Game isn’t going as expected

Aria’s POV I gave Selena a nod, steady and unimpressed. “Alright. Let’s play.” She didn’t stop smiling as she turned and waved a hand. A Beta boy jogged up to her, and she leaned in to whisper something in his ear. He nodded, glancing at me before heading off. “They’re bringing your teammates now,” she said with that same honeyed tone. “I made sure to pick a team that matches your… standing.” I didn’t reply. I already knew this wasn’t going to be fair. That wasn’t the point. This was a spectacle. A performance for her audience. Fine. I could perform. Later At the Field. The sectioned part of the field was large and marked clearly for the game. Colorful banners waved on either side, one red and one blue—each team’s “flag” mounted on tall poles. Rows of seats under elegant canopies had already been filled with students, most of them from the elite circles. Some had snacks. Some had cameras. All of them were watching with too much interest. The moment I saw the rest of my team,

He isn’t that bad, I suppose. So get a kiss

Ryker’s POV I barely heard the laughter around me anymore. A table full of Alphas trying too hard—flexing strength like it meant something to me, throwing names, titles, bloodlines. One was mid-sentence about his father's company while two girls across from me kept flipping their hair and glancing my way like I couldn’t tell they were trying to get my attention “I haven’t been touched,” one whispered too loudly, biting her lip. “I’ve kept myself for you Ryker.” “You’ve never even slept with me, Ryker,” another pouted. Yeah. There was a reason for that. Because I didn’t care. Not when my mind was stuck on one thing—one girl. Aria. The woman who looked me in the eye like she could break me without lifting a finger. I leaned back in my chair, ignoring the chatter, when I heard a few Alphas at the next table laughing over something on their phone. “Omegas are competing in a game? Seriously?” one scoffed. “Why even let them on the field?” “Apparently they’re playing

She is part of the deadly secret

Aria’s POV I didn’t know what came over me. One second, he was stepping back, trying to give me space, and the next, I was closing it. Kissing him. Me. Kissing Ryker. And the craziest part? It felt… right. There wasn’t the usual tension I always carried around him. It was just warmth. Steady, strong, and completely disarming. He didn’t kiss me like a player trying to win a game. He kissed me like I was something real. Something that mattered. Which only made me panic more. I pulled back quickly, heart thudding too loud in my ears. What was I doing? “Y-You never came back to ask about that date,” I said suddenly, blurting the words out just to change the subject. I couldn’t look him in the eye. “The one we agreed on.” Ryker blinked, clearly not expecting that shift. Then a smirk tugged at the corner of his lips. “I figured it’d be foolish to still go through with it after everything.” “Right,” I said quickly, nodding. “Totally. Makes sense.” There was a beat. “But,” I ad

Stunned and blushed? I have a problem

Aria’s POV Shit. Shit. Shit. What do I do? How do I get out of this situation? Without looking at the screen, I picked up the call and forced the brightest voice I could manage. “Sweetheart, why are you calling me at this hour? Miss me already?” My voice echoed a little too loudly in the hallway. I stepped forward, casually rounding the corner like I’d just wandered in by accident. “Oh,” I blinked, feigning surprise as I spotted them. “Didn’t know this hallway was so… lively.” Priscilla’s eyes snapped to me, her expression sharp. She looked me up and down with a sneer. I covered the speaker of my phone and narrowed my eyes at her. “Why are you yelling just because my phone rang? You’re not the hall monitor, Priscilla.” Then I turned to Quin, softening my tone. “Quin, Eliza’s been looking for you. She seemed a little worried.” Quin’s eyes darted between us, clearly uneasy. “I’m fine,” she said carefully. “Just… having a conversation with Miss…” “Priscilla,” I finished for her

Kaid- why don’t you care?

Aria’s POV I wasn’t sure I’d ever get used to this lifestyle. My fingers itched against the cold metal of the elevator rail as I watched the numbers blink, rising higher with every second. Forty-six. Forty-seven. Forty-eight. Each floor we passed only reminded me how far I was from the girl who used to sleep with one eye open in a damp attic and dodge her stepmother’s fury. Now I was riding in a gold-trimmed elevator that stopped at the very top of the Apex penthouse. A silent sigh escaped me as the doors slid open to reveal the familiar, lavish hallway. I had already sent a message to Thane before I came: Priscilla is involved. She was part of my kidnapping. We need to shift the investigation. She’s not who we thought she was. He hadn’t replied yet. Probably gathering the others. Or maybe just stunned. I padded quietly toward the lounge. The door to the main area was already open. As I approached, voices filtered through—low, serious. Thane and Kaid. They stood slightly apa

