I hate to admit it, and my wolf laughs at me

Aria pov I sat curled up on my bed in the Apex penthouse, a warm mug of tea cradled in my hands. The steam rose in soft swirls, laced with something calming that Thane had insisted would help. He sat beside me—close, but not too close—watching quietly as I sipped. I was still shaken. Not visibly, maybe, but inside… everything was trembling. I hadn’t said a word since we got back. And thankfully, neither had he. It wasn’t something I could talk about. As if he could read my mind, Thane’s voice came gently. “You don’t have to say anything, Aria. I’m just… glad you’re safe.” The knot in my chest loosened. I nodded and whispered, “Thanks.” And I meant it. Even though the weight still sat heavy on my shoulders, even though my heart still stuttered every time I remembered the darkness and that sickening hum of the elevator… There was something about being next to Thane that didn’t make me feel quite so alone. Still, I couldn’t help but glance sideways at him, curiosity peeking th

Selena, what do you want from an omega

Aria’s POV I stirred my drink slowly, watching the way the light from the cafeteria ceiling bounced off the rim of the cup. My mind hadn’t been on class all morning. Not even for a second. I thought for sure they would say something. That one of them—Kaid most likely—would pin me with that cold glare and demand why I was acting like I didn’t know. Or that Ryker would make one of his infuriatingly smug comments about the dream. Or Caspian, laughing like it was some sort of thrilling joke. Or even Thane… saying something quiet and gentle that would make me feel seen in the most inconvenient way. But none of that happened. They’d acted like nothing had changed. Like the dream didn’t exist. Like I hadn’t practically melted into Thane’s arms the night before in the elevator, sobbing like a child. Then I got dressed, packed my bag, and left for school like nothing happened. I wasn’t sure if I was relieved… or disappointed. Eliza's voice broke through my fog. “You’ve been quiet all mor

Are you stupid to run to the sound of a gunshot?

Aria’s POV I smiled faintly, choosing my words with care. “Well… I’m flattered. It’s a pleasure, really. An opportunity like this doesn’t come often.” Selena’s grin widened just enough to show satisfaction—but not sincerity. “Of course. I knew you’d see the value. There’s a sports event coming up,” she said, brushing invisible lint off her sleeve. “You should come. Watch how the Alphas move—how perfectly in sync they are. It’s something worth witnessing.” She said it like I’d be lucky just to breathe the same air as them. Around us, I could feel the shift in the room—the weight of curious eyes and startled gasps settling over every corner. Eliza’s brows were halfway to her hairline, her mouth parting like she couldn’t believe what she’d heard. The murmurs were immediate. “Is this for real?” “Selena never invites anyone outside her circle.” “She must be up to something…” “I’d kill for that invitation.” “…Poor girl’s being set up.” Selena stood smoothly, brushing back a stran

The school has evil people in disguise

Aria’s POV The door swung open with a slight creak, and I braced myself for the worst. But what I saw… stopped me cold. There was no blood. No intruder. No broken furniture. Just Quin. Quin—sitting cross-legged on a plush cream couch, covering half her body with a blanket, looking healthier than I’d ever seen her, her hair tied back in a neat braid, her face calm and… smiling. The loud gunshots and screaming? Blasting from a massive flat-screen TV mounted on the wall. I blinked, trying to register the sight. “What the—?” Quin turned her head toward me, eyes lighting up with recognition. “Welcome,” she said, voice soft but steady. My jaw dropped. “You… you can talk?” She gave a little nod, grinning. “Yeah. My voice came back this morning.” I let out a long breath, relief and disbelief mixing into something strange and warm in my chest. “That’s amazing,” I said, a real smile tugging at my lips. Then my eyes widened. “Wait. Eliza.” I spun on my heel and bolted back down the s
