eventually promised to make time for his child. He said he would bring Isaac along on their next outing with Aurora, Bernard, Clarisse, and Bernard’s children for a chance to bond. However, this being the family's first vacation together, Francis struggled from the very first day due to the emotional distance between him and his son. Fortunately, Aurora stepped in to mediate, and Bernard and Clarisse also helped bridge the gap. Perhaps due to their experience with Aleah and her family, they found it easier to adapt to the situation.Francis felt unsure of what to say

“Why aren’t you and Dad more alike? He’s so harsh with me,” Isaac muttered, frustration clear in his voice. Sometimes, he couldn’t help but wonder—did his dad even love him? All he wanted was to be the kind of son his father could proudly acknowledge, someone he could hold up like his other children.Hunter leaned against the bars with a small smile. “Trust me, your dad’s a lot kinder than I am. People don’t call me the Demon Alpha for nothing, you know?” He smirked. “I mean, let’s face it—I’m the family rebel. I went off on my own path, completely ignoring what they wanted for me. Your dad, though? He’s the golden child. He’s spent his whole life trying to protect our family’s reputation and live up to being the eldest. You’ve got to cut him some slack, kid.”Isaac stayed quiet, though the faint growl from his stomach betrayed him. Aleah, standing nearby, look