Selena- break them while it’s hot

Selena’s POV The glow from my laptop screen bathed my room in soft light as I clicked through my notes, a gentle classical piece playing from the speakers. Efficient. Perfect. Just like everything else I did. I didn’t need to cheat to be one of the top of our class. Never had. Never would. That was what made me untouchable. Everyone knew my name. Professors. Students. Even the damn janitors paused to greet me in the hallways. Selena. I was the image of excellence. Beauty, brains, and legacy. So then why, ‘why’ was Aria suddenly threading herself into places she didn’t belong? I minimized my academic files and opened another tab. First it was Thane. And now Ryker. I tapped my manicured nails against the desk. Ryker. The wildcard. The impossible flirt who never stuck around long enough to care. And yet there he was—helping her? I clenched my jaw. What exactly is she doing that I haven’t done? I’ve been strategic. Present. Flawless. I know how to keep their attention without

Aria- I have been fucked, not the good kind

Aria’s POV I flipped the page of my textbook for the third time, but the words refused to stay still. They blurred, rearranged themselves, then floated away entirely, replaced by Kaid’s voice. “How come you can call Thane a sweetheart… but not me?” I sighed and tapped my pen against the edge of the desk. The way he stepped closer, when he’d pinned me against the wall… I bit my bottom lip, pulse quickening at the memory. And just like that, Ryker and Caspian strolled in like it was perfectly normal to interrupt that kind of tension. Kaid had stepped back instantly, his mask of indifference slipping back into place like nothing had happened. “What,” Eliza said, drawing out the word in a suspicious tone, “are you thinking about?” I blinked. “Nothing. The test.” She raised an eyebrow. “Sure. Because you’re blushing like you’re having flashbacks of an erotic night with your boyfriend.” My cheeks flamed. “What? No! That’s not—” “—the case?” she finished for me, grinning like a ca

Aria- beg, or be beaten to death

The silence that followed was heavy—thick with judgment, anticipation, and that awful scent of satisfaction coming off Bianca in waves. I could feel dozens of eyes on me, some wide with disbelief, others narrowing with barely disguised scorn. “She really cheated?” someone whispered behind me. “She doesn’t even pay attentionin class that much,” another muttered. “How did she score higher than half the students?” “I knew it,” someone else hissed. “I knew her scores were too good to be true.” The voices swirled around me like vultures. A scoff left Bianca’s lips, her voice slicing through the crowd. “As a member of the student council, I refuse to let such a dishonest act go unpunished.” The irony made my skin crawl. My stepsisters who probably bribed her way through this Academy was talking about honesty. The same girl who once locked me out of my room in winter and blamed me for the broken window when I tried to climb back in. Celeste folded her arms, her mouth curved into that

Caspian- wild awakening

Capstan’s POV The test has ended. We weren’t the exception just because we ‘were’ the exception. Even we had to sit for tests at this elite-as-hell academy. Suffering made us relatable, apparently. I kicked back in my chair, leaning back further until my chair tilted on two legs as I twirled my pen between my fingers. Dangerous? Yeah. Stupid? Probably. Worth it for the thrill? Hell yes. But my brain wasn’t on the test. Or the classroom. Or the fact that Kaid had nearly snapped his pen in half. It was on her. The scent that clung to her when she wore that soft bathrobe that day— Damn. I shifted in my seat, heat crawling up my neck. That scent had hit me like a truck. Something forbidden. Something only meant for me. I remembered standing too close, my brain fogged up like I was drunk on her. And the worst part? She didn’t even know what she was doing to me. I’d love to relive that moment again. No, scratch that—I’d love to take it further this time. Maybe pull her close b

Aria-my mates, please come get me

Aria’s POV A raw, burning throb pulsed through every inch of my body. My back screamed with every breath. My wrists ached where the ropes bit into my skin. My head pounded like a drum. I tried to move, but my arms wouldn’t budge. My legs were tied too—tight and unforgiving. My throat was dry, but the taste of blood still lingered on my tongue. I blinked slowly, trying to take in my surroundings through the haze of pain and confusion. Gray walls. Damp floor. No windows. Just a single, thick metal door. And the collar. It was still around my neck, cold and heavy like a chain dragging me down. My wolf was silent. Caged. Useless. Panic began to rise in my chest, hot and suffocating. No space. No light. No way out. Small space. Trapped. Trapped— I clenched my jaw and forced my breathing to slow, but it didn’t help. The walls were closing in. The ceiling felt lower by the second. I could hear my heartbeat pounding in my ears like it was trying to break through my skull. Then—clic
