The Apex's hidden mate의 모든 챕터: 챕터 91 - 챕터 100

Aria’s POV Their faces were priceless—stunned, speechless. Caspian blinked, dragging a hand through his hair, still processing. “Wait, are you serious?” I grinned, already feeling a bubbling sense of power in my chest. “Yeah, I’m serious. I mean, we’re not going to avoid this forever, right? Might as well start now.” I sauntered over to the bed and sat down, leaning back casually. “Why aren’t any of you moving? Don’t tell me you don’t want to.” They just stared at me, frozen like statues. Thane rubbed the back of his neck, his voice soft but honest. “It’s not that… we’re just still recovering from your bluntness.” His lips quirked, but I could tell he was serious. “Also… for the record, this would be the first time for us. Apart from Ryker of course.” My eyes darted to him, then to Kaid and Caspian. “What, you’re telling me you’ve never—never been with anyone?” Their silence said enough. Caspian shrugged. “I mean… does pecking someone count?” I gave him a deadpan look. “No.

Kaid’s POV I stood before the bed, my gaze fixed on Aria's prone form. The sight of her, splayed out and glowing from the attentions of my brothers, filled me with a primal possessiveness. I had watched, transfixed, as they had pushed her to the brink time and again, each orgasm more intense than the last. And she'd taken it all in stride, her bold claim fueling their desire to push her limits. She was a revelation, a goddess born for the sole purpose of driving us to madness. As my eyes roamed over her, taking in the sheen of sweat on her skin, the heaving of her chest, the quiver of her thighs, I felt my control slipping. I have held myself back for so long, fearing that I might overwhelm her, that I couldn't be the gentle mate she deserved. But seeing her now, spent yet still hungry for more, I knew I could no longer deny himself. Deny us both. "Flip her over," I commanded, my voice rough with desire. Ryker and Caspian obliged, gently turning Aria onto her stomach. He

Aria’s POVsettled into the self-driving car, its engine on standby as it was parked by the side of a quiet road just outside the academy perimeter. The faint glow of my tablet screen lit my face, displaying a live feed from the drone I’d launched earlier. After countless arguments, the Apex brothers had finally agreed to bring me on this mission — thanks to Mrs. Penelope’s intervention, otherwise they’d have left me behind to “stay safe.” Now, my role was still support from the sidelines, but at least I can help them physically should the need arise. Why would the Shadow Pack even bother planting bombs? What were they trying to gain by taking innocent lives? It was senseless, cruel. A chime crackled in my ear as the intercom clicked on. “Aria,” Kaid’s voice came through, low and steady. “Is your location secure? Are you staying alert?” I drew in a calming breath, scanning the darkened street outside through the tinted window before checking the drone feed again. “Yes,” I answe

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

Aria’s POV Eliza shot up from her chair, her voice tripping over itself. “Q-Quin… when did you wake up?” Quin’s face was pale with disbelief, eyes shining with raw hurt. “That’s not the answer to my question,” she snapped, voice cracking. “Were you working with Priscilla?” Eliza looked at me, desperate, silently begging for help. I swallowed hard. “Quin…it’s a long story,” I tried, even though it felt pathetic as soon as the words left my mouth. Quin let out a sharp, bitter laugh, shaking her head. “A long story? Are you for real?” Her voice rose, breaking apart. “You were working with the same person who had me taken by the Skulls Syndicate? The same person who basically handed me over to those bastards that tortured me?” Eliza reached a trembling hand out. “Quin, I didn’t mean to, I swear — I’ll explain, it’s—” “Complicated?” Quin cut her off with a ragged edge of disbelief. “Don’t even say that. You chose to keep working for her!” Tears welled up in Quin’s eyes as
