~Aria Something isn't right. My eyes are glancing at the clock every three seconds. It's just past midnight. Every part of my body is alert, despite the hour. Something doesn't feel right, and I'm wondering if it's the fact that it's raining outside. Frost laden rain isn't uncommon. Pure, straight rain with an accent of thunder in the background is uncommon. I'm protected enough, in my opinion, under my blanket. Malik removed my wanted level a few hours after I left. He had no idea I had even considered going back to find him for his help. Fate makes me nervous, and he's shown there's no point in trying to escape him. After tonight, I plan to somehow get in contact with Malik about his father, which will mean getting the paternity paper back off of Fate. If he decides to show up. Alexa is trying to get ahold of me, but I can't lure her over here. It's not fair if Fate uses her against me. She's probably freaking out after Alexander alerted the entire Pack that I was wanted dead

~AriaI was dazed and confused when I next woke up. My body aches from my neck, down my back and to my legs, that are cramped up under the dashboard. The seatbelt has left a heat rash on my neck and I feel as though one half of my face is on fire from sleeping against the window. "Good morning," Malik says from beside me, making me jump. Even though I knew he was driving, his voice still took me by surprise.Maybe it's because I haven't fully accepted the fact that we are running away from our lives in the Love Pack. Outside, the sun is brighter than anything I've seen since the Passion Pack, however, there is no beach with glistening water here. Instead, it's a straight road leading straight toward the horizon, desert stretched around, leading into hills, concealing what was beyond. "Where are we?" I ask, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes."We just passed over the equator. We are on the warmer side, heading toward a better climate," Malik tells me. At his words, I feel myself brigh

~AriaI stare at Malik from where I sit on the window ledge, admiring him. This is my second experience sharing a room with him, and I believe I have gathered enough evidence to say he isn't a morning person. He sleeps now, while I wait, wondering how to act around him after last night. We might have only kissed, however, it's more than I have ever committed to with any male, ever. Which I'm sure he would find great pleasure in hearing about. The rising sunlight streams in from behind me. It's a mellow colour this morning, drenching the room in a milky yellow, that I assume is normal for this side of the equator. Malik looks beautiful laying there, as he typically does. The only thing that plagues this stunning image any artist would be jealous of, is his scars. I wish I could kiss them away...what am I thinking? As attracted as I am to Malik, he still makes me nervous. At times I'm comfortable, but at other points, he makes me feel inexperienced in life compared to him. I clear

~Aria"You know what you need?" she says pointedly. "Sex."My head jerks up, my gaze finding my friend who lounges casually on my bed, magazine in hand. Her head is tipped down the side of my bed, blonde hair spilling across my bed sheets.Alexa. Our parents were friends before we were. Back in preschool, she was super intimidating with all the friends and her own personal sandpit at home. Our friendship was forced upon us, and on the first day of primary school, we realised we needed one another, and haven't left each other's side since.She still intimidates me though. Not only, in my opinion, is she flawless, but she is so confident and impressive. I was often told I was charismatic and easy to talk to, but she was another story.Some people knew me as Alexa's friend, since she was my barrier to cling to when it came to meeting the outside world. Although we were stark different in our looks, for

~AriaI felt a little guilty coming here.Hugging my jacket closer to myself, I tilt my head away from the onslaught of sleet hitting me sideways. It had to be this kind of weather for what I am committing to. At least the piece of paper I brought with me was tucked under the faux fur of my coat. Not that it mattered.Really, I wasn't trying to protect it. In fact, it was my lame attempt at trying to hide it from Alexa. Now I'm about to make trash out of Alexa's idea.Pulling the slip of paper out, I assess it through the thick weather, hitting the side of the rubbish bin with a tin slap. The face of my very own Alpha glared at me, his blue eyes, melting slightly from the icy rain, staring deep at my soul.Maybe if I could see past the blurry pixels from botched printing, I might have thought he was attractive.Sure, I've seen him on television, but I never took much notice of Malik

~AriaI anxiously tap the tips of my fingers together, leaning forward on the couch."Take it," Alexa insists, nudging the glass at my face. Rolling my eyes, I dismiss her, not wanting any of the Chardonnay she was nearly drunk with. My eyes are glued to the television, anticipating what is to come next.My best friend flops down beside me, balancing the stem of the glass between her fingers.Here we are, waiting for the live announcement of every name that has been pulled for from the ballot. The names of the people who will be competing in Alpha Malik's competition for love. I had a slight glimmer of hope that maybe, maybe I wouldn't be selected. That everything those rogues had told me was a lie.It has been a month and a half since I saw them last. The main rogue, who I was requested to call Grey visited me once, reminding me of my ties to the organisation I didn't know a anything about. All I k

