“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

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

“Then find someone else for the mission,” Hunter shot back, his voice calm but icy. “I don’t appreciate being blindsided like this. You’ve already ruined enough of my Christmas morning. Now leave.” The Alpha’s jaw tightened as irritation flickered across his face, but he managed to keep his composure. “Fine. But you have exactly one hour. Don’t be late.”“Got it. Don’t bother waiting for a thank you,” Hunter said, her tone sharp and cold. She shut the gate without so much as a goodbye to the Alpha and stormed back into the house. The Alpha stood there, speechless, processing her reaction before quietly signaling his companions to leave.Inside, Hunter found Aleah in the kitchen, cleaning up in silence. He walked over, trying to take the trash she was holding, but Aleah snatched it back, and the contents spilled onto the floor. They both stared at the mess for a moment before Aleah bent

"Are you really gone?" Aleah asked, sitting on her bed while clutching her pillow tightly. Her gaze remained fixed on the letter and the ring given to her by the Alpha. They lay on her bed—Hunter's ring, handed to her by the Alpha when he broke the devastating news about Hunter's death. She learned that inside the envelope, there was also a letter.Two days had passed, yet Aleah had not brought herself to open and read Hunter's letter. She tried to carry on with her daily life, holding onto the faintest hope that the Alpha's news wasn't true. However, just the day before, Hunter's group, accompanied by Rafael, visited her at the university and asked if she was okay. In that moment, her resolve to believe that Hunter was still alive was shaken. How could she stand firm when those closest to him also believed he was gone? Even Rafael, who was practically like a brother to him, seemed to share the same conviction.. “We’ll finish the rest of this when I get

"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’
