Amiba

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.
