~Avia
Yawing, I settle into bed. Finally.
I've only just returned from the compound. Visiting there so late has been weighing on me, but it's not like I have much of a choice. At some point I have to relay all the information I've garnered from being here to them, and this hour is the only possible one.
Just as I turn my lamp off and my eyes flutter closed, the sound of footsteps out in the hallway rouse me. I don't remember anyone mentioning they would be up at this hour, and all the staff should be asleep.
As I sit up, wary of the commotion, the door t

~AviaI sit on the edge of the bed, examining Isaiah with a cautious eye.It's the first time I've been in his room, and not exactly in the circumstances I would have presumed before I started this mission. We all stood silently in his room while he showered, neither me, Zire nor Elise having anything to say to one another. All the while, I kept my eyes trained out the expansive window and at the sunrise.Where all the time has gone, I have no idea.Once Isaiah stepped from the shower, no more than a white towel draped around his hips, it became clear th

~AviaI stare out at the crowd of people, hating the way they stare back at me.Isaiah stands at the front of the stage with his father, addressing the crowd. Something about a new development involving some disputed land. I suppose it's no longer disputed, which can only mean one thing...Isaiah or his father sent orders to their people to bust through the land and destroy everything there and displace the occupants in order to build other things that suit them."I hate these kinds of things," Mari mutters from beside me.All the girls have joined us for

~AviaI'm not sure how I've managed to convince Zire to take me into the family's private library, I'm just grateful he is upholding his end of the deal.I'm sure if I had asked Isaiah, he would have allowed me in here, but I'm not ready to arise any ounce of suspicion, especially when Kit is around. So now I sit, with Zire opposite me, flipping through his own book. I've searched throughout for history one the Alpha family, hoping to make myself seem more like a Noble's daughter over conversation at dinners.Even if being around Kit makes me sick."Do y

~AviaMalin stands in front of me, arms crossed over her chest."Absolutely not.""Malin...""It's too late in the game to be bringing in someone from inside Isaiah's home into the rebellion," she exclaims. Everyone else in the room, sitting at the table, doesn't say anything, knowing not to intervene when Malin and I are arguing. I came back here thinking she would be glad someone from inside Isaiah's estate would want to join our rebellion.I collapse int

~AviaFor the rest of the night, I couldn't sleep, and the next day, I avoided Isaiah until evening hit.Finally, I rise from where I've been curled up under the sheets, head crammed full of contradicting thoughts, the twisting feeling in my stomach not releasing it's tight hold. Through it all, I've devised a plan.I'm going to speak to Isaiah. What I'm feeling isn't real. He's an attractive man, whose way with words and brutal honesty shook me to the core. I'm not going to let myself mistake that for feelings for him...I'm in love with Kadrick, and the rebellion. Not the Alpha.

~AviaI can't believe I've had the courage to do this.Writing the invitations this morning was like walking through mud, forcing out pleasant terms in hopes of luring my least favourite members into a luncheon with me. It just so happens that they may have the information I need about Isaiah.But I truly, deeply do not like Elise, or Mari.For once, it's less so about their position in regards to Isaiah, and more so the attitudes they have had since I first met them.
Alpha Isaiah 25
~AviaI'm nearly asleep. Nearly.My curtains rustle in the night breeze. It's cool, the blanket's wrapped around me as I watch the way the fabric undulates, thinking. I should have gone to the compound, but I couldn't drag myself rom the bed, couldn't force clothes over my limbs. Most of all, I can't face Kadrick, or Malin. And even I changed my mind, it's far too late now. Easily past midnight.I'm not sure what compels me, but I stand, deciding laying in that bed, staring at the moving curtain any longer is going to make me lose my mind.
Alpha Isaiah 26
~AviaThe fire has officially burnt out within Kenna.For the past week, she hasn’t had anything spiteful to say, and has instead opted for staring blankly at the wall. We’ve offered her books, pens and paper, anything for her to do in her idle time, which is all day, except when Malin is in here, questioning her. And now that Kenna isn’t fighting back, Malin is bored with her, and has sent me in here to do my part in convincing her that we are the good guys.Even though seeing her in this small room makes me think that we are becoming the opposite of the good guys."How are you feeling?" I ask softly. She’s lost a lot of weight, sometimes refusing to eat for days until she
