Aria’s POV

My heart flipped, crashed, and flipped again.

I snapped my gaze back to his face, trying to find something, anything to say. “I—I just came to thank you. For earlier. The restaurant.”

Thane smiled faintly, the kind of smile that could unravel a girl if she let it. “You're welcome,” he said, stepping towards me, completely unbothered by the fact that he was barely dressed.

I turned around fast. “I’ll wait outside.”

Before I could reach the door, his arm extended beside me, not touching. Just blocking. A wall of quiet, calm presence.

“I love the way you stare at me,” he said, voice low and calm, but somehow it sent a ripple down my spine.

My breath caught.

Why did it feel like my entire body decided to warm up all at once?

“I—uh—I wasn’t…” I stumbled over my words, willing my legs not to shake.

He tilted his head slightly. “I also need your help with something. Call it… compensation, since I know you hate taking anything for free.”

Of course he would know that. I n

  • 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

  • The Apex's hidden mate   He abandoned us

    Aria’s POV I froze. Blank. Was he serious? “What…?” I breathed, my grip tightening around the handlebar of the bike. “What are you even talking about?” The man looked straight at me, eyes wide with something between desperation and aching hope. “I know it sounds crazy. You don’t believe me—I get it. Hell, I wouldn’t believe me either.” “You’re right,” I snapped, trying to shake off the chill crawling up my spine. “I don’t. I don’t have time for this—I need to go.” “He has messy blonde hair. Gold in his eyes, even when the light's gone. A wild look, too.” I turned sharply. “…Wait.” He took a step closer, eyes searching mine. “Have you seen someone like that?”“So you know Caspian?” The man exhaled like a weight had just been ripped from his chest. “You do know him,” he said, almost to himself. His shoulders slumped, and his voice broke. “Oh God. You know him.” “Caspian…” he murmured, eyes glazed with something distant. “That’s it. That’s his name. I… I remember now.” I nar

  • The Apex's hidden mate   Do you know my son

    Arias POV The moment the words left my mouth, the beating stopped. The addicts froze like feral animals caught mid-snarl, their gaunt faces twisting toward me. One of them still had his fist mid-air, hovering over Thane’s father, whose frail body trembled on the cracked floor. This close, it was impossible not to see the signs Thane had told me about. He looked at me and scrambled backward, scraping his back against the wall like he wanted to vanish into it. “Stay back!” he croaked, voice sharp and ragged. “Demon… demon, demon—get away from me!” My heart cracked a little. “No,” I said softly, crouching down, hands lifted in peace. “I’m not a demon. I’m a friend. I’m here to help—” “What the hell does this have to do with you?” one of the addicts growled behind me. I stood up slowly and turned to face them. “Then let me ask, why are you ganging up on him? What did he do to deserve that?” “He’s got it,” another slurred — a man with rotting teeth and jittery hands. “The pills.

  • The Apex's hidden mate   Found him

    Aria’s POV I stared at the screen. Why does Selene have Thane’s father? Where is she taking him? It doesn’t make sense. It doesn’t add up. I tapped the keyboard, fast-forwarding the footage slightly, tracking her movements. Selene was guiding him like she’d done it a hundred times before. He leaned into her like he trusted her, like she was familiar. And that unsettled me even more. What kind of relationship did she have with him? My jaw tensed as I followed her on the screen. Then there it was — she exited through one of the service corridors, one the staff used that didn’t have heavy traffic. She paused at the back gate, checked both sides like she was cautious of being seen, then helped him into a sleek black car waiting just beyond the hospital fence. She got in the driver’s seat and drove off. I switched feeds, fingers flying across the keys as I jumped from one street camera to the next, trying to trace the car. Come on… come on… she turned right onto one of th

  • The Apex's hidden mate   An emergency

    Aria’s POV The hush that settled over the field was so thick I could hear my own ragged breathing. A thousand eyes locked on me, and then the murmuring began. Voices rose, shocked, disbelieving, washing over me like a wave. The shock collars activated again with a loud crack, dropping the rogues back into unconscious heaps across the field. Over the loudspeakers, the commentators scrambled to find their words. “Goal! A goal from the Violet Thunder team — the Omega team! That brings them to a total of four points!” “Did you see that? An Omega — yes, an OMEGA — killed a rogue with the ball! I have never, in all my years, heard of something like this!” “Who is that girl?!” Their astonished voices faded as I jogged back to the team huddle, sweat prickling under my jersey. Tyla was practically bouncing. “I knew you wouldn’t let me down, Aria!” Erica nodded quickly, breathless, eyes wide with hope. “If we keep this up, we might actually stand a chance!” Quin shook her head. “No —

  • 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
