Chapter: strangers on the last train home 2The train slowed again without warning. Lena felt the change in the rhythm through the seat before the announcement came—another signal issue ahead, expected wait of fifteen to twenty minutes. A collective sigh seemed to move through the remaining cars, though in their section the only response was the soft shift of Noah’s coat as he leaned back.He glanced at her across the aisle. “At this rate we’ll get there sometime next Christmas.”“Optimistic of you.”“I’m trying.”The Christmas music overhead continued its quiet loop, the same soft instrumental version of a carol Lena half-recognized. Snow pressed against the windows in thicker streaks now, sticking to the corners of the glass. The carriage felt smaller without the earlier background noise of other passengers. Only the low mechanical hum of the idling train and the occasional creak of settling metal filled the space between songs.Noah reached into his satchel and pulled out a stainless-steel thermos. He unscrewed the cap, and

Chapter: strangers on the last train home 1The announcement crackled over the speakers for the third time in twenty minutes. Lena sat with her coat folded across her lap and watched the platform lights blur through the frost-edged window. Christmas Eve. The 11:40 train out of the city should have left an hour ago. Instead it sat on the tracks while the conductor offered the same tired apology about signal problems up the line.Most of the passengers had already given up and taken cabs or rideshares. The carriage had emptied until only a handful of people remained—an older couple near the front, a student with headphones three rows back, and the man sitting two seats ahead on the opposite side.Lena noticed him the moment she boarded. Tall, dark coat still buttoned, a simple black scarf, the kind of face that looked concentrated even in stillness. He had a paperback open on his knee but hadn’t turned a page in a while. Every so often he glanced at the dark window the same way she did, as if measuring the delay against the night

Chapter: bestfriends share a cabin 6Pale morning light filtered through the loft window in thin gray bands. Maya woke first, body heavy and warm under the quilt, Ethan’s arm locked around her waist. Snow still clung to the glass, but the howling wind of the night before had died to a soft whisper. The blizzard was finally loosening its grip on the mountain.She shifted carefully. Every muscle carried the pleasant ache of the previous night—thighs, hips, the tender flesh between her legs. The memory of his mouth, his hands, the thick stretch of him inside her flooded back in vivid detail. Eleven years of friendship rewritten in the span of one storm.Ethan stirred behind her. His arm tightened, pulling her flush against his chest. She felt him hardening against the curve of her ass, the thick length of him already interested.“Morning,” he murmured against the back of her neck, voice rough with sleep.“Morning.”His hand slid down her stomach and between her legs without hesitation. Maya was still slick from the night be

Chapter: bestfriends share a cabin 5Ethan carried her up the narrow stairs without slowing, Maya’s arms looped around his neck, her bare skin pressed to his. The loft bedroom was colder than the main room; the wide window showed nothing but solid white. He set her down on the edge of the quilt-covered bed and reached for the small space heater in the corner, switching it on. Warm air began to hum into the space.Maya watched him in the low light from the hallway. His body still carried the marks of her nails. The thick length of him remained half-hard, glistening from both of them. The reality of the last hour settled over her in heavy waves—years of friendship rewritten in the span of one storm-locked night.Ethan turned back to her. “Lie back.”She scooted up the mattress until her head met the pillows. He followed, crawling over her, and kissed her slow and deep. The earlier raw edge had softened into something heavier. His hand stroked down her side, over the curve of her hip, then between her legs again. Maya was s

Chapter: bestfriends share a cabin 4Ethan kept her against his chest for several long minutes, one hand stroking slowly up and down her bare back. Maya listened to the steady thud of his heart and the relentless howl of the wind outside. The fire had burned down to glowing embers. Snow continued to pile against the windows in thick, silent drifts. Her body still trembled with small aftershocks, the thick heat of him only recently withdrawn, the evidence of what they had done slick between her thighs.He pressed a soft kiss to her temple. “You okay?”“More than okay.” Her voice came out low and a little raw. “Just… adjusting.”“To me being inside you?”A flush climbed her cheeks even after everything they had already done. “To all of it.”Ethan shifted, rolling her onto her back against the cushions. He braced himself above her, eyes dark in the dying firelight. “Good. Because I’m nowhere near finished with this cunt.”The crude words sent a fresh pulse of heat through her spent body. Maya’s breath caught as he kissed he

