Thane’s POV

I walked through the hospital doors first, my hands tucked into the pockets of my coat as the cool air of the building met my skin. The scent of antiseptic and muted anxiety hung in the air. I hated hospitals.

I’d already messaged Aria earlier—told her Quin had finally woken up. This was our one real shot at getting information. If Quin remembered anything about the Skulls Syndicate, we could finally gain some ground. A clue, a name, a base of operation—something.

But even as I tried to keep my thoughts focused on the mission, I could feel the shift in the air between my brothers.

Especially when Ryker broke the silence.

“So… are we going to keep pretending or what?”

I turned toward him, brows lifting slightly. “Pretending?”

“That we all didn’t have the most erotic dream last night? No one wants to say anything.”

“Since we all had the dream, does it mean she also had it?” Caspian asked.

It wasn’t farfetched, since recalling my encounter with Aria made me believe s

  • The Apex's hidden mate   Finally coming to an end

    I 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

  • The Apex's hidden mate   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

  • The Apex's hidden mate   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

  • The Apex's hidden mate   Trump card

    Aria’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

  • The Apex's hidden mate   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!"

  • The Apex's hidden mate   Take our future back

    Aria’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
