~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 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

~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

~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

~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
