He was supposed to live a quiet life.
Elias Clarke is a recessive omega… technically. His heats are rare, his hormones are mild, and his genetic profile is so muted that he could pass for beta. That’s fine with him. At 27, he is halfway through his PhD, teaches engineering part-time, and enjoys the kind of anonymity that keeps him away from the political games of those born with true divine potential.
But when his best friend and roommate, Ruoxi Numen, disappears without a trace, Elias becomes the only one asking questions no one wants to answer.
Her family, descended from the last god born three hundred years ago, calls it a “private matter.”
Her apartment remains untouched, with her jewelry, tablet, and expensive shoes near the door.
Then Victor Numen, her older brother who was crippled in a divine accident, reappears in public. Smiling. Watching Elias too closely.
Something happened to Ruoxi.
And Elias might be the only person who can figure out what.

Elias's breath shuddered, a ragged sound that betrayed the fury and fear coiling tight in his chest.

"You followed me," he said, low and sharp, each word like a blade drawn across stone.

Matteo's voice softened further, warm and unsettling, as if Elias's accusation was a confession of something mutual.

"I watched you, Elias. I watched you walk into the dark, and I wanted to stop you. I wanted to keep you in the car, keep you with me where no one could touch you. Where he couldn't find you."

Elias took another step back, the corner of the wall pressing into his shoulder now. His eyes darted again to the terrace. The faint reflection of the room stared back at him in the glass, but behind that reflection, movement. A subtle shift, like someone adjusting their stance just out of sight.

"You think that night was about me asking for help?" Elias said, the edge in his voice cracking through the fear. "You think I wanted you to follow me?"
