Aria’s POV

My mother.

She was fighting. Fighting Mr. X, her face a mask of pure rage, light exploding from her hands.

My mind reeled. My chest felt like it might cave in.

“Mom…?” I breathed, the word tearing from me in a broken whisper.

Everything froze.

Mr. X let out a strangled grunt, his fingers snapping away from my throat as he stumbled back like he’d been burned.

My feet hit the ground hard, knees nearly buckling as I dragged in ragged, desperate breaths.

He clutched at his head, face twisting in pain. “What…what’s happening?” he hissed, voice raw and shaking.

My heart slammed against my ribs as I stared at him, that single memory of my mother still burned behind my eyes like a brand.

The four puppet moved again, closing in with eerie precision. I braced myself, too dizzy to fight back, eyes squeezing shut for the impact.

But it never came.

A roar split the air, followed by a blur of motion. I opened my eyes just in time to see Kaid crashing into one of them, teeth b

  • The Apex's hidden mate   We meet again

    Aria’s POV I sat in the lab room, cold air prickling my skin even through the thin hospital gown. My blood had been drawn over an hour ago. The doctors said it wouldn’t take this long to get the results. So why weren’t they back? My stomach churned, but not from fear. From fury. I knew what this was. Selene. Of course it was her. Who else would go so far just to destroy everything I am? She’d ruined my moment of peace. My bond with the Apex brothers, my mates. Just when I was finally getting closer to them, letting them in, this had to happen. Of course it did.My thoughts were shattered by the shrill, robotic sound of a phone ringing. I blinked, turning toward the source. The hospital’s internal line. One of those white, clunky phones by the wall. I ignored it at first. It wasn’t my business. But it rang again. And again. Tch. “Guess I’ll have to tell them no one’s here so they can stop disturbing me,” I muttered under my breath. I stepped across the tiled floor and pick

  • The Apex's hidden mate   The test result

    Kaid’s POV I stood there—silent. The phone had gone still in Aria’s hands, that twisted video ending like the final drop of poison. And now? Now my world was tilting. It didn’t make sense. None of it made sense. Aria? Our Aria? She was this? I couldn’t breathe for a second. The footage was convincing, too convincing. Her voice. Her mannerisms. Everything about it mirrored the Aria I knew. Or… thought I knew. But that’s the thing, isn’t it? If you think you know someone, and it turns out you don’t… what was ever real? My fists clenched. I’ve always had a nose for pretenders. I can sniff out liars, manipulators. I’ve torn them apart without blinking. So why didn’t I see this? Was it because of the mate bond? Did it blind me? Cloud all our judgment? Did she fake that, too? Is that even possible? I was starting to question everything—every damn thing. Her stubbornness. Her sharp tongue. The way her scent always soothed me. Was it all just part of the act? But my heart wa

  • The Apex's hidden mate   Setup

    Aria’s POV My head throbbed. Everything was spinning. I woke up to the sound of a distant explosion. The building shuddered. Dust rained down from the cracked ceiling. I tried to move, but my arms—my legs—something held them down. Tight. My wrists were strapped to metal, my ankles too. The sting of whatever they injected still burned through my veins. I didn’t know where I was. The room smelled like rot and old blood. The concrete walls looked like they were swallowing the light whole. My vision blurred, but I forced myself to stay awake. Footsteps echoed. Voices followed. Male. Rough. I stayed still, breathing shallow through my nose, listening. “Did you inject it?” one asked. His tone was urgent, sharp. “Yeah. It’s done,” another replied. “The plan is flawless.” A third one scoffed, confident. “Good. Let’s go deal with that Apex prick before his brothers show up.” “You think they’ll all come?” “They will,” the first one said. “But we’ve got numbers. Let all those Apex pr

  • The Apex's hidden mate   So it is true

    Caspian’s POV He gave me a crooked smile and tilted his head in a silent gesture to follow him. I hesitated. I sent some messages to others, but there were no signal. The comms were jammed. Great. I didn’t trust him—not even close—but if he knew something about Aria’s whereabouts… then I didn’t have a choice. I followed. He led me down the path, broken bricks underfoot and shattered glass scattered like dead stars. Most of the buildings were half-collapsed or rotting from the inside out, but the one we stopped in front of looked different. It didn’t look that abandoned.When a familiar figure stepped out, my chest tightened. She swayed slightly on her feet. Her clothes were stained, her hair tangled, but there was no mistaking that face. My mother. She didn’t even look at me, her gaze zeroed straight in on him. “I set everything up,” she said, her voice slurred, fingers twitching. “Now give me another pill. My head’s going to split open.” “Shut up,” he snapped. “Can’t you

  • The Apex's hidden mate   Aria lied to you

    Caspian’s POV I stared at him. He looked older and thinner, like the years had carved deep lines into his face and hollowed out what was left of his pride. But that voice… that smug, guiltless tone? It hadn’t changed at all. “You’ve grown well,” he said, stepping closer with a sick kind of familiarity. “Doesn’t look like someone carrying the guilt of abandoning his parents.” I clenched my jaw. “I didn’t come here for you. I have important things to worry about.” “Oh?” he tilted his head mockingly. “So your parents… are not important anymore?” “My parents,” I said slowly, “died a long time ago.” His eyes narrowed. “I am standing right in front of you, Caspian.” “You are ‘not’ my father.” A slow smirk tugged at his lips. “So cold. After everything I’ve been through, after what your mother went through…” Something inside me cracked. Those carefully locked memories—the ones I’d shoved down and buried beneath violence and rage—they were rising. Swelling in my chest like a storm

  • The Apex's hidden mate   I can’t relate

    Caspian’s POV I paced the length of the security room, the tension in my chest tightening with every passing second. “Still nothing,” I muttered, staring down at my useless phone. “No signal. No location. No response.” “She’s not picking any of us,” Kaid said from the other side of the room, tossing his phone on the desk with a frustrated grunt. Back when we were helping Thane search for his father, we noticed how none of us could make or receive calls properly. At first, we thought it was interference, a tower issue, maybe even a security lockdown glitch… but no. That wasn’t it. We’d been hacked. Whoever did it cut off our comms — calls, messages, trackers — just enough to make it seem like a tech problem. Now, Aria’s off the grid. We were back at the penthouse, trying to reboot her security link through the console, but her phone wasn’t even connecting. No signal. No location. “I’ve scanned all satellite inputs,” I said, fingers flying across the keys. “Her phone's last ping
