Aria’s POV

I smiled faintly, choosing my words with care. “Well… I’m flattered. It’s a pleasure, really. An opportunity like this doesn’t come often.”

Selena’s grin widened just enough to show satisfaction—but not sincerity. “Of course. I knew you’d see the value. There’s a sports event coming up,” she said, brushing invisible lint off her sleeve. “You should come. Watch how the Alphas move—how perfectly in sync they are. It’s something worth witnessing.”

She said it like I’d be lucky just to breathe the same air as them.

Around us, I could feel the shift in the room—the weight of curious eyes and startled gasps settling over every corner. Eliza’s brows were halfway to her hairline, her mouth parting like she couldn’t believe what she’d heard.

The murmurs were immediate.

“Is this for real?”

“Selena never invites anyone outside her circle.”

“She must be up to something…”

“I’d kill for that invitation.”

“…Poor girl’s being set up.”

Selena stood smoothly, brushing back a stran

  • The Apex's hidden mate   Turn things around

    Aria’s POV The moment the ball slammed into our net, the entire stadium erupted — cheers and claps and a chorus of “GOAL!” echoing over the field. The Beta team jumped around celebrating. Meanwhile, I heard a harsh buzz, and the rogues on the field dropped like sacks of meat, their shock collars activated, leaving them unconscious for the break. I let out a long breath, wiping sweat from my brow as we regrouped near our side of the field. The big screens flickered, showing the commentators again. “And there you have it, folks! That’s exactly what we expected. The Violet Thunder team should probably just forfeit before they get themselves killed. Seriously, who names an Omega team that?” “I mean, really,” the second commentator laughed, “Omegas playing rogue ball? This is a death wish.” Eliza clicked her tongue, arms crossed. “Remind me later that we need to change the name of this team,” she grumbled. I managed a weak laugh. “How are you guys holding up?” Tyla scowled, rolli

  • The Apex's hidden mate   The game

    Aria’s POV As I was still conversing with Thane, the infirmary door swung open, and Eliza burst through, practically shouting. “It worked!” I jolted upright, eyes wide. “What? Really?” Eliza nodded so hard I thought her head might fly off. “Yes! They were just talking, you know, then they both fell asleep. ” Relief crashed through me. “That’s amazing,” I breathed. “Eliza, that’s… incredible.” Thane stood, a small smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. “That’s good news,” he said. “I’ll go check on them.” He slipped away toward the room, leaving me and Eliza alone. Eliza leaned closer with a mischievous grin. “You’re so lucky, you know that?” I blinked, caught off guard. “Lucky?” She jabbed a thumb toward the door. “Thane. You’d better treat him right, Aria, or someone else will.” I snorted. “Oh? You?” “Of course not me! I mean all those girls at the academy who practically worship the ground he walks on. You should see the way they look at him.” I couldn’t help but la

  • The Apex's hidden mate   Follow your heart

    Quin’s POVI stepped closer, my heart in my throat as I looked down at her — my wolf, only…not a wolf right now. Her human form looked so big yet so fragile, so tired. The way her chest rose and fell, slow and heavy, made something twist deep in my chest. Eliza hovered near me, watching with that fierce protectiveness I’d come to depend on. But all I could really see was her. How long had she suffered… because of me? “I’m so sorry,” I whispered, my voice cracking. “I’m so, so sorry.” Then — a tiny movement. Her fingers twitched, barely a shift, but enough that I saw it. My heart slammed against my ribs. Eliza leaned forward, eyes wide. “She moved,” she breathed. “Quin, she must be listening to you. Talk more.” I swallowed hard, feeling the sting of tears. “I…” My voice shook. “Even when I couldn’t see you for those five months, I felt you. I felt how much it hurt. Your sorrow, your pain — it was like I was drowning in it every day.” Her eyelids fluttered, a faint sign of li

  • The Apex's hidden mate   Not easy to talk about

    Aria’s POV “Eliza, where did you even get that conclusion from?” She didn’t answer me right away. Instead, she looked over at Quin, a silent conversation passing between them. Quin sighed, then met my eyes. “I told Eliza,” she said gently. “I told her it was you who saved me that day, Aria. What you did… it wasn’t something an omega could ever do.” Just then, the elevator pinged and opened, giving me a moment to breathe as I stepped out. Eliza looked around with huge eyes, her mouth falling open. “They even have a whole floor as their own hospital?” She turned toward me, wide-eyed. “That’s crazy, Aria.” I gave a halfhearted shrug. But she didn’t let it go. Eliza rounded on me again, her finger pointed like a dagger. “Don’t think we’re changing the subject just because i am admiring the place,” she warned. “Quin told me what happened, and I know there’s no way an omega could do that. You owe us the truth.” I drew in a slow breath. “Alright,” I sighed, “I’ll tell you.” Eliza cr

  • The Apex's hidden mate   Which one of them?

    Aria’s POVThe next day, I found myself back at Quin’s apartment. I stepped inside and heard laughter as I made my way to the living room. Quin and Eliza were side by side on the couch, their eyes glued to their phones, excitement practically buzzing off them. “I told you I’m the best sniper in Legion Warfare, admit it!” Quin was grinning ear to ear. Eliza rolled her eyes, tapping furiously at her screen. “You only look good because I keep reviving you when you do something dumb, genius.” They both burst out laughing, shoulders bumping like nothing had ever come between them. I cleared my throat.“So…I’m guessing you two sorted things out already?” They looked up, still smiling, their eyes a little softer,like scars had finally found a place to heal. Quin smirked, shoving Eliza’s shoulder. “Yeah, well. We decided we’re the best team there is — in Legion Warfare and in real life.” Relief flooded through me. “Good. Because I’d hate to see either of you fighting again.” Eliza shr

  • The Apex's hidden mate   Tough life ahead

    Aria’s POV I parked my bike beside the four familiar cars lined up at the far end of the hospital lot. The place looked normal enough on the outside, plain white walls, neat hedges, a metal gate. But I could sense the sterile, suffocating air of a psychiatric facility before I even stepped through the doors. Inside, I spotted them instantly. Even with their masks on, they stood out like wolves in a den of sheep. Tall, powerful, dressed in clothes far too sharp and expensive for this place. Thane looked up as I approached, giving me a relieved nod. “We waited,” he said simply. I returned a grateful smile, then turned with them toward the reception counter. The woman behind it glanced up, professional and polite. “We’d like to see a patient,” I asked. “Mr. Evans.” She blinked, typing something on her keyboard. “Are you relatives?” “No, we’re… just friends.” Her mouth pressed into a disapproving line. “I’m sorry, I can’t give out patient information to non-relatives.” I opened
