Thane’s POV

I was pissed.

No—furious.

But Kaid moved before I could even take a step.

He didn’t roar. He didn’t give them a chance.

He swooped in like a storm unleashed.

His fists crashed into the nearest man’s face with a sound I’d never forget. Bone crunched. The man dropped.

The others didn’t even get the chance to process what was happening before Caspian and Ryker were on them too.

I’d seen my brothers fight before.

But this wasn’t fighting.

This was slaughter.

They weren’t warriors right now—they were apex predators, driven by one thing and one thing only.

Aria.

Every punch, every kick, every snapped limb and broken scream echoed that truth.

I didn’t join them. Not yet.

Because Aria—

Goddess, Aria.

She was unconscious. Barely breathing.

Her body limp, draped across the floor like a discarded doll.

I dropped to my knees beside her, gathering her into my arms as gently as I could. My heart broke at the sight of her.

She had deep bruises on her skin. Her clothes

  • The Apex's hidden mate   The labyrinth

    Eliza’s POV I kept running, weaving through the panicked crowd, my eyes already scanning ahead. The museum opened up into a section I knew well. The mirror labyrinth. I got in. Tall mirrors stretched in every direction, the kind that couldn’t be punched or shattered with a single swing. I knew every twist and turn, every dead end. Pulling my phone out, I checked the surveillance. Priscilla wasn’t far behind. Her goons, men and women alike, were slipping into the labyrinth, scanning every reflection. Priscilla stepped in with that familiar scowl etched deep across her face. Her gaze swept the mirrors, finally landing on me through the deceptive reflections. “Well, well… looks like you really prepared yourself, Eliza. I shouldn’t have completely underestimated my little toy. But don’t forget… toys are made to be broken, and I always know how to play with mine.” I smirked and kept walking, putting my phone back in my pocket. “I’ll be the one breaking toys today,” Priscilla’s voic

  • The Apex's hidden mate   The destination

    Eliza’s POV Today is the day. The day we’re supposed to hand ourselves over to the Shadow Pack. The “agreement.” The neat little box we’re expected to step into and shut the lid tight over ourselves. Except, obviously, we’re not going to do that. If they think we’re just going to walk into their hands like sheep, then they’ve severely underestimated us. So instead, we have a different plan. A messy, layered, one-step-at-a-time kind of plan. First, we meet with Priscilla. That part makes my skin crawl, but strategic necessity doesn’t always come with pleasant company. Second, we figure out how to save the Apex brothers. One plan at a time. Like pulling pieces out of a trap without snapping it shut. Now here we are, having left Tyla’s parents’ bunker. Honestly, the place could survive a nuclear winter. And yes, I’ll admit—I liked the car we picked. Sleek, expensive-looking. Quiet engine. Almost like it belonged in a spy film. I sat in the passenger seat while Quin curled up in the

  • The Apex's hidden mate   Given up

    Aria’s POV I still couldn't believe my eyes. No matter how many times the image replayed in front of me, my mind refused to accept it. The screen glitched, flickering, and suddenly shifted. My stomach clenched as a new horror unfolded. This time, it was Thane. His calm, nurturing face—the one I once thought could never harbor such cruelty—was twisted into something I couldn’t recognize. He stood over Quin, a knife in his hand, dragging the blade slowly across her skin. Her screams cut through me sharper than the steel ever could. “Stop!” I shouted, thrashing against the restraints, my voice hoarse with desperation. “Stop it, please!” But Thane didn’t stop. Instead, his voice came through the feed, low and merciless, each word like venom searing through me. “You’re weak, Quin. Overused. Someone with nothing left to give.” He sliced her again, and her body convulsed. Tears blurred my vision. “Stop!!, please stop.” But his tone only grew darker. “I know exactly what you are. M

  • The Apex's hidden mate   Broken completely

    Aria’s POV Mr. X had ordered men to drag me out of that suffocating grey cell again, their rough hands the only human contact I’d had in days, aside from the tasteless scraps of food they tossed in like I was a stray dog. If he was bringing me out again, it wasn’t because he missed the sound of my voice. He had something up his sleeve. Something dangerous. Has he gotten to them? The thought punched the air from my lungs. My reckless, stubborn, infuriating mates. If he had them, if he’d cornered them the way he’d cornered me, then I was already halfway broken. I tried not to let my mind spiral, but fear clawed at me like fire under my skin. The room he dragged me into this time was different.They strapped me on a metal bed. My ankles and wrists locked tight, the chill of the steel seeping into my bones. And scattered across the tray beside me were things I didn’t dare name out loud. Instruments that screamed pain. My wolf had always been the vicious one between us—sharp-fanged,

  • The Apex's hidden mate   Worse than mine

    Priscilla’s POV The position I find myself in is... undignified. Lying on my back, knees bent into my chest, gripping the outer edges of my feet while this scientist, Don, kneels between my legs and enters me from above. Moans spill from my lips, echoing off the walls of my room as he moves inside me. How did it come to this? After our collision in the hall, I couldn't shake the image of Selena's face staring back at me from that tablet. I had to know. I asked the scientist, whose name is Don, but he just wouldn't talk. Refused to give up the secrets that tablet undoubtedly held. So I seduced him. And I knew he won’t be able to resist. And that’s how I got him this position. "Faster," I demand, my voice low and husky with need. "Harder." Don grunts in response, his hips snapping forward with increased urgency. The sound of skin slapping against skin fills the room, punctuated by my wanton moans. I can't help it - he's hitting me so deep, so perfectly, that I'm lost to the sensati

  • The Apex's hidden mate   Not reckless

    Caspian’s POV My fists slam against the door until my knuckles sting, but the door doesn’t give in. “Let me out!” My voice bounces off the walls, too loud in the cramped room, too desperate, too much like the kid I swore I’d never be again. Why is this happening to me? The last thing I remember was a sharp and filthy teeth sinking into my arm because I got too cocky in a fight with the rogue. I was winning, I was, until I wasn’t. I thought I had it handled. I always think I have it handled. Now I woke up here. My stomach twists as my eyes scan the peeling wallpaper, the cracked ceiling, the thin mattress shoved in the corner. The air reeks of rot, the same stench that never left, the one that clung to me when I was a kid and couldn’t escape. This room. This prison. The one they locked me in whenever they wanted their personal time when they are taking their drugs. Every time they lock me in, it meant hours—days sometimes—of silence. Me, small and hungry, banging on the wal