Chapter: bestfriends share a cabin 3Ethan kissed her again before either of them could speak. This time there was nothing tentative about it. His mouth claimed hers with open hunger, tongue sliding against hers in slow, deep strokes that made Maya’s stomach tighten. She answered him with equal need, fingers curling into the soft fabric of his sweater as she pulled him closer. The blanket slipped completely off her legs. Neither of them reached for it.His hand slid from her hair down the side of her neck, then lower, tracing the line of her collarbone through the sweater. When his palm settled over her breast, cupping her through the layers, Maya arched into the touch with a soft sound she couldn’t hold back.“Ah—”Ethan broke the kiss just enough to speak against her mouth. “That’s it. Let me hear you.”He squeezed gently, thumb brushing over the peak of her nipple until it hardened under the fabric. Maya’s breath hitched. Heat pooled low between her legs, sudden and sharp. Eleven years of careful friendship burned awa

Chapter: chapter 85: Milo's dreamSage's pov I was speechless. My daughter had just laid her heart bare in front of me, and I had no words to respond. She wanted them. She wanted to make this her home."I do not know what to say," I finally managed. "I cannot just leave my life behind. Everything I have built, everything I have worked for, it is all out there. And I cannot leave you here, Milo. I will not leave you. But I do not know what to do. I do not know how to make this work."I looked at her small face, at the hope shining in her eyes, at the trust she had placed in me. "Your safety is more important than anything else. More important than my comfort, more important than my fear, more important than anything. I will do whatever it takes to keep you safe."Milo nodded. "Alright. I know you will make the right decision for me."But as I looked at her, I felt like I would not be able to. The weight of her expectations pressed down on me, and I did not know which path was the right one.****The next day, I found

Chapter: chapter 84: get away from meSage's pov"Nothing is impossible. Do not let my father's words make you believe that."I shook my head. "I do not want to talk about this right now. Please. Just leave."The look he gave me was heartbreaking. His eyes were full of something I did not want to name, something that made my chest ache and my throat tighten. He opened his mouth as if to argue, then closed it again. He nodded slowly."At least when you decide to leave," he requested, "Tell us. Give us a chance to say goodbye. Do not disappear in the middle of the night like a thief. I do not want to wake up one day and find out you are already gone."The image was so ridiculous, that I could not help but laugh a little. Kael's lips twitched in response. We both chuckled, the tension between us easing just slightly.I gave him a tired smile. "I will not run away. I promise."I opened the door for him, and he paused in the doorway. Our eyes locked for a long moment. The air between us was thick with everything we had not said

Chapter: chapter 83: don't go near himsage's pov "Nothing is going on between Kael and me. You have nothing to worry about."The old Alpha King studied me for a moment, his cold eyes unblinking. "I do not care about that. Whether something is going on or not, I want you to reduce your contact with him. Stop spending time with him. Stop letting people see you together. It does not matter if it is innocent or not. Perception is everything, and the perception right now is that you are a distraction."I nodded. "Sure. No problem. Is that everything?"The old Alpha King waved his hand dismissively. "For now. You may go."I stood up and walked toward the door. My hand was on the handle when his voice stopped me."One more thing," he said. "You should think about settling down already. Your age, and the fact that you already have a child, reduces your worth on the market. You are not getting any younger, and your options are limited. My son deserves better than someone who comes with baggage. Keep that in mind."I did not reply

Chapter: chapter 82: manipulated plotSage's povI felt my body getting hotter just looking at him. It was crazy. He had always been this handsome, with his sharp jaw and his dark eyes and the way his hair fell across his forehead. I had noticed it before, when I was too young and too foolish to know better. But now it was getting more intense, more overwhelming. Because the reason I had hated him in the first place was fading away. The anger that had fueled me for seven years was crumbling, piece by piece, and without it, all that was left was him.My body felt hotter. My skin prickled. My breath came shorter. I swallowed hard and forced myself to look away, to focus on something other than the curve of his lips, the line of his jaw, the way his hands rested on the steering wheel."Let's leave this gloomy place already," I said roughly.Vex put the car in gear and drove. The detention center faded behind us. But we were not heading toward the pack house. The streets were unfamiliar, the buildings smaller, the lights dimme

Chapter: chapter 81: soft acceptanceSage's povI was too stunned to speak. I could only watch Vex as he walked beside me, his hand still holding mine, his face set in stone. His parents' voices echoed behind us, but he did not look back. He just kept walking, his grip firm and steady, as if he had been waiting years to do this and was not going to let anything stop him now.I could not believe this could ever happen. Vex defending me. Was choosing me over them.So Vex truly never tried to kill me. The shock collar had been sabotaged by his brother. The rogue had been sent to kill me by someone else. Vex had been cruel, yes. He had been arrogant and dismissive and emotionally cold. But he had not wanted me dead.We got outside. Vex released my hand and walked to the driver's side of the car. I climbed into the passenger seat. He got in, slammed his door, and then slammed his forehead against the steering wheel.The thud was loud in the quiet of the car."What are you doing?" Vex did not lift his head. "Why did you let