~Aria"They're here!"My growl of disdain is caught rough and short, as the pressure against my chest grows. Alexa's insistent hands rest against my ribs, as she sits on my stomach. Kicking my knee up, I groan again in protest. What a way to wake up."Get off me," I snap, but she doesn't move, keeping me pinned against the bed.My curtains have been thrust open, a rich, orange morning sun streams in, lighting up the make up smeared face of my best friend. Her hair has been gathered up into a wild ponytail, that had clearly been slept on. But the elated grin on her face suggested she had been up for hours."Get up lazy, they're here!" she exclaims, shaking my shoulders, the exuberant look about her not fading for a single second.I attempt another way of getting Alexa off my lungs-by rolling my body-but she remains adamant. "Who?""Who do you think? Malik's little en

~AriaMy first movement when I woke was a slap to the forehead. It took a few moments of wary blinking and regret for the possible red mark to my forehead before I became aware of where I was. The floor is stiff underneath me, my back aching from what is most probably concrete. As my eyes crack open, they find a set of bars caging me in.Glancing the other way, I see a bed pressed into the corner. My teeth grit together as I move my stiff body toward it. "Could have at least dumped me there."However, my mind was on something else. My mate. Malik. Maybe there is a shard of metal in here I can shank him with. How long had he known? If he has known this entire time, then he can't blame me when I find his neck too tempting not to strangle. I just can't see why he decided to tell me then, instead of telling me before I stole his necklace to hand over to some random rogue.Now I'm being held in some kind of cell like a fugitive. Well, I suppose that's exactly what I am, after all.I was

~AriaMalik was out of the car in less than a second.My heart almost broke as I looked at him. His face was ashen, his eyes clouded with dark shadows beneath. Those electric blue eyes that constantly danced with life were dull and bland, as if someone has sucked the life right out of them. He looked sick, almost, yet still as stunningly handsome as he had a few weeks ago.He was dressed nicely, in a dark suit with the sleeves that came down past the edge of his gloves. Even his hair is styled precisely, however, the weather doesn't seem to care, dousing the dark strands with the powder."Aria, what are you doing here?" he questions, shoes crunching deep into the snow as he advances on me. Suddenly, I couldn't really remember. I made the mistake of looking over his shoulder and into the car. Macie sat in the backseat, looking out after Malik at me. We met gazes, her grey eyes cloudy like the sky above. She looks troubled. I can imagine why. She is competing against two other girls f

~Aria Three weeks later.A knock on the front door startles me.Quickly, I unknot the apron from around my neck, tossing it onto the bench. I've gotten back into cooking to distract myself from not being able to find a proper job. My parents stopped supporting me after I came back from the competition, and my lack of experience in any field hasn't helped me at all.The double chocolate chip cookies in the oven are my only solice.I'm expecting Alexa this afternoon, so it surprises me that she came early. She never does. When I open the door, however, I realise it's not Alexa, my best friend, at the door.It's Brynn.She leans against the doorway, dark hair slung back into a ponytail, which is a new look for her. What isn't new, is her dark clothes, the same as what she wore during the competition. Her designated Love pack clothes, I assume."What are you doing here?" I question in surprise. "I mean, hey!""You never told me you were rich," she muses, brushing past me and into the ho

~AriaThe first thing I become aware of is the groan coming out of my mouth.Then the pain. A whole lot of pain.I'm on my stomach, I know that much. The plush feeling of the softest possible bed cradled me, as I slowly blink my eyes open. I remember being attacked by Nikita, her claws running viciously down my back. That's why it feels as though a fire is blazing steadily on my skin.Sunlight streams through the window right in front of my eyes, making me want to yell at whoever may be in the near vicinity to close the curtains. Wait. My room doesn't have a window with a balcony outside. My room isn't even nearly this big either.With another loud groan, I push myself by my arms, my fingers slipping on the silk sheets under me. Biting back through the pain, I use what little strength I can muster to fully extend my arms. I need to get out of this room to find out how I go in here in the first place. However, I don't make it far, before I feel cool leather hit my arms and the soothin

~Aria"Hey...Ah, Aria!"My entire plan comes to a pause. As I turn my head slightly to the left, I catch sight of Zariah in her night clothes, a glass of water in her hands. She looked confused to see me out this late, especially in my clothes.I hadn't planned to say goodbye to her. The thought as I watch her makes me feel painfully guilty, but I shove the feeling down."What are you doing?" she asks, eye dark eyebrows furrowing.I clench the necklace in my fist. I'm so close to getting out of here, I can't ruin this now. Who knows what Fate is capable of when it comes to this, or even what it's importance is to him. Clearly he has been using the rogues to get it, and my curiosity is digging at me to find out. That can't happen if I get caught. "I'm leaving, Zariah."Her frown cuts deeper. She makes slow steps toward me, and I think about matching them back. Close...So close."You can't," she protests, although she keeps her voice hushed. "We haven't figured out what's going on behi
