Two Years After……

2025-04-21 00:00:50"Finally, you made it!" Claire exclaimed, her face lighting up as she greeted Aleah at the church entrance. As Aleah came closer, Claire pulled her into a tight hug. "I was starting to think you'd skip my invitation again. You were this close to making me sulk," she teased.
"Sorry, I’ve been swamped," Aleah said sheepishly. Two years had passed since Claire and Rafael tied the knot, and more than two years since Hunter had been gone. Life had moved on. Rafael had climbed the ranks and was now a Major. After two years of married bliss, Claire and Rafael welcomed a healthy baby boy into their lives. They’d asked Aleah to be one of his godmothers. The church was filled with familiar faces too—members of the old Task Force Wolf who were also godparents to the couple’s firstborn."Well, look who decided to show up," Michael chimed in with a grin as Aleah walked in. "You’ve been ghosting us for two whole years," he joked. Being part of Hunter’

Aleah leaned against the wall outside the courtroom, watching the crowd spill out after the trial. She spotted a couple of reporters chatting as they walked past. One of them, not too discreetly, said, “Man, Dennis Espinosa is something else. He completely nailed it in there! The way he defended his client—what a pro.”Hearing that, Aleah couldn’t help but smile.It had only been two years since Dennis graduated from law school. He crushed the bar exam right after and, boom, he’s already running his own firm. What’s even more impressive? Most of his clients are people who could never afford a top-notch lawyer otherwise. People respect him not just for his skill but for his heart. Oh, and let’s not forget—he’s easy on the eyes. The kind of guy who, if he were a celebrity, would have fans swooning at every trial.Aleah had sat in on the trial earlier too. She had to admit, watching Dennis in action was something else

Aleah 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

"You’re being reckless again,” Hunter said, pushing himself off the hospital bed and letting go of Aleah’s hand. “You’re shaking, but here you are, worrying about everyone else’s safety instead of your own.”Aleah didn’t reply, but Hunter could see it—she was scared, terrified even. Yet, knowing her as well as he did, he knew she’d never ignore the injustices she witnessed.“What the hell are you doing? Get over here already!” the armed man barked at Aleah, his patience wearing thin. Aleah glanced at him briefly, then turned back to Hunter. The tension in the room was palpable; everyone inside seemed to be holding their breath.“Rafael, are you hearing me?” Hunter said into the device clipped to his ear. He’d been in the emergency room all along, tipped off that Shadow and the Iron Maiden’s operatives might target Claire after learning about Taniya. It had been days of stak
Becoming the Demon Alpha's Bride No Way Out
Everyone in the emergency room—doctors, patients—turned their heads in shock at the deafening sound of a gunshot. All eyes shifted to the glass door just as a security guard collapsed outside. Moments later, a man in tactical gear stormed in, dragging another guard who was clearly his hostage.The room froze. Nurses and patient companions panicked, racing toward the door leading to another section of the hospital. But their escape was short-lived as more men blocked the exits, forcing everyone back. With every way out sealed, tension filled the air.“If you don’t want this to be your last day alive, you’ll do exactly as we say,” the masked man barked. His grip on the hostage tightened as he scanned the terrified crowd. “Nobody leaves until we get what we came for. Got it? And to prove we mean business...watch this.”Without hesitation, he jammed a syringe into the neck of the hostage. The guard's eyes widened in terror a

"Claire! Watch out!" Aleah yelled as a woman suddenly dashed onto the road. Startled, Claire slammed on the brakes, sending both of them jerking forward. Luckily, their seatbelts kept them in place. Once the shock wore off, Claire turned to Aleah with wide eyes."Aleah, are you okay? Did you get hurt?" she asked, clearly worried."I’m fine," Aleah said, brushing it off. "But… I think we might’ve hit someone.""I swear, I didn’t mean to!" Claire blurted, panic creeping into her voice."Let’s go check," Aleah said, already getting out of the car. Claire followed quickly. As they rounded the front of the car, they saw a young woman sitting on the road. She looked terrified, her blonde hair and blue eyes immediately marking her as a foreigner."Are you okay? I’m so sorry! I didn’t see you—" Claire said as she approached the woman."Help me," the woman whispered, her voice shaky. Aleah and Claire exchanged une

"Alpha’s not with you?" Claire asked as Aleah walked into the hospital for her check-up. Yesterday, her cousin’s appointment got canceled because of that hostage situation. She was sure Hunter would be with Aleah this time, but seeing her alone was a surprise."He’s busy at work. Don’t worry, I’m fine. My belly’s not that big yet, so I can manage. Besides, I just came from work myself," Aleah said with a light smile before glancing over at the doctors talking to Uncle Luis. "New faces over there?""Yeah, they’re researchers from Scotland. They’re teaming up with the medical staff here to work on a new medicine," Claire explained, stealing a quick look at the doctors chatting with her dad. Just as she finished talking, the group started walking over."I’d like you to meet my doctor, Dr. Claire Ramirez," Uncle Luis said, beaming. "She’s one of the best surgeons we’ve got in this hospital. And I’m no

Oh, Alpha Hunter. Have you been here long?” Trisha asked with a curious look as she walked in, files in hand.Hunter glanced at her briefly before speaking. “No, but you're right on time. I need you to grab the test results from forensics—the one for the new case we're working on. It’s important.”Trisha nodded and headed off without hesitation. Hunter watched her leave for a moment before focusing back on the task at hand.Yesterday, he’d been pulled into an emergency meeting with the Alpha King and Navy Vice Admiral. It had been about the chilling discovery of street kids’ bodies in an abandoned building. The Vice Admiral thought the case tied into Hunter’s earlier work involving the Iron Maiden and a band of pirates.Months ago, Hunter had been sent undercover to an island suspected of being the pirates’ lair. It turned out to be much more than that. The island, dubbed “Death Island,” was actual

“Is there anything you’d like to eat?” Hunter asked, his tone soft and thoughtful as he looked at Aleah. She shook her head lightly, her lips forming a faint smile.“Please, don’t worry about me. I’m really not hungry yet,” Aleah replied, her voice gentle as she turned her gaze toward Jestina and Dave.“That’s a shame. Alpha’s cooking shouldn’t go to waste,” Dave remarked, eyeing the dishes before them.“Don’t mind me—enjoy the meal,” Aleah said simply.“Are you absolutely sure there’s nothing you’d like?” Hunter asked again, his fingers brushing hers gently as he reached for her hand. Jestina and Dave exchanged a glance, quietly noting the intimate bubble the couple seemed to share.“Tama si Alpha Hunter,” Jestina chimed in cheerfully, leaning forward slightly. “It’d be such a waste if you don’t eat.

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