Chapter: chapter 80: she is smarterVex's povMy father waved his hand dismissively, his face still red with anger. "This is nonsense. This does not connect anything. You have a video of Carson in a workshop. You have a video of yourself picking up a collar. You have a video of a rogue being released. None of this proves that Carson tampered with the specific collar that was used on that specific rogue."My mother nodded, stepping closer to the cell. "That is right. How do you even know it is the same rogue? And even if it is, this is something that happened seven years ago. Why are you dealing with it now? Why dredge up the past?"I looked at my mother, then at my father. Their faces were hard, unyielding. "It is never too late to get justice for Sage," I said.Carson laughed from inside his cell. "Justice? She deserves what happened to her anyway. She is a Blackwood. Her father was a traitor. Her mother died of shame. The whole family is cursed. She should be grateful she is still breathing."My father turned to Sage

Chapter: Low levels Franco’s POV His grin cracked. A twitch in the corner of his mouth. “What did you just say?” Anthonio’s voice dropped. “I said,” I straightened, water dripping down my jaw, “are you the dog… or the bone?” For a heartbeat, there was silence. Then his smile returned, uglier this time, stretched thin with rage. “Mind your words here, Franco,” he hissed. “In this place, there’s hierarchy. And you—” he jabbed a finger hard against my chest, right where the bandages soaked through “you’re at the bottom. You’ll stay at the bottom.” “And why,” I purred, “are you so sure of that?” He laughed. Not because it was funny, but because he wanted to cover the crack in his confidence. “Because you thought it was smart to fight one-on-one with Lord Matteo.” I let the corner of my mouth curl. “I know what’s going on,” I said, my voice steady, calm. “None of you can survive going one-on-one with Lord Matteo. But now that I did it, it’s pricked your fragile egos. The idea that someone beneath you

Chapter: Broken memoryFranco’s POV I ran, my bare feet slapping against the rough floor, the air thick with dust and the reek of rot. My voice sliced through the path. “I’ll catch you, Federica….” She shrieked with laughter ahead of me, weaving between obstacles. She thinks she can outrun me.I lunged. My body collided with hers, and we tumbled across the dirt, grit grinding into our skin, hair tangled with dust. She rolled over, wide-eyed, panting, cheeks red with life. “How… how could you even run faster than me?” I laughed. “Simple,” I replied, brushing dirt from my lips. “You’re just slow.” Her pout was adorable. “That’s not fair” it wasn’t always like this. We once in an orphanage—four walls, one meal, and rules that I was stubborn to follow. But when they came for me, saying that I was going to be the only one adopted, I refused. I wouldn’t leave my twin behind. So we ran. Into the world that didn’t give a damn if we starved or rotted. We learned quickly. Scraps became feasts. Leftover

Chapter: Not who he really isMatteo’s POV I sat at the edge of the bed, the mirror catching every ugly angle of the bastard’s handiwork. My jaw throbbed where Franco’s knuckles had kissed bone. I dabbed antiseptic over the cut, the sting biting deep, and I almost smiled at it. Pain doesn’t bother me. It reminds me I’m still human—barely. The bandage stuck halfway when I tilted my head, studying the bruise blooming across my cheek like a fucked-up masterpiece. Franco landed a good one. But that wasn’t what gnawed at me. What twisted in my chest was the fact I held back. I didn’t go full strength on him. Why the fuck didn’t I? I strapped the last of the gauze around my jaw, tugged it firm, and leaned back in the bed. The image of Franco pinned beneath me. My weight pressing him into the floor. It felt familiar. A knock split the thought in half, dragging me back from the edge of memory. “Matteo,” came the butler’s voice. I pushed off the bed, rolling my sore jaw before I crossed the room and yanked open

Chapter: Love isn’t a good thingFranco’s POV I feared for a split second that he would recognize me, that the name Franco wouldn’t be enough to mask the truth beneath my skin. But what stared back at me wasn’t recognition. It was disgust. That same look I remembered from the end. The look that told me I was no longer enough. He shoved the supplies toward me. “I was told to bring this to you, Franco.” His tone was clipped, detached, as though even standing there dirtied him. My hand trembled for a heartbeat before I snapped myself out of it, snatching the kit from him without a word. His jaw flexed, irritation flashing in his eyes. “I was also told to treat your wounds.” “No,” I cut in, voice rough but steady. “I’ll do it myself.” That wall of rejection—the one I’d spent years tearing my fists bloody against—slammed back into me with brutal force. Memories of everything all crashed down on me at once. Antonio’s nostrils flared, his annoyance sharp. “Do whatever the hell you want. If you bleed out, it’s not

Chapter: Crushed underFranco’s POV Il Campo di Sangue. The name of the field we were to fight on. Blood and soil, a canvas made for me to paint in red. I smiled slowly, letting him see just enough of my teeth to make it unclear if it was amusement… or hunger. “I love the name,” I purred, my voice low, savoring the syllables as if they were already dripping with his blood. In my head, I saw it clearly—his body folded under me, his breath rattling as I drove the life out of him. The great Matteo, brought to his knees in his own sacred field. Would I survive him? Maybe not. His strength radiated off him in waves, a predator’s dominance. But arrogance was my armor, and cruelty was sharper than steel. If I could not overpower him, I could unmake him. Break him from the inside out. I tilted my head, feigning curiosity, but every word was a sharpened barb. “Are we using weapons,” I asked, voice slow, deliberate, “or are you too much of a pussy to stand with only your hands?” His jaw flexed.

Chapter: Round the neckMatteo’s POV I leaned against the railing of the estate’s upper balcony, the breeze toying with the hem of my unbuttoned black silk shirt. Binoculars perched against my eyes, I scanned the maze garden with all the calm of a man watching Sunday cartoons, except these episodes bled.Blood was everywhere. smudges of red on the hedge wall. A body slumped like a discarded puppet. Screams muffled by the high hedges. I didn’t bother telling the applicants everything they’d encounter. Where’s the fun in that? The butler warned them it’d be dangerous. Just enough of a disclaimer to keep the lawsuits away. Not that anyone here gave a damn about legality. See, inside the maze, there weren’t just scared little wannabes trying to prove they were worthy of the De Luca syndicate. No. I’d slipped in some rogues, traitors, loose ends, thorns in my side. People who thought they could go against me and live to brag about it. The kind of men with grudges in their bones and death behind their eyes.

The Apex's hidden mate
MATURED CONTENT!!! “
I could smell how much you want us.”
I moaned, my body arching against his touch. I felt hands on my body, fingers tracing the curves of my breasts, my hips, my thighs. I shivered in pleasure, my body on fire.
Ryker leaned in, his breath hot against my ear as he whispered, "You have no idea how badly we've been longing for this.
Caspian chuckled darkly, his large hand cupping one of my breasts. "Mmm, and what a sight you are. So wet for us already."
Thane's voice was a rumble in his chest as he ran his fingers along my inner thigh.
“I could taste your desire, even in your sleep. You've been craving our touch."

Forced into the lowest class due to a suppressed wolf form, Aria endures humiliation, cruelty, and punishment just to earn her freedom from her manipulative stepmother’s grasp.

She’s hiding something far more dangerous than anyone can imagine. An ancient, overpowered lineage that could tip the balance of the entire werewolf world.
When she crosses paths with the untouchable Apex brothers, sparks fly, tempers flare, and forbidden bonds begin to form. Cold and brooding Kaid. Flirtatious and broken Ryker. Gentle and haunted Thane. Reckless and loyal Caspian.
They’re drawn to the girl who refuses to kneel, even as their enemies conspire to tear them apart.
As a deadly rogue faction emerges and secrets buried in blood and betrayal come to light, Aria must embrace the monster she was told to fear… or lose everything.
Fate gave her four mates.
Power made her a target.
But it’s her rage that will make her a legend.

Chapter: Finally coming to an endI am so grateful for reading the end of this amazing journey with me but this story is far from over. You can check the comments for details. A sequel for this book is already available. The Eleanor is coming back, but she will have to take over a body from her lineage. And who will it be . A woman named Eleanor, who was raised as a human because she was switched at birth. And guess who are her mates. Aria’s grand children’s. That were stolen for slavery at birth. This story is intense. And I hope you will enjoy it. Here is an epilogue for you to enjoy: The heavy oak door closed with a soft click, sealing away the outside world. Inside the opulent chamber, the air was thick with the scent of expensive perfume and rage. Bianca, her body swollen with late-term pregnancy, hurled a crystal vase against the far wall. It shattered, scattering shards like diamonds across the plush rug. A guttural scream of frustration tore from her throat. Celeste stood calmly by the door, havi

Chapter: New law Aria’s POV Six months later. I pushed open the heavy oak doors of the council chamber, my head throbbing from the hours of circular arguments. The air outside was crisp and clean, a stark contrast to the stifling tension I'd just left. Quin was leaning against the opposite wall, a cool bottle of water in her hand. She passed it to me without a word. I cracked it open and took a long, grateful gulp. "How did it go?" she asked. "Less terrible than the last one," I sighed, leaning back against the wall beside her. The summary is this: Eleanor's warriors surrendered when she died, but Mr. X is still in the wind. The humans want werewolves permanently banned from their cities. The packs, obviously, refuse. A lot of humans have already left the territories, and honestly, I don't blame them for that. It was strange, finding myself in these rooms. In the power vacuum after the war, my name—and my role in ending it—had somehow landed me a seat at this table. I was now one of the voices t

Chapter: It’s far from over Aria’s POV "How... how do you know that spell?" Eleanor whispered, her voice trembling with a mixture of shock and fury. "My mother knew you would never stop," I said, looking down at her trapped form. "She knew you would try to kill me one day. So, she hid the memory of this spell deep inside my mind, locked away where you could never find it, no matter how deeply you scoured my thoughts when I was under your control." Eleanor's expression shifted. The rage bled away, replaced by a strange, hollow realization. "All this time..." she murmured, a broken, scoffing laugh escaping her. "All this time, I thought the spell had died with her. I searched for it for years. And she just... hid it away from me." Her laugh turned bitter. "That spell was supposed to be my ultimate weapon. The winning trophy. Instead of all these convoluted steps, I could have simply used it on my enemies. But I never knew the full lyrics. I tried for years to replicate it, to find the rest on my own, but I fail

Chapter: Trump cardAria’s POV "That isn't mercy," I said, my voice flat. "It's just delayed cruelty." Eleanor's smile was a sharp, wicked thing. "Everything would have gone smoothly. I killed both the clone and your real father. Then, I will make your mother run mad. I was set to take the throne with the twin brother, though I always planned to dispose of him later. But there was one flaw I didn't expect." Her eyes narrowed on me. "My sister was pregnant." "Since you knew I was her daughter," I asked, the pieces clicking into a horrifying mosaic, "why didn't you kill me then?" Eleanor stood up from her throne, her form radiating pure malice. "Don't think you're special, girl. The only reason you drew breath is because Eliana, in her final moments of clarity, discovered I was the mastermind. She fled and placed a protective spell on you. A powerful one. If any harm came to you, it would return to the sender a millionfold." She spat the words, her fury at being thwarted still fresh. "Of course, such

Chapter: That was mercy Aria’s POV I turned to my mates, my voice cutting through the din of battle. "You know what to do. Show them why you're called the Apex Brothers." With synchronized nods, they moved. It was like watching a force of nature. Kaid's gauntlets flared, slamming into the ground and sending a shockwave that tore a path through the enemy line. Thane moved with precision, his strikes disabling machines with targeted, devastating efficiency. Caspian was a whirlwind of reckless motion, and Ryker fought with a deadly grace that was all his own. Their weapons glowed, a symphony of power and intent. They carved a path through the chaos, and we ran. Eliza, Tyla, Quin, and I sprinted through the opening they made. But then a sharp, invasive pain lanced through my skull. I stumbled, gritting my teeth. I knew this feeling. It was Mr. X, his psychic claws scrabbling at the edges of my mind, trying to find a way back in. My sixth sense screamed a warning. I shoved Eliza hard, yelling, "Watch out!"

Chapter: Take our future backAria’s POV Hours later. At night The heavy bunker door hissed shut, sealing Eliza, Tyla, and Quin inside. They were back, and they’d brought the crucial materials, though not without a cost. Scratches and burns marked their suits, but the fatigue in their eyes was the real tell. Seeing them hurt sent a sharp pang through me, but it was followed by a surge of power, the same strengthened core energy that had been growing since I solidified my bonds with my mates. A chant, one I’d heard my stepmother whisper when repairing her own minions, surfaced in my mind. I didn't understand all the words, but I felt their intent. A soft, violet light had emanated from my palms, washing over their injuries. The cuts sealed, the burns faded to pink, then smooth skin. The weariness in their postures lifted. Now, we were all together. My fated mates. My friends. And me, the link between them all, all in the main room. Eliza laid the rare, crystalline materials on the central table. They glow
